Just ordered a XB1, but i have a PS4, Wii U and my Fios. Currently i'm using my receiver as a bypass for everything. I heard the XB1 can be used as a bypass, so i was going to run my Fios though the XB1 for the TV functions.

So PS4 and WiiU into Reciever and Fios into XB1 then into Receiver was my planning. Is this how the XB1 works? Just curious on your guys' setup trying to find a clean wire connection to hook everything up.

Also, how much heat does it produce, a have a space kinda tight but ventilated, may have to move some major stuff around. Any help would be great. thanks

Thanks. I'm excited. In between games at the moment. Feels good to have lots to play, a fresh experience, and the time to play them.

I'm back bouncing between 2 to 3mbs. I'm happy again.

Downloading 18 gigs of halflife ATM, I normally max speed out at 3mbs, but all of a sudden it went to 100kbs. I noticed a drop in speed late in my skyrim DLoad too. Does steam start capping speed on larger files, or do the servers slow that much during high traffic? Nothing has changed on my end.

Anyway, just curious if anyone knew how steam does their server speed. Thanky you for your time.

Never played the half life series. (new to PC gaming) So i bought everyone for $10.

I'm a new PC gamer, so i just Steam for Civ 5 when it was released. So far about $200, and i just picked of 11 halflife games for $10

I did run it again with direct x10 and almost got 10 fps better. Either way, i wasn't trying to claim it was a high end GPU just that it wasn't as bad as some are saying. My two heaviest games im getting is Elder scrolls and Diablo 3. Outside of that i should be good.

A little slow but i had settings up. And yes i ran crysis, infact i just did the benchmark at 1920x1280 on very high settings 8xAA.. no issues at all

yeah. i'll try those out. I wish i could see what frame rate i was getting on crysis. As i play it, i see no issues at all maxed. I don't plan on doing heavy graphics gaming anyways, but i would like to know how far it can go. What i have is fine for my needs, i just hear everyone poo pooing the GT530, but i see no issues so far.

had no trouble with the stone giant maxed. not much with that, but look around. You want pics? will that really show you anything? wish i had a video capture card. Guess i'm looking for something that will give me a grade.
