    E982 reacted to SonoDanshi in Cheap Racing Sim Seat?   
    I had a quick look around and there is basically the sub $200 option which constitutes a racing frame that holds pedals, wheel and a shifter. With those you just pull it in front of an existing seat/chair. I'm not a fan of these as you tend to push yourself away from the wheel when you push the pedals.
     
    Unfortunately the next step up starts at about $350 which includes a chair and they then scale up to silly money.
     
    I have the RSEAT RS1 which is amazing, but not for the budget concious.

    The only way you are probably going to get a decent FPS is by messing with your video settings and finding what settings work best together

    I still use Win7 since its release back in 09, It has never let me down so I'm gonna stick with it until they drop support for it, Which I can't see happening anytime soon because microsoft would be foolish to drop support for the OS with the most market share. There has been some speculation about it not supporting DX12, But so far we haven't heard from any reliable sources, it's more or less just whispers reverbing through the internet Hopefully windows 10 will be a baws, I haven't checked it out yet and probably won't until official release.

    Sound like Eyefinity Maximizing, which happens to all of us, there are multi monitor programs that enable more control over your layouts/window options. ie: Display Fusion - http://www.displayfusion.com/Compare/

    If the chipset is compatible with both CPUs then yes, AM2+, AM3+, and AM3 CPUs will work. Make sure both CPUs you plan to use will work on the AMD760G chipset before you buy it.

    E982 reacted to PatrikStar24 in PNY GTX 970 (w/ reference blower cooler) Review   
    After 1 month on back order (and another 1-2 weeks for it to actually ship to my house afterwards...ugh...), the upgrade to my old reference Radeon HD 6870 has arrived. I will try to put this review together as best as I can.
     
    Let's start with temps, it cools quite well for a blower cooler, with the only side effect being that it heats up my room faster as a result. Idling at Windows desktop and when web browsing, I get 34-36℃(down from 40-46 w/ old card) with an ambient temperature of 80°F (I know it's November, but I live in a Desert, we don't expect cold weather until later in the month, if that). After 2 matches in Warthunder, it didn't get higher than 62℃(down from 70). Renegade X never got higher than 53℃ (down from a whopping 70-75). After 5-10 minutes in MechWarrior Online, highest it got was 68℃(down from 75-80. See where I'm going with this?). TL;DR It's a cool running card.
     
    On to quality. Surprisingly enough, my unit doesn't have coil whine like other people have. Luck? The cooler housing felt a little on the cheap side, but not so cheap that it breaks with the littlest bit of force. At idle, no noise comes from the fan, under load though, there is a quiet but uncomfortable grind-like noise starting at 50% fan speed. I confirmed this by using MSI Afterburner to manually run at 50-60% fan speed. Again, not too loud of a noise, but it is a bit uncomfortable. Maybe it'll work itself out down the line.
     
    Next is game performance. Before I start, I just want to say that going from 1 GB VRAM to 4 GB has really made a difference (especially w/ MWO and Crysis 2, both using ~2 GB VRAM). WarThunder: constant 60 FPS @ maximum settings (motion blur and SSAO are off, with bad screen tearing problems specific to Vsync within this particular game, all other games are fine). MWO: constant 60, no drops @ maximum settings (AA is off, but has the option for TXAA). Crysis 2: 60 FPS w/ DX 11 patch and High res texture pack installed, maximum settings, maybe the occasional drop into the 50s (up from 20-25 w/ occasional jump to 30-40 on old card... God help me...).
    TL;DR 60 FPS across the board with 1 or 2 exceptions
     
    Final Rating: 9/10

    Although I could have waited for the MSI blower (4GD5), that would have taken even longer to eventually show up at my front door, and I am a VERY impatient man. Excellent for people in low or nonexistent airflow situations, it saved me from building a whole new rig from scratch (although I might do that post-Cannonlake if thing go well for me anyway).

    Available at these place AFAIK:
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NH5ZNWA/?tag=pcpapi-20
    Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133564&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
    I think it's also available on NCIX, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

    You can't put real Windows or Android onto a Playbook.
     
    You can sideload Android apps and some will work but there's a very limited selection that works fully with the Playbook.
