    God. The wait for Kaby Lake and the 1080 Ti is going to be aids. I've been itching to build a new system but with both Kaby Lake and the 1080 Ti both 6~ months out, I just don't see the point of getting a 1080 right now. Gawd damnit. (For the record I'm fully aware there probably will be zero...

    Oh shit, good point. Synj I'd keep your documents folder on the SSD (or not, whatever suits you) but like he said, just right click on Pictures/Videos/Music/Documents in the start menu, and then type in the location of the new folder on the other drive. For example, my pictures location looks...

    Love mine. I have the plans for the desk still (if anyone is interested - it was fairly easy to build), the dimensions are perfect in my opinion.

    Synj your SSD is big enough to house your OS, a lot of games, Office (if you use it), main programs... you get the point. I have a 400GB drive as my boot drive (Windows), Autocad, Adobe Suite, several games, a bunch of other programs and I still have 300 GB free. If you want to make things...

    Ha! Negative! I built the desk myself. Going to tear it down and rebuild it eventually. Used paint that rubs off quite easily unfortunately. I have to have my arms resting on the desk because my shoulders are messed up and I can't sit how most people do without having extreme pain in my...

    I never thought I'd need 4 monitors and yet here we are... (pardon the mess, just added two more SSD's to the rig and preparing to move the computer to the next room). Side note: As someone who reads structural plans on a daily basis, 4K monitors = heaven.

    You can have mixed 144 or 60 monitors hooked up, they'll act independent of eachother. The 144 will run at 144 and the 60 will run at 60. Doesn't matter. I have a 144 Hz G-Sync monitor and 3 x 60 Hz non-Gsync monitors. Doesn't really matter. I am (admittedly) pretty biased and very much in...

    Do you mean 2 x 980 Ti's? The 1080 is already as powerful as 2 x 980s. I dunno man. An extra $60 (for 8 GB) for a 5-10% increase in FPS in their particular scenario (ie: 2 x 980 Ti's) definitely seems worth it to me?
  24. jeydax

    Desktop Computers

    ^ Right. So if you have a single card, its not worth it (for gaming at least). If you had one of the new 1080 cards, you'd see about a 30%~ FPS increase over a single 980 Ti so your FPS increase going from DDR4-3000 to 4000 would probably be a 3.5% increase vs. the 7% increase they got since...

    Sort of depends how you look at it. Reducing the graphics quality it seems like it should be just on the cusp for a lot of the new or really GPU taxing games. The criteria I'm targeting would be 60 FPS minimum, with the average a quite a bit above that - with a single card. The improvements...

    They have 27" 4k IPS G-Sync out now, they're just all 60 Hz or under. All I want is the 144 Hz, is that so much to ask?

    I just wish a 27"+ 4K IPS 144Hz G-Sync monitor would get released. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Probably won't be coming out any time soon though. Womp womp.

    I'm sorry but this is wrong. G-Sync is absolutely worth the extra money if you can afford it. I would 100% recommend it. I don't think I can explain it better than this: It is legit, I use it often.

    That seems strange. Did you do an upgrade to Windows 10 or a fresh install? Either way, (and I'm assuming you've done this but I have to ask) have you updated the drivers to the right version? Run something likeHWiNFOto get the exact wifi chip it is and get the right driver if you haven't...

    2nd this recommendation. I have the Asus N66U and the AC87. Both are awesome. My experience with Modem/Router combos has been underwhelming at best, I'd advise against it if you can purchase them separately. I don't have any empirical data to back it up, but I just have had shitty experiences...
