Bajaha posted:drat those look nice, but definitely getting sticker shock from the price. If you're primarily gaming an ultrawide seems really attractive. How's the FOV support for most games, I remember reading that was an issue with ultrawides. No idea. I'm just in the 'thinking about it' stage, and who knows when I might actually do something. Hopefully they'll drop in price a bit after the initial release rush wears off. As for Oculus, I'm not really interested in strapping a monitor onto my head, but who knows what the future might hold.

Friend of mine has an oculus and I played with it a bit. It was cool to see in action, but one of the demos he had (rollercoaster) hosed me up for like a day and a half, had a headache / felt motion sick for way too long after. He said you get used to the oculus after a while. If you haven't played with one, I would recomend it, "walking" around in a virtual environment while being able to look around is pretty cool, I just couldn't handle it when the environment moved on its own.

I have a bit of astigmatism so my Oculus Rift devkit causes a seriously bad headache and really fucks up my sense of balance after 10 minutes of use. I keep meaning to monkey with the lens settings to see if I can tune it out, but it's not like I have a huge compulsion to invite more brain problems.

Powershift posted:I would wait for some seat time with an oculous before splurging on a gaming monitor. A stationary monitor for gaming might seem like an outdated concept. This (plus low wife-approval factor) is a large part of why I still have just one 1080p screen at home. However...

I need more friends that aren't my wife. All my buddies are either dads now (and don't have time for non familial male bonding) or have moved away. It doesn't help that I don't have a regular work place in the town that I live in (I'm a consultant and my clients are 120 mi away).

The Locator posted:I have 3 x 27" 1080p, but I apparently hate money, so I'm seriously considering a Acer Predator X34 to replace the center one. It's one of the few 34" ultra-wides that support G-Sync so should be pretty awesome to play games on now that I've got the horsepower to drive a beast like that. Hahahaha... yeah bout that... Mates got one of the Predator X34's, and his system which runs a hex core Xeon CPU , 32gb of ram with twin GTX 980's cant push ultra graphics in fallout 4 at native resolution on it.

Ferremit posted:Hahahaha... yeah bout that... That's really surprising to me as its native resolution of 3440x1440 is only ~900 column px (35% or so more pixels) more than the 2560x1440 that I run off an i5-6600K OC'd to 4.2, 16GB of RAM and twin GTX970s, and I can push ultra in FO4 at native. 980s are only ~10% faster than 970s, true, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference. Twin 970s is also ~10% faster than a 980Ti, so two 980Tis is clearly the solution to this problem  E: Did the pixel math. 2560x1440 = 3.686mpx, 3440x1440 = 4.953mpx, which is 25.6% more pixels. Twin 980s should handle it, barely... literally a fish fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Boaz MacPhereson posted:They're loving knocking it out of the park lately. 3097877 was a shitfest too. My favorite lately is fresh install windows 7 with sp1 only to have windows updates svchost.exe chew up a usable portion of ram to bring the machine to a crawl, so have to end task and run a hotfix that takes care of it, and another hotfix to fix the hotfix to be able to run all final updates.. I initially thought the machine had a motherboard/ram issue, after 2 different machine types doing it, I figured it had to be something MS related.. Thanks Microsoooooft...

Tee-minus one week until welding lessons! Me irl:  I better get that garage of ours un-hosed on the double. So much water coming in from the outside that it's starting to smell like a musty old basement and I'm not sure what to do about it since it's cold and rainy outside. Filling the gap with sand and then covering it with _______ is the first option, just not sure how effective that's gonna be

I think I just tossed one those, I'll check but dont get your hopes up; it might have had battery leakage issues.

Recently he's developed behavioral problems so the state has revoked his license. The car (a first year Mazda 6) has been sitting undriven for over a year in the group home garage. He's been relocated to central Indiana and the car is just taking up space they could use for storage. As my mom noted that I've owned 4 Mazdas so far she looked into how much the car would be if sold and the agency doesn't want to deal with it and is willing to sign the title over to us and declare the value of the car equal to scrap value as they were offered $120 for it for scrap. It has a dead battery, 4 flat tires, wheel arch rust and who knows what else. They tried jumping it with no luck. Mom took my battery charger over and it did nothing. So we have like 48 hours to decide if it's worth having it flat-bedded somewhere.

I'd also not be allowed to mess with it on site, it has to be removed from the garage since it's not my mom's normal work assignment. I guess they had it for sale for the last 6 months for $2000, then $1000, then $500 with no bites at all. If I had the room I'd just do it and mess with it later but even my mom's house is overloaded with cars right now.

CharlesM posted:I love Mazdas but it's not a car worth saving. If it had no other issues, just a totally dead battery and flat tires it would be worth it as a winter car. Mom said the tires are completely flat and they couldn't get the jack under it. It's just sitting in the garage under boxes. I was looking at how much it would cost to get it trailered here and it would be roughly the same as the scrap value so it's be a wash if it's dead. I did tell mom just now to have them take the scrap value as I don't need this nonsense in my life.
