    It happened to me way too much when playing BF3 on Windows 7 even with 2GB cards. The fix is just using Windows 8, the desktop in windows 7 still runs at dx9.

    Because you'd be most likely cpu bound in your other games therefore the gpu load would be drastically lower.

    With that many fans, your room temperature must be -20°C. You should put them next to an H100i.
    Speaking of fans, I realised yesterday that I have an AC unit that is really great. I've only lived in this apartment since early April.. Oh well. Never been in a house with an AC unit before, it makes me feel oddly special. In the short school bus type of way.

    And off-topic, but what does the acronym "smh" mean? I've assumed it meant "somehow", but it just doesn't seem to fit the contexts, and a needless shortening.

    I'll drive up to Illinois to indulge if it's any good. I've been meaning to look more into home brewing. I'm subbed to the Homebrewing subreddit, and my Chem professor does, so huh... Seems like a fitting hobby for tinkerers and stuff. What are you making?

    It's a 100% Columbus hop-based Rye IPA. No malt though, however some priming sugar will go into all of the bottles. It's very active this morning, I can happily say!

    The Rye IPA choice was the voted for choice recipe. (This was a successful Kickstart campaign!)

    China seems to be looking at Microsoft, rumors are China might ban Windows 8, poor China that just seems so horrible! ...... >. >

    Okay small audio problem. I woke up yesterday noticing my right audio speaker was not working. So I tested things and my right speaker is fine but I am guessing my Y cable might just be broken. So I have another cable I can use which is a aux cable and I just switch it to using that and it seems fine, but is there any difference from a Y(right/left) cable and a aux cable? Is their any difference in the sound? I kinda feel like this is a stupid question.

    Wow that's a crazy awesome view, I have never known what it's like to live in a city like that :O

    Yeah we need to hire a cable guy to do our house properly with cat6 and pull some speaker wires through the walls/ceiling. Wish I could do this stuff on my own but I don't want to end up causing unnecessary damage, best left to professionals

    The jealousy is sufficiently strong with this one.

    Sadly I don't do programming. :/ I'm more hardware-focused. >_<

    Ugh...

    Does anyone get into arguments about computer hardware on non-computer forums and just want to murder everyone there? I got into it on /r/osugame, where they were saying it would be dumb to buy a wireless mouse because of the latency, but they completely ignored the fact that the VAST majority of players play with wireless pens on their tablets... And some guy had the audacity to bring up a monitor's refresh rate and the delay it adds, but offered no alternatives, and rejected my claim that it was generally a constant across the board. (I made it very clear that response times and refresh rates would have an influence, but there would always be delay from the monitor and it's something people would have to live with.) He then went on to tell me he felt an enormous difference when he played with uncapped fps (Which is true, but only for certain games; specifically Unreal Engine games.) and that he felt the difference even when he turned Aero off. (If he's running on a potato this may make sense.) Yet I got downvoted into oblivion.


    I've been playing competitive games for years now. I've been active in Computer-related communities for well over 5 years. I'm not saying my arguments are infallible, but to blatantly ignore what I'm saying still irritates me.
