Look like just regular 10 dollar "night" driving glasses to me. They block out blue light and give everything a yellowish tint (which is easier on the eyes). It's amazing how companies can scam people by just putting the tag "gamer" on it.

it was a great card at the time and I couldn't be happier, even now, but I bought it from the wrong store. Had I spent like $20 more I could have pretended it was broken, and scammed komplett.no for a 390 instead as a friend of mine just did. fml.
>>52139908
what the fuck are those?
Just got an AMD R9 380 to replace my 7 year old GTX 260. I can afford it but I already regret wasting money on the GPU. Have not installed it yet. Will probably return it and use the GTX 260 for a few more years.
Gaming has become very boring and Blender is more than fast enough on that 7 year old GPU.
I should return it and put the money in a savings account.
>>52139908
My 290Xs, kind of. AMD's CF support is so shit that I should have just bit the bullet and bought 2 GTX 980s. Gonna wait for new cards to come out before chucking these things out and replacing them with something better.
Also fuck Sapphire & Gigabyte.
>>52142327
yes you should
>>52142327
My "old" GTX670 is still going strong as well. I don't really play any games, bought it for flight simulators (DCS, FSX) and it can still run anything I throw at it.
>>52139908
my prebuilt pc from when I was younger. I wish I didn't buy it. I mean the pc still runs to this day (almost 6 years now) but damn building one on my own would have been much much cheaper.. Oh well, lesson learnt
Anything razer gaming products. I fucking hate them so much now, I don't want your God damn cloud sync.
>>52142543
I had the same with logitech products. Over the years I have come to hate them. They used to have pretty decent stuff, my MX510 was a great mouse. Nowadays they either sell crap or slap a "gaymun" tag on a product just so people fork out more money.
>>52141909

That doesn't look so bad, you sure you don't have a rotten apple?
700 might have been a bit excessive but the resolution is nice and so are the other specs.
I was honestly expecting some shitty gaymur TN when I clicked the link.
what do these things even do
>>52139908
All of the Payday 2 dlcs.
With sales it goes up to €30. Most of them are complete shit waste but I got cucked into buying because I like the game.
>>52143986
Yeah I purchased it in 2012 when 1440p was just being brought to consumers, I feel like I hopped on it too soon and if I waited and got a 1080p instead I could have got a nice 34" 21:9 behemoth for almost the same price
8gb more ram for $32 to make 16gb, for a total of $65
Corsair Vengeance.. I probably will never need it
>>52144006
Besides maybe filtering out some blue light (assuming thats what they do since blue light is know to disrupt sleeping patterns).
Nothing, they are like a fedora. Only they make you look even more dumb for wearing them.

how 'bout me? I purchased 16 gigs of DDR3 for $140 in 2013
>>52139908
Bought a $250 OCZ PCI-E SSD, stopped working after a month and they wouldn't replace it despite being covered.
Sent it back to the place I bought it and got some Patriot shit instead
>>52144055
When I upgraded from 4GB I almost bought 16, then realized I don't play 2 games while rendering video with 37 chrome tabs open so I only went with 8GB.
>>52139908
Crocs hahahahah those glasses are perfect for you then.
>>52144055
Most CPUs can handle somewhere around 30GB and I expect RAM demand from games to slowly rise in the upcoming years.
>>52144141
>>>/2012/
>>52144052
Too bad the build quality and wear is below standard, it seems like a really sweet monitor. 1440p is just about the sweet spot for that resolution. I find 1080p to be managable on my 24" IIyama but I'm thinking of getting a 1440 or higher next year if the prices start dropping more (with 4k coming and all).
>>52144211
I meant for that size obviously. I should probably sleep soon.
>>52142906
>Keep in mind the GTX 260 will probably receive driver updates longer than that 380
I switched to the open source "nouveau" drivers recently. Turns out they're fast enough to run the only games I still play. The open source drivers will probably be supported for decades to come.
>>52139908
>crocs
You're all about bad decisions.
>>52144091
I support purchasing SSDs but PCI-E SSDs are shit, unless you use your PC for extreme rendering, tons of complicated shit you never need that kind of storage. 4 second boot time -> 2 1/3 seconds isn't worth
a digital etch-a sketch is all it really was. I never fell in love with the pressure sensitive screen, but it was a great idea though.
>>52144282
I actually wanted the speed for my job, but due to that failure I've never even bothered. Though, OCZ was notorious for being a bad company with bad drives.
Luckily it was only a under progress drive so if I'd use it to actually store data I'd miss a month worth of my work.
>>52144300
Whiteboard with colored markers would do nicely for you anon, you can let your daughter color flowers on it for you too.

