You plan to go from a budget card (660 ti) to an overpriced one (Titan X)?

Should I get a GTX 780 ti Kingpin or a R9 290x?

Ended up getting a 290x for $240 after rebate. Still bought the GTX 780 ti Kingpin for $375 and flipped it for $500. The 290x should hold me over until the new AMD cards or Nvidia's 980 ti or whatever it will be. Hopefully those cards will run 4k monitors better. As for now, I will just...

[GeForce Forums] Nvidia has officially blocked 900M overclocking

I can't believe Nvidia apologists are even supporting this. Wow. I am graphics card agnostic and even though this doesn't affect me I will absolutely be wary of Nvidia. Greedy corporation.

3440x1440 opinions: considering a LG 34UM95-P

Ugh why are these so expensive. I have been trying out the Dell 27 inch 4k IPS (P2715Q) that I got for $400. I could go dual 4K IPS for the price of one of these. Decisions... Wish there was a way to see this monitor on display or try it out. My best buy only stocks the low res versions.

Should I get a GTX 780 ti Kingpin or a R9 290x?

The R9 290x I am looking at is the Asus DCU II. I will overclock whatever card I get but only on air. Main games I currently play are CS:GO, Battlefield 4, Total War, Marvel Heroes, Diablo 3, Borderlands, and a bunch others. The XFX card seems like a good deal. Know what the warranty is...

Should I get a GTX 780 ti Kingpin or a R9 290x?

My computer currently does not have a graphics card. I am able to get a GTX 780 ti kingpin edition for $375. I am also able to get a R9 290x for $260 after rebate. My rig runs a 4k monitor. I am looking for a single card solution so I don't want CF nor SLI. I am going to get one of those cards...

Need some advice with a Dell monitor

The Jan 15 is for a refund. After that they would do replacement only. I'm fine with a replacement. Usually the warranty covers manufacture defects, this is more like damage to the screen. If I can get in writing that they will replace the screen once they get more in stock then that's fine with...

Need some advice with a Dell monitor

So I bought a new Dell monitor the P2715Q. While checking for dead pixels I found an area that was damaged. It looks like the actual screen is damaged. http://i.imgur.com/c2hDNOK.jpg I called Dell and they said that they are sold out of it. They can only offer me a refund not a replacement...

Going from 580 SLI to 7970 CF?

Well I sold both my 580s over the weekend for $360. So my rig currently does not have a graphic card. The 7970s should be here this week. People have made good points in this topic. I am going to thoroughly test out Crossfire when I get both cards. I had a pretty good experience with SLI...

[DEAD for now]: i7-4770K $199.99 at MicroCenter 11/18-11/21

So tempted to get the Haswell i7 but it's a bummer I would need a new mobo. My i5 2500k is at 4.6 and I only use my rig for gaming. Though this is an excellent price.

Going from 580 SLI to 7970 CF?

To be fair one of the reasons I have not upgraded my monitor is because my monitor is 120hz. Probably won't upgrade until the higher res monitors can get refresh rates as high as 120hz.

Going from 580 SLI to 7970 CF?

Nope. I used shoprunner, which means free return shipping. I have learned when it comes to deals always buy first and then discuss things later. If I decide not to keep them then I just ship them back. No big deal. No charge to ship back and no restocking fee. Just came here to see...

Going from 580 SLI to 7970 CF?

Wait I was under the impression that the 7970 CF is stronger than a single R9 290 and single GTX 780. I mean I can still return them. I thought it was going to be a nice upgrade. The main thing I disliked about my 580s was the VRAM being so low.

Going from 580 SLI to 7970 CF?

Got a good deal on 2 7970 today (Sapphire Vapor X 3 GB version new). I will have about 30 days to return them. Just wondering what kind of upgrade this will be when compared to the 580 SLI set up I have now. Reason I bit on them without doing research was because of the price ($220 each). I...
