@Ciggavelli question I got quite 29 LG free sync monitor do you think it would work as a dual screen or triple screen?

Dual screen for work, yes. Dual screen for gaming, no (you'll have a split right in the middle of your setup, which would be terrible for gaming)

I used to be the biggest proponent of 3 screen gaming, but it's become such a hassle now, and you gotta have a monster setup. I say get an ultrawide 3440x1440p screen and just go with that. My 34" is perfect. You still need 2 high end GPUs to get all ultra, 60fps, but it is definitely manageable. I'm done with 3 screen gaming. Ultrawide is were it's at. Since my shyt is 34" I still get the peripheral advantage too. As somebody that was a cheer leader for 3 screen gaming for half a decade, I'm glad to be out of it. Ultrawide 1440p is where it's at. More games support it, there's no black bars in you field of view and it takes less horsepower (it's 3K, instead of 6K if you go 1440p).

I take it you don't have any issue with the refresh rate?

I wanted that widescreen monitor but I was nnervous about getting a non-Gsync monitor.

I've never used a Gysnce monitor, but my shyt is 60hz, and I hit 60 with nearly every game, all ultra. So, it's buttery smooth.

Makes sense

Seh brehs, if this violates rules then forgive me for my ignance

but where can I find free antivirus/firewall? Besides standard Microsoft Security Essentials.
Pass the Mustard

 

[Ciggavelli]

You don't even have to go illegal. Get AVG

Avast Free Antivirus

Malware Bytes is also free and will scan your shyt and find problems.

I use the highest level of McAfee, but I go to a lot of shady sites to download albums.

You can get by for free if you use those two programs and use common sense. NoScript for FF is also amazing (I use it daily).

I haven't had a virus in years

 

[Rice N Beans]

I use ESET with a key injector.

I use nsane.down - software, as it should be for most essential stuff.

No, wait for the new Nvidia mobile GPUs. A thousand dollar laptop probably has a shyt GPU in it anyway. You're looking at like 2Gs for a good one. I'd hold off a bit. A new laptop with a 1080m/1070m in it would be the shyt though. It's just a matter of time before they release it