The worst part is that it had rave reviews everywhere. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't broken down yet seeing how much it vibrates and how hot it gets. Never again.
Dell Mini 10v netbook, thinking it would be neat to hackintosh it. Only had trouble with the thing:wifi not working, sound not working, trackpad not working. Once I figured out to fix everything, a new update was pushed and made my battery drains 2x faster (according to Mac OS X, i need to replace it even tough it was brand new).
Formatted and installed Linux Mint on it, but it's a pretty useless machine considering my smartphone has better specs.
Also, my first ebay purchase which was a KVM switch, never used it. Hell I don't even know if it's working.

Overclocking your i5 2500K does see significant benefit, extending the viable lifetime of your processor by another 10 years.
>>52144333
Do you regret buying it because you didn't need it, or do you regret buying it because it was shit?
I'm still using an almost identical build (with a 580) and it was (and still is on some games) great.
A HDMI-DVI cable to connect an old monitor to my laptop only to find out it wasn't compatible. On the bright side, it only cost $10.
>>52144770

Isn't that pushing it a little?

I have a 2500k, not yet OC'd (although I played around with it initially). Do you really think I'll still be using it in 2020? Really?

It was an exaggeration. But really, install a 212 and set it to ~4.4GHz and you're golden for the foreseeable future.
>>52144846
I didn't really need it.
Basically, I thought I'd get into the 'gaymen culture'. purchased and built the PC, realised games were a waste of my time and re-purposed the rig to do rendering and numbercrunching.
It was never used for its intended purpose basically.
I'm using it now to type this. It works perfectly (I even cleaned, reseated, repasted the entire thing 2 weeks ago) and runs at 36 degrees with the Hyper212 under like 30%% load.
>>52145004
Holy shit that thing looks ugly. It's like someone frankensteined the screen onto it.

>>52145117
Those Dell Studio pieces of garbage regularly cooked themselves to death if I remember correctly. All I remember is that I had enough people ask me to fix theirs that I stopped offering to do that kind of shit to any of my friends.
I think there was a lawsuit over how shit those things were if that gives you any idea.
>>52145102

I've had it under the heat gun twice now.
I think I'll sell it whilst it's still working.
>>52145165
Okay, thats pretty bad then. I do remember Dell having randomly combusting power bricks back then.
Most mid 00's laptops were pretty shit. I remember my Aspire's hinges just breaking off after 1,5 year despite taking good care of it (they literally just broke off with the screen falling backwards). Thankfully replacement hinges were dirt cheap (probably one of the reasons why the broke off so easily).
You just reminded me of how shit most laptops/pc's were back then. It's like somewhere between 2001 and 2009 manufacturers decided that quality didn't matter anymore. Only the last couple of years notebooks seem to become more durable again.
Bought this shit for $400 when I could've gotten a better experience just spending $10 on a CRT. Why the fuck did I buy this. My HDTV still has horrible input delay anyways. Fuck.
Way too fucking bright. They actually hurt my ears to use them at any usable volume.

An entry-level or mid-range gaming board is guaranteed to be a worse experience than a premium non-gaming board. The fact that the Killer NIC comes standard should be a major giveaway
sold an acer 5750G to barely pay for this shit. your typical acer asperg one with an N26XX Atom and 1gb ram would have been just as good, if not also easier on the batteries. also american keyboard although I'm spanish. seriously what was I thinking.

