Between the D70 and D90, get the D90.  It is still a good camera for photography especially for a beginner to use for learning, but if you want a camera with good video the D70 isn't capable of recording video and the D90's video quality sucks.

Or just turn the in game music off, and run spotify in the background

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BRINGING US TO 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!!
 
Y'all are bae. That's why we've partnered up with Razer to give away one NEW Razer Blade 14, and one NEW Razer Blade Stealth (full specs listed in the announcement video), with a custom graphic designed by our very own Edzel Yago  .
 
RULES OF THE GIVEAWAY:
 
1. One entry per user. Duplicate posts and posts from duplicate accounts will be deleted before a winner is drawn, to leave one post per person.
 
2. Winners will have 72 hours to respond. If a winner does not respond within that time, a new winner will be drawn.
 
3. This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions. Shipping costs will be covered by the shipper, but any duties/taxes/other fees upon delivery will be the sole responsibility of the winner.
 
 
Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, OMG THIS IS AWESOME HOW DO I WIN ONE???:
 
1. Comment below letting us know which Razer laptop you would prefer to win. Feel free to make it fun - what would you use it for? Why do you prefer the Blade or the Blade Stealth?
 
2. This is not a REQUIREMENT for entry, but you should definitely follow Razer on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube page. In addition to providing the laptops for this awesome giveaway AND sponsoring our trip to PAX, they work with a plethora of other incredible creators in a number of spaces, and release cool content with some of them on a fairly regular basis. Please support them on social media and Tweet at them thanking them for this giveaway!!
 
3. Check back in one week. Entries for this giveaway will close on Monday, September 12, and winners will be chosen soon after. Winners will be messaged by me here on the forum.

That's it!! If I've missed anything, feel free to let me know.


GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ENTERING, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY
 
 
EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.

i7 3770K 4.5GHz
12GB 1866MHz RAM
2x GTX Titan Black (EVGA Signature)
 
Single card: 


SLI (with -multigpu command)


You have to add -multigpu to the launch commands to get it to use more than one card, but even then, the score is exactly the same, it just seems to put artificial load on the second GPU. Not really a great test IMO. 

Without -multigpu command and SLI enabled:


 
 
Also, there's already a thread with results. Not sure if you want to merge them or not 
 

Shouldn't matter, as long as it's a global key.

Global means exactly what it says. You can use/play it anywhere in the world.

global means that any steam account in the world can use that key, if you take your steam account to another country and log in there all your games will work

Check for puddles of water around your room, those fuckers tick away at your rad levels, some rad-x usually fixes the issue
 
jk lol
 
Its fairly normal for hard drives to do that, as long as you don't hear grinding or strange constant patterns you should be fine

haha thats some horrible knocking/clicking there..
If its too loud/frequent then usually it means its somewhat damaged.
Best to backup your data asap, then start finding errors and such

There will be noise coming from the hard drive, and if you have no sound dampening, that won't help either. Can you record the noise?
 
Also, my NAS drives are audible when reading/writing lots of data, but I check SMART data every 5 minutes or so and never get any errors.

It's normal if they make clicking noises when under load. It's the drive head moving back and forward.
 
If it makes noises as soon as its plugged in, and does it in a pattern, something is up...

There is no difference between the free and paid version of windows 10. The free one is for those who upgraded with a valid license of windows 7 or 8/8.1 and once you get it, it's yours even when the offer expires. The paid one is you get a key card along with the package. When the free offer expires, if you get the paid version, then you won't have to worry about whether or not it will still work, because you paid for it and your win10 key is on the key card. For those who got the free upgrade, the license is registered and activated by the hardware id generated from your computer when it was doing the upgrade. Your computer hardware ID matches with the one on MS activation list, then your os gets activated, mismatch then it will not activate. The newest build of Windows 10 is suppose to let you still activate it with your old Win7 or 8/8.1 key, but I have not tried that out yet. OEM license is tied to the computer, so if you get a new build, then it's a new license. Retail is tied to the user, it can be transferred to as many new computers as you like, as long as it's only running on 1 computer.

So, this year, we decided to put together a fun little giveaway for all of the techies in our audience... the chance to give mom, or grandma, or WHOEVER in your life that isn't a techie a tech-focused gift for the holiday!

The rules are simple:
 
- Comment below telling us what gift (value of US$300 or less before tax and shipping on Amazon) you would want to give to your non-techie counterpart and link to that gift on Amazon
- In your comment, tell us WHO you have chosen to potentially receive that gift (mom, grandma, neighbor, etc.)
- Also tell us WHY you're getting it for them (eg. a new smartphone because grandpa still has a flip phone)
 
Make sure your gift is US$300 or less on Amazon.com. If a selected winner has linked to an item with a value greater than US$300 they will be re-drawn!
 
Winners will have 24 hours to respond here on the forum. If we do not receive a response in 24 hours, we will not hesitate to re-draw.
 
The three (3) winners will be selected on December 14. Once winners have been selected, they will be contacted by me here on the forum, and will provide the full shipping info for the recipient of their gift. Once we receive that information, we will order the winner's selected gift from the recipient's local Amazon and schedule for delivery by December 25.

There are no age or geographical restrictions to enter this giveaway.

Good luck to all, and happy holidays!
 
EDIT: Winners have been selected!

@VictorC777 who selected a Canary All-In-One Home Security Device for their Mother
@Kibelok who selected a Ninja Ultima or the Instant Pot for their mom
And @KirbyTech who selected a point and shoot camera for their dad

Some currencies just mess with my mind..

The one you linked is the 1080p FHD model so no need to worry about that. Just don't get a touch model and you're golden

4k on a laptop is usless the proccesors will have to work extra hard to push out those pixels and that reduces battery life Plus windows scaling.i suggest getting a 1080p display.
But if battery life is not a problem the its a steal.

Lenovo Y50 because of it's 4K screen option - if you're doing super high res video editing (but it's not that powerful...)

Or the MSI GT80 Titan, because it's insane.

Crap that was the mesurment of the boxes my bad

NCIX: n/a
Amazon: http://georiot.co/30oN
 
The G3 from LG is the first phone I've used with a 2560x1440 display. That's a lotta pixels! Not to mention the rest of the top-of-the-range specs!
 


 
Alright, now onto the good stuff. LG is giving us TWENTY FIVE G3's to give away! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G3 from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win one of these phones!
 
Please note that they are retail units (in the video I said pre-production, but this has since been changed) and they are Korean unlocked global units, so you will need to verify if they will work correctly on your carrier! To my knowledge they will work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but I got no data - only get voice and SMS on my carrier (Bell) so YMMV.
 
Either way you can still enter to win one, and you an always use it as a portable gaming device or whatever... I mean, it's a G3 man! The wifi will work! Best of luck to everyone!
 
One entry per household.
 
The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 6th and the winners will be announced on Twitter, so make sure you're following @LinusTech!
