Only problem with ebay is Irish stuff never sells on it because of the expensive delivery costs

Oh I meant I was just using it as an example. I wouldnt advertise it on eBay

I might wait till I get my 290 and decide on my next step.

I dont normally play MMOs but I thought it was decent.

The Elder Scrolls Online? It looks a bit poor. I think less love has been going into the creation of these games and it's just all about the money with Bethesda and Zenimax now.

I read somewhere they spent $200 mill developing it!

I played for about an hour before I went to bed. Though it was ok, looked pretty, but didn't really grab me. I was more in the mood for some instant actions though so wasn't getting into the story which will make a difference I think, will give it another fews goes over the weekend though!

Well, it's not pay to play material for me, let's hope they do something with the combat, playing with the bow feels so awful

OMG, Nvidia finally sorted out surround monitor drivers! Now I can actually restart my pc and monitors stay in surround! :eek:

I have to admit, EVE online looks Freaking awesome on 3 monitors!

BobbyPropane · 11-01-2014 06:22PM

No depth to the newer Bethesda games e.g Skyrim and TESO. Clearly aimed at a more console market

Great that so many new games are working well in surround out of the box with no tweaking, especially some of the smaller/indie titles e.g. Brothers and Outast.

Fired up FC3 there over xmas, delighted it now works perfectly in surround. First time I played it was on 7970's and it was as buggy as fcuk-missing hud, micro stutter etc.

Worse than that, I'm going to have to be far more discerning in what I buy from now on seeing as I can't offload so easily!

Surely we can have a proper selling section now in here

The free option is still there.If you scroll down on the page where it asks you to select what type of ad you want.

What do you mean the standard free ads or the free item check box?

Headshot · 11-01-2014 09:11PM

sly ****ers have changed the location of the free adverts, thanks lads

I was using a GTX590 recently, and until i got my new 290, a GTX560 as a backup card. Kept having irritating firefox hangs, freezes, system lock ups, with both cards, that I was understandably convinced was either a build problem, and then with new mobo/cpu/ram/hd hardware, a problem with the build of windows. Since installing the 290, have had zero issues in over a month, before it was hanging a few times every browsing session. I have read of Nvidia 5 series issues, but that was totally taking the piss. Browsing the web was a headache the entire time, just waiting for that inevitable hang that had me wandering off to the kitchen for a snack waiting for it to come back.

raymix · 12-01-2014 01:13PM

I am dealing with that now, Terror. Reading that I have to downgrade my drivers to very old ones, couldn't be arsed, tbh

ShadowHearth · 12-01-2014 04:17PM

Well, as much as I love 3 monitors on EVe online, its just annoying to use it for anything else outside of games.

If you full screen youtube video it will go over all 3 monitors and keep other two just pure black... If you play 1080p on one screen it turns off another 2....
Defeats the whole purpose of multimonitor setups. I love playing DayZ and having map on second screen and netflix on third one lol.

Had to revert it back to 3x1080p for all multitasking. Might get Catleap down the line after all. The amount of extra screen in EVE was just way too good.

I cant easily switch from 3x1080p in to surround as it completely messes around with my system.

ShadowHearth · 12-01-2014 09:08PM

I wonder if they will keep updating Windows to 8.99 or finally release proper non Tablet non castrated, proper desktop windows 9.

MRTULES · 12-01-2014 09:09PM

Pcfritz was doing it cheap enough awhile ago. I think it was someone on here that mentioned it.

Yeah I had a look at pc fritz but im not sure if its english version.

The product page says mutilanguage but the specs list it as dutch I think. Was unsure about that.

It is only €40 for home premium, thats without delivery though

Nice price on pro.

Anybody use them before? Id prefer just a serial key but if I cant find one, pcfritz looks the way to go.

Pissed off, going from two high end pc's before xmas, too selling all my main cards 2*7970's and a gtx 670 to fund a 290x and waterblock and now for last week i'm stuck on a standard dell laptop with the 290x being bust and no cards for other pc's (waterblock arrived also to make it worse :P)

. Not able to play games now (At least came at probably most useful time (college exams all week so no games to distract me :P ).
Just hope i'm not screwed on the RMA.

Revoker88 · 12-01-2014 09:28PM

Was the seller on adverts no help with the 290x man?
I know you buy at own risk but surely he should have refunded you after such a short time
