Honestly for gaming, your CPU isn't bottlenecking you at all. If you do any serious productivity stuff like heavy duty photoshop or video editing/encoding work then a CPU upgrade could be huge, but for gaming, not so much. Battlefield 4 is known as one of the more CPU-reliant games, and here...

Yeah, it's not so much the money that is put into repairs(which would almost never equal a years worth of new car payments), but the horrid inconvenience of having a non-functional car while it's in the shop. Unless you have backup vehicles available at all times, being without a car for more...

On a side note, theres A Freddy's opening up near my house next month, can't wait. They basically taste like Steak & Shake burgers but with better fries and more ice cream choices. Just what I needed half a mile from my house... Freddys Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

Love Hebrew National, those are the only hotdogs I'll buy at the grocery store(but I still don't buy them often) We were babysitting my nephews a while back and I knew that they ate a lot of hotdogs(ages 8 and 4), so I picked some up at the store to be an easy dinner. Damn kids wouldn't eat...

Thanks, I'll give that a try

Yeah, I have the most recent bios update, from April '13 I think it is, but there hasn't been a bios update released by ASRock since Windows 8.1 upgrade came out, I wonder if that could maybe be an issue that might be fixed down the road. I didn't do any benchmarks under just plain Win 8, I...

whoops, didnt realize that $25 was for Amazon student member only, sorry. Its still a hell of a device for $35

Well, a 6950 to a 770 is a BIG upgrade...I couldn't find a benchmark directly comparing the two since they are a couple generations apart, but the performance of a 6950 is real close to a 7850, and here is a 7850 vs a 770 AnandTech | Bench - GPU13 The only thing is, if you are upgrading to...

No, 1440 performance is going to take a significant hit, yeah 4GB would probably help mitigate that a bit in some games, but you're going to take a hit regardless of RAM. I would guess that your would see your FPS drop anywhere from 25-33% depending on the exact game, settings, etc. So if...

Yeah I benchmarked everything across the 1200p monitor to keep comparisons even(the drop from 85 to 66). Maybe it is possible I didn't have the hair tressFX on the first time around, but I'm pretty sure I did. I'm going to just chalk it up to my weird issue of having to run it in a fullscreen...

They do, for now... Rumors have been circulating for a year or two that Sony wants to drop Android and go with their own proprietary OS for their phones, possibly a version of VITA OS Sony has also released Windows phones in the past too

Well, decide on the monitor first. If you are definitely keeping your monitor, save yourself $50-$100 or so on the video card and just get a 2GB 770. 1920x1200 won't push a card beyond 2GB. If you think you want to go up to a 2560x1440 monitor then yeah, going over 2GB could be beneficial...

An elite FCS coach could work. The guys that succeed at that level are doing so because they are out-coaching their opponents, not because they are outrecruiting them. A big worry about FCS coaches is that they don't have those recruiting ties that a lot of guys that have spent their entire...

bah double post

There is ZERO chance of Texas getting a current NFL coach that isn't on the verge of being fired(neither Harbaugh is an option). Coaches don't go back to college unless they are failing in the NFL. Saban was 6-10 the season before he left the Dolphins. I'm betting you would be hard pressed...

Finally beat the game a couple days ago. Amazing game, but the ending seemed very rushed through the last few storyline missions

The main problem with Texas is that they just aren't the greatest program historically(but they think they are), they just have a TON of money right now. It's like they're the Los Angeles Dodgers and they think they are the Yankees. Yes, it's still a great job and having all of those financial...

more like "Token offense award", 2 RBs have won it too in the last 8 years. Its ridiculous that a defense-only player has no shot at winning the Heisman. Suh should have won it going away a few years ago.

Fresh install. I don't think I've done an OS upgrade over another OS since Windows 3.1(and that was a mistake, I learned my lesson)

Do we really need 800 Heisman voters? Jesus Christ thats a bit ridiculous

Anyone have any thoughts on gaming on Windows 8, is it possible that some games just don't work well with it? I upgraded from Win 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 pro last night, and while most of the benchmarks I ran(Unigen Valley/Heaven, Bioshock Infinite) performed the same, if not slightly better...

Must be seasonal, I haven't seen that one yet, but I want it.

I hear Lane Kiffin is available

I would say so, only because of the unique flavors that Andys comes up with, I think they have more variety and are more creative than Ted Drews, but the basic frozen custard is probably on par at both, both are damn good. Like the Key lime pie mentioned above, it isn't just flavors added to...

You aren't hearing your processor, they're silent, but you might be hearing the heatsink fan revving up, or possibly mechanical hard drive access. And under Windows 7 at least, your processor going back and forth from 0 to 10% usage constantly is pretty normal. With all the shit that's part...

Yep, when I first got my 3GB video card last year, I tested out some benchmarks spanned across both of my monitors, so total of 3840x1200 resolution, and the card was hitting around 2.1-2.2GB of memory used on the various logging utilities I was running to check it.

Asus GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC review ??" best performance, dead silent [1179] | Video card reviews #ReviewStudio.net I found their benchmarks interesting, in that they did them all at 1920x1200

If I were them and released those games, I'd make it SteamOS exclusive for the first month.

Everytime I drive through Springfield(mother-in-law lives at Table Rock Lake/Kimberling City) I have to stop at Andys. Best goddamned frozen custard on Earth. The key lime pie concrete is better than sex.

Springfield or Joplin? For your sake, I hope Springfield.

Thats pretty good. I was right about that on my build last year, ASRock mobo for $89, i5 3570k for $160, 3GB 660Ti for $320.
