My last few GPUs were ATI because they had better performance for the dollar. I haven't had any driver issues in any games i've played going back as far as i can remember. The fx series still isn't that bad when it comes to value. I used to own one, and they aren't bad processors for the...

I had a cel 433 around that time. Before that i had a k6-2 300 oc'd to 366 or 400, i don't remember. Brings back memories. Best one though is the first time i got a voodoo 2 running i was floored. I remember buying it at electronics boutique. Celerons, geforce 2 mx, and the k6-2s were...

This isn't 3d TV because the possible killer apps are too numerous. From schooling (like medical school) to arcades and military simulations. The screen tech is just now reaching a point of potential. Processing power is almost there for a mass market appeal. Though PCs are probably strong...

I would agree the gaming sites could have handled this a lot better. I remember when all the articles popped up, out of the blue, and confused the hell out of me. It seemed so out of character and strange. "what the hell is gaming culture and why do you, or i care, and why is it dead?"...

I've been playing games for about 20 years. I've read all kinds of reviews from all kinds of magazines and sites. I have noticed the last few years how games get lambasted for being "misogynistic". But i dont understand what the big deal is. Even in games that have larger than life...

It took FOREVER for 2 cores to be useful for games. Now we're up to 4, and even 8 being handy in some cases. Heck, we're just now getting to the point of games actually taking decent advantage of 64 bit OSs. That took what, 10 years? In my opinion, AMD abandoned their new architecture...

The pc market hasn't been large enough to really support 2 players for some time now. Because of this, intel has seen little need to do anything but move things forward at a snails pace. AMD will put out another x86, and it'll probably be a grand improvement over the old design at some...

I could see this being a hot cakes christmas item and something that sells out. My kids and all their friends want one. What they need is good xbox/ps4 compatibility with either the occulus, or their own in house tech.

To echo others this isn't new, and it makes a lot of sense. It's been theorized for some time now that things are "wrong" in the universe. The easy explanations, and probably the most logical are that we're living in a simulated universe or some other high order type situation is going on...

Their engine didn't quite catch on like epics or even the unity engine. Ryse was released for a console that didn't have the penetration to get them mega hit COD like status. Cryteks failure, at least from what i've seen over the years was going too big too fast. They should have...

Years ago when MS PR would get a fire under their ass i'd think "oh cool, finally some new MS PC games coming!" Now when I see a quote like this it strikes me as pathetic. PC gaming continues to live (or thrive, depending on your view) despite Microsofts poor management of the ecosystem...

If windows was free in the future for desktops, with the caveat i had to use bing (or it shoved itself at me) I MIGHT consider it. But really, microsoft has screwed up in so many ways for so many years the company is lost.

I bought an xbox 1 with the titanfall bundle (more for future games that anything current.) Personally, the i think kinect is still wonky as hell. It's a fantastic idea, but something like occulus is FAR more interesting to me. I think they were always trying to attract the "Casual"...

I had the same issue with a biostar board that (to my horror) came with no vrm cooling at all. I didn't even notice until I saw the cpu auto throttling under p95. The CPU was an AMD 750k.

It's not just AMD's falling behind but there's less and less performance to be eked out of current designs. Not to mention the very real barrier of reality. Diminishing returns have been plaguing the CPU market for some time, and the fact that now things are just so expensive to design for a...
