    Which VR headset to buy in 2020?

    Ya I'm not sure what's up with the Arstechnica review when they talked about the tracking. Feels identical to my Rift S. I'm getting farther in some beatsaber expert+ songs on my Quest2 over wifi virtual desktop on the 80mbps setting than I was with my Rift S. It's been great with the forced...

    Why no love for Low Profile?

    Hah nice, here's my ghetto 1080 with Noctua slim 92mm. I honestly just hated the sound of the Gigabyte fans, no other reason.

    Why no love for Low Profile?

    Ah I was under the assumption you were using the bigger ones, my bad. Have you checked out the velka5? It's 5.7L while holding full GPU and standard sfx PSU. Attached a shot of a good example using the blackridge cooler.

    Why no love for Low Profile?

    There's more itx cases that has bottom/side intake right next to the GPU so it's pretty easy to build a silent ITX setup if you have the right case. It's pretty satisfying too. Lian Li TU150 came out recently, only $110. Tempered glass, aluminum, airflow in all the right places, can hold big boy...

    Why no love for Low Profile?

    I wouldn't say hugely popular these days, no one mentions them much anymore in /sffpc. They still look good and I had one with first generation piledriver APU. Silverstone themselves have cases with updated designs utilizing pci-e ribbons. I rather pay the itx mobo premium and get a real video...

    Why no love for Low Profile?

    I think it's the fact that ITX market has grown a ton and many cases figured out setups that can use full height and full length cards in a small package. Node 202 example below.

    I want something new... 5700xt or 1080ti?

    I wouldn't do it. I did something similar going from gtx 1080 to rx 5700. I've had plenty of ATI/AMD cards in the past and figured people were just fluffing up the driver issues again. It was nice using the freesync over hdmi for my tv but took me a while to calibrate the colors to what I...

    Nvidia's Tom Peterson leaves for intel

    Ah thankfully someone mentioned Jim Keller. I was like ummm they got Jim Keller and Raja Koduri. Keller was lead architect for Athlon 64, helped Apple make a dominant ARM CPU, co-author of x86-64 instruction set, went back to AMD to help create Zen, VP for Tesla autopilot division. Dude has an...

    WOW! 55" Display with 120Hz / 1440p with excellent latency. nVidia and FreeSync

    I've been loving my 75 inch Samsung NU8000 I picked up on black Friday. Really excited to see what VRR looks like in action. Personally the biggest wow factor of my tv came a week later when I finally decided to try 1440p/120. I much prefer that right now than 4k gaming. I been playing Grid 2...

    PS5, Next Xbox Will Likely Have 8 to 12GB of RAM, Says Hellpoint Dev

    Monster hunter at 4k on my GTX 1080 makes me sad. I've been playing 1440p@120hz on my 75inch and that seems to be the sweet spot imo. Looks closer to 4k than it does to 1080p, keeps a little of the crispyness. Performance is night and day compared to 4k. I'm hoping they can hit that target...

    XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy OC+ Video Card Review @ [H]

    Ah damn I always forget that's the case for a lot of places. Thanks for the reminder, the 590 would make a lot more sense in that situation.

    XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy OC+ Video Card Review @ [H]

    I think the 1070, 1070ti, vega 56 would be much better investments for not much more. They have all been dipping under $350 and seem to be a pretty nice bump up in performance. The card itself looks good. I think the midrange is getting interesting with the dropping prices of the previous higher...

    Professional Fortnite Players Resurrect the 4:3 Resolution for a Competitive Edge

    I didn't realize 4:3 ever died for comp playing and just assumed a lot of people still did it. It gives me a headache whenever I tried it out on a friend's setup.

    Amazon Drivers Photographing Front Doors to Provide Proof of Delivery

    Ya they've been doing this for a while in Kansas City. We have a distribution center near by so they probably do it more frequently here since it's Amazon delivered for same day orders. It actually shows a real time map if they are about to drop your package off. It will say 5 deliveries in...

    Battlefield 1 Official Reveal Trailer

    I'm pretty excited for this. BF4 got polished into a really good game late in it's life. The updated netcode and high tick servers feel really good. Hopefully they will keep this trend going forward. Frostbite continued to impress me with Battlefront. Even though there wasn't much of a game...
