Yeah, I love IPS panels for gaming. I don't play competitively so having a high refresh rate is less important than having accurate and vibrant colors, and good viewing angles. I hate how TN panels have that gamma shift when you aren't looking at them right on. It gets worse with larger screens too. Personally I'm hoping for a IPS (Or IPS comparable tech) 1440p, 21:9, 120+hz, with DP 1.2a (For Freesync). I will probably have to wait a while for that. Right now I'm waiting on the correct waterblock for my GPU, and later this year/early next I am upgrading to a X99 motherboard and a i7 5820K. Like this one with a higher refresh rate: Holy s**t that jank is almost 1300 dollars on Amazon. I guess people are just doing whatever the frak they want now? If my monitor is anything to go by (which is a 1080p ultrawide from LG), it is a damn good monitor. Worth 1300 dollars?... nope. But when it comes down in price? yeah. |

I was looking at the 3440 x 1440 actually. I'd like an ultrawide if I had the hardware to run games on it. I also imagine it's annoying to put in a car. My 27-inch takes up enough space as it is. |

They say each time you buy a GPU you should move up a tier at least. So I'll be looking at a GTX 770/870 or an R9 280x soon. |

Some of us should find a good coop game or something. I've barely played anything with any of you guys, at least I haven't for a while.

I don't see anything other than L4D in my library either. I guess maybe CS could be considered coop if you have a team. I know SC2 and Diablo 3 have decent coop modes, and BFBC2 is still kicking on PC (I think) but I don't know how many of you guys have them. DayZ?  |

I play TitanFall still, although I haven't in some time. I've heard Marked for Death is awesome, so I'll probably check that out sometime next week. duplissi: Gamma shifting on the Swift in particular is bad when it comes to vertical viewing angles. The horizontal viewing angle is actually pretty respectable in this regard. I haven't heard much at all about FreeSync since AMD first mentioned it some time ago, what is even happening with that? EDIT: Hm, after looking into it and thinking about it, I don't really know what the 'optimal' 4K monitor would be, and what aspect ratio I'd even want to look into. 21:9 poses space issues, and another concern is I think I'll be forced to do 880 SLI to even use two DisplayPort connections (correct me if I'm wrong here). But I'm not opposed to this. I really don't know what my "movie" monitor, which I'm not planning to get anytime too soon after the Swift, will be. Probably will have to make some decisions regarding this no sooner than half a year from now. |

I just tried Steam music for the first time. Wrecking demons in Shadow Warrior is so much better when you've got "It's a Beautiful Day" by Michael Buble playing over it.

Is this available to everyone? I just updated Steam. The little icon changed, which is the only thing I've noticed. I think I skipped the update details... |

I was in the beta though, so maybe not, but I thought this update added it for everyone. Go to the "Library" drop down thing, and if it says "music" as the 4th or 5th option then click it. Queue some songs up and then shift+tab during a game and click on "music" at the bottom of the overlay. A little music player will pop up and you can play the songs you queued. Just looked it up and apparently it's in open beta, so I'd assume it was a part of that update or a prior one. |

Nosgoth is pretty fun, my steam if anyone wants to play with me ;( steamcommunity.com/id/BladesfistI have bought a Swift, it is out of stock though so could be a month till I see it, which I don't mind to much as it gives me time to buy a GTX 880 and Nvidia 3D glasses. Bring it on! |

You guys think an 870 or 880 will be suitable for most games on high, 1440p and 60 frames?

Do any of you play DOTA 2 or CSGO? I want to get into both of them, but it seems intimidating to play alone, mostly because the community can be a bit rough around the edges. You guys think an 870 or 880 will be suitable for most games on high, 1440p and 60 frames? I would think so. The 880 is going to be a beast. |
