    Interesting... I don’t follow or play Fortnite. What’s been the cause of the exodus?

    What are scariest characters in games?

    The alien in alien isolation was scary but honestly I thought the Android robots were worse. Also, when in a few of the labs in the STALKER games, some of the mutants were terrifying.

    Suggestion on a new office chair

    I haven’t sat in it yet, but I have the X-Chair (xchair.com) on my radar as a replacement for my cheap gaming chair. It’s expensive but the reviews I have read have been positive.

    Monitor Upgrade

    I have the Acer Nitro XV272U. It's slightly more expensive than the MZ27AQ, but has better ergonomics (stand) and has 144hz. I am very pleased with it.

    Anyone still play Quake Champions?

    I play occasionally. I used to be big into duel but as time goes on I dislike the champions more and more in duel. Movement champions, fine, but Eisen putting down a turret mid fight is so annoying. Doom’s double jump is also super annoying to place against. As is Athena. As is Sorlag’s acid...

    Are TN panels as bad as they used to be?

    Currently considering moving to a 144+ he monitor. I’m coming from an ASUS 60hz IPS monitor. I’m wondering if TN’s have improved their color reproduction in the last 7-10 years and it wouldn’t be as noticeable if a switch, or if I should exclusively consider another IPS. Thanks

    2700 enough for my needs?

    Wow, that’s an awesome deal! It will certainly meet your needs for 1080p. I have a similar set up (but w/ a first gen Ryzen) and I wouldn’t change a thing.

    noblechairs Hero Gaming Chair Build & First Impressions @ [H]

    Excuse me for not having read any of the gaming chair reviews, but they generally all seem to use the exact same design with maybe some different material/colors. What really differentiates one of these chairs from another? It wouldn’t surprise me at all if there was a single manufacturer of...

    Microsoft Hints at “Official” Halo Coming to PC

    The game isn't "shut down", you can still go online and play. Microsoft has asked that the "official" download links from the website be removed, which the El Dewrito team has complied with. Currently there's about 4500 players online, and if you're shifty, you can still find a download link to...

    THE FRAG PRESENTED BY THE DALLAS STARS

    So apparently I'm too late to the party and the BYOC is now sold out. Any idea if there will be a "first come first serve" or seat expansion? Was looking forward to this.

    What's the BYOC capacity? I'd like to go... $55 is a little steep if it's going to be like 15 people.

    Is this real game play? Some parts looked like a play through without a HUD and other times it looks pre-rendered.

    Is Ryzen stable?

    I've had zero stability issues with my 1700x and ASUS motherboard. I was expecting a few issues especially with a rev1 BIOS but everything has exceeded my expectations.

    Gigabyte Gaming 5 not posting out of the box

    Does the power supply turn on? I had an issue getting my Ryzen set up working and it turned out that the CPU seemed slightly warped and wasn't dropping all the way into the socket. I had to be sure to push the CPU all the way into the socket then attach the cooler. When I tried to turn on my PC...

    Issues with getting AM4 Motherboards working -- MSI Carbon and Asus Prime

    Wow, so not long after I posted this thread, I finally found out what the solution was. When installing Ryzen into the AM4 motherboard, I was letting it "fall" into the pinholes then pushing down the lever to lock the CPU in place. However, what I finally noticed was that the lever, while maybe...

    Issues with getting AM4 Motherboards working -- MSI Carbon and Asus Prime

    Hi! I've had some real trouble getting my Ryzen build up and running the past several days. First, I had the MSI X370 Carbon board. I built the computer with the below specs: CPU: Ryzen 1700X MOBO: MSI Pro Carbon RAM: Corsair Vengance LED 16GB PSU: NZXT 650 watt GPU: Radeon R9 290 HDD...

    Upgrading to Ryzen, what is your old/soon to be replaced system

    I'm replacing my Phenom II X6 1050T with a Ryzen 1700X. Wasn't really "waiting" for a new AMD chip per say, but recently in the past year or so, I've just been too CPU limited by games and it was time to upgrade. THe fact that Ryzen is good in a lot of applications doesn't help matters. Full...

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Interesting, thanks for the feedback. This seems probable as I first noticed this issue at Quakecon 2016, which happened to be only a few days after the Anniversary update. I'm going to continue to try and find a solution that doesn't require a re-installation.

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Hi All, Thanks for your responses thus far. Still haven't solved this problem. I have noticed that the only game I own that DOESN'T need a restart to fully clock is DOOM. This morning I tried 3 games, Planet Coaster, Enemy Territory:Quake Wars, and DOOM. Planet Coaster and ET:QW both had my GPU...

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Hi all, Has anyone had this problem before? My Radeon R9 290 doesn't like to fully clock until after a restart of the computer. Booting up a game my GPU will generally clock at between 500-700 MHz. Only after restarting my computer and booting up the same or a different game will the GPU run at...

    Is Dirty Bomb any good?

    I've played several hours of this game. I very much enjoy it. Reminds me of a simplified version of Quake Wars... I was never a fan of BRINK, and this game seems to do more by actually doing less. I look forward to playing it more as the game develops.

    AMD "Never Settle" free games included in box?

    Greetings, I am hopefully going to the retail store to purchase a r9 290 video card. The retail store I'm purchasing from (Fry's) doesn't have any information about the "Never Settle" game bundle being included. I was wondering if the coupon code is included in the video card box, or if it...

    Question About Google Drive

    Yes, I believe GoogleDrive would work in the way you are expecting. You can install it on Laptop B, immediately pause the sync it will start, go to "Preferences" and select only the folders you want GDrive to sync.

    Looking for a little laptop/ultrabook help for back to school... budget is $1000

    Thanks for your reply. While I know Apple can have some pretty good laptops, my preferred workstation will have windows on it. Perhaps it's unrealistic to have my requirements in a $1000 laptop. The Lenovo looks like it could work, but I certainly like to read a review or two to learn about the...

    Looking for a larger mouse

    For those curious - I splurged and got the Mionix Naos 5000 and I absolutely love the mouse! It fits just like my old SS and I haven't had any of the problems I had with my SS mouse. Very happy, and the software works well.
