Theory Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Just saw you're computer description, we have the same Tower L3OUGH, the almighty NZXT H440.
Garacesh Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 NZXT H440. Bah. Stupid shapeless square case. No movement to it. Looks boring. I prefer my NZXT Phantom 530 Although I have had my eye on the Thermaltake The Tower 900 which is in the same breed of vanity case, but looks much nicer
L3OUGH Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I do love my case, it looks the bomb. I have the matt black and red one, my build is red themed with red LED Corsair fans on the H100 and I have a NZXT Hue+ with 3 LED strips in there. But I haven't been able to get a stable OC on the CPU since building into this case. Just gets way to hot and crashes the machine. But other than that, yeah the awesome looking H440
L3OUGH Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 The lights in the picture were in Rainbow mode here hence why it doesn't look overly red. 1
Tesla Posted April 27, 2017 Author Posted April 27, 2017 Need to get an external HDD for my xbox when i get paid, already only have 40GB free, and with the monthly games thing and still Halo 5 to install, I'm gonna be out of room! Anyway........Not much talk of games going on... Liking the new GTA Top down racing mode...
L3OUGH Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Nothing wrong with talking about the things we use for gaming in the 'Gaming Chat' thread. But I'm enjoying the new Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 despite the bad reviews it got.

Anyway........Not much talk of games going on... Liking the new GTA Top down racing mode... I really wish you could upgrade the internal drive on the xbox one the stock drive is a slow pos and even 1tb is easy to fill ive now got a 750gb ssd as my default storage but Id imagine would get a lot more benefit if it was the main drive and say a 2tb external drive for old stuff im not currently playing that said I don't think ive used my xbox one much this year bar 90 mins of ff15 before giving up o it I think ive played more switch or even ps4 (I think ive played persona5 on my ps4 more than every other game combined) Edited April 27, 2017 by sted

By all means, i'm not telling anyone off, i'm just aware that i've had to change this thread title once already recently as it veered in a slightly different direction..

ICTDirect_Dave Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Pre-loaded Dawn of War 3 last night after picking it up on Cdkeys for a mere £30. Looking forward to cleansing the Xenos tonight!

CDKeys have been really smashing out the good deals, I bought the Season Pass edition of Ghost Warrior 3 (Full game + Season Pass) for £22?!?!
Theory Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 In regards to PC, I'm looking to buy a new Gaming Monitor, anybody got any recommendations:confused:
Garacesh Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) In regards to PC, I'm looking to buy a new Gaming Monitor, anybody got any recommendations:confused: Don't buy G-Sync, buy FreeSync (he says with a G-Sync monitor) My housemate just bought the equivalent of my monitor, but with AMD's FreeSync, which doesn't carry a hefty NVIDIA tax surplus charge for the G-Sync module. It's every bit as good, responsive, etc as mine is. FreeSync is definitely on-par with G-Sync now. With VEGA being soon(ish) it's probably better for you to buy a FreeSync monitor now (even if you have an NVIDIA GPU atm) and then buy AMD cards in future. I'm basically stuck with buying more-expensive NVIDIA GPU's now because I shelled out the extra dosh on G-Sync. The cost of buying a new AMD GPU + FreeSync monitor is equal-to-or-greater-than the cost of buying a new NVIDIA GPU. But with 144hz+, some kind of frame synchronisation technology is definitely required. Edited April 28, 2017 by Garacesh
Theory Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I was actually planning on buying the AMD Vega once its released, I heard it might be released this quarter.
JJonas Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 The Xbox Scorpio will support FreeSync Project Scorpio supports FreeSync and next-gen HDMI • Eurogamer.net
Garacesh Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Definitely FreeSync then. It's cheaper and just as good. (Plus technically it supports more than AMD GPU's but I don't think anything else major has adopted it yet, it's still more likely than G-Sync to be used on other products in the future.. Consoles are AMD aren't they? Do they use it? Ninja'd by @JJonas) After having a 144Hz monitor for nearly two years now, I couldn't go back to 60. People say FPS beyond 60 is negligible, but trust me when I say I know when it drops to below 90. I can see it. It's jarring. 1440p is less important, admittedly. 1080p at 144Hz will be perfectly fine for most people. You're looking at <£150 for a 1080p 144Hz FreeSync and <£300 for a 1440p 144Hz FreeSync. 1
Theory Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) @Garacesh sort of like https://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-G2460PF-Response-Adustable-Speakers/dp/B01BV1XBEI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1493374140&sr=8-7&keywords=1080p+144hz+monitor ? *Keeping in mind the main games I play are Overwatch, CSGO & World of Warcraft. *But I also play games like BioShock and Skyrim from time to time.

Arreks Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Only reason I haven't gone for a 144hz monitor yet is because I can rarely match the fps even with a 980ti and i7 - it would still reduce tearing etc but is that worth the 250 odd quid? ehhhh.

I've never used an AOC personally, but something like that ought to do you just fine, yeah. Any competitive online game will see you benefit from a higher refresh rate, once you get used to it. More frames to see and react with. CSGO and Overwatch you'll probably notice a benefit, WoW less so. Only reason I haven't gone for a 144hz monitor yet is because I can rarely match the fps even with a 980ti and i7 - it would still reduce tearing etc but is that worth the 250 odd quid? ehhhh. My i5 and 980Ti gets 120FPS in Overwatch pretty easily.
Arreks Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I'm using AOC at the moment, no issues! pretty underrated brand I think. Ah, well I'm not really playing anything competitive like that atm. Usually RPG games with Reshade etc.
Theory Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I play CSGO and Overwatch competitively, and I guess I play WoW Hardcore/Comp in PvP. Edited April 28, 2017 by Theory
