    I doubt the ~800 subscribers to r/steam plus lurkers could make the results so skewed. Inside job at valve after they saw purple team owning for two days imo.

    I honestly like the reference blower coolers on the 780s. They might run slightly warmer in single configs but your case temp will be lower and they are better if you are thinking SLi down the road (blowers are quieter too). That 860 should be enough power for dual 780ti if that's why he has...

    Jesus, I didn't know that - you guys are getting fucked. But yeah, as joeboo says, at idle you will not really see that much power savings overall. You might see 15% power saving a full load though. Made me want to go look mine up, I was a bit off. It's 8.5? when using less than 1000 kWh...

    What are you paying per kWh? Even if you were running a monster PC that pulled 350 watts average for 24 hours a day you would have to pay ~20 cents per kWh to add $50 to your electric bill. Is it really that high in cali? Seems crazy, I think I pay something like 7 cents per kWh. Have you...

    Pretty big difference between PS4 textures and PC textures. The PS4 isn't even running "ultra" with 8GB of unified vram.

    You can't run ultra textures on a 3GB card and I'm sorry spronk but medium textures look like ps3 shit. I'd wait and see if they patch it, but buy the SSD if you need one.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Cyclops is boring to the max but the min/maxer in me had to max him out. Giving any hero an xp bonus synergy was such a bad idea. Kind of like how learning skills were in Eve Online, if you didn't do them first you felt bad.

    As far as the color goes, what you are probably disappointed with is the anti-glare coating that Dell puts on a lot of their monitors. If you are coming from a glossy monitor everything would look a bit muted / grainy.

    IIRC you can't install XBMC on a XBox 360. XBMC was originally made for the hacked gen 1 Xbox. No one runs it on an xbox anymore but the name just stuck.

    SLI 760sare not much faster than asingle 780which like I said struggles to run some current games at max. Maybe your 660Ti(s) are just that much faster butit doesn't seem that way. Maybe the SLi and twice the GPU ram is letting you run max settings where my single 780 cannot.

    SLI 770s might do it but not 760s. Buddy at work just got a second 760 and it only gets like a %10 performance gain over a single 780.

    On all the ones I've seen you don't control from your computer but rather the receiver with a TV interface.

    I have a 1440p and the same specs (2600k & GTX 780) and 1440 is no fucking joke to run. To clarify, you have the power to run current games at high but not max settings at 35-45 fps. Example, lastest batman will run at 35-40ish fps at max settings, AC4 will spend most of the time running at 30...
