    Confirmed: Xbox Series S Price and Design

    OP needs an update. MS confirmed the price of the series S and Windows Central leaked the X version will be priced at $500. People talk less about GE Force now because 3rd party publishers forced Nvidia to take away our ability to play games we paid for. Nvidia firmly proved cloud gaming has...

    AMD and NVIDIA May Be Preparing Graphics Cards for Cryptocurrency Mining

    1. Bitcoin is the go to catch all term. People don't think of them as Cryptocurrencies but as Bitcoin alternatives. 2. They explicitly mention this is for Ethereum mining if you click the link. You're understanding of cryptocurrencies is limited. They have value precisely because they are...

    Who's buying AMD Ryzen? And Why? 30 day poll after intial release!

    Ive been frustrated with Intel which is why I've been waiting on Ryzen to get a feel if AMD will offer anythng close enough to being competitive. AMD has done that so I'll sponsor them with my sorely needed upgrade.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    The point of this thread is talk about the displays. Misrepresenting the backlight glow by not adjusting your camera settings is the type of discussion we need because those pictures are trying to add facts to the discussion.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    I ordered mine from CDW. The monitor has no issues other than the backlight bleed and even then it's not something I'm going to be picky about because it's nowhere near bad enough to bother me. It looks half as bad as some of the IPS glow pictures posted in this thread.

    Intel SSD 750 PCIe SSD Review: NVMe for the Client

    I found that part strange. I wish someone else did these types of tests or Tech Report did them again with software that pushes storage like the various mods for Skyrim or video editing.

    Fiji has only 4 GB VRAM per GPU

    Fudzilla was the original rumormonger for 8GB. What's your point?

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Someone made a post on OCN mentioning Acer already started selling it directly in the US but it became sold out in minutes. Keep your eye out boys. http://www.overclock.net/t/1546747/official-nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-x-owners-club/2100_30#post_23713969

    New to me Freesync Info

    Guys pcper aren't the only ones seeing ghosting. So out of 4 displays that could be reviewed 3 of them are showing signs of ghosting. The fourth one is the 29" version of the LG display so it's doubtful it escaped this problem.

    New to me Freesync Info

    Tamlin_WSGF covered 1 and 2 mostly. ULMB is a gsync feature because Nvidia specifically tied the implementation into the gsync module. You can get monitors that have similar functionality as ULMB but right now they are rare. Read this page to learn about the rest...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    The same thing happened with the Swift. Europe got it first. I don't mind. We usually get first dibs on products. :cool:

    If I was to guess, the German branch of alternate. The UK branch doesn't have it in stock. https://www.alternate.de/Acer/Predator-XB270HUbprz-NVIDIA%20R%20-G-SYNC%20TM%20-LED-Monitor/html/product/1181210?campaign=Monitor/Acer/1181210#2200346518129395787
