:lol This is sort of me. I picked up a 34" widescreen monitor because it was such a good deal. Also because I've heard incredible things about freesync and want to give it a shot.

[baseline bum]

I got The Last of Us for $10, and Bloodborne, God of War III, and Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection for $15. I know DJR210 is rolling in his grave at the news.

I thought you said you were going to buy a GTX 1080. :lol

Gonna wait for Vega then?

[DJR210]

I got a 6 GB 1060 for 220.00.. Not a huge savings, but a decent enough deal on a damn good 1080p card. Looking forward to modding the FUCK outta some GTA V, Skyrim, etc. w/ as many 4K texture mods as I can find.. Will try Shadow of Mordor w/ the textures on ultra also..

Did you get the LG one? Was like 220.00 on Newegg I believe..

[Cry Havoc]

Yup, I picked it up for $250 on ebay. Normally retails for ~$400(?), and was a good price at that point. Looked on newegg and they had it for $280. I think the $220 was the one without freesync.

Nice.. what's the res? And from ebay are you buying from a store or an individual?

Which monitor? This one?

Pretty fucking nice haul for $250 if so.

[DJR210]

Also, Cry Havoc, did you remember to get a DisplayPort cable? No :lolsync without it

It's actually the newer version of that with a better stand and a wider freesync refresh (40-75hz).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAC4Z5204704&cm_re=lg_34%22-_-24-025-344-_-Product

Yeah, $250 with Free shipping and no tax. Not bad.

Nice. 2560x1080 won't require breaking the bank on a new gpu to play games at 75 fps. GTX 970, R9 290/290x, RX 480, GTX 1060 are all capable of pushing that resolution really well.

:tu Yep that's the thought. My next rig will be for VR anyway so it'll be a monster.

Damn nice. Have you played any of them before? Start with LoU tbh

[baseline bum]

Nope. As soon as I get a PS4 I'm going to jump on The Last of Us. If FFXV can't hold 60 fps after the December patch for PS4 Pro I'm just going to buy the Slim. It doesn't look good for there being a 60 fps version of the game though since the one that released today sometimes struggles to stay at 30 fps on the high framerate mode for PS4 Pro.

I should have just bought a Slim yesterday for $250. :pctoss

Anova Bluetooth Immersion Circulator for $100 for my brother. I got one last christmas and it's the shit.

Didn't get anything for myself. I did buy a couple games for my boys that were on sale over the weekend.

[resistanze]

Nothing. Going back to Canada later this month armed with USD and Holiday sales:lol

[DJR210]

Was gonna get Quantum Break off of the Skidrow/Reloaded holiday specials, but then saw it's over 100 GB :lol

[baseline bum]

That's if you download the videos. Get this version which streams the videos:

https://www.skidrowreloaded.com/quantum-break/

The 1fichier link should allow you download at 4MB/s. It's a good game but even with a 1060 you'll be doing upscaling from 720p with lots of AA at times. Even a 1080 can't play at a native 1080p and still get a locked 60 fps.

http://gamegpu.com/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/Quantum_Break_/new/qb_1920_off.png

You can get a reasonable framerate with the dynamic resolution scaling on since you have a GSync monitor.

http://gamegpu.com/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/Quantum_Break_/new/qb_1920.png

But I had to turn it to medium to get a locked 60 fps on my 970. Since I don't have a GSync monitor that locked 60 is critical to me.

It's a good game with a fun story but not a must play like Witcher 3. And with that resolution scaling the graphics aren't that impressive, certainly nothing like Witcher 3, which is the gold standard of pc gaming right now.

[DJR210]

Yeah, the Witcher 3 is damn good.. The fighting system is nice as hell, that first boss fight w/ the griffin was the shit

I was searching for "huge monitors" and found this:

Not sure I could get 3 of them to stay that close together.

[Wild Cobra]

I'm not a cheapskate.

I stay home on Black Friday. My sanity is worth more than saving a few bux.

Good to see I have so many people hating me.

Shows me I have power over all of you who do.

I think Mick's 3rd wife looks fine on the three:

Meh there was one person ahead of me at GameStop when I went in two hours after opening. Not bad to get a few PS4 games for half off.

[Wild Cobra]

I'm good with the three. Had four with my 1920 x 1200 hooked up too, but I need a bigger computer area for that. Using that one now as a standalone for my home security 16 camera DVR now.

I like multitasking. Turned the middle one to landscape (normal) with the outside ones in portrait mode.

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x262/Wild_Cobra/Computer/3screens_zps3mihsdwy.png

I have a Nature Journal very legible single page to the left, Watching Lucifer on the center monitor, and the forum on the right.

PrtSc (printscreen) captures all three.

They must be doing pretty bad.

Things are nothing but chaos there in Portland on Black Friday.

They said it was really busy at 5AM when they opened. I wasn't going to get up that early and wait in line to save $40-$50, but I was more than happy to go at 7AM.

Mayne, dem Trinitrons.. Can barely even notice the bezels.. the soundbar by Beats is sure to make at least one person happy too

What I don't understand is why you wouldn't just get one 40" or so 4K monitor if you're going to have them setup like that.. Do you just prefer the bezel?

[DMC]

I was thinking of taking black marker and coloring the bezels or drawing trees or something to make it look like one picture.

I played around with different arrangements.

See post #44.

Besides, that arrangement is 4320 x 2560. A bit more than 4k.

[Wild Cobra]

It's also a 27:16 ratio and if the screens could mesh together with no space, it would be 54.7" diagonal.

Ok, since you're being technical..
