    My monitor strategy

    Interesting ideas thanks. I guess I had a different experience with VR. I've had about twelve hours of play time with the Occulus Rift and about two hours with the Vive and it was a complete game changer for me. So much so that I can't enjoy my current non-VR gaming. I like the 1440 idea. 1080...

    My monitor strategy

    I have a Samsung triple display which is starting to get a little long in the tooth and not 4K. I plan on buying both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift for gaming but I want a really nice, large display for everything else. I have a very large curved OLED TV in my bedroom and I just have to...

    Gaming build for <$2.5k (I finally have money)

    Nice build... I'm looking at something similar. One difference is the video card. Isn't the 980 ti nearly a Titan X? I was thinking of the 980 ti and spend on other parts of the build.

    Jet.com announced free membership today

    Sort of right. They are buying from other sellers and eating the extra shipping charge. If they see enough traffic on an item, they source it themselves. You likely picked items they don't stock yet but you "voted" to have them stock it. One thing most interesting to me is how people are so...

    Jet.com announced free membership today

    If it's worth the hassle to you, you can email help@jet.com with the lower price and they will address it. I found a power supply on amazon for cheaper and emailed them and got back a "We take pricing very seriously" response and an updated price about an hour later.

    Jet.com announced free membership today

    Sort of like getting Amazon Prime for free. Shipping is free for items over $35. CEO just blogged about it: https://medium.com/@marclore/jet-for-all-e18eb8dd04e3 I put together an order for my new VR PC (oculus and vive) with a 980ti and an Asus X99-a which seemed to price beat the...

    EVGA GTX 980 Ti as low as ~$590 @ Jet.com

    Like what? I've had nothing but great experiences with Jet.com. I trust them (the most well-funded start-up in over a decade) over anything Slickdeals has to say.

    WCG Christmas Race 2012

    I remember about a decade ago someone getting canned for using a cluster of servers to run distributed.net during off hours. Reading accounts of the incident, I thought the employer was tremendously unfair and ignorant. It's likely there was other circumstances for booting this guy but it gave...

    WCG Christmas Race 2012

    If I look at the tasks in BOINC manager, it appears both GPUs are being used. In the task list I see two HCC tasks each using a GPU. 12/13/2012 4:01:45 PM | | NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 680 (driver version 310.70, CUDA version 5.0, compute capability 3.0, 4096MB, 8378940MB available, 3252...

    WCG Christmas Race 2012

    Thanks Gilthanis. I have the Berkeley one up and running. How do I join the HardOCP team though? It seems to have a whole different set of teams.

    WCG Christmas Race 2012

    Question: can I use the official BOINC client or do I have to use the IBM one to join the team? I ask because I have no problems getting the official one to run but have some troubles installing the linked on here in Windows 8. Thanks!
