Normal Google Chrome (always updated to latest version) in Windows 7

do you have any chrome extensions for blocking ads or something? I don't know if it that would cause the blank areas or what.

that's tapacrap doing that. Pause your adblock try it on a desktop and reload the page when you get a chance. See if it's thinking that is an advertisement? I'm guessing almost anything it's that.

"We are aware of user reports of an incompatibility when plugging HTC Vive into GeForce GTX 1080 using the DisplayPort connector. HTC and NVIDIA are investigating the issue. In the interim, we recommend users connect HTC Vive to the HDMI port on GeForce GTX 1080," said Bryan Del Rizzo, Senior PR Manager, Consumer Products.

your next card?

your next card?

Go big or go home. I would get a 1070 or 1080.

Naw I'm kidding. From the specs the 1060 is a beast of a card. I'm not sure why they would do that.. Makes less people buy the 1070/1080.

My buddy might upgrade to the 1060/1070 or 1080 and sell his card (same exact card as me. GTX 970 FTW)

Wait for AMDs next enthusiast card. Even if it doesn't destroy the 1080 it'll drive the price down.

Pretty sure the R9 400 series was just announced, and is slated for release.

They will release a competitive card with the 1080 this year too. Or at least announce one.

Yeah but how long will that take to decrease the prices...

Like a month or two after launch usually. Don't have any evidence but thats what it seems to be for me when reading up on this stuff.
