Hey Windows gots

8.1 is everything you expect from 7, including the start menu. You click the Windows button in the corner to toggle between the tile/desktop view.

Yeah the only difference I could tell was the charms popping out on occasion. He had just forgotten to disable them

Looking at buying a video card in the $200 price range. Seems like a decently cooled R9 270x 2GB is probably the best buy at this price?

8 has a clunky garbage ass interface. its like learning windows all over again. i have stuck to seven. even on new items that came with 8 i trashed that .

If you're patient you can probably find a 280 soon, since Nvidia just launched new GPUs and AMD will have to drop prices to stay compe ive. The 270 is still a beast card though.

GTA 4 on PC is sick. One of the most modded games in history for good reason.

he actually believes this.


I'd rather die a virgin than play GTA4 for more than an hour.

Never said it was the best game, but it's ing awesome to throw some mods on and just drive around.

I guess you only play the top 5 games of all-time though, right?

But I just want my Start button back

Meanwhile, the Dock's still where it's always been:

Along with that $1000 price tag for an underpowered laptop with no features. At least it's light enough that people who never see the inside of a gym won't strain themselves lugging it around.

Sick pic..too bad you can't install more than a handful of car replacement mods or else deal with massive texture loading issues

I'm gonna be picking one up for $350 in July Much better price imo

If by "features," you mean viruses and crashes, then sure, it has no "features"

Depends on the horsepower of your rig. My desktop can get pretty damn close to that quality.

The quality isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the number of cars you can replace in game before it starts ing up the draw distance

The security flaw, dubbed “S shock”, was found inside a piece of software called Bash, which is used by Apple’s Mac operating system as well as Linux systems and internet servers relied upon by governments, banks and the military.

Worst computer security flaw in history.

Worse than heartbleed.

Targeting Apple computers.

Keep spinnin' dat , bruh. Helps to know what you're talking about though.

I'd take you seriously but your Nintendo worshiping ruined it for you.

You think an R9 270x or a GTX 760 is overkill paired with an i5 4570? Wondering how far I can go before the CPU becomes a bottleneck.

You can get whatever card you want, it's not gonna bottleneck.

I wonder if the GTX 970s will come any lower than $320? And how the GTX 960s will compare.

Eventually they will. Right now your CPU isn't going to bottleneck with anything aside from maybe a top of the line card.

By top of the line do you mean one GTX 980 or multiple GTX 970/980 or R9 290x in parallel?

I think you would be fine even if you were to go SLI 980, but certain games may bottleneck.

This is a good explanation. Probably not but in certain situations it might.

The only issue is looking forward. An i5 might indeed be a bottleneck as games become more demanding. But for the most part it's still the most cost-effective CPU by a pretty good margin.
