  1. Shield tablet is more compelling to me especially because I'm in the market for a tablet, and having GPU acceleration is a nice perk in some instances.
  2. Source: http://www.videogamer.com/news/working_with_microsoft_is_perfect_according_to_xbox_one_indie_dev_2.html Despite all the latest bad news from Microsoft, It is interesting to see articles like this one. It's hard telling whether this dev has experienced the bad end of Microsoft, but hey It is what it is.
  3. I feel like this would be more compelling if it had a larger form factor (Like console size). I'm not a huge fan of these "ultra small super powerful PCs." It's an impressive feat. I'll give gigabyte that but, it's almost not worth the loss of that much performance out of a GTX 760. Beef up the form factor and keep the same price and I think gigabyte would have had a very hot item.
  4. Alright I will give that a shot. Technically this is a new build but I have had everything except the graphics card for close to two months now. The graphics card came in last week and I have been trying to understand all the little things like what's described above. Other than that I am very pleased with the card. It runs everything, but I'm still a Halo fan, and I have to get my fix.
  5. I just purchased a this card, and I've run into an issue where when with GeForce experience because doesn't automatically detect what card it is for drivers. I even checked Nvidia's website detector would to do the trick, but unfortunately it didn't. I installed the drivers manually which worked, but when in the control panel and changing around custom 3D setting it will not apply it to the GPU. For example I tryed applying vertical synce to Halo 2 to solve screen tearing, because the game doesn't have an in game v/synce, but unfortunately will never apply because the frame rate is still close to 800fps Is this because this is a relatively new card and Nvidia hasn't supported the card yet, or is there something else I'm missing, and if any of you are confused by what I'm asking, I'll do my best to clarify if I can.
  6. As of right now, It looks like the programs I'm using are utilizing CUDA more, but where I'm at right now Isn't at all close to professional, but I am going to school for Game Art so, having something other than what the school provides us will probably be best for me. Like I said I'm unbiased as long as I know both will give me what I need.
  7. Awesome thanks! Yah I totally want something for gaming that will be significant upgrade from my Asus G75 laptop that I got about a year and half ago, but I also want something that will be able somewhat worthy of content creation with minimal crashes outside of software crashes, but yet isn't completely destroying my bank account.
  8. Ok, but I was asking what the difference between the two are. But thanks something to consider.
  9. I was wandering the difference between the two (Cuda and StreamProcessors), because in the near future I'm going to building my first rig, and I'm hoping to have something that's decent for gaming but also for content creation (blender, 3ds max, maya etc.) Being that I'm going to school for Game Art. I personally am leaning towards an Nvidia GTX 770 or 780, but I'm unbiased on cards and I know AMD has a good line up of cards that are worth looking at. Please let me know your thoughts and if you can poor as much information about these cards as you can (the more information the better), and please try to be as unbiased as possible as well. Thanks
  10. Sorry, I didn't see it when I searched the first time.
  11. Here's an article from the verge on how Microsoft is building their own cloud gaming service. It's rather interesting to see what they are doing, and I'm curious to see how far they can take it. http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/26/4774418/microsoft-demonstrates-halo-4-streaming-from-the-cloud-to-windows-and
  12. The better question you should be asking yourself is, why is 4k needed? 1080p honestly works just fine. Think about the average here. Most YouTube videos are only in 720p. That is going to look TINY on a 4k display, and having to stretch Video files is going to be stupid grainy. The only good it does is for games and multitasking. Which honestly gaming at 1080p is plenty fine and plenty clear.
  13. Yah for sure. I was thinking about the same thing. Still can't decide yet. haha
  14. Yah that's fine.....I should be more clear about this....I'm holding off for Haswell for now. because I'm planning my first build and i knew Haswell is coming. It's give me some time to save. XD
