    Another necro post has somebody measured the input lag. I can only find trusted reviews showing some measurements.

    3D monitor any good lcd ones?

    Thanks for the replies. The other thread has been live for a week in an active forum thus my suspicion that nobody cares anymore because 3D is so bad on LCD. Just like we have had VR headsets before but they have never became anything because they where to bad. Crimsonyoshi do you mean when 3D...

    3D monitor any good lcd ones?

    Second attempt with similar thread. Have a similar on another forum with tons of views but no opinions. Should I take it 3D is so bad on LCD nobody cares about it anymore or nobody have experience with both the first 120 hz lcd monitors and current as for 3D goes :)

    3D monitor any good lcd ones?

    I have a BenQ XL2410T but it really undelivers in term of 3D. Going from 3D I find it introduce so much graphical issues it´s not worth it. All it let me do is see what I was missing from my CRT time :( But is there considerably better monitors with 3D support nowadays? I noticed not all...

    Far Cry 4 set in the Himalayas

    Is anybody here getting a bug where an old image from the game sticks on screen and is seen transparently over my current image. I have no idea how to describe this bug. First time I had it I was in the area after the car chase and I had an image from the torture chamber showing transparent...

    Do you all have the sidewinder X4? I got the same issue with my Asus Z87-Pro and sidewinder X4. I start to believe it´s the later that is the culprit. I ran my old razer reclusa for some days and no problem after having major problems before. So much I after trying to disable power features in...

    Swiftech Storm on Socket 1150

    Swiftech believe it´s ½ ID by ¾ OD How do I interpret det. The part that say 1/2 is that the fitting to fit the waterblock waterblock. 3/4 is attaching the tube to the fitting???

    Swiftech Storm on Socket 1150

    Just got a reply and no :(. Gonna need to look for a new waterblock unless I can carve the current or something. But with my DIY skills better to sell it and buy something new. Wonder what though. XSPC Rasa has got good scores but they don´t sell that anymore. Now it´s some raystorm...

    Swiftech Storm on Socket 1150

    Has anybody seen an adapter for this? I am on socket 775 now and I assume it´s not the same approach? Swiftechs homepage don´t even list the storm anymore just some apogee CPU blocks.

    nVidia Geforce Experience

    I had an 8800 GTX before and the GTX 580 was a major bump. Most games is GPU heavy and I am generally fine with around 60 fps I don´t need 150 generally :) I don´t bench anymore and don´t run any MMOs :) We have something named consoles which holds technology back which allowed me to keep...

    nVidia Geforce Experience

    I am not pretending I have a monster setup but it has been doing fine with the games I mention and 99 % of the others. But as you say the sandy and ivy bridge CPUs perform a lot better clock for clock. I would run perhaps 350 fps at the settings recommended so it´s not about constant 60 I...

    nVidia Geforce Experience

    Installed this with the latest package but seriously what´s wrong with it. It found Bioshock Infinite/skyrim and some others and all they suggest I run minimum settings at 1280x720 on my GTX 580 and Core 2 Duo at 3,6 gig. Hope there is no total PC newbies that make the misstake of following...

    DVI turning bad?

    I have a hard time figuring out where to post this thread. I have two monitors that have VGA/DVI/HDMI inputs. A BenQ G2400W and a XL2410T. On the older G2400W I started experience issues with visual artefacts where all was green and rasterized and crap. Similar to if you overheat memory on...

    GTX 580 with only core cooled?

    hmm need to be less conservative then I suppose :) You can game 24/7 not just complete a benchmark. Any number you for sure should be able to do no problem for a conservative overclock

    3D Vision: Your best game experiences

    I bombed on my 3D monitor. I got a XL2410T and it´s just so bad but very practical with it´s adjustable and relatively stable stand.. All I see is games with potential but very few I can really have fun with. Just to much crosstalk and backbleed and just awfulness. Bulletstorm was quite nice...

    what size is the T-screws on the GTX580 stock cooler?

    Me too. I tried iems but it was not nearly enough. My reference before the GTX 580 was my watercooled 8800 GTX so not really fair I suppose :)

    what size is the T-screws on the GTX580 stock cooler?

    Didn´t matter I had to buy a complete set anyway on top of my previous two bit sets but yes it was T6. It´s kind of trolling. nVidia changed the locations of the bolts just enough to make the 8800GTX adapter plate incompatible. We are talking like less then a mm. I am sure you could carve the...

    I've got to gloat...lust a little....GTX 680 for $125

    Did you tell the seller that he could rma it? Otherwise it´s kind of an opposite scam I feel. What if it´s a poor kid or something.

    what size is the T-screws on the GTX580 stock cooler?

    Maybe this is different from brands but I got a Zotac GTX 580 with what I believe is the reference cooler and need to remove it to install my waterblock. I have a T8 but it´s to big. Wonder if it´s T6 or maybe T5 they use? I believe you have to remove the plastic cover for the MCW80 waterblock...

    water reservoir not at the top how do you solve this?

