My boss said "Whatt....what happened?" because right before I hollered out "Yessssss"!!!

Very nice for people that like that controller, or don't want to buy a 360 Wired controller (still the GOAT.)

You can still just plug in the controller without the adapter.

I've used my old wired 360 for PC gaming for what seems like forever. I need to try the DS4 out.

I have a wireless 360 controller with adapter but I feel the PS4 controller is far superior in my opinion. I also use it literally every night on PC while streaming(Rocket League) BUT its always teethed by a cord, I HATE this. So yes, this is a HUGE announcement for me, DS4 + Wireless on my PC = Huge win!

I like the new layout. You can finally stream to Youtube. Also you can finally stream to Twitch and Youtube in 1080p 60fps.

I had to uninstall the beta. When recording with Shadowplay, it always recorded mic input, regardless of settings. Hopefully that's fixed.

1080 Ti rumored specs leaked

According to the leak, the 1080 Ti will sport 52 streaming multiprocessor units, down from the Titan X's 56, and 3,328 CUDA cores, not far off from the Titan X at 3,584 and considerably more than the plain GTX 1080 at 2,560.

The GTX 1080 Ti is clocked faster than the Titan X with base and boost clockspeeds of 1,503MHz and 1,623MHz, respectively, compared to 1,417MHz and 1,531MHz. It all translates into 10.8 TFLOPs of compute power, just under the Titan X's 11 TFLOPs.

I just don't like that they aren't going to use the faster GDDR5X memory but instead using the slower GDDR5.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I think I'm going to Microcenter this weekend for a new video card. Do y'all recommend the 8GB RX480 or 6GB GTX1060? I'd like to stay below $300, especially since both cards look like they can play every new game at 1080p on ultra/high.

EDIT: I should mention, it may be time to upgrade more than just my GPU. I'm running a i5-3570K w/ MSI 7850 (2GB) and Samsung RAM (8GB). I still think the GPU is what's needed first though.

My personal preference would be the 1060. I just like the way Nvidia handles game ready drivers and that the cards generally run cooler. I've only run into one time from memory where I had a driver issue and had to roll back on my nvidia cards.

Really it's up to you. I think the 1060 is a heck of a deal for the price they have it at.

Thanks for the input.

Looking at the local Microcenter's inventory, they have plenty of each in stock. The 1060's are $289.99 and the RX 480's are $279.99. I realize Nvidia typically handles drivers better, but I feel like AMD cards are more "future proof".

Just realized your location! Hello fellow Miami Valley resident.

You going to the Sharonville store? Those people are super helpful in store as well and might be able to give you some more advice also.

Good to be here! Just moved here from Hawaii. It is the Cincy/Sharonville store! Glad to hear they are helpful. I haven't been able to make it down there yet, but hopefully in the next week or so.

Add me on Steam sometime and we'll do some gaming.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Can someone please explain something to me? I was looking around Steam at the players with the highest levels and noticed this person (http://steamcommunity.com/id/LunaKittyS) has played 6,793.3 hours past 2 weeks. How in sam hell is that possible? Do people in Italy live in a different dimension?
