After watching the old Intel/RDRam and Nvidia/3DMark consumer 'benefits' unfold. Now more recently Nvidia G-Sync technology. I can't help but be very trepidatious about anything they could come up with together.

I have to agree the frilly fans did nothing for me. There is a way to turn off all the lights and be done with it all. I did add a Cooler Master Hyper 212 cooler to mine as it is just a solid, effective and decently quiet cooler for me. This pre-build...
To me, ugly were the old gold/yellow colored PCB on the GeForce 2 GTX variants. It didn't blend with anything on the market back then At least ATi gave us red PCB cards just had to fight to make it work most times.
Is interesting to see the Steam hardware survey showing that the most used graphics cards are the 10 series. If that sort of trend continues the video card industry is going to be hurting. Something will have to break. It just won't be my wallet to purchase an over-priced piece of PC equipment.
I completely forgot about that sig. The system is the same but now with a GTX 970 in it. Dying Light 2 has finally shown me the limits. Have pondered a 1080Ti from Ebay for this system but even those prices are hard to justify in an old build.
Define begging......
On a serious note, I have not been a serious gamer in a few years. These prices absolutely have me balking at doing an upgrade to play any game. This build I have now is 10 years old and needs an upgrade to play some of the later releases I am interested in but am not...
I seem to remembr this stuff all starting its slow down back when sites like Sharkyextreme and Chicks Hardware were being bought out and 'streamlined'. I actually liked the more in depth reviews of old. I respected and even looked forward to Kyle's real world gameplay reviews over the standard...
Reading this thread made me go re-install Q3A. My god what a blast that was. I had forgotten how much fun DM was! Why have games steadily drifted away from this style?
First off EA is not being sued as yet. There is only an investigation being launched to see if there is a basis for a lawsuit on behalf of the investor and to a much lesser degree, the gamer. This in and of itself may be enough to see investor run away from EA which would be great as far as I am...
What is your basis for blaming the Nvidia drivers? History leads me to believe that Nvidia has consistantly delivered more stable driver than AMD have. Although there is much improvement since AMD took over from ATI.
I will admit that I purchased the game over the holiday weekend while it was on sale. Seeing the enthusiasm and online benchmarks I gave EA the benefit of the doubt since I haven't played any games since 2005. I was leery being that EA had botched BF1942 and NFS:UG so badly. I purchased anyway...
After spending 2 hours chatting with tech support from EA, I still don't have a resolution to the problem. At this point I am doing a last resort uninstall>restart>re-install to see what happens. If this doesn't work I will just ask for my money back and uninstall the game and EA from my PC.
