    New GPU - maybe?

    my thinking is, for the last 2 generations, preordering nvidia cards at MSRP on day 1 was always a good idea, as it was followed by weeks or months of low stocks and considerable markups. I don't think there are any benchmark results that would substantially change things unless they massively....

    New GPU - maybe?

    There's some interesting info in their Q&A article: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-30-series-community-qa/

    New GPU - maybe?

    If you have some time and want to stay low budget, I think a used 2070 might become a really good deal since everyone will upgrade.

    New GPU - maybe?

    Going to get a 3080 day one to replace my 2080. It sounds amazing. Also, devs later confirmed that the numbers are also true without rtx, the 3080 can do maxed doom external at 4k 144 fps, which is ridiculous. Maybe I can even enable rtx shadows now, the 2080 wasnt fast enough for that :(

    ACCEPTED: Social Raider Application - Awaké - Doomhammer - Retribution

    I'm curious, and mean no offense at all. But all application long you talk about how you want to rise above the ambitions of your old guild mates, and might be too competitive for your own good. But then you apply as a social for raiding HC ToS once per week, which is exactly what your old....

    Hots beta- Draft Mode

    PSA: If you want to get into HOTS cheap but still have some options, buy the starter pack from sites like G2A.com (~12€), then sell the tiger mount code on eBay (~7-8€). This way you get 5 decent heroes equalling 33k gold for around 5€. Also gonna join MM chat when I have the chance :D

    Good series

    Awesome to see all the new suggestions :D Is there any scifi worth watching? Seems it's getting revived in the cinema (Star Wars, Star Trek,....) but I'm not seeing any cool new shows, Battlestar reboot was the last cool one I watched.... Also Strong, what makes that show good? Sherlock is the....

    Patch download mirrors

    Hey Mystm8, WoW still launches directly for me without the client, so you should be OK. 2 things to try: 1) download and patch in safe mode or with uninstalled gfx drivers 2) download on another PC and copy entire WoW folder, WoW never needed to be installed "properly" before 6.0.3, maybe....

    Project ideas

    - Solve how to transfer files between 2 computers securely in a corporate environment. Some of the retarded companies I work with have a "sorry no USB sticks because hax and max 10MB emails" rule that's just fantastic! - how is the "delete my history" working out for the EU and Google so far....

    Tiny GTX970 system

    actually I am surprised by WoW's ability to always challenge the latest GPUs and CPUs that come out despite having been out for like 10 generations! I know that my Ivy quad-core with a 660 ti does not deliver a steady 60FPS with everything turned up to max and AA at 1080p. Of course turning....

    Tiny GTX970 system

    Gigabyte announced a mITX version of their 970 :D http://www.pcgamer.com/gigabyte-introduces-the-first-mini-itx-gtx-970/ If it turns out to not be a good card for some reason, there's also this 20cm Zotac....

    Tiny GTX970 system

    Hey, cheers for the replies, Ayu's solution seems more elegant and roomy, so I'm gonna go with that after having a first-hand look.... Aaaanyway, I would prefer not to buy a laptop since I have a very pretty ultrabook with the 840M already which does run WoW at 1080p, just at good/high, not max....

    Tiny GTX970 system

    Hey guys, I am currently playing WoW on an ultrabook with a 840M. It works surprisingly well but for WoD I am considering buying a desktop system. Since I need to buy it in Germany and take it with me on an airplane, I'd like to have a system that's as small and lightweight as possible. Extra....

    Which class to boost as a casual scrub?

    That is the best character name I've ever heard.