    Well refilling would be impossible if i can't get the reservoir or Refill at top or is there some magic trick? It's more that then positive pressure to the pump I am worried about. Not sure what that fill port would do?

    water reservoir not at the top how do you solve this?

    I am changing my case to a Fractal Design XL R2 and want to do without my reservoir. In my current build it´s at the top so no big problem refilling. However thinking of getting a new system with the reservoir in the radiator but I just can´t see how I can get that on top of my CPU and GPU...

    Corsair H110 vs Swiftech H220 vs Noctua NH D14

    Swiftech H220. Rings a bell. I run swiftech gear since many years. A swiftech 355 pump, their CPU block and a MCW80 GPU block and their tripple rad radiator. Quality stuff has not had a single issue. I have had cheap pumps like Koolance. I wouldn´t invest in such a system unless you like...

    GTX 580 with only core cooled?

    I have a waterblock that only cools the core. I have no intention to overclock and with CPU and GPU cooled I hope to be able to achieve decent ambients temperature and a decent airflow of course. Would you think this would work? How much difference would cheapass heatsinks do to the memory...

    Swiftech MCW80 & GTX 470 modding GT200 adaptor plate

    Shameless bump! Anybody know where to get such an adapter. I have a GTX 580 and MCW80 but no adapter. Is it non realistic to think that I could let the memory run without extra heatsinks with just cooling the core? No overclock ambitions and I think I will get decent case temperatures.

    Sleeping Dogs

    Is it possible to somehow disable the AI. Running 3D I find my GTX 580 not quite enough for the task also after disabling all advanced shadows. I have to go down on scenery complexity from extreme also. Got okay performance then but I really don´t need AA when running 3D on my 24" monitor :)

    6-to 8pin moles or 2x4pin to 8-pin for GTX 580?

    It´s there for more stable voltage then or what? I found some 8-pin to two 4-pin(3-pin) I had since before as well. Works. I had an old pcpowerandcooling 510 ASL that has been collecting dust the 6 years I ran my Silverstone Zeus. 650W peak power and 38A on the 12V line so it´s not that...

    6-to 8pin moles or 2x4pin to 8-pin for GTX 580?

    My PSU just died and wonder what adapter would be best? The replacement PSU is a bit weaker so I doubt I will be doing much overclocking on the GPU side anyway. PSU only got one 8-pin molex connector which goes to the mainboard thus I need another 8-pin adapter. Only 2 6-pin molex. It´s a...

    Whatever happened to gritty, hard, dirty realism?

    SOF 2 realistic? Have you ever in real life seen someone got their leg shot off by a bullet???? It´s not realistic it´s highly exhaggerated. At the time it was kind of effectful though but yes that gimmick was the only thing that make it stand out honestly. Shooting part was quite okay I want...

    Gran Turismo 5 XL Version - Wheel Recommendation

    You don´t want to run gamepad without driving aids though. G27 for PS3/PC is a really good budget option. If you want 360 support Fanatec offers to me a bit better but also more expensive wheels and pedals. It has the benefit for consoles that you adjust settings directly on the wheel instead of...

    Far Cry 3 trailer

    Crytek has nothing to do with FC 2 or FC 3. People hated the mutants in Far Cry 1 and loved the merc combat stuff. They loved the things FC 2 excel at but well gamers are hard to please. I don´t recall much of Far Crys story. That was hardly the reason I enjoyed Far Cry so much :D And yes I...

    Any Good Gaming Chairs Out There?

    Here is mine http://www.nixim.com/forums/album.php?albumid=7&attachmentid=155 Bought primarily for simracing and simflying but it does it all. It does bit sofa/recliner. I don´t know but the snug fit from the racing chair just make it more immersive also for regular gaming. My reclinable...

    Far Cry 3 trailer

    Made an attempt with pripyat and complete mod. Not treating me all that nice. Seems hard to play for more then 5-10 minutes straight without a CTD :(. What I seen so far is that the animation seem almost stiffer then in Fallout 3 and it´s extremely rough around the corners. My fault for...

    Far Cry 3 trailer

    Stalker even if you count them all is not enough to make the Far Cry 2 AI below average. I would love to try it out. Only touched the original felt it was promising but for whatever reason forget about it. Which one should I jump into? I tried metro2033 but it felt to linear and story driven...

    Far Cry 3 trailer

    Such a group of whiners. Can as well go out hard I am going to be flamed to death suggesting FC 2 was an excellent fps anyway ;). I don´t believe the high scores was for reviewers playing it 45 minutes. Maybe it´s because they run it for 20h+? Far Cry 2 for me wasn´t an instant hit. I loved...

    Ridge Racer 7 demo

    High-end Racing Wheel Comparison: Logitech G27 vs Fanatec GT3RS vs Fanatec Turbo S

    Isn´t it helical gears. I don´t feel much difference from the G25 but I have been on belt drive in between. I see where Lith1um is coming from. Once you turned belt drive or driven real cars much the cogs get so apparent. G27 start to become a decent buy nowadays though as the price on it...
