    I had the same problem with v2004 and 360 controllers. This fix worked: 2004 Windows Update - How to install drivers for Xbox 360 chinese wireless receiver (Code 28)

    r9 290(x) vs 280x

    I would advise against getting a reference 290X. They are a card that runs very hot, so the reference cooler is way too noisy as it tries to cope with the heat.

    PC Headphone Advice

    Generally gaming headsets are designed for FPS gaming, so they are very low on bass so that you can hear directional footsteps very well. This means they are pretty poor for watching movies and listening to music. Headsets either use virtual surround (just one driver in each side) or a number of...

    Choose display for gaming. 144hz 1 ms

    That's just my opinion. Lack of display smoothness in PC games really annoys me, so when a groundbreaking technology is released that goes a long way to eliminating the problem I find it impossible to ignore. If you had a Nvidia card, I would be highly recommending spending the extra on a G-Sync...

    Choose display for gaming. 144hz 1 ms

    I think now is the wrong time to be buying displays for gaming. G-sync and Freesync sound like they are a massive step forward in the right direction, so until the new AMD cards and Freesync have hit the market I would not be buying anything. Unfortunately it looks like Freesync will not be...

    Bonus from work. New GPU/monitor or other?

    With my setup, i use Nvidia surround with 40 pixel bezel correction, so 5840x1080. Monitors are overclocked slightly to 66Hz. I use Msi Afterburner as a frame limiter and set it to 77. This almost completely eliminates frame tearing without having to run vsync on. Well worth making a custom...

    Out of touch need advice on upgrade

    1. Nvidia 980 2. AMD 380/380X is coming Q2, so sometime after march, but no official word on the top end 390/390X yet. Spec's for the 380 look exciting, could be very good price/performance at the expense of heat and power. Nvidia's next release is the Titan X, but it will probably be a...

    Needing a large display for a racing setup

    I've yet to use a 34" ultra-wide, but I still don't think they will match up to triples and for the cost of the 1440p versions you can afford 3 good 27" monitors. The advantage would be less GPU power required (although most racing games are not that hard on your GPU). Does anybody know about...

    Needing a large display for a racing setup

    This is my current setup, 3x LG 27" 1920x1080 IPS screens running at 5480x1080 @ 66Hz. Fanatec CSR Elite wheel, CS pedals (inverted) and CS shifter. Rig and monitor stand are home made. Custom handbrake removed for mk2 version in the works at the moment and I have a second wheel PCB awaiting to...

    Needing a large display for a racing setup

    For racing games, there really is nothing to rival triple screens ... other than triple projectors. You get such a better sense of speed and immersion with side monitors. Consoles are pretty rubbish though, unless you get 3 of them for triples but very few games support that. Do you have a...
