    Logitech G19

    in Hardware and software discussion

    Posted · Edited by Nysba

    I had the image of G15 having that too, only being a bit cheaper. Don't know if it's cheaper or not but just a guess

     

    E: Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind paying that money for it. Not in my situation atm, with my money, but if I had money to buy something computer-related, then I might actually buy it. I'd still rather get the G15 which would probably be cheaper

     

    From a thread on overclock.net:

    "G15 has an LCD + Orange Leds and its smaller + cost cheaper does what its supposed to just like the G19.

     

    G19 has a color LCD with multi color back-lighting with more macro keys and is a little bigger + cost more."

    I would TOTALLY..not buy that. The G19 is like 130-150€ here, 150€ is about 214 USD, 200 AUS.

    Even if that was half the normal price I wouldn't buy it since there's lots of other things to buy with that sort of money.

    I have yet to come across a keyboard with such features that I would pay more than 100€ for. But of course I don't know too much about the G19 but I doubt it would be too different.

    Mice, on the other hand... or shall I say RATs? :D

     

    I say nay

    Graphics Cards

    The 6990 (and 590) is in a completely different category when it comes to overkill than the GTX 580.

    There's no reason to get it and it shouldn't be even considered by anyone who doesn't actually need it for their job or smthing.

    imo it is for 3d multi monitor gaming. You will need at least 2GB vram for virtually any sort of multi monitor gaming. Add 3d into the mix and you will basically be pushing the card pretty far.

    lol, didn't think of that

    Ok, maybe in that kind of an extreme case someone could actually think about buying it without being crazy, or if they are extreme enthusiasts and want big, big benchmark scores

    But I'll always assume people don't have that setup unless they say so

    GTX 580 is overkill, but if you've got a lot extra money you can solely dedicate on buying a new graphics card, sure, go ahead and buy it.

    For good performance but still fairly cheap, check out the HD 6950.

    For a little extra cash over the 6950, the 6970/GTX 570.

    But I think the 560 Ti is decent too.

    The 6950 is in the 250 dollar range AFAIK, so if you get even more extra money you could buy another one for crossfire, which should have you set for any games for a while.

    Diablo 3 Beta is OUT!

    "The 3rd quarter reference in the earning's call today was a calendar quarter, meaning that we're aiming to launch the Diablo III beta between July 1st and September 30th. Keep in mind that it's our current goal, and of course that can change as development continues."

     

    So yes, the beta isn't actually out yet

     

    btw this was posted on the Blizzard forums on May 9th so plans might have changed

    To OC or not to OC

    I cant belive nobody asked him what CPU does he use ,cuz if he use old Phenom series 1 not Phenom2 i wouldnt OC that cuz you wont reach more than 3.0.

    Plz download yourself CPU-Z and post all CPU details , also model of your MBO and what CPU cooler you use , and model of your PSU unit then you can start asking questions should i OC or not.

    Also BIG factor in OC will have does your CPU have unlocked multyplier or not.

    In the starting post:

    "I have been toying with the idea of over clocking my CPU, a AMD Phenom X4 2.6Ghz."

     

    And I think this was already decided, that he can't OC without paying money he doesn't have, or am I mistaken?

    Looks like a perfect game for me, getting kinda bored of minecraft right about now (read: over 9000 hours ago)

    And the amount videos already on Youtube about this makes me want to boycott it :D Not that I'm going to

    The idea of your characters appearance changing throughout the game sounds good. As an idea.

    Scarring like that and getting huge would totally ruin it. It has to be done by small changes. Maybe growing hair and beard and stuff like that. Bruises that go away in time.

    Not something that completely changes the way your character looks permanently.

    First things first, are you using the stock cooler? The one that came with the CPU. If you haven't changed it to something better, I really doubt you can get any good clocks without going overboard with the temperatures.

    I don't know about AMD CPU's, so look around google and try to find the max temperatures your CPU can handle. Then check what temperatures you're getting now, with a stress-test program such as Prime95 or something similar.

    And again, ask google what a good cooler would be, the NH-D14 comes to mind first, a massive top-of-the-line cooler.

    CPU really depends very little on the case cooling afaik. Although if there's no airflow whatsoever, it'll hurt the temperatures. But yeah, that case looks fine.

     

    And if you do decide to overclock, make sure to read guides and don't just go straight ahead and increase the clocks and voltage way too far

    $686.90 for a GPU isn't that pretty much a overkill? also is 6750 better than 6870? because it's just 224.99 in amazon and has a pretty decent heat sink for msi. :S also isn't Intel Core i5 2500K be better for support if after 3 years I decide to just update my GPU? :S

     

    Also my real plan is really 1k+ I'm just saying $700 is all I have right now.

    I think he meant i3-Sandy Bridge cpu (3.1 GHZ), 4GB DRR3 1600 RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and a Radeon 6750 graphics card for the 686$ in total

     

    As far as I know, Intel's coming out with some new chipset this year/next year, so I kinda doubt that there will be too many GOOD CPU's to upgrade to on the LGA 1155, 3 years from now. Which the 2500K is. It's still a good CPU, no doubt.

    You should also consider the HD 6950

     

    And tbh, it's pretty much impossible to predict what will be good/decent in 3 years, unless you compare to what speed the technology has improven in the last 10 years.
