Wife now decides she wants to use it after I was looking into parsec. So that's not an option anymore. After that I guess i'll be looking at a new machine. I was looking at something fanless like: https://www.amazon.com/MINIX-NEO-N42C-4-Upgradeable-Technology/dp/B0788DJQR9/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2SMOLUD7QDWCH Parsec doesn't seem to work well for remotely playing on one pc to another if your playing yourself. From my light research it seems that parsec is designed for playing with friends locally? Am I just reading that wrong?

I didn't know about Parsec, I guess i'm looking at the least amount of power consumption and noise I guess are my two bigger concerns for long term use.

Hello, I'm looking to find the most optimal way to remotely play my video games on my TV in another room.. I have wired connection ready to use, but I wanted something low powered, quiet, but powerful enough to play on the big screen with the least amount of input lag possible. I was going to use my wife's surface book she doesn't use anymore, but I figured that was overpowered for what I want to use it for. Also I want to be able to just turn on my controller and connect directly to the remote PC. For that i have Controller Companion for steam (seems to work well with my laptop). Well forget this now, beause now she's using it so I'm looking for a machine. I've had a very buggy experience with Steam Link and I was hoping that a PC to PC remote stream would have better results. Does anyone have any good success stories or recommendations on what I could use? I'm just not sure what the best thing to do is

Hello all! So I'm trying to find the right monitor for me. I use my monitor for gaming, but I do the occasional video editing, 3D modeling, photo editing type work as well. I'm trying to find the best all around monitor. I've been looking at this Samsung - CHG7 Series C27HG70QQN 27"(https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-chg7-series-c27hg70qqn-27-hdr-curved-qhd-freesync-monitor-matte-dark-blue-black/6243735.p?skuId=6243735) But I've also been looking at Aorus AD27QD 27"(https://www.amazon.com/FreeSync-Monitor-Exclusive-2560x1440-Display/dp/B07MVX3PKS) I want to stay around the price range of these two monitors ($500-$600 max) and it's gotta be 1440p 144hz monitor that's got great color accuracy and all around good monitor. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

It's not any background processes, i've removed any undesired ones from startup and i've done fresh reboots right before i started playing and still had performance issues. I just OC'ed my processor, we'll see how that does

I haven't dived into OC too much. Any suggestions on a safe OC levels and or cooling methods? i recently purchased a Cooler master cpu cooler but my cpu temps max at 67 degrees Celsius .

I play heroes of the storm. I play it on High settings (there is an ultra setting that i stepped down to in finding a sweet spot) I have a i7 4770k (not overclocked) - 32gb of ram - a gtx 1070ti - and running on a samsung ssd - and using a ultra wide 29 inch 1080p monitor with 60hz. The problem i experience is I get lag spikes (frame rate not network) during the game. I imagined with my hardware I shouldn't experience any lag spikes on 1080p 60fps. I also have a comcast business class internet and i do not experience network interruptions. I am wondering if my CPU is my bottleneck at this point. If i reboot my machine before I start playing I tend to have better results, but I feel like I'm hitting a bottleneck somewhere or something isn't fully compatible with one another. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

I had two gtx 760's since they were new and i bought my wife a gtx 970, all of which were Zotac and we've never had an ounce of problems with them. I just bought a zotac 1070ti as well. They've become my new favorite GPU brand.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I ended up picking up a Zotac 1070ti for $300 on ebay. It's gonna be here tomorrow and i'm psyched for it.

I would prefer to be at the highest graphics settings and have the smoothest gameplay possible while doing it. sounds like maybe a 1080 won't be a waste

Well i thought a 1070 would be a good compromise, but i considered getting a 1080 and felt that would just be a waste of money

So i currently have a 4770k i7 with 32gb of RAM. Right now i'm rocking two GTX 760's running SLI but I feel like i want a better upgrade but i don't want to waste money. I currently am using a https://www.amazon.com/LG-29UM58-P-21-UltraWide-Monitor/dp/B01B67KAQ4 for my monitor with plans to maybe upgrade in the future but not right now. I currently want to upgrade to a single GTX 1070 to get off of SLI but I am not sure if upgrading any higher will just be a waste of money for 1080p 60hz gaming. Any suggestions?

I would agree, i have a 29 inch ultrawide at 1080p and it's good but stretching that out another 20 inches i think would be too much for 1080p. 1440p or better!!

I didn't realize it was 1080p either, so if i go for a curved monitor, it should at least be 1440p right?

So my buddy showed me this monitor: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/49--chg90-qled-gaming-monitor-lc49hg90dmnxza/ And i immediately began drooling at the idea of using this kind of monitor, but since there are monitors like this https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-34-curved-gaming-monitor-aw3418dw/apd/210-amsv/monitors-monitor-accessories that go for a similar price that are way smaller. I'm curious if anyone has really looked into the validity of this type of monitor at that high of a size. basically i need a reality check for this monitor, i want it! lol

That sounds like a lot of setup compared to what I have now. I guess I'll try and troubleshoot the SB again and see if there is anything I can do to make it work properly. Thanks for the help everyone!

Didn't even notice that! Is it basically Lenovo that owns this type of market?

Would a Dell XPS with a Razer core be almost equal?

I currently have 256gb and it's manageable. I would like more storage but this is probably something I can let slide.

I would say yes, because I do use it as a tablet at times. There are times where I also attach my SB screen above my desktop and use Synergy to control it.

Absolutely, hence why I was seeing if anyone else knows of something that I haven't seen yet.

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I currently have a Surface Book 1 with the GPU base. At first I loved it and it was flawless in my eyes, but eventually firmware updates seem to have caused so many issues I'm wanting to sell it and get a replacement for it. I use this thing for almost anything (programming, video editing, gaming, and more). Some of the things I want in a replacement would be, decent gaming in 1080p (doesn't have to be a full fledged gaming laptop) Good performance in video editing Touch screen lightweight Foldable (similar to if the surface book screen detached) I'm going to use whatever money I get for the SB1 to buy the new one. I'm looking for any advice. I won't touch Lenovo's or HP's so don't bother recommending those. Thanks in advance.
