It is still unknown when the first DirectX and OpenGL games will take advantage of these new techniques. It will be also interesting to see whether Microsoft will pull another DX10 on PC gamers and make DX12 (or the version that will offer low-level access) exclusive to Windows 8.

I wish more people would use OpenGL to avoid this BS.

Can someone play a different game at the same time as the account holder who may be playing another game?? I.e. you're the account holder and you're playing Borderlands, can I, an authorized user play say Dark Souls from your library at the same time?

I believe so. You can't be playing the same game at the same time though


Edit: Scratch that. The answer is no

Another key restriction is that a shared library can only be accessed by one guest at a time, and should the owner decide to play a game, anyone playing a shared game will have a few minutes to either buy a copy or stop playing.

I just got a 1440p monitor for $350 at microcenter

It's one of those Auria ones. It was originally $400, but I found 3 dead pixels () and they gave me a $50 discount



Now I gotta get another desk behind me and figure out how to make Nvidia profiles

#pcproblems



That 1440p clarity though

 

[Ciggavelli]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but 1440p gaming might be better than triple monitor gaming



I've been streaming some 4K videos off youtube.

I didn't know about this 1440p shyt