Their laptops are actually pretty sleek, albeit overpriced and not available in continental Europe. I wanted to get the cheapest model just because it's so slim and looks better than any other laptop with a dgpu, but getting one imported would make it cost as much as a high-end gayming laptop I could buy locally.

If you've ever seen somebody with a usb keyboard placed on top of their laptop's keyboard, they were using one of those old dells. Just about everything in that thing gets fried and needs to be replaced.
I have a friend who had one for a while, by the end of it's life, he had a keyboard on top, a wireless card plugged in, the charger hanging out of the side, and the monitor was broken, so it was left plugged into an old CRT. It was literally the worst laptop I've ever used.

Serious question, what does flux do exactly? For me it just turns my screen orange and gives me a headache until I turn it off.
When I was 12 a Chinese man at a local market stall tricked me into paying $45 (a lot of money then) for a 'Pokemon Card Shiner' that was supposed to be a machine that made my pokemon cards more shiny. The box art was of 2 normal cards going into some machine and coming out shiny as fuck
RAN home and unboxed it and it turned out to be a fucking toaster with a pair of bleach bottles taped to the side. My parents laughed at me and refused to take it back as a 'lesson'.
I still hate chhinks

Makes your screen warmer at night by stripping out blue. You're sleep schedule is affected by the amount of blue light you get, which evolutionarily, implied there's still sun out.
>>52147258
Which is strange, since I sleep less since I use Flux. If anything, this program does nothing but just turn my screen orange.
I used to regret buying a keyboard with MX Red switches pretty badly. Don't know why they market them for any use when they're basically the most ghetto switch you can get, made of 0 feedback deadzone, scratchy plastic, pinging springs and bottoming out.
Then I modded them into ergo clears and everything was good again.
>>52147283

I'd say that warmer light (Red, orange, yellow, etc.) is harder on my eyes as it blurs more towards white. I tend to prefer cooler themes (Black, blue, purple) as they're easier on my eyes, and don't strain them as much.

I could hit like 110 wpm for a short period on the reds but it felt clumsy as hell; in the absence of any useful feedback from the keys even a slight change in posture would fuck things up and it'd be hard to just avoid holdiiiiingggg keys down randomly. And I'm not really the type that can sit still.

Begrudgingly used it until my pre-ordered Steelseries APEX keyboard arrived. Said APEX is still in use right now.

Adjust it so the orange is more subtle, the settings depend on the type of light in your room. And of course, try to avoid using your computer with lights turned off that's a bad idea no matter what. As for the question of what the point is, try turning it on during the day, wait for the sun to go down so that the screen goes orange, use it for an hour or two at night. Then try disabling it. The default blue screen WILL hurt your eyes. This shows you what blue light is doing to your eyes and internal sleep clock in the night time.

>I wonder why the netbook market never took off...
Because Microsoft. They required shit specs for the Windows starter edition or whatever it's called, if the machine's too good it cannot ship with the OS, so most netbooks were shitty by design
LG G2
It was way too big and I hated the buttons on the back. Luckily it had a faulty screen and I got my money back

Out of all of those this is the one that I feel need further explanation.
>>52139908 now that you mention it, I do have this type of glasses but I use it more when I'm typing essays when the screen is primarily white and my eyes are sensitive to the light. I barely wear these for gaming

I regret buying a i7 5820k.
Sold it and came back to my trusty Pentium 4 540 3.2GHz. FEELS GOOD MAN.

>it's okay for everything pre 7th gen
Not him but I had an original Xbox HUEG (still have it) hooked up to an EasyCAP like that.
Holy fuck,it sucked hard. Quality was so bad even 240p was HD for me.
I'm actually happy it broke after a month. I got a Winfast TV2000XP Expert after it,and now it's clear and shiny like 1080p.

