  1. Right there with you my dude. Dualshock 4 master race.
  2. Even the best 980 can't stand up to the worst 980ti.
  3. At the end of the day it's not a huge deal. It's in the bottom corner so I'll rarely notice it. I just don't want this to be a bad sign of things to come.
  4. Will do in the morning. It doesn't look completely dead, just kind of greyish. I'm trying out some ghetto software that flashes your screen lots of colors really fast. Supposedly it can work to fix this sort of thing. Not really hopeful though.
  5. Trying to avoid doing that unless it's a last resort. Not trying to void my warranty.
  6. I just noticed something strange on my display. It seems like I have a dead pixel, but it exists in front of the rest of the pixels. I did a quick test to determine this. I put the crosshair in paint exactly on the pixel I believe to be dead, then moved my head. The dead pixel "moved" out from under the crosshair, in the same direction I moved my head, as if it existed in front of the rest of the pixels on my monitor. Is this normal? I just noticed it today and I highly doubt it's been there for more than a few days. Is there some sort of fix? I'm wondering if I should try to invoke me warranty. I have the Acer XB270HU, I'm not about to let it slide on an $800 monitor. Not sure what Acer's warranty says, but it may only come into play if 3 or more pixels are dead. Before you say it, no, it's not dirt of any kind. I wiped at it with several cloths and it doesn't feel like there is any kind of debris on the screen.
  7. Money, that's really it. I sold off some old MTG cards but I don't play anymore and the emotional attachment was gone.
  8. "And what do you do?" "I... I'm a model..." "Oh wow what do you model?" "Rubber grommets..."
  9. Fallout 3 really isn't a pretty game to begin with.
  10. You pretty much got it. It depends on the game and how many of them were made before/after it went platinum.
  11. If I could pull it off I'd wear those everywhere, even funerals.
  12. Refresh always. You can't really run 4K anyway with just one 290.
  13. That site is jank incarnate. Even if they offer a legitimate service, it sure as hell doesn't look like they do.
  14. You ain't need a new CPU. You'll most likely be good through another GPU upgrade even.
  15. How to get your thread locked: By luke8733
  16. 1440p 144Hz is king. The Gsync/freesync monitors currently available that have those specs are really nice and great to play on. I really don't think 4K is a good idea until >60 fps is supported and achievable without destroying your bank account.
  17. Rolling Stones forty licks album. The best song of course being Gimme Shelter.
  18. I don't even think the 390x is worth it over the 390. 980 is a pretty bad deal now that the Ti has come along and is a much better value.
  19. There isn't one because water cooling a 960 is pointless.
  20. Ever figure out what kind of bug was in your window? @babadoctor
  21. Personally that seems like an unnecessary workaround for something that isn't a huge problem.
  22. Apparently there is something happening in October regarding the game. HOPEFULLY a release date or at least a release window will be confirmed, but RIP 2015 release. I will be utterly shocked if they push it out before the end of the year.
