Off Topic / GTX 970 or R9 390? (1080p)

« on: August 07, 2015, 01:08:41 AM »

I am in the market for a new GPU to replace my GTX 760. I don't want to SLI for a couple of reasons, but mainly because I am short on wattage to do it safely (650w). Anyways, I game at 1080p and both cards seem to be about the same in terms of raw performance, and I plan to maybe OC a little... nothing too extreme. The thing that sticks out the most to me is is the 4gb (3.5gb) and 8gb vram difference in the cards. They cost around the same amount of money and statistically it makes sense that the 390 would be a better buy, but I never bought an AMD product before as I am a huge nVidia fanboy, so I can't personally speak on behalf of AMD for their quality and reliability but the 390 shows promise. What are your people's thoughts?

Off Topic / Connecting my PS3 to my monitor + speakers

« on: June 05, 2015, 08:30:38 AM »

/title

I wanna use an HDMI to connect my PS3 to my monitor. Sadly, my monitor doesn't have an HDMI port, so I have to resort to using an HDMI to VGA adapter. Thing is, I know most of them suck deez nuts. Does anyone know of any decent one that has at least 720p or maybe even 1080p? I'm willing to spend a bit, but lets be reasonable, it's a loving adapter I don't want to spend like $50 on it.

So ya. Plus, is there any way to connect the PS3 to my speaker system? I think it has a jack port in the back somewhere, the PS3 that is, but someone could confirm this for me.

Find the standard coterminal angle of (3146/3)pi
I think you have to divide by like 2pi or something, and the answer should come out to be some numbered pi'd over 3
I think I am doing it wrong or my calculator is on some weird setting
Please show work so I know what to do!

Off Topic / Music you listen to during gaming

« on: June 01, 2015, 09:57:36 PM »

I listen to a variety of genres, mainly rock, and a lot of different game OSTs
I recently wanted to just play some laid back single player after having to deal with studies for finals, which was giving me some nasty anxiety
This helped a lot, and it's pretty chill

So, what do you listen to during your gaming sessions?
/thread

EDIT: No more "I listen to in-game music", like no stuff who doesn't from time to time.

Does anyone have a good footstep add-on? I tried this one but it doesn't really fit with my build.
It's laboratory of sorts, just to give you an idea of the type of sound I'm looking for.
Thanks!

Off Topic / 100 dank posts milestone

« on: May 28, 2015, 10:08:07 AM »

I would like to thank our intellectual, generous, multicultural and extremely accepting community for influencing newcomers such as myself in a positive way that has changed us ultimately for the better. I have never experienced such a level of satisfaction the users of this forums were able to achieve among each other. The friendly aura emitted from each and every one of you will surely help other newcomers in the future to become well respected members of the community, just as each and every one of you are now.

Now I have heard rumors, and recently observed, that some users here are viewed upon as some of the following: "trolls", "negative nancys", "friends" and "forgetwits", but surely these are all false accusations and there are simply just a few people here who have not yet fully accepted the practice of the holy Blockland Forums. Once every member does, and rightfully so they eventually shall, I believe this community will be filled with nothing but purity that even God himself will commend.

Keep it dank,
Xealyth

I don't want to be that guy, but it has been a pretty long time since any decent update came out, aka more content or stuff. Thoughts?

Off Topic / Virtual Audio Cable and Skype help

« on: August 31, 2014, 05:10:08 PM »

So I have a good setup running so I can play music from Winamp so my friends can hear me on Skype using VAC, it's something like this.

Line 1 - Headphones
Line 1 - Line 2
Microphone - Line 2

It's perfect but since I have to change the Skype microphone to Line 1, my friends can't hear me, just the stuff I can play from Winamp, and I can hear myself when I talk to the mic. Anyways, how do I make it so that I don't hear myself, can talk to friends AND play them stuff from Winamp?

Off Topic / How do you handle losing a pet?

« on: July 31, 2014, 04:16:52 PM »

Not too long my dog , puggle, Max, who was 10 years old, has succumbed to his cancer. We tried everything to make him better, but the vet recommended we don't do surgery / chemotherapy because of his age and the condition he was in, it would be best if he be either put to sleep or naturally pass away at home, and the cost was $2000 - $3000 which we just did not have at the moment to shell out on our dog. I feel loving terrible for not trying to convince my family members to go with it, like it's all my fault. Basically, I was in shock. I was right next to it when it happened. I tried to give him water, I petted him, took some pictures and videos... anything I could to preserve the memory and make his final moments the most heartwarming, that he knew I was with him til the end. I knew his end was nearing, but I didn't expect it for another week or so... I am severely depressed because this is the first time I actually lost something in my life that I cared about ( at this age in which I understand what has happened. ) and I don't know what to do with myself... I feel so angry and sad at the same time and I just loving can't think. I can't believe I'm even posting this stuff on the forums, as I will probably get bashed with smart-ass replies saying " it's all your fault. " or some other stuff that I don't want to be loving dealing with right now. I just. Need. Advice. How can I relieve all this stress from my recent loss...
