    The game is quite prone to microstutter, no matter how powerful your hardware is. People with SLI 980Tis benchmark at an average of like 200FPS, but still notice stutter when their frame rate drops down to "only" 100FPS. That's just a vsync/game engine issue more than anything. If you cap...

    Well, I turned off the ridiculous hair effects, but other than that I never noticed any stutter anywhere during my 100 hours of playing. FPS might have regularly dropped down into the 40s or something...but that's still smooth. I'm not someone who cares whether I'm at 60fps constantly or...

    I have a very comparable machine, and i5 3570k and 32GB of ram. I currently run a 970 video card and it runs everything great at 1440p. GTA5, Witcher 3, Fallout 4, etc. Everything is silky smooth on full ultra settings. Can't recommend the 970 enough, especially since they can be had for...

    But it's not like Chizik established some sort of great tradition. He got real lucky one year with a player that he bought turning out to be a gamechanger. Honestly, Auburn hasn't had a good head coach since Tuberville. I always liked that guy.

    Just curious as to what Auburns expectations are as a program...would a bad year be anything short of winning the West, or will people be happy with a 8-4, 9-3 type season and finishing 2nd or 3rd in the West? Or, the entire SEC could just hope that the rumors are true that Saban wants to try...

    I have a Costco membership. I honestly don't buy any beef at Costco, because I rarely want to buy it in bulk and freeze it, unless there is a CRAZY sale. I prefer to cook steaks that have never been frozen, so I generally stop by my local supermarket or butcher shop and buy steaks the same day...

    I don't want to get off on a real estate derail in the cooking thread, but the money return on remodels has a lot to do with what part of the country you are in.

    Just "meh" as in it was the most predictable hire. Nothing overly exciting or surprising. "Meh" as in boring, not necessarily bad. Odoms a guy that if he does well, would probably stay here for good(like Pinkel). Had we pulled off a hire like Herman or Fedora, they would have jumped ship...

    Meh, we promoted our defensive coordinator to head coach, Barry Odom(DC for us, and for Memphis under Fuente, and played at Mizzou in the 90s). Probably the best decision, our defense has been elite the last few years, hopefully he keeps the entire defensive staff together. Now, he needs to...
