Doesn't that introduce some significant input lag? IIRC, the best speed you can get with a display is if you're connecting via dual-link DVI or even RGB.RicoADF said:yes you heard right, I use a TV via HDMI connection
Yes, that is what we call them. My rig in its current form is roughly a year and a half old, after I scrapped my old budget build in favor of a core i5 2500k (which also required a new mobo), and 8GB of RAM. Went through several upgrades after that, adding in a solid-state drive (a must, if you ask me), an extra 2TB HDD, aftermarket cooler, and an 850W PSU.verdant monkai said:So how much did you guys pay for your rigs? that is what you call them yes?
Since then, I've also gone through three different video cards. The first one, a Radeon 6870, was sold off to a co-worker. The second one, a factory-overclocked GTX 670, is going to my nephew. Since I'm not going to recoup any losses from purchasing that card, I factor that in my current rig's expense.
The latest GPU is a GTX 690, which by itself cost me over a thousand dollars. In fact, it'd be safe to say I've spent over $2,000 on this rig, but even that is a modest estimate at this point. It's probably closer to 3k, maybe more.
I always thought 'PC gaming master race' was meant to be used ironically. I know I never deliver it without tongue firmly in cheek.Also please don't make any PC gaming master race comments, they churn my stomach and make PC gamers seem terrible.
He can always sell old parts to offset the expense of upgrading.barbzilla said:...the important part is to not upgrade too often. This is where PC gaming can get expensive.
