i don't know now i'm thinking of switching to a GTX 780 or the Ti depending on the price then just moving this 670 to my HTPC. Nvidia has g-sync and shadowplay.

It's to your benefit to wait it out. Price drops are coming and non reference 290x's are as well. People are getting some pretty impressive scores in benchmarks with the 290x's even with the shytty cooler. I have a feeling they are going to be monsters under water or with non reference cooling.

With that said, to me its more than just how much FPS a card can throw on the screen or price/perf.. Things like physx, sli, the upcoming gsync and now shadowplay are all important to me so I'll go Nvidia until AMD lures me in with their own set of extra features. Just depends on what's important to you.

So Shadow Play drivers leaked last night. This shyt is really like a DVR and the best part is there is little to no performance hit while its doing its thing, :banderas:

Only thing I don't like is that the videos are a lot crisper on my PC than on Youtube, :beli:



I would ask where they leaked, but I can wait until tomorrow. sounds great though. if there's no big performance hit, I'll probably keep it running most of the time

so is there a bootlegging of pc games or do u have to buy it legit?
You could do both. I usually buy most of my games but certain games that i'm on the fence about I pirate and if I really like it I cop it. If there wasn't no way to pirate it I'd just skip it.

Y'all ever use that cdsharekey site? Ton of peeps tell me it's legit but it still seems too good to be true. Arkham Origins for just over 20?

I used one of those, not that site, back in the day and got screwed. I don't recommend it.

:merchant: My GPU temps shot up to 101 degrees while playing Batman. :wtf: Upping the fan speed is ridiculously loud.

I have the same problem on mys system with a variety of games. I have an afterburner curve that is outrageous and I put my PCI fan to like 80% to stay below 80C :dead:

I bought a headset to fix that problem :dead:

I think it's a bug I looked it up and people say it happens when you alt tab out the game which is what I did because the game was running fine the past couple of days.

ah. I feel you. fukk all that. Dude i trust vouched for the site though.


if you talking about those "buy cd keys here for cheap or some shyt sites" (i recall a few from back then) they legit stuff. i think the bad ones like what @Ciggavelli was talking about was scams or you get the key and somehow the sellers get the key banned or something fishy like that