They have a mild yellow tint. Just google "computer glasses" and grab a $10 pair. Worst case scenario, you don't like them and are out $10. But if they work it's $10 well spent.
>>52139908
The gunnars are a tad overpriced, but they're reading glasses with a yellow tint (you can do via flux or similar). They have a +0.2 diopter lens to favor vision up closer with less eyestrain and an anti-reflective coating.
If you wear regular glasses though, the gunnars are probably not a fit. If you have myopia (nearsightedness), you can benefit from a set of computer glasses. With correction and no tint, you can easily get a pair of lenses for $150 or less.
I bought beats headphones once...
>>52155493
really, I don't think any headphones sound as good as people claim....or might be just me.
I bought several recommended headphones and they all didn't live up to the hype.I own a pair of Beats and some Sony XB headphones. right now I am iffy about getting the 7506 headphones, but most people here love them.
They are not bad. I just never use them beside the few times I listen to music alone and wants to make the experiense 10 % better.
Should have gotten a Wii U
I never use the touch screen or the pen. I could have gotten a MacBook Air for the same price.
>>52155689
I need to get a wii u.
The only reason I want to get the ps4 is because of uncharted
>>52155724
use apps, some are really convenient
>>52155689
As I WiiU owner, I wouldn't recommend it.
There's an emulator that is developing really fast and can already run certain sequences at 60 FPS.
>>52155217
Why not just turn the screen yellow like with flux does it not do the same thing?
>>52142527
same here, futjitsu siemens with a quad core q8300, didn't even have an independent gpu, 800 euros in 2010.
it's still pretty fast though but god damn it
>>52156978
can you override flux for day use?
Also depending on your job, maybe IT, where you're going to multiple systems, multiple monitors where Flux can't be installed or won't be
>>52139908
I met this guy at a tech conference that wears these (the gunnar ones) full time. He was wearing them not while computing, but while walking around and at a dinner. I thought it was so ridiculous that he was wearing these seemingly full time so I googled him and sure enough he's wearing these in every pic. He's a head infrastructure developer for a very promenent newer tech company.
>>52142268
The 2500k goes for way more used than the 2500, so it's probably worth the extra $10 anyway.
AMD FX8350 with a 7950 gpu. Can't even keep a solid 60 in USF4 at 2080p or csgo at 1080p60, rendering times on videos don't seem much better than your average i5.
ASUS motherboards. I always go with them because they are on sale but they always let me down. Integrated sound is usually the first thing to did, somehow.
Dell venue pro 11. Extremely poor windows performance, extremely poor performance as a tablet, awful battery life even with the keyboard battery attached and charged. Thick, clunky and hard. I got it cheap, at least.

sennheiser 598s
I fell for the open monitor, natural sound meme
turns out even with a decent headphone amp they just have flat, shitty sound with quiet highs and quiet lows, and the mids aren't great either

if you're talking about disabling flux temporarily, you can.

>>52140368
eh it's cool but I still get headaches either way if I am looking between multiple screens
on my laptop it just makes everything look like ass
Logitech G502 Proteus Core which is a good mice. Not sure if I even tested it.
Sure it is a good mice, but once I started using my Razer Mamba Tournament Chroma Wired Gaming Mouse which I brought at the same time (both were on really good offers) I couldn't touch the other mice.
I think I got as far as taking the Proteus Core out of the box and adding the weights.
It was meant for CS:GO, but I haven't touched that since the release and playing Fallout 4...

I paid $1000 for a tablet...
>>52165433
>b-b-but it's a laptop
>>52165433
My problem with this, the note 10.1, the Cintiq 13 and any other stylus based device is that the screen is too small to do any actual design work.
I plan on getting a Yiynova 22u v3 to solve that.
I bought a GTX 770 from a friend who scams random people on Craigslist (he put some old broken computer parts he took from my room into a case and sold them off with other various parts)
I haven't tested it yet (about to in a few minutes), but I'm not so sure about this.
>>52165525
How much did you pay for it?
>>52165997
120 dollars

I just upgraded my prebuilt...though after all the upgrades the case and fans are the only thing thing still stock...and the case really needs an upgrade

ayy, I have one of these. My parents got one and never used it, and then it "broke". Turns out the battery just died. They use a cr2025 coin battery, which is soldered to the board, and I luckily had a few as those are conveniently the same type of battery used in the old pokemon games. I fixed it up and use it to doodle. It's pretty neat, but I'd never pay more than $20 for the thing.

