Any of you fools have this on pre-order? It's in my Steam wishlist so I can keep an eye on it; Amazon tentatively had a January shipping date if I...
Alright, I've completed both the first and second playthroughs of BL1 and I'm pretty happy with it. Happy enough that I'm now waiting for it to go...
I may be wearing red-tinted glasses (pun intended) but I recall AMD / ATI having this "challenge" for many generations. I specifically recall the...
Ugh. Decades have been spent watching television in "480i" or less, with very "realistic" results. What makes something look realistic is not...
Clickbait, as are most "rumors" of this type. Just my opinion, of course.
Alright, any chance you're both using Windows as your browser OS? I've got a properly functioning L2TP + IPSec VPN tunnel that works directly with...
My first attempt will be to provide an alternate DNS to use, in case that's how your respective countries are enforcing the block. However, I have...
I finally have a house now :D There are still issues with obtaining internet at this house, but those will be solved quite soon. I'll get started...
I do not have a specific use case, but this is still awesome :)
Boooooo!! (I love that movie :D ) I'm now on the second playthrough for Borderlands 1. My opinion of it has increased significantly, if only...
There are RealTek cards that support the 5GHz spectrum but they do not show up often in the smallest tablets. I've grown to despise the Marvel...
That's pretty nuts. Do you have someone here in the States that might stand up a simple proxy DNS structure for you? In another month or so,...
Indeed, the fanless Broadwell is doing insane things in the ULP space, and I too am now very curious as to how this foreshadows Baytrail's...
Dang, I've completely lost touch with the Humble Bundles as of late. I'm posting in here from work so that I remember to come back and check this...
Sigh. No, it isn't. But your continually defense posture will only ever let you see anything we give you as "an attack", so I'm simply not going...
[I tossed this into the Hardware & Software forum because, at its core, I feel like this is hardware and software :D - Mods, feel free to punt if...
Yeah, when you get a seriously good gun, it's a lot of fun. The challenge comes when you're too dependent on that killer weapon and then get into...
Just checking out the new deal. Will take some time to get used to...
I've had a few weeks to kick the tires, and I find the first one to be "alright". The guns are cool, the graphics are good for the era, and the...
Sigh. You're asking questions that have do not have answers, because you're asking broken questions. That's what Dominik is trying to tell you,...
If I recall, some of the really old games were wrapped in DosBox (or similar), I believe they either had a licensing deal or else it was allowed...
There is one thing in my household that utterly destroys all 2.4GHz band traffic - my daughter's video surveillance baby monitor thingy. My...
At the moment, I have all that equipment in an apartment building with about ~30 other AP's within "hearing range" of my gear. (I'm in corporate...
I've got my own SOHO wireless infrastructure at home; I can do quite a bit of testing with 2.4Ghz vs 5Ghz bands and streaming across them both....
Tossed Win10 TP onto my HyperV host, worked right out of the gate. Also tried building a Win10ToGo key, but it seems they're doing a better job...
:D No worries.
Oooh wait, Borderlands two??? I thought you only had SR4! I will love you long time for some Borderlands :grin: I just bought the first one a few...
I had a bit of trouble interpreting your message, but I think you're agreeing with me? :D Seriously, this thing completely crushes that segment....
Ah, only after I typed in the title did I find the Pre-Sequel thread over in the gasp, cough, gag Console Games forum. Barf. I'm posting here...
I'm thinking of something else entirely... BayTrail and the integrated HD4500 graphics, even in the lower class model, should be able to do H.264...
Wow, holy shit. I'll buy the 64 bit variant if it's worth any amount of damn when it comes out, if for no other reason then just to mess with it.
Ah yes, but all in the name of standards: "We only buy this configuration." Yeah, a $12,000 configuration that doesn't meet the needs of 80% of...
My intention was not to be inflammatory, rather to clear up a misunderstanding that seems to pervade a lot of minds in the x86 world. I do...
Your statement was that ipc had not changed since the C2D days, I have demonstrated that claim to be incorrect. You point out cache differences as...
I think it's better than you realize. The Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33Ghz was basically the fastest and latest model dual core of that era. I chose...
Yeah, GTA4 was pretty shite regardless of platform, that was the series low point for me. I'm quite hopeful for the PC port of GTA5 though. I've...
I really love the original Crysis. Even the original FarCry has held up pretty well over the years (too many people bitch about the monkeys, but...
As you later discovered, the size does not necessarily need to match. The performance is best with matched sizes, but is still "better" with even...
Exactly matching sticks for multi-channel memory configs have not been needed for an incredibly long time, since at least the 965 chipsets of...
I'm happy that 4K rez TV's are hitting the market and driving prices down, so that I can buy an enormous and high quality 1080P TV for even less...
No problems so far *finding wood to knock on*... Still performs like a rock star too :)
Sure, but you're talking eight very low performance (in a relative sense) cores on a console, versus four very high performance cores PLUS SMT...
I feel like I should drop in here and add my $0.02... I bought a 3930k when the C2 stepping first came out. I went batshit crazy with it: 32GB...
Not quite the same, but I had a chance to play with Steam's in-home streaming last night. Loaded up my "Big Rig", and then loaded the Steam...
Back during the Steam Christmas sale (!) I bought FarCry 3 and FarCry 3 - Blood Dragon. I actually started it once before, got to the uPlay...
Let's be honest, I have no "consumer" need for six 240GB SSD's in RAID0 on a dedicated RAID card either, but damned if I don't have that setup...
Nom nom nom nom!! ;) I'm still leaning towards a PCI-E native solid state storage medium for my next rig. Get rid of that SATA interface...
Grall, thanks for the link! I had long since forgotten TechReports torture test; the results are eye opening!
Other than a bunch of benchmark screenies, I didn't see anyone really talk about the situation of broadband availability for the masses here in...
For the life of me, I've googled about a hundred permutations of rank, channel, DDR3, benchmark, -forum, -haswell, and I cannot find whatever that...
