Actually that's not bad considering I got my refund already. The game is still playable on my Steam for some reason.

I don't. It's just a TV stand. I would have to seteup my room all over to have PC desktop format and I don't feel likee doing that.

It might be worth it honestly. In terms of usability that seems like a nightmare. I'm not really a fan of traditional computer desks with the keyboard trays. If you're into it a flat surface like a table that could keep your PC straight and organize the stuff on your left and right to sit with it like it currently is now. And if you enjoy having your monitor at that height you could take that top piece off it looks like and port it over to the new desk.

Well I just copped an Acer 1440P 27inch widescreen monitor for testing purposes... So far it seems alright. I was a little worried at first like "eehh" but then I changed it to displayport and it lookeed MUCH clearer. I had the hdmi going into my receiver which only supports 1080P.

Is there anyway I can have my sound still come out my surround sound using the hdmi to the receiver and video as display port?

I haven't tried a game yet but as far as screen real estate, it's much more space.

1080P on this monitor

1440P

Holy fukk


Games look GUUUUUD at 1440P my gawd. I just tried Larry Raider and that shyt looks crispy and clean oh my. What's better is the game still runs at 60fps even on ultra settings at this resolution for me. Witcher 3 as well. The details just pop out like azz on a twerk video .

i'm still on that 1080 wave.
is 1440 really that big a jump that i should consider upgrading?

@Liquid and @itsyoung!!


What are your thoughts on this??


Has integrated really come this far?

Still cant recommend integrated over a dedicated GPU

but if you are on a budget
also is that integrated from the processor or the motherboard ?

edit: looks like its from intels 4th generation chips, if you are on a budget you more than likely wont have enough to purchase these processors anyway

if you are gaming then you should have a dedicated GPU card.
that footage was in a closed environment and not many NPC's.

if you tried to run an integrated GPU in today's open world environments then you would be getting your buildings crushed in short order.

so integrated GPU's are now on par with next gen consoles?
just gotta lower the resolution and bring down some settings.

I think AMD apu chips have faster integrated graphics than Intel.

so if you are trying to go the cheap route... The best bet would be to get a low end i5 with a $100 dedicated gpu. That will run you about $300, then another $200-$250 to make a decent every level gaming pc

I applaud Intel and their effort though. I think they felt salty that AMD was able to secure the ps4 and Xbox one platform because of the APU work they have done

So is a AMD A10 APU still a better option for gaming than a Intel CPU with a integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics?

What display are you rocking now?? Look at my pictures above, that's much more screen space between the two. I think it looks fantastic. Hell, even my peformance seems to be the same.

if you are really "gaming" then you should not consider doing so without a dedicated card....lol at reading the old posts.

everything looks smaller at the higher res.
on my 1080 screen i often zoom in on the page to 125% just to make reading easier.

i always have thecoli at 125% zoom.

@daze23

I ain't trying to go all out. I'm fine gaming on a laptop at 720p.
