It is an impressive video. Even if they are only flying at a 45 degree angle at maximum that's still impressive in an airliner that size no matter how much it has in fuel/passenger weight.

It depends on where you buy on G2A.com as to whether something shady is going on or not. If you buy from the main store then it should be completely legit. If you buy from the Marketplace then you are buying from individuals which is where it gets hazy. Some people may be selling keys they bought an...

Apparently it's not shipping yet as I still haven't seen it show up on the Newegg or Microcenter web sites.

Wonder if there will be an i3 with iris pro 6200 for the desktop for cheap?? Given they even removed it from Skylake for their I5 chips it suggests Intel doesn't believe Iris Pro is really ready for the desktop market. Broadwell was an experiment that worked but not well enough to get Intel to comm...

144 Hz is a premium and is generally only available on TN displays. 2560x1440 is schweet, but also carries a significant premium. But besides that, haven't we seen a lot of 24" IPS 1080p displays go on sale for <$150 in the past year? That's a pretty good starting point. Maybe it doesn't hit a...

And here I expected the first post to say "AMD: Everything is 40% off!"

A couple of things strike me off hand. One, congrats on the graduation. Two, SLI can cause issues with a number of games so I'm not sure if it's worth it over a better single GPU. That being said your system shouldn't have any issues giving you good performance at the resolution you are going for.

DISM can be helpful I had some errors that kept coming up in my Win8.1 logs that I couldn't get rid of in any other way and I was able to get rid of some of them using DISM. It's not a perfect solution but it can fix issues that SFC won't touch.

The list presented so far is good. I prefer ffdshow over the CCCP codec pack but either is good. I'm also a fan of Irfanview for image viewing and WinDirStat to give me a good overview of where my disk space has gone. Beyond that there are system tuning tools like HWinfo64, MSI Afterburner, Speedfan...

I received a similar sort of message some time ago (though not as full of vitriol.) Ended up just deleting it as the poster had only just created the account so I expected he was some sort of spammer about to get the ban hammer anyway. Never received another.

Say what you will about Krogoth, but he has one thing right. Micromanagement has been important and it's becoming critical in the LoTV multiplayer. Many of the changes Blizzard has made are designed to force players to concentrate on their micro-management. Sure, they still need to have a good econo...

Actually I found his comments quite reasonable. Yes, he suggests people should listen at 96-kilohertz/24-bit but his main point is that they should be recording at that rate. Which makes sense as recording at anything less is losing information that can't be retrieved. Sure, they might lose more inf...

I may be one of the few but I have all of my games installed. Currently GOG takes up 36GB. Origin takes up 185GB. Ubisoft takes up 20GB and finally... Steam takes up 705GB. I'll have to admit that I haven't played many of the games. Just picked them up cheaply due to them being free (Origin/EA has d...

except that DX12 was under development in its current form *before* Mantle was announced Was it? We have heard nothing from Microsoft on the issue. Some parts of it may have been, but I highly doubt any serious effort was underway. Honestly I see the NVIDIA fans and the AMD fans as a little ridicul...

I think you covered it in your reply. When looking at cheap TN panels the color shift can be noticed just by turning your head on larger monitors. That isn't true with IPS monitors. With an IPS monitor you need to actually look at the monitor from further off angle to notice the color shift. That ma...

I wonder if it could be something like the indexer running to enable quick file searches? That seems like something that could run multiple times during the day.

Is it just me or do those GPU clock speeds look particularly low? I would expect them to be around 1000 for the GPU and memory instead of around 350. Though the graphic test results don't look bad and even if the GPU is running slow that shouldn't make the system feel slow.

Well, let me step back into this with my own system (also a G3258 and an MSI PC-Mate Z97 Microcenter special.) I am currently running with an old Cooler Master Gemin II S524 for my cooler. I never tried with the stock heat sink since I managed to break the old stock heat sink I had on my P4 Northwoo...

Auxy, I don't see what you see when I look at that review. Only in Watchdogs does the 280X clearly beat the 285. In Crysis 3 the 285 narrowly loses out to the 280X as it does in Borderlands 2. In Thief the 285 clearly beats the 280X. In power usage and noise they appear to be fairly close. Which bea...

nanoflower

Yes, it seems like something isn't quite right with your setup. Depending on what cooler you are using you should be seeing temps of under 40C while idle even with the Intel cooler. Also if your system is rebooting while installing drivers it seems that you may have other issues. What is your curren...

To bring this back on target what is the OP's customer's intended resolution going to be? If it is going to be 1080P for the next few years then is there really an issue with having a high performing GPU with only 2GB of memory? If the customer intends to move to 4k then it certainly makes sense to ...

It seems to me that every bit of good news for AMD is tied to 2016. That means this year will see AMD coasting. Now hopefully that means no bad news to tank the stock but also nothing that will provide a good reason for the stock price to rise. So I'm not expecting a big increase in share price this...

The only refurb experience I had was with my video card that had the fan stop. It would start to spin at power on and then stop after a few seconds. I sent it back to MSI and now it works just like new. That being said I don't think I would take the risk on a refurb unless it was truly a great deal ...

I very much doubt you will find a Microcenter in Australia but perhaps there is another company doing a similar deal. I picked up my G3258 and a MSI Z97 PC-Mate motherboard for $100 (normally the PC-Mate alone goes for $100) as that is a common package deal that Microcenter offers. Others have done ...

Never seen Jalapeno flavored Kettle brand chips in my local store. The ones I do see are from Cape Cod http://www.capecodchips.com/products/original-potato-chips/sweet-spicy-jalapeno.html . Those are so bad for me because I do tend to eat them all at one sitting once I start. There's also a couple f...

With out a doubt I prefer a matte finish. Not the old style heavy matte but the lighter matte is great. I had a CRT for the longest time with a glossy finish. Even with the blinds closed enough light came through during the middle of the day that I couldn't do certain things because of the glare. Wi...

Is it a rumor when the company says it at their own convention? Blizzard said this next expansion will be a stand alone game. I think that's likely for two reasons: 1) To make it easier for people to get into the game without having to purchase the previous two releases and 2) to make it easier for ...

The only freemium complaint you might make about Starcraft 2 is that they let people play the base MP game for free, but that's just to get more people playing. If they like it then maybe they will buy the full game. If not then there's no harm since they aren't being hit up with micro-transactions ...

I'll add my vote to the 750 TI. It's not an ideal card but it will deliver decent performance at 1080P or less and it won't require a new PSU.
