Just built a Loftbed for my tiny ass room and put my computer and tv's under the bed. 

Ordered an EVGA GTX 970, should get here Monday or Tuesday, and I just got a new black widow stealth edition... Anyone else get anything new and shiny?

got triple monitors thats my newest addition. 

What'd you get in specific? 4k monitors are slowly going down in price c:

3 23" 1920x1080 Acer monitors.

 

I can run them in 5760x1080 but I run them without surround because i can snap windows to each monitor and use fullscreen windowed easier for games like WoW and D3. 

I've heard Acer can be touchy with their monitors, you got your monitors with no dead pixels or anything right?

I've had no problems out of them. Only part ive had problems with is the EVGA 560 TI i've had to send it in for RMA twice so far. You could buy the most expensive brand and still have to RMA.

Weird, I have a ton of EVGA products and have never had a problem :o

Same with friends

 

What seems to be the problem?

Yeah I'd like to know as well, I've never had any issues with EVGA products and same with my friends, we pretty much even choose that brand because of the reliability.

 

Will probably post my rig sometime this week.

EVGA is just so big and all of my friends use at least one of their products, you can't go wrong you know? Also, isn't the 5 series 4 years old? To be honest with the 900 series released if you don't want to fork up the extra money for those, I retired my EVGA GTX 660 SC which is only about 2 years old, give a few months I think. Even though it's 2 years old, I could max Battlefield 3 @ ~60fps, played Battlefield 4 comfortably on high @ ~45-50fps, iirc I could play crysis 3 on high with like ~35fps (my buddy tested that on his Asus 660, no idea what I would have gotten I don't think I even own the game. I'm 90% certain he wasn't oc'd either.) Even though I was already SC'd, I NEVER oc'd to get those numbers. If you're just playing runescape and other low-graphics (intensity) games, I suppose the 660 will be fine. When big maps came into effect on Civilization 5, my GPU was fine (Yes I know civ is more CPU based but I had that maxed out graphically too)

 

So yeah

 

I have my 660 in it's original box, I was gonna try to sell it for $100 USD but I don't know of anyone that would want it.

I'll still buy EVGA, my point is any product can be defective. SLI 560ti's still run a lot of games at max settings 60 fps very powerful cards for being so old. No doubt ill upgrade to 980 when my warranty runs out on these cards.

Dude Nvidia covers warranty replacements in certain cases for up to 10 years.

 

EVGA only does 2 years :P

 

What was that about replacing them after the warranty? :D

GPU's are 2 year's and my warranty will be up later this year. 

This is the EVGA specific warranty stuff.

Notice the cards ending in a certain suffix can be 10 years.

Whats your point? I know what warranty my cards have considering i've RMA'd them through evga twice. When you register a product through EVGA it also tells you when your warranty is up through the RMA page. No reason to even link that.

WIthout going back to the last page I recall something about you saying that GPU's have 2 year warranties. Just depends on which one you buy which is what I'm trying to say.

Anyone have any new builds? I'm stll on the same Z87 build. Icr if I posted in here saying I procured a GTX970 sc the day they released

Upgraded the 560ti's to a 970 ACX 2.0, I can run 3 monitors off just the 970 and i run a tv mounted above the monitors off the CPU. I'll post a picture when i get a better phone. I'm impressed with the 970 though i'm running The Witcher 3 at 50-55 FPS and the rest of my games are more than 60 fps easily.

I have the ACX 1.0 on my 970. Still a wicked card.

Just moved in in a new city and appartment. Thought I'd post an update here. 

 

I still have to do the wire management as you'll see in the pictures, but it has been done since taking the pictures.

TCL 48FS3750 48-Inch 1080p Roku Smart LED TV (2016 Model)

The TV was a spur of the moment decision. I don't regret it, played GTAV and Witcher 3 on it off the pc and its amazing. The ROKU is built in and integrated great and i love it. Just 1 click to go to PC or back to wireless streaming.

 

My old PC is now a plex server + Minecraft Server + my sister uses it for photoshop. It has an i5-2400 on a z68 mobo. I may buy a 212 evo for it and overclock the blck to 3.8ghz it ran stable at 3.8 but it ran 90c underload on stock cooler so i think its possible to get some more life out of it.