I have f.lux set to stay disabled until around two hours before I go to bed, then it disables again a few hours after I wake up. Most of my time at the computer is f.lux free
>>52139933
No you're not. I had my DV8P for three months before selling it and wishing I kept my Nexus 7. It's too small to be a laptop replacement, and there's too few good apps to make it a good tablet. Ended up buying an iPad Mini 2 to replace it, and while it's not as good as my Nexus 7 was, it was leagues ahead of the Dell.
>>52168218
Not him but the Venue 8 Pro trumps every tablet I've ever owned both Android and iOS
>>52147454
>>52144187
Actually I think it could be the opposite; with faster storage technology (i.e Intel 3D XPoint) RAM may be needed less.
>>52161529
how much did they pay you for this post?
Bose Triports sound nothing but like subwoofer earbuds. Maybe they changed that with their new line of earbuds.
But I must say that the bass was fucking satisfactory. Mine have faulty wires so do anyone know if the new line has the same amount of bass?
I still have them since their launch and they still sound too bassy.
>>52139908
>that cheap packaging
You really fucked up there
>>52168914
How so? The hardware is inferior to similar priced tablets, and the software is terrible for such a small screen. Plus there's the sleep issues that destroy standby battery life. I guess I could understand if you'd used nothing but shitty chink tabs, but the even the iPad blows the Venue away in terms of user experience.
>>52169386
Well I bought it when it first came out, was pretty psyched for an x86 tablet to the point where when I forgot to count tax and didn't put enough money in my account I bought the 32GB model because hyped to buy it
As for resolution, 1280x800 is fine at 8" even with 100% scaling. Now that tablet's gone and I recently picked up a Chuwi Hi8 with a 1920x1200 8" screen and that is too high of a res. 100% scaling and everything's way too small, 150% and shit looks bad, 200 % and everything's huge. Next tablet I get will either be 1280x800 or a resolution that that or a similar resolution scales perfectly to, such as 2560x1600
>>52169503
I was hyped too when I first bought it. Dell had a sale on EBay and I jumped on a 32GB model for $200AUD. Took them a month to ship it be because "they were building it". I used it for a month on 100% scaling and mis-pressed things all the time. On 150% shit was too big. It sat unused for another two months before I sold it. I did recently look at the new Teclast X98 Pro though. That looks interesting, but from my experience, their Android ROM on the dualboot model is dogshit slow.
kind of this.
sadly, despite otherwise being a really nice mouse, it feels uncomfortable in my hand after longer use. can't return it no more so either I'll sell it and get a mionix or keep it and get used to it.
also the surface of the mouse, it's really fucking amazing if you sweat a lot. but at this tiem of year where it's kind of cold and your skin tends to be more dry it doesn't give enough grip. meh.
>>52169654
100% was a bit too small at first bit after using it for a bit I kept it that way. 1920x1200 on the other hand it's impossible, you simply cannot accurately click shit that small
The Fan on my Hyper 212 EVO stopped working
Instead of just buying a Fan or 2 for like nothing
I spent 60€ on a CPU water cooler
I got slightly less temps
uhh the worst 100$ ever the plastic was so cheap. This product was the worst a nigga ever had. I mean your better off with inflight headphones from the economy section of American Airlines. Shit by 3 weeks I had duct tape and shit keeping the crap together cuz plastic/glue was ass

Acer R11. It performed with no issues, the ssd made it lightning fast, and the trackpad is responsive as well as touch pad.
The problem is the screen is a TN and holy fuck it distorts so bad if you're not looking 100% straight at it. If only i could upgrade the fucking screen to IPS it would be perfect.
Any external HDD. Fucking things don't last. Every one I've had has died within 2 years, suddenly becoming inaccessible without warning. Using one to store my photos was a big mistake, lost every last one and could never recover them. One that lasted longer than others (almost 4 years) was a separately bought HDD that I threw into an external enclosure.
