    1440 30” 144hz+ monitor; is it a good time to upgrade or wait for later this year?

    I honestly had not looked up the monitor. But after looking into it the 100Hz is 'overclocked' whatever Asus means by that. And is only doable with hardware that is at or above a geforce 980ti. So I don't even know if it's a true 100hz refresh. Unless they 'unlock' that rate based on hardware...

    1440 30” 144hz+ monitor; is it a good time to upgrade or wait for later this year?

    Without the ops actual reply we won't know, but I believe from that statement that he just means that size or larger display with a higher refresh rate. My guess is either 144, 160, or 240 was seen/played at a friend's house. Considering the op has a 32 inch screen with 1440p resolution I'd...

    Would You Consider RUST to be a rpg?

    I haven't played Rust, but unless it has some sort class system, skill trees of some kind, or some sort 'stats' that get updated upon 'leveling' I would say no. Roleplaying games have at least 2-3 of those elements if not more. If you cannot gain 'experience' points then definitely not...

    StarCraft II - king of the competitive RTS

    The Zerg is actually a great race to play. I've recently gotten better. But if get rushed by 'rines it's over. You can counter but better have enough hives to overwhelm. And never under estimate the usefulness of upgrades. Great micro with upgrades can turn the tide.

    Giveaway Win an epic DOOM Edition HERO Series Gaming Chair from noblechairs and PC Gamer!

    I wouldn't call my chair a 'gaming' chair. It's like the chair Quasimodo used to get his hump in his back. There are no arm rests, no lumbar support, and it is definitely not ergonomic. The cloth is worn and has the color appeal of depression. It's so bad Google removed any reference of it...

    Need help choosing PC Desktop (iBUYPOWER)

    Get the 1st one listed if you want to play cyberpunk. If money isn't an issue then the 2nd. Don't bother with the 3rd. The 1st one will do what you want. The 2nd will too, but a much higher cost.

    The last game you completed

    I honestly don't remember the last game I completed. It was a while ago. I mostly play multiplayer games. But with that being said it was probably Tomb Raider on the Xbox 360 (2013 reboot), yeah not PC 😅🙄 And it was a pretty good. I thought it was pretty short, but it had a great balance of...

    Giveaway We're giving away 30 copies of Risk of Rain 2! Enter here!

    I like the idea of the replayability via randomized maps. I also am curious about the lore of the game. Honestly I didn't play the first one, but perhaps playing this one will open me up to a new world.

    StarCraft II - king of the competitive RTS

    If a game has a large enough following and it makes money it'll continue to get support. Gotta keep the bean counters happy. I played last night and immediately went from bronze to silver after one match. And frankly the other team a noob player so they got creamed. But I'm sure there is way...

    Thank you so much! My kids love games. My 9yr old started off with a tablet at about 2 1/2 just using touch as well. I showed it to him as more off an experiment. Then when he was about 3 1/2 we got him a nambi. My 4yr old wants to play Minecraft but with console controls he isn't really able...

    Question PC Gamer Reader Awards - vote for your favourite mouse maker!

    I have what I'll term a 'special' mouse by Logitech. It is a mouse that I've had since my earlier days of gaming. Harkening back a good 13 years at least. A good 'ol Logitech G5. Here is one on eBay for $275.00 I'd like to try a Csair or Razor at this point. Just to see what they have to...
