Hey guys,
 
I just got my first 4k monitor and so far I am loving it. The screen real-estate is amazing!
 
Just curious, do you guys make your icons/text/application larger (150% for example) in display settings, or do you leave it as 100%?
 
Thanks!

Thank you, worked perfectly. Have a constant 60 now

Howdy folks , wondering if you got any new tech gifts the past day?

Hopefully some new pc parts Have a Merry Christmas Everyone!

^^ Ur right.... I forgot a good amount oops

So, Reddit is down right now and I want to share this.
 
So I am kind of new to starcraft (not completely new, but yeah) and today I fended off a cheese/rush. For those who don't know what cheese means, its a Korean slang for cheating, which is not really cheating, but more so using a odd tactic (StarCraft used to be extremely popular in Korea, but now LoL is). The opposing player rushed me with medivacs and marines. I called gg initially, but I decided to stay and fight. Luckily I had orbital up and spammed a bunch of mules, then began to build more SCVs. I then built some more siege tanks, marines and marauders. I went to his base, and I was able to destroy everything besides his command center (which he flew away) and then later on he landed the command center again and I was able to almost destroy it, but then he left the game
 
Do any of you play StarCraft?
 
Thanks

Its a game series that I could never get into myself. i'm an just god awful at RTS game. Terrible at them. I'm am completely fascinated by pro level competition though. I love watching high level game play. The more cheese the better. The standard meta gets boring after watching a thousand games. 

Since Christmas (and i just finished decorating my tree) is getting close i thought i'd start up this thread. 
 
 
 
Rules:
1. list three of your favorite Christmas movies
2. If you don't celebrate Christmas but think some movies are good you can list them.
3. If you don't celebrate Christmas DO NOT discriminant against those who do.
4. No arguments over religion this is not the place for that.
5. Be respectful of your fellow members.
 
 
Here are mine
1. Disney's version of A Christmas Carol
2. Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
3. The Polar Express
 
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!
 
(I also love the home alone movie 1-3)

i don't think so. Especially when you oc your card, you get almost the same performance out of the two!

Not after being famous or anything, but would love to make folks happy with content i guess.
 
Edited my first video today, took me like 3 hours LOL and i bought a full license for Cyberlink Power Director...
 
First vid is Counter Strike showing just how bad i am at it.
 
Don't know why i needed to share this but i did.

Lol wow didn't look like it from the pics, thanks for the help

I can get 4790k and a z87 with bios update for 300 dollars. I think I am going to get that and pair it up with a 380, and I'll have a great rig.

Lol, good thinking
Thanks for the reply.

Not sure. I will look for 280x I guess

We were referencing to the AMD-4130.

I need help with picking out the parts and making sure that it is right.
 
I am going between $600-$650, planning for 1920x1080 50+FPS with Medium to Max settings.
 

Try to post a picture.

Lol yeah, except I have a 15.6 inch laptop and I don't want us to get lost in there

Oh, i forgot... sorry to bother.

I have been looking for one as well, hopefully someone on this form has one.
 
EDIT: I have heard that the laptop padding on the Amazon backpack is very thin, so I would recommend not getting it. Also, that Rosewill backpack looks nice, I think I might get that one.

Just started playing around 3 months ago after switching from LoL, and I really like the game. I am lucky to have friends that are really good and they taught me the game well. Currently at 130 hours.

When you say that the screen froze in a strange way, did it almost become static? If so, this is what we call artifacting, and it can potentially be a sign of a faulty GPU. 
 

yup .... Lol. According to linus' video they are similar to membranes.

980 Ti
