The usual advice here would be to try swapping out various combinations of memory modules to see if you can isolate the bad one. But why did you try building a computer with only one memory module? You didn't take advice from …
Thanks for the posts everyone. So it was the same deal again tonight. Let me clarify and I will update the OP as well. It turns out I actually do have to swap the RAM slot to get it to boot (and post) normally. I got it confused in my OP. So to reit…
Thanks for the replies. I did some quick research before checking back here and I had already decided to put FFXIV and ESO on the list. In fact FFXIV came up a lot in terms of AAA value for a sub. While I am enjoying SWL right now, I may have to giv…
Put simply I want a bigger display but I want to avoid staying at the same resolution. I've read that at a typical 2-3 foot desktop PC gaming distance a 1080P display quality "peaks" at 27" and going larger from that close will start to look worse. …
Thanks for the informative article and heads up on the price hike. I just picked up the season pass at Green Man Gaming for $24 with their ongoing 20% off voucher. I suggest anyone who likes F4 and is interested in the DLC do the same before March 1…
I don't know how I originally missed D1 as I have been playing PC RPGs since the 80s, but I was introduced to D1 in 2001 by a fellow gamer friend. It wasn't long (days) before I went out and bought the D2 battle chest at my local Best Buy. If anyone…

The game always sounds great to me, on paper. For some reason every time I try playing it I just can't get fully into it. Only last a short time before I move on. No idea why. I usually love games like this. I swear one day I w…

$80-$120 for a pc game is unjustified at this point. I'll wait for the Steam sale.
I paid $46 and change for my copy of F4. I buy all my Steam games exclusively through GMG (when available) with their site wide 20% off coup…

I actually think I am one of the few people who could not really get into The Witcher 3. I loved the first one but the second and third one just....eh. Not sure what it is
I wanted to lik…

I could never get into this show. Like MMO's there are a ton of Science Fiction shows out now a days so my plate is full. Still, I do miss some old ones, Battlestar galatica, Babylon 5...
No... there aren't many sci…
Well I got my answer. If there is a bottleneck (and there probably is) I thankfully do not notice it. I went from Firestrike 2647 to 8271 but more importantly I went from Witcher 3 low settings 25-30 FPS to ultra holding 60 FPS with VSync on. Maybe …
Yeah I understand about the whole revision and bios thing but mine is 2.0 and is not supported. I also won't be trying to do anything unofficial. My intention is to build a new PC via part swap out and the GPU is just the first part. I will have no …

I'd say 0 - 50% depending on the game.
Your processor is old enough that in some games it will hold you back a lot. If I were you I'd upgrade that processor quickly it's so underpowered compared to your new GPU.
You might be able …

Tech just creeps these days. It's probably partly them milking the market as much as possible, partly lack of competition, but a big part of it is game design.
I agree. This is how I would explain it as well.
As for o…
Honestly, after playing TW3, I just can't get back into DA3. I bought the 1st DA3 DLC but TW3 hadn't released yet. Now with the way CDPR has marketed (free DLC vs frequent DA3 money grabs) and supported TW3 (frequent patches and PC control fixes), I…

I tell myself be nice and positive but when I see threads like this it's impossible to do that. Good try OP but IMO you're way off and that list should be your personal list and not top 7 of 2015.
What would you p…
Hey thanks for the replies as usual. I am currently at 1080p 22" and looking to do a Skylake build in the fall. I was thinking maybe I'd act a little sooner on the GPU and let it choke in my 4.5 year old PCI 2.0 slot for a few months.
