inb4 "New Corsair Gaming RGB fans, with 16.8million (actually 512) colours!"

Have you tried them from your onboard first?  Just curious.

Sounds cards used to have a place on the market, they do not anymore however.
Most (95% of motherboards) have adequate audio, and if you ever actually need a sound card, a amplifier is instantly a better option.

correct, my clock speeds was 1328 in gpu-z.
 
Got some better scores when i took out one of the old ram sticks.

A larger than needed psu will likely be less efficient due to efficiency only being guaranteed at certain loads. Efficiency tends to suffer at lower loads.

you have to right click desktop go to screen res then activate the display buy telling it to extend the desktop, your forgetting its a completely new monitor to the pc so it doesnt know what to do with it, happens when i change from nvidia surround into my 3 individual screens i have to tell the OS to extend to them all

I preordered bf4 but tbh im enjoying it. Ive preordered cod before but i enjoy it even though its a pile of poo. i bought titanfall which was a bit of a flop atleast i didnt pay full price. Never again will i preorder though

Watch dogs

Except if you actually graph beats ability to recreate sound you can see it is bad.
I used a decline in sales to show how I knew something was bad not why it is bad.
People have come to the realisation that these are bad.
 
Justin Biebers sales declined because he is a bad musician and after peaking drove his fans away without the ability to gain new ones. It wasn't his declining popularity that caused him to be bad it was his lack of talent to appeal to a wider audience.
Beats rising popularity is similar to Justin Biebers initially growth period. 
It appeals to the lowest common denominator people who buy without thought dispite the evidence that they are wasting money.
Soon people will realise they have wasted money and that beats are no good. Why? Because they will actually try out other  headphones now they are spending good money on headphones. 
Eventually Beats sales will decline when the people wake up and realise better products exist and Beats will go the way of Cod and JB and sales will start to tank.
 
For now it will be like how everyone mainstream thought to be a gamer you must play cod.
To fit in with my friends I must like Justin.
To be the popular guy in high school I must have beats.
 
Its a status symbol nothing more and it is why it won't last.
Marketing can only get you so far but when you start teaching people to spend money at a high level you need something else.
 
iPod's survived because for the time they were great products.
iPhone's survive because they revolutionised build quality and still hold it up to this day.
 
Something is simply good or bad when it can or cannot perform the task it is supposed to do.

Some things are opinions and some things are facts.
Fact is that Beats don't give the sound that the artists had intended and that the sound quality is lower than lower priced headphones from other companies.
Some people may like that doesn't change the fact that it's just not as good as other headphones and that it's overpriced.
Some people like the GTX750 TI that doesn't make it better than a GTX780TI.

When design and looks are more expensive than the audio quality, in f'ing headphones, then i'm just happy that i care for the sound more than the looks. I've been using a pair of 100$ headphones by Sony for about two years now, and i think they're great. Compared them to my friends beats "studio" or "pro", can't remember which of those they where, and the sound quality of the two models are easily comparable. The beats had more bass, but it only kinda made the headphones feel like they were vibrating, while making the mid's and treble murky, if the volume were to high.
 
So i'm glad that i bought these 100$ headphones, instead of a pair of headphones for 300$ or even 450$, when i enjoy the sound in these alot more. Not really sure if i made a point here, more than this is kinda fine by me, as long as not every model and brand wiill be like this. I dont know anymore, bye.

I don't want this taken the wrong way, but shouldn't someone who writes at the Verge know better than to have Beats headphones as a daily driver?

wow quad post much?

That's an inflated list price. The retail price is $99, so it's more like a 3% off.
 
Just look at these fake savings.
 

 

wait what! there cheaper in australia than america! praise gaben

I just took this about 10 minutes ago with my phone camera. Unlucky for me I don't have a decent camera

Hey everyone here a small gadget that just arrived,
since i am still waiting on the powersupply i will just be waiting and stocking up on tools,
 
Well now for the Gadget,this is the GOverlay LCD display,fully programmable.
I was looking for a small display on ebay (because i like to see the status on my Heat of the Cpu Gpu ,)so after some browsing and searching around,i stumbled on this .
 
It is fully compitable with AIDA64,and hardwaremonitor,and you are able to get a lot of other 
Plugins,
It also has a gaming mode,wich means when you enter sertain games it will show you certain information about that game,
best application to make use of this will probably be Need for speed,the hwole display can become a Speedometer.
 
I hope to bring some more build updates soon,
Keep you posted,thank you for checking out my log.
Stay tuned.

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.

So the DCU2 from asus isn't actually making direct contact ?

PC gaming OP!

This is by no means a hate thread

I'm not sure what Release Price might have been in North America at the time for the PS3 but here in AUS, I do believe it was $799+.

Would Console gamers be willing to pay $799 for the Next Gen console if it were to Guarantee them 1080p games 60fps.

Lets say for arguments say cost price ratio is 100%. If Sony and Microsoft are to Team up with AMD again for the next Console, they could get some decent Hardware in there, I dare say they could get a R9 280X in there for the price.

I know this is without any R&D but more so ready to go off the shelf products per say.

I honestly do believe PC Gamers are getting shafted because of Consoles lack of performance

 

My first ps3 was $1000 just for the console its self when it first came out and then my second also came to $1000 after buying an extended warranty neither came with games my firs 360 was also in the $1000 range with 2 crappy games.
