I'm now convinced that you're uninformed and don't have a grasp on basic economics.

The difference between 60hz and 100+hz monitors are night and day. Once you get used to the fast refresh rate, 60hz is a choppy pile of garbage.

You know what? I don't think the GTX Titan X and 5960x is worth 1000 dollars. I think I'll just go steal one. Maybe then Nvidia and INtel  will realize that their prices are bullshit and need to be lowered.

That's not how this works. Yes in free markets consumers set the price, and consumers do pay. That's why windows has always been 100 dollars. Did you take economics? Overpriced things don't sell. And thinking something is expensive doesn't make it overpriced. Yes linux is free, but you don't have any support, its a community backed OS, and it lacks functionality that windows has. And on apple, its 30 dollars to upgrade, but you're paying alot more for the actual OS at the beginning. You just don't know it. And it's not like apple makes a "new OS" and then charges 30 bucks for it, they add 2-3 features, and some background improvements to their current OS and says its a new OS. Microsoft calls those service packs. And Windows 8 to windows 8.1 was free. Windows 10 is going to be free for already consumers who already paid. Piracy is stupid, people who support piracy are idiots. If you don't like it, don't buy it, but don't steal it. That doesn't solve anything. You're just being a self-entitled asshole.

None of those are real terms. What we have is the term "1080p" which is an official shorthand name for the resolution 1920x1080, along with several others defined by the HDTV standard. You can call it 1080p, or you can just say the actual resolution of 1920x1080, but don't call it 1920x1080p
If you say the name "1080p" people know you're talking about 1920x1080, and not for example 2560x1080. People don't like to spell out the whole resolution, and so we come up with shorthand names so we only have to specify one of the two dimensions (in this case, the vertical dimension). But these shorthand notations only work if they imply a specific aspect ratio.
If I say "900p" am I talking about 1600x900 (16:9)? Or 1440x900 (16:10)? Both have been quite common resolutions historically. Does 1440p refer to 2560x1440? Are you sure? The new MacBook uses a 16:10 screen with a resolution of 2304x1440. Should we call that 1440p too? But then if I say the new MacBook has a 1440p screen you're going to assume I mean 2560x1440. So we only use the "p" notation for 16:9 resolutions. Other ratios and resolutions have their own names, and even if they don't you can always write out the actual resolution.
So 1920x1200 is not called 1200p, and 2560x1600 is not called 1600p. You can just call them 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 since their official names ("WUXGA" and "WQXGA") are definitely a bit unwieldy.

IMO = in my opinion.
 
Games don't really matter, as modern ones support 16:10 and 16:9 resolutions. 1680x1050 is a lower resolution then 1920x1080, but when playing games, the difference won't really be that big of a difference. Your graphics card will run 1680x1050 easier, and if you run 1920x1080, you'll have black bars, and it might look a bit pixelated. So in short, yes, you can run 1920x1080, but should you? I say no, just run at native resolution.

1680x1050, or WSXGA+ is a resolution, and its name. 1050p is nonsense that people come up with.

No, the solution is that people need to stop being self-entitled assholes and pay for the damn software they want to use. Can't afford it? DON'T USE IT. Nobody is entitled to windows, if they want a free OS there's Linux available in 20 million variants.

What do you mean, trying too hard? 

If MS wants to shame filthy thieves, by all means. Too cheap to spend a couple dozen dollars on a valid key? thats your problem for either being a cheap snob (who probably buys flagship GPUs) or for being an entitled prat who thinks software should be free. 

 

Good. They should make the watermark bigger.

You mean like... Right click and uninstall? That feature already exists.

I guess I could have. Wow. How did I not think of that.

Less than 50% of my CPU. I don't understand people that get a 250 dollar CPU with a 200 dollar motherboard to match.

SLI is fine? Then SLI Titan X

Corsair fans aren't that good. Their AF series doesn't push alot of air and their SP series doesn't perform that good, and on top of that they're loud.  NF-A14 for 140mm fans, and NF-F12 for 120mm fans. NF-A14 can be used for both airflow and static pressure, its better than the AF140 and SP140 by a large margin relative to silence/performance.

Thanks, that was actually informative.
