Eh the 7500 was a 2001 chip. The original Radeon was released in mid 2000 and typically came clocked at 166 MHz and could not run asynchronously...
I beat it on nightmare. That was my second or third play through. That's when I got the alien deaths achievement. ;) Resources are scarce, the...
I really don't see Soma and Amnesia as that different. The setting and story are of course vastly different, but the mechanics of the play,...
Did you get the 100 deaths-by-Alien achievement yet? ;)
I thought the opt out was there because of the complaints about the game being too scary. Like with Alien Isolation's novice mode addition. There...
I'm almost finished with yet another play of the game. Calling it an authentic experience is spot on indeed. Let me plug SOMA here too. If you...
The Vita version looks like it's from the PS2 era. I wonder how this conversation would go if the Switch version was 60 fps but had no detail...
A15 was the big step up in power consumption and performance. They were so much faster than the A9 SOCs. Night and day. They still feel pretty...
errr nevermind. Exophase beat me to it.
I'd wait for a bit until everything settles. You know there will be buggy BIOSs and microcode tweaks for awhile. Hopefully no hardware defects...
One might also be reminded also of AMD Phenom's core parking and thread scheduling problems. In XP you have to just disable CnQ or performance...
No I mean to say that the A53s are just not available. In other X1 devices they are disabled at boot.
The A53s? AFAIK they simply can't be used if the A57s are active. X1 doesn't have big LITTLE or companion core features. It is a strange aspect...
Maybe it's related to that "get a win or get out" line I saw in the Tegra thread regarding Nvidia's Tegra division not exactly getting many wins....
It's interesting to see how much hardware information we're getting about this thing. No secrets really. Not like the Wii U. The battery life...
That just sounds like Nintendo should have targeted a higher frame rate when they chose the graphics complexity for that configuration. Maybe...
So, anyone care to explain why this game is better than the original? I don't really care what the reviewers said or some Youtube dudes spewed...
I think it has always been on Cryengine. idTech 5 is basically in house. Bethesda is their publisher. I imagine that's partly why Dishonored 2...
The game was pretty but it's brain dead gameplay.
Well for me the original game was so boring and overhyped that I can't stomach even looking at the sequel. But I did look at the sequel now and...
If VR actually manages to go somewhere. :) Some hardware companies are jumping behind it but I'm not sure consumers or game companies are.
I've heard on teh intarwebz more than a few times that those multi-driver phones are silly gimmicks. But you say you really liked them?...
I think the industry should just go back to end-of-level passwords. :)
I finally tried a Rift. My local Best Buy is running a demo now. I was surprised how low resolution the displays appeared. Even my non-techie...
A popular form of clickbait article. I sometimes use these silly lists to figure out new games to try though.
NV's prior inability to produce a complete SOC (with competitive CPUs) seemed to be why AMD won with PS4 and XBO. The AMD route must have been...
Damn. You guys love to speculate. G80 in PS3. Oh boy. I would have loved to see the cooling and price on that. 360 would have been a sad joke...
I keep posting this - Microsoft has used NVidia in various Surface devices. They just launched that Surface Book with the custom-configured GM206...
I've been using Opera on Android for years. I see it as the better Chromium option. ;) It's fast and it has the right features for me. Firefox...
I have a gaming HTPC with a 5.1 channel setup through receiver. It's mostly used for entertaining guests. Lots of Alien Isolation and RE7 sorts...
I have a X-Fi Titanium in my desktop. I was using the Daniel_K pack but with Win10 it seems like the drivers Creative has for download are best....
The 3.5 GB stricken GTX 970 looks pretty good though.
I like A3D. I think it's a bit overrated really but it's pretty cool what it can do with headphones or stereo speakers. I also like what EAX can...
I use Chrome, Firefox, IE and Edge without any drama. Mostly Firefox.
Yeah that i5 is probably a response to AMD. Maybe it's an indicator of where their best offering generally sits. It's going to be interesting.
Usually people just rag on about how awful some of the areas look. It's refreshing to see appreciation for the stunning work otherwise seen in...
Hey let's not forget that Rage, Wolfenstein The New Order, The Evil Within and Dishonored 2 are all similar in technology and have some great...
Yeah I run a DP + DVI setup and the DVI is active during boot. I do suspect it's BIOS related. My board is a Z68 and barely supports EFI. Etc....
I have read Arkane started from scratch. It sounds like what Bethesda did with Doom. Bethesda felt Prey 2 was going nowhere so they canned the...
idTech6 might just be too new. I'm somewhat surprised it's not using Arkane's "Void" aka reworked idTech5. I'm glad it's not.
Apparently it's built on CryEngine. https://www.gamerzunite.com/prey-2-wont-have-problems-on-the-pc
Hmmm well I have a pair of 1070s myself and I play a lot of old and indie games and I haven't had any problems. I don't play Warframe or GW2...
It looks pretty wild. Lots of new ideas going on in that gameplay. It has a sort of Bioshock + Dead Space feel too.
I'm surprised SB bought a NVidia card. He's usually rather negative about the company. ;) Doesn't GW2 have a history of technical quirks?...
Because Witcher, Assassin's Creed and Shadow of Mordor aren't really my thing, I will mention that the highlights of the past half year for me...
Played hours of RE7 without issue on 980M and 1070. That's why I got these drivers. Malo that's sounds like HDMI? I have a HTPC and HDMI audio...
I saw Capcom patched the upcoming RE7 for Phenom support. Dishonored 2 as well received a patch for them. There was a thread on B3D here about...
She needs to rock a leather jacket like Jen-Hsung. Or maybe she should go for an Eliza Cassan look and one up him....
Undervolting the SP4 CPU and IGP gets a bit more sustained performance. Throttlestop is the least intrusive way to go. I also run Rivatuner...
