    Of course it doesn't. I'm just super tired of fanboys on BOTH sides seeing an article about the "evil" or "shitty" company, incorrectly interpreting the information to fit their agenda, and turning the thread into a flame war rather than discussing the issue at hand.

    I'm very interested to see the prices. Would really like to replace my 4770K with a 6 core Ryzen. Assuming all the benchmarks so far have been accurate that is..

    1) Read the post more carefully - You just need to prove you've bought the hardware to GET the game code. You can do whatever you want with the game code after you've got it. 2) Have ANY knowledge on the topic, or at least read the comments. - Someone already posted that AMD has already been doing this. 3) THEN post your opinion. I have always been against the DRM movement. People who are going to buy are going to buy, people who are going to pirate are going to pirate. Making things less convenient for the people who actually want to buy your product is not the answer... But this is hardly an issue exclusive to Nvidia.

    I really don't get the 6-core requirement.... If the game is poorly optimized, shouldn't clock speed matter much more than cores? No way it's efficiently using more than one core... And I think it's pretty obvious that if the game was well optimized, you wouldn't need an extreme Intel CPU to play it..

    Gah. Going to be hard to resist building a new Ryzen system... Just gotta keep telling myself, "Your 4770k is fine, your 4770k is fine, your 4770k is fine..."

    Remember when Corsair used to have simple but beautiful designs? If I wanted something cheap and 'gamer' looking I'd buy Logitech.
  7. -BirdiE-
    Pretty damn impressive. Certainly the first of its kind. I'd still prefer my X34 Predator though...
  8. -BirdiE-
    Unfortunately I've never used the MX Anywhere.
  9. -BirdiE-
    Yep. They're never going to make a bad game good... I think they can make a good game even better though... But obviously gameplay is king.
  10. -BirdiE-
    Well I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. I think that the games would still be very fun, but I wouldn't enjoy them quite as much. Beautiful environments can do wonders for a game. Can't speak for others, but my immersion in a game has a lot to do with my enjoyment. The more believable the characters and environment, the more I am emotionally attached to the game and the story. Little touches like shadows and edge smoothing can make a big difference. Less things to remind you it's not real, and make it feel "off".
  11. -BirdiE-
    Any you don't think the immersion or quality of the experience is in any way related to the enjoyment you get from playing a game? Obviously good graphics aren't going to make a crappy game fun, but they can very much improve your enjoyment of a good game.
  12. -BirdiE-
    I think entirely writing off any added value of improved aesthetics in games is equally as stupid. Does it play nearly as large a role as gameplay? Absolutely not... But you're bashing people for being one extreme, while being the other extreme...
  13. -BirdiE-
    Not entirely accurate... Exactly. To say 4,425 satellites with 23Gbps capacity could serivce 101,775 people would be to assume that all 101,775 people were using all of their 1Gbps bandwidth at the same time. If The Benjamins' statistics are accurate, the number would be more like 200,000 people. I'm surprised it's not more.

    I'm just saying if you can't construct a proper English comment, don't be surprised when people misinterpret it. And definitely don't be a dick about it.
  15. -BirdiE-
    I... Don't even know where to begin with this... I've clearly confused you, so let me simplify it. Here is what you quoted: Here is what you said: You say "which your 970 doesn't have", clearly identifying the object of the quote, the 970, but not the subject it is referring to. There are two subjects in this quote... 970 (object) performing DSR (subject), and 970 (object) horsepower (subject). Because the object is the same for both subjects, stating the object does not identify which subject you are referring to. If it is not identified which subject is being referenced, you are to assume it is the primary subject (performing DSR). So, reading the English language properly, I read your comment "which your 970 doesn't have" in reference to the primary subject of the quote "I'd never use DSR on my 970"... Which, of course, is not what you were trying to say. However, the error is in your post, not my interpretation of it. Even reading the entire initial post doesn't change the fact that your post doesn't say what you were trying to say.
  16. -BirdiE-
    It has nothing to do with context... The fact is that there are multiple subjects referencing the same object in the sentence you are quoting. When you don't identify which you are talking about, it is assumed to be the primary subject (i.e. The 970 performing DSR, not the 970s volume of output). I would suggest creating clear and proper sentences if you don't want people to misunderstand what you're trying to say.
  17. -BirdiE-
    Wat? DSR was introduced to the Nvidia lineup with Maxwell. The 970 very much has the ability to do that.
  18. -BirdiE-
    I'm entirely with you on the game performance business. Unless you are a professional, you really won't see any noticeable benefit in your play. i.e. your results in game won't be any better However, in terms of viewing experience... It definitely feels a lot smoother than a 60hz monitor. You'll still die like a scrub, but your death will be super smooth.
  19. -BirdiE-
    From another source So it sounds like you were right, just confusing color shift with viewing angle. (although apparently it's roughly the same, not worse)
  20. -BirdiE-
    I mean, yeah... If you're a casual gamer getting a 144hz panel thinking it's going to make you better at gaming.. you're a very confused person. I wouldn't say it's a placebo though. It's more of an aesthetic thing. I had an issue a while back with windows reverting to 60Hz from 144Hz, and when I'd boot up a game I'd notice immediately. Purely a viewing experience thing though. Definitely didn't make me better at games... God I suck at games..

    https://pcmonitors.info/articles/lcd-panel-types-explored/ I feel like you're confused.
  22. -BirdiE-
    All I know is that my 34" 21:9 monitor had the same screen height as my old 27" 16:9 monitor (had them side by side until I sold my old one)
  23. -BirdiE-
    In my experience it's quite dramatic. But to each their own. For me, 27" (16:9) is when 1080p is no longer good enough.
  24. -BirdiE-
    1080p is definitely too low for that size (IMO). I'd take 100Hz 1440p over 200Hz 1080p any day.
  25. -BirdiE-
    Pretty sure Dell came out with one for $5,000. A bargain!
