I sold my old AMD build to my business to use for autocad and stuff like that. We do furniture design so you need a proper PC to run the software and yada yada. So I essentially gave my PC to my business and used the funds to buy a new one.
But I fucked up the mobo while trying to install the water cooler. So they're replacing it today and luckily they just let me return it so I just have to pay for labor.
Anyways it's a really solid solid PC.
Intel i7 4770k
16 Gigs Ram
Nvidia 780Ti 3 gig
120 SSD
1TB 7200 RPM drive
and a gigabyte Z97N board
I'm really excited to be part of green and blue now. Since PC gaming told me just to replace the mobo and processor I thought of the next best thing. Just build something better. Hahahah. I was gonna go titan but it seemed the performances were better now for the 780 Ti. But that 6 gigs of ram in the titan is certainly beast
Luckily though I bought the insurance on the video card. The store has a really great return policy of you return it in two years and they give you a gift card for the price of the card. So essentially it's like free video cards as long as I keep it up.
Next upgrade I'm going dual Titan Blacks but I am also have 3x 2560x1440 monitors to go with them.
Modded/undebased Watchdogs looks awesome. The DOF adds to the aesthetic appeal of the game and nullifies some of the lacklustre art direction especially in daytime. The new bloom effect mainly around dusk/sunset is sublime and finally headlights actually cast shadows; an immersion breaker in the original, gimped game.
ISS looks like a tacky cartoon in comparison especially if you're playing Watchdogs at 1440p with txaa. The particles and lighting are prettier in Infamous and thats all.

And that's why. I was silly and went with a 27 inch IPS monitor that's sitting at a pretty 1080p.
But nonetheless i'll get to higher resolutions one day. Luckily there are always new barriers to break into with PC gaming and while i've been doing it since about 2011 I feel like i'm not really getting into it. Good luck with those dual titans man, that shit will be ballin.
A couple more of Aerofly FS, this time with less haze. It's more realistic to see more haze (unless a front just came through). But, it looks better with less. The video card when the screenshots were taken was still my GTX 560 Ti. Those volumetric clouds will kill framerates just like that.
Compare framerates with my GTX 770 (4Gb), the new mid-range for the PC. Geez. It just clobbers the older card.
@seanmcloughlin: Yeah I decided to jump ship from the AMD build when the guys at PC gaming told me the AMD CPUs don't work as well in unison with your graphics cards. First intel build, once I get it back i'm really looking forward to pushing some games to the limit.

It has nothing to do with 'unison' they're just slower then Intel CPU's so of course Intel CPU's will 'work' better then AMD CPU's.

Well i'm not pro at this by any means so excuse my ignorance.
But if your CPU, GPU, Ram, HD everything is communicating with each other at some point, wouldn't they have to work in tandem a little bit?
Open Miiverse while in game and upload a screenshot in a comment, then open Miiverse in a browser and take the screenshot from there.
Thanks !
I'll try it out, Mario Kart 8 will definitely be a game where taking a screenshot at the right time can be a lot of fun :)
Actually you can just open the internet browser in the middle of the game, and upload where you paused at straight to tinypic or imgur.com. No need to go to the miiverse to do it.

No, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't matter what brand of component you use, it will all work at the same speed so to speak.

Of course everything has to work in tandem in some form or another but that's never the issue, the issue is the performance that each respective part offers and not how well it communicates with other parts.
@kitty: ^___^ thnx. I don't have Skyrim yet but I'll be getting it soon on PC. I'll make sure that is the 1st mod I install when I get it. You're gonna enjoy Watch Dogs, it's a really fun game even if the graphics aren't top notch at times.
More BF4 MP screens in Operation Firestorm....
I hope you get it soon and have fun with the mods and the game itself. Though it does have the typical bethesda bugs, so hopefully you can tolerate that. You'll be amazed at how much the enb can change things. For me gameplay and story is where its at. But I have no doubt that it will still look good on the ps4. Nice shots again, I can't wait to try out B4, it will be included with that ps4. The deal I'm getting, is a PS4 with 6 games for $425. Good to have some awesome friends that will set you up with things like this.

Ahhhh ok. Cool.
Thank you!
So to take a wild guess it's just one part kind of limiting another due to it's speed? Right?

Sounds even better.
Thank you too :)
So you take a screenshot, open internet browser and upload it... gotcha.
21:9 monitor? Ultra widescreen screenshots are sexy. So tempted to get a 21:9 monitor
Yup... Its the Dell 29".
I am tempted in upgraded to the 34" 3440x1440 LG... It looks beautiful. Honestly when games support 21:9 properly and don't stretch a 16:9 it looks stunning.
There's a lot of PS4 fanboys on here that don't actually own a PS4, so they won't have many screenshots yet. Funny when you think about it.
You were saying? All of these are my personal screens BTW...
From Top to Bottom: Killzone, Tomb Raider, Infamous, and Watch Dogs
You do realize that does nothing to disprove his point
You dont have to own something to be a fan ... nor you need to. I know many lems that dont own X1 yet , many cows dont own a PS4 yet ...so what ? They dont have the right to be lems/cows ?

My girlfriend cheated on me in Sleeping Dogs.....No one cheats on me
Chivalry
I'd like to post some Chivalry pics....but I am worried, if I go back to it even to simply take some photos, I'll get soul-suckingly addicted to it again. Already lost 242hrs of my life as is.
