  1. Gskill, Corsair, GeIL, Kingston, Mushkin, Patriot, and PNY all make ram that looks far too similar to one another so that's a moot point. I will however agree that making it Microcenter exclusive is a pretty bad idea.
  2. Yeah but at least that orange font looks better than the one on the banner. And besides it's a sticker, just do what everyone did with their GSkill Sniper ram and take it off.
  3. Why is nobody logical looking at this post? Can somebody at least mention the fact that this ram is a great value? NO it doesn't have an aluminium finish. NO it doesn't have LEDs. But it's $10 less than the next lowest priced memory by Silicone Power. Yes it looks worse than Klevv, and Klevv costs a butt-ton more. [$49.99 for a 2400mhz 8GB] kit vs [$56.99 for a 1600mhz kit]
  4. The banner with the orange font wasn't on the article, it was on the microcenter ad. Might've been Microcenter who added the orange font.
  5. And their power supplies are Seasonic rebrands......and yet tons of people buy those for the same reason they'll buy this memory, it's a good value. Not everything has to be innovative. Why is everyone trashing EVGA on this, they're selling a 2400mhz 8GB memory kit for a base price of $49.99 which is $10 less than anybody else.
  6. I mean if you want LEDs there's always Avexir, Klevv, Crucial, and a few others. Would you really want all manufacturers to just sell ONLY LED memory? I mean give them a break $49.99 for an 8GB 2400mhz kit is pretty darn good, provided you don't need it for editing since it doesn't have the tightest timings.
  7. EVGA is expanding their presence in the PC market by adding memory to the already large list of parts they make/brand. motherboards power supplies heatsinks, graphics cards peripherals Memory EVGA has made a fairly good name for themselves with their graphics cards and it seems that they, like Asus, want to have their brand present in as many pc categories as possible.
  8. @techguru @thekeemo @ClassyEnd http://www.anandtech.com/show/7963/the-intel-haswell-refresh-review-core-i7-4790-i5-4690-and-i3-4360-tested/9 A 960 is between a GTX 670 and a GTX 770 or similar to an R9 280X (HD 7970).
  9. Seems like audio is popping on all videos. Four random videos from my sub box from HardwareCanucks, LTT, JayzTwoCents,and Kyle Landry. All of whom have fairly good audio usually. The audio pops in the part where there's a spike.
  10. Is it just me or has audio on youtube been popping?

    Does anyone know why linus is using a pebble st…

    I recall him saying that something happened to the one he was using (possibly the G watch R) and he had to go back to the pebble. He also noted that the pebble experience got considerably better over time.
  12. I wouldn't count on that. I'd expect 390X performance to be very similar to what Hexus.net posted as their April fools 3DFX voodoo reloaded benchmarks and for a 380 and 380X to be a rebranded Hawaii, I mean scrapping the Hawaii architecture altogether after a single run would be financial suicide for them.
  13. It most likely means that $899 is the base price, with higher end models costing more.
  14. That's odd; it shows in every browser with that video, assumed it would work with the app too.
  15. Going to that video, Example Short 23.976, shows it automatically.
  16. I've looked through AVSForum and I can't find any thread that compares bit-rates available on Windows 8/10 with browser,Windows 8/10 with app, Windows 7, and Linux. Maybe it's there somewhere, however there are hundreds of threads on AVSForum that could have this however they're all 200 pages long and you didn't link anything. I know what the bit-rates for each streaming resolution would be, I'm wondering under what conditions it plays what resolution via what tool (browser/app).
  17. He's using an X99 motherboard.....fairly sure there hasn't been a DDR3 version of X99
  18. @lunaflaga Has he tried moving the graphics card to a different PCIE slot?
  19. I'm just making sure, as sarcasm is hard to identify on the internet, but you're being facetious right?
  20. Compared to a 60Hz monitor......not compared to a 90Hz monitor. 60-75Hz is a tiny window, but it makes a huge difference. But I'd assume the difference between 90-120Hz or 90-144Hz is about as small as the difference between 120-144Hz.
  21. Okay so here's the question then. Is the difference between 90Hz and 120/144Hz significant? The HTC Vive VR headset and Occulus' most recent devkit used 90hz displays, and if they think that 90Hz is acceptable for a display that's a couple centimeters from your face then going above 90hz probably has much less benefit than going above 60hz does.
  22. What single GPU from AMD has enough power to push 144fps in modern titles? The FreeSync Crossfire drivers release date is TBA, they decided to delay it, and unless you're playing on low/medium settings you're gonna have a hard time getting 144fps even on a 290X.
  23. They both have 40-144Hz VRR windows. Yes it has a larger window but how often will you be over 90fps in modern games in comparison to how often you're under 40fps? I don't know about you but I more often dip below 40 than go over 90. And in games like DOTA where you see constant fps over 100fps you could just use DSR/VSR/downsampling.
