Quick tip for Sweetfx users:

:snoop: I just realized why I couldn't really tell if the SMAA from Sweetfx was working or not. Apparently the lumasharpen feature sharpens the antialiased edges which in turn makes the image look sharp and cripsy, but then reintroduces said jaggies. I realized it last night while trying BF3 and I downloaded someone's preset and noticed they had their lumasharpen settings lower than what i usually use and then when I went in game the game looked considerably smoother. I'm going to enjoy this even more in native 1080P glory today. I was :mad: when I realized BBuy was closed lol. Target has HORRIBLE TV's there man. Apex??, Element?? :what: ?

Just got the never settle code for Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite for $43 on eBay. beats paying $60 for just Bioshock. i wish i would have thought of this before i paid $45 for Tomb Raider alone.

For all my windows 8 desktop users, please consider copping the logitech Magic Touchpad. It brings the gestures to you on the pad which also functions as a mouse. Really allows you to appreciate the beauty and fluidity that is windows 8.

You have a tablet right?... Hell you have a Note 2.

You can download Splashtop to your phone and run it on your PC and your Note 2 can do that for you, while mirroring your desktop when you're not by it.

I've done this with an HP TouchPad and my EVOLTE. Full Windows 8 gestures and everything.

Damn, you won. @Liquid needs to hit me with a Tomb Raider deal before I go scavenging. Or I may just have to temporarily buy an AMD card for both Tomb Raider and Bioshock. :scheme:

if you got a Microcenter by you you can buy a card there then return it and they won't care about the code.

i got 3 codes for Assassin's Creed 3 that way. i talked the chick at the computer department into giving me 2 codes since they ran out of Borderlands 2 and gave one of them away on here and redeemed the other one then i returned the 660 i bought and got a 670 and asked for another code i still have somewhere.

The code or at least the Nvidia code was just on a slip of paper they hand you when you buy the card. There's no paper trail on you having it. AMD might be putting them in the boxes but I doubt it. When they run out of slips the while supplies last part ends.

:ohlawd: 1080P glory!!! I just came back from Worstbuy and I almost went with the Sharp but then I noticed a 39" Toshiba with a very thin bezel for $10 cheaper. I copped that instantly and now I hooked it up, calibrated the color, brightness etc and wow what a difference. I haven't even tried a game yet and I'm amazed at how CLEAR the screen looks.

:ahh:

I thought y'all was overestimating the difference but damn.

Did you look that tv up at all? You should never let price be the ultimate dictator of a major purchase. I mean it will factor but your aim should be the best you can get for the money.
