I haven't heard anyone else mention experiencing anything like this in conversation, so I figured I'd ask around here. Lately, over the last few months—and actually more frequently recently—this strange thing has been happening to me. Basically, during almost any stage of waking up, whether I wake up on my own or someone shakes me awake, I "wake up" and become fully aware of everything around me, but my body is still technically asleep. I can't move my arms or legs (it feels like they have zero strength), and I can't even pry my eyelids open (though I can see a bit when they are slightly squinted)... and sounds seem muffled too. After a little while, when I try to move my hands, they start to twitch slightly. I can't say for sure how long it lasts, but if I'm waking naturally, maybe 2 to 3 minutes, and if someone wakes me, it's less than a minute. At first, I was totally panicking, but now it’s just become part of my routine, though it’s definitely not normal. I'm thinking my chronic sleep deprivation might be the culprit. Should I go see a doctor? Has anyone else dealt with something similar?
keyboard, and I'm a little confused—what does "6-key anti-ghosting" actually mean? Does it mean I can hit any six keys at once, or is it just limited to those red ones?
I'm just wondering if my PC will recognize those buttons as axes when I have the joystick set to analog mode. Everything else seems easy enough to tweak in the game settings
I'm looking at picking up a joystick (like this one ) and I was wondering—if I only press the trigger halfway, will I get half throttle in racing games? It's for my PC. I'd mostly use the sticks for steering, but being able to control the gas precisely is a huge deal for me. Also, does anyone have recommendations for a joystick that actually handles throttle input well? Thanks in advance!
crimsonstag84 said:The first three are all pretty similar, following this order: 6570-5670-6670. The Radeon HD 5750 (or 6750) really stands out because it's much stronger—maybe 20-30% better—and you can usually find one for just a little more $200 so I'd personally go with that. It would pair perfectly with your processor, plus you have a decent power supply 🙂
Thanks for the reply, I put the 5750 on my shortlist because I saw some great deals on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s?k=hd5750 specifically looking at this Sapphire Pulse model. So, there's an option slightly below that too $167. My only worry is that it's a dual-slot card, which means it might sit right next to my TV tuner card. Would the fan struggle to get enough air, or am I overthinking it? How risky is that? If it runs hot, it’ll probably get noisy... and I really like how quiet my PC is right now, so I'd rather not mess with that.
Hey everyone, I'm looking to pick up a new graphics card. Here are my current specs: ASUS Motherboard Intel E5200 (overclocked to 3.5GHz) 2 x 1 GB RAM (800MHz) GTX 1050 A few hard drives... Corsair 380W TV tuner card (PCI)
I'm aiming for a price range between $60 and $90. Ideally, I'd love a single-slot card since I'm using a PCI slot and want to make sure there's enough airflow, plus nothing too loud—it doesn't have to be passive, just something with adjustable fan speeds.
So far, I've found a Radeon HD 5670, Radeon HD 6570, Radeon HD 6670, and a Radeon HD 5750. Which one offers the best bang for my buck? My main focus is gaming.
Does anyone know roughly how much of an FPS boost I'd get switching from an 8600GT to a 5670? It doesn't have to be exact—maybe just a ballpark figure so I know what to expect.
The 400W power supply that came with my case isn't exactly top-tier. E5200 @3.75 GHz 2GB 800MHz DDR2 G31M-ES2L 8600GT
If I pick up a new graphics card, how much of a speed boost am I actually looking at compared to what I have now? I also read somewhere that models using GDDR5 memory are way faster... Would it be worth it to grab one with 1 GB of GDDR?
I'm currently running an 8600GT and it’s holding up okay for now, but I’m planning to bump my resolution from 1280x1024 up to 1080p and start using higher-res textures, so I definitely need an upgrade. Looking for something in the $500-$200 range.
Casey Long2 said:It’s not that there aren't expensive keyboards out there that can handle it. You really have to look at high-end gaming models for stuff like that. The Logitech G Pro features anti-ghosting (though I'm not sure exactly how many keys it covers—usually just WASD or those surrounding them), the Corsair K70 does too...
I can hit five keys at once on my laptop and everything works perfectly (like right now: Q, W, E, Y, and C). As soon as I let go of one, it registers instantly. But on my desktop, if I try more than two keys, it just fails immediately. At least the laptop screen isn't tiny...
My laptop keyboard lets me mash a bunch of keys at once without any issues—like hitting Q, W, and X all together—but my desktop setup just isn't cutting it. It usually ignores some of the keys if I press too many at once. Does anyone know where I can find an affordable keyboard that actually supports this kind of rollover?
