Yeah, it seemed like the people with the most problems were running Eyefinity or CF (or both :toldya: ) setups. Not to say I haven't had issues with NVIDIA, just fewer.

 

 

There's a post here with info on editing/flashing your BIOS: http://www.overclock.net/t/1467851/nvidia-maxwell-kepler-bios-editing-thread-gtx-2xx-to-9xx-now-supported

 

Curious, why do you want to flash it?

 

Just wishing to try it out for the sake of learning it.

This was the first new thread I saw. Now I must obligatorily post my shrine to the glorious Lord GabeN in here.

Got Metro working, it turns out some GPUs don't using DX11 with that game and you have to choose DX9 or DX10 for it to be anything close to stable.

Would recommend you read over that thread. I wouldn't do it personally unless I needed to overclock even further than the stock TDP would allow (assuming I had a good enough chip to even get to that point, which I don't. :okiedokielokie: )

That's strange. 750 Ti a DX11 GPU. I've read the opposite, Metro running better in 11 than 9.

I haven't tired nine, but I get horrible and prolonged FPS drops(sometimes as low as the single digits) almost constantly in action scenes that DX10 largely makes manageable or eliminates outright.

Looks like reviews indicate you can. If you can get a cable to it, you'll probably get much better performance using it as an access point.

I don't think I can get my cables any better than they are right now. Oh well, I got them out of the way of the CPU cutout at least. That should help a lot when I get a proper cooler.

I don't how I did that when it's one of the more interesting looking titles XD.

Bought my new PC thanks to the advice from people here, so thank you.

 

I am getting a headache from importing bookmarks, is there any software which makes that process and organizing them easier?

What browser are you using? Because I know where the Chrome bookmarks file is.

Still my dream keyboard.

Chrome. Should I just buckle down and do it, not bothering with making it easier?

Nah, just go to %AppData%\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default (or whatever your username is) and copy the Bookmarks file to the same location on the new PC.

Anyone else tried this one? I'm curious because it's interesting so far(kind of like a throwback to 90s budget adventure games), but it seems like not many people have it because the page is near dead and it doesn't even have trophies. 

 

It's only $1.50 right now if anyone finds it interesting(I got it in a bundle).

That keyboard :D.

 

 

In other news, I'd just like to say that the GPU I am going to get apparently went down from $189 to $149, but it's sold out now right now ;/. Oh well. Hopefully it'll stay down and not go back up. Mostlikely my future GPU

 

Another thing, who wants to explain the humble bundle to me? Because I don't know if I really get it, i've never used it, but I hear about it a lot, but It doesn't really make sense to me exactly. Like how are you supposed to pay any price you want for games? Couldn't I just pay 1 dollar for everything then?

The Farcry Franchise pack(everything up through FC3) is on sale for $10 so I'm going to nab it. I might grab the complete edition of Skyrim($14) to.
