    Are you hopping into PalWorld?

    I'm bringing a different perspective here, and this is something Gaming Inc. in general knows very well how to use (ask Blizzard, EA, etc): *Gambling* I'm a FH5 fan, and the "Wheel Spin" is always a thrill :P Usually a disappointing one, getting only the damn Green items! So, every time you...

    how much gold is in our average motherboard

    A friend used to work for a big computer recycler in Toronto, Canada. He told me all PCBs scrapped there (no exception) went in big containers straight to China. To process this material in large scale, seems to be VERY unfriendly for nature: Pollution going left and right to air, rivers and...

    What monitor refresh rate do you game at?

    I will have to say you need to experiment yourself to believe. Try out a game you used to play @60Hz on a 120Hz monitor.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3 GB

    Great card. OC numbers are magic!! But im not replacing my GTX670 (@ 1080p) until I get a 4K screen. 290X & 780Ti imo still aren't a perfect fit @ 4K res... I bet late 2014/2015 will be the boom for ultra resolution.

    What monitor refresh rate do you game at?

    Thanks Sir! Yes, I believe you are right here, unless the game is out of the 3D Vision list/profile of compatible games.

    What monitor refresh rate do you game at?

    I'm not an expert here but for what I understand refresh rate does not interfere in your GPU resources utilization unless you are playing a Game in 3D mode. Like "nvidia 3d vision", if you are using it, your Frame rate will fall around 50% 'cause your Graphics Card will simulate 2x 60Hz in...

    What monitor refresh rate do you game at?

    I agree with Aithos and Qubit. When I did change my 1080p 60Hz to a 3D 1080p 120Hz, in 2011 I was playing Borderlands 2 a lot and I simply couldn't believe how smooth this game got with the new 120Hz monitor. Also for racing games is way better @ 120Hz

    AMD Radeon R9 290X 4 GB

    Great review boss, thanks! I dunno why but looking at the gpu core brought me memories of the R600 (also a hot card) and same 512 bit wide mem.
