    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    @iannis Huh, I probably should have tried this out before I spent $700 on it. I feel like the width is great, but the height is just 25% too low. Maybe I'm just thinking that ultra wide screen would get me the kind of experience that VR got me. I'll have to see how it looks after playing a game...

    Thinking about buying this for my kid for his 4 year old birthday: Looks like the best combo of cheap + traditional controller + able to be set to low speed + reasonably durable.

    I just picked up a 1080 ti and a new ultra wide monitor. Each were about $700. I'm looking to match that to invest in a new $1400 ship in Star Citizen, what should I get?

    Won a 1080ti on ebay, will arrive the same day my wife's C-Section is scheduled. What's the best way to break it to my wife that I won't be able to make it?

    The lottery that comes with buying new equipment cracks me up. It's kind of how I know that I'm buying cutting edge hardware when you just roll the dice buying it.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Yeah I could see myself getting my monitor, installing it, loading up whatever game and thinking, "Huh, I probably should've tried this out before I spent $700 on it.". Then again I can remember the first time using my current 24" monitor I got ten years ago and being blown away at the...

    Just bought that alienware monitor from the above link. It's $200 cheaper than anywhere else, which makes me a little worried!!! Now to get a 1080ti... @brekk would you say there is a specific maker (asus, evga, gigabyte etc) that I should target for? Or are they all pretty much the same? Also...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Yeah that's one of the things I'm debating since it seems like you have to choose between 4k or 100/144hz refresh rate, and i've never really gamed on either (though 4k looks great on my TV when I tried it)

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    That's on my list, but the problems I have with that much wide monitor is that 80% of the information from the world is in the center 50% of the screen. That left and right 20% of your screen is so warped that it's only providing an extra 5% of usable field of view. And for that monitor...

    What's your opinion on the added value of the monitor being curved? Right now I'm still planning on picking out a handful of monitors I like, then seeing what kind of deals I can get talked into this weekend.

    So I'm thinking about getting a new monitor + video card monitors I'm considering: And I'm leaning toward a new or used 1080 ti. Should I expect an opportunity to cheaply buy either of these things in the holiday season?

    I sorted the master list of torrents by leech count and ended up with a 3.7GB office install. We'll see how it does overnight! I remember dropping out of IPT before because suddenly I couldn't seed anymore. I never figured out if it was something on my end or something AT&T is doing.

    Yes. I haven't played since the very first tech demo they let buyers in on, but there's a playable game right now. And they're adding to that game.

    This movie is a cinematic masterpiece. Tom Hardy playing tom wiseau playing eddie brock make every delivered line dynamite. My only complaint is that they shouldv made this an r rated tragedy where edddie brock still saves the world, but loses himself in the symbiote and kills everyone in the...
