Wonder if they fixed the memory leak. People were complaining the game would run like shite after a few hours of continuous play.

I just can't trust ubi on pc games.

It's nice they actually went with rpg mechanics on AC tho.

I use white led bands behind both my monitors. It gives me a good ambient light while gaming with the lights off.

Which strips do you use? I’ve been looking into doing this as well.

My new pc build that I finished a couple weeks ago is a white LED theme. Nothing special but I really like it.

I have 2 x 39". One for each 32" monitor. These do not come with a controller or on/off switch. That is sold separate. I didn't need that because they stay plugged into the monitors back USB port for power 24/7.

Yeah I have had one of those on my TV for awhile, really like them. Helps the eyes late at night watching a movie or binge watching TV shows.

Yeah it is awesome right!

I'm a huge fan of ambient lighting. I rather keep lamps on instead of the main lighting for the room. These are great like you said on the eyes. Plus you can still see shtt when reading or messing around with random stuff.

They take 8 pin and 6 pin connectors where the 1080 only takes the 8 pin. I hope I have the right wires.

Meanwhile on the Console front, a guy walked in bragging about his One X having 6 teraflop, I told him one of those cards would out do that, and got defensive and I pulled up the specs and when he read 11.5 teraflop he got mad and walked out.

Your card will come with molex adapters if your psu doesn't have enough wires.

As long as your psu is good enough for it, you should be fine.

Should be quite noticeable. I know when I went from 75-144 it was drastic and my stance has been I will never go back, even returned my LG 4K monitor after a month I just couldn't do 60-75Hz.

90 is the sweet spot IMO. Never owned a 144 but owned a 120 w/ Gsync.

It all comes down to the game. Some games I just want the best picture possible and others frame rate.
