  1. Oh also, I run Dual 24" 1920x1200, more res than a 1080i TV can display, so it isn't the resolution making Witcher 3 playable, as I run games at native resolution.

  2. Up above, I link my card, it is a GTX 560 SE, and it runs the Witcher 3 just fine. I didn't do any tuning, I just went right into the game. Modern games aren't stressing video cards. Claiming that 60 FPS is REQUIRED is stupid too, 30 FPS is just fine for the majority of people, and people claiming they need 60 FPS are much like the people buying Denon Link cables for their stereos. If you need the latest video card to be happy, more power to you, but it is more of an addiction than an actual need.

  3. I don't know.

    My main desktop's video card is this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/...

    and it still runs anything I throw at it perfectly.

    Video cards are so overpowered current games that I just don't see the point of upgrading, I've had that card for 3 years, and haven't even see it degrade in a game yet. My most recent game is The Witcher 3, so it isn't like I am playing outdated games, and yes, it can play Crysis 2. (I don't own Crysis 3)

  4. On a TV though? I doubt they can refresh fast enough to matter.

  5. Best? on 22-Way SteamOS Graphics Card Comparison: NVIDIA Wins Across the Board (phoronix.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    So, the best price/performance comes out to a GTX 750, so why even bother with a newer card?

    GTX 750 - $109
    GTX 960 - $205
    GTX 970 - $318

    Yet, the reviewer recommends the above 960 or 970 for living room builds. Do you really get that much more performance to spend $100 and $200 more on a video card for a TV?

    The 750 also runs cooler

    750 - 35-54 deg C
    960 - 45-74 deg C
    970 - 34-63 deg C

    which will allow your living room PC to run quieter. I recommend the 750, you will be happier being able to hear your games/movies over the spinning fans.

    I agree, it is a beast of a storm, but attributing a single storm to AGW is absurd.

    I personally feel for the people being hit by this storm. I have been lucky, despite some dooseys hitting my area, I have never lost anything to a hurricane, but they can cause you to lose everything, so they are no laughing matter.

    This is El Nino. It is entirely expected. This is not an unusual weather pattern, nor is it the strongest storm ever. You really need to calm the rhetoric.

    A conspiracy is when multiple people plot to do something. Yes, it doesn't have to be unlawful, as the definition says unlawful OR harmful, but I can't imagine a conspiracy that was legal, so I am not sure what you mean by that.

It doesn't mean your theory is better though; that the unicorn farts are causing distortions in the light passing by the Bullet Cluster just making it appear that there is mass not in the visible area of the cluster that is bending the light.

    So, I found information about an old petition when searching for more information about your hosts file engine (copyright infringement?)

    We hereby petition the government of the United States of America to review our proposal for putting Alexander Peter Kowalski (i.e. APK) to death by any means available. This individual is a menace to society and has proven himself to be a drain on the productivity for the millions of IT workers worldwide that spend so much time uncontrollably laughing at APK and his antics. We estimate that this phenomena is costing businesses in the US at least 100 million dollars on an annual basis. Given that APK only has APKTools to justify existence we have no problem recommending him for immediate execution. If at all possible, we would like the execution to be slow and painful.

    LOL, when you annoy people so much that they create a petition for your death, you know the trolling has succeeded. Oh and BTW, my corporate firewall has marked your tools as "Potentially Unwanted Software", isn't that great to be blocked from viewing it because it is so unwanted.
