    Someone got their wish! http://www.easports.com/nhl/news-updates-gameplay/article/nhl-14-nhl-94-anniversary-mode-revealed

    DiRT3, Burnout Paradise, Grid 2, Project Cars. I've always been a fan of the Road Rash franchise, as well.
  4. TheSurroundGamer
    Definitely wait until you can do more than a GTX 660ti SLI setup. Sure, it'd be able to handle an Nvidia Surround setup ok, but, don't sell yourself short. Better to invest in a big setup down the road.
  5. TheSurroundGamer
    If you can ever pull it off one of these, it's definitely worth it! Let me know if you need any help building and setting one up.
  6. TheSurroundGamer
    Many. FPS, MMO, RTS, RPG, Sim, this system has seen its share of genres.
  7. TheSurroundGamer
    Yes, sir.
  8. TheSurroundGamer
    Alright, guys! Here's Unreal's latest engine, Unreal Engine 4 running on my triple-monitor setup. This is a next-gen engine that runs on a wide range of platforms including consoles, glorious PCs, mobile platforms, and even web browsers! Check it out and let us know what you think. B)
  9. TheSurroundGamer
    What's up, guys!
  10. TheSurroundGamer
    Yeah, guys, it's definitely worth it to play this game on a triple-monitor setup! The game is a lot of intense, over-the-top fun--a welcome side addition to the Metal Gear series.
  11. TheSurroundGamer
    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance looks and plays downright AWESOME on triple-monitor setups, as you can well tell from this example. The game does not officially support triple-monitor resolutions, so, I had to make use of Flawless Widescreen. A big shout out to HaYDeN over at WSGF for making this possible! Enjoy the example, and, for those of you that have triple-monitor setups, give it a try for yourself, yes? B)

    If you read the 'About' section of the video, you'll know why I had to use that music.

    If Intel Iris Pro was available to a system builder like me, I would have went with it instead. Intel, for some reason, restricted Iris Pro Graphics to OEM builders and mobile (meh) devices. Intel Iris Pro has better performance than Intel HD Graphics.

    EPIC GLITCH!! Titanfall Beta on Intel HD Graphics 4600! This is hands down the most epic glitch that I have ever seen in any video game. If you know of one even more epic than this, please enlighten me.

    I gave up trying to play Ghosts on this setup. It just takes too long in between menus, lobbies, and game setup. The game is just not optimized for this type of setup. Thanks! It's been surprising me with its gaming performance, too. Integrated graphics have come a long way! Here's my playthrough of the CLoS2 demo on a lightweight, low-power desktop PC running on Intel HD Graphics 4600 integrated graphics (no video card). This entire build runs on less than 150 watts! Wild sick game! Runs well and fun to play!
