So much debate about Fallout 4 performance here. A literal potato can play 90% of FO4 at 60fps but not even an i9-9900K could break 5fps in that one part of the city when you exit the Railroad hideout.

If the prom queen was only 12% prettier than her sister but still felt the need to airbrush the family photos...

There are only so many ways to make a rounded rectangle with a screen on one side.

Bit the bullet and Craigslist'ed the cheapest SATA HDD I could find - a 500GB laptop drive. Installed and it worked at expected speeds as did its permanent replacement 1TB WD Blue.

Solved. HDD was faulty in spite of OK report from SeaTools.

I checked and have two "Standard SATA AHCI Controller". The same as my other PCs. I only took pictures of the screen because the PC is not connected to a network currently.

AHCI

Prefer pickup in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Posting here for a wider audience If price + shipping fits the budget that works for me. Looking for a CPU+motherboard combo for my dead/dying HTPC. Budget $50-$80. Also have 4x2GB DDR2-800 for trade. Motherboard: MATX or smaller form factor. CPU: Just...

In some alternate reality, Nintendo's SNES "PlayStation" CD add-on, built by Sony, powered by Microsoft Windows remains the only console on the market.

Soon.

Would it be accurate enough to observe the warehouse workers playing soccer with packages?

Well... ... the same day the issue was published. So, that's pretty good I think.

There is a much better and vastly easier way to work this out. Han agreed to transport Obi-Wan's party to Alderaan for "2000" (they might have been Hutt or Imperial currancy but that doesn't matter) - in the novelization Obi-Wan makes the argument that this is a fair sum for a passenger...

The points in the article aren't wrong, the game could be better. That said it's still an incredible game that I haven't been able to set down since it arrived.

As wealthy and profitable as cable ISPs may be, they don't have the $BILLIONS in cash that would be required to overhaul their entire coaxial network to fibre all at once. Just imagine the expense of digging up your street to replace one copper wire with a bundle of fibres and multiply that by...

Well, obviously. I worked for a cable co at one time and it's just the best solution to an awful situation. Scenario: Cable co has a 48Mbps pipe and 1000 customers sharing it with 1Mbps internet plans. This is actually fine most of the time because not everyone uses the connection at once...

Loafing on my couch across the room from my TV 30FPS is generally fine. That said, obviously buying Fallout 4 for PC because mods.

I guess not quite everyone.

ONCE Literal response out of the way, I appreciate both silence and modularity.

Great, thorough review as always! I don't suppose someone at the [H] could provide a BIOS dump from the Asus card, for science? (OK it's for flashing on my 290)

HTC One M7 and Samsung Galaxy S4 and Tab 4. HTC will unlock the bootloader for any of their phones right on their website, for that reason my phone will always be an HTC. The Samsungs were just as easy with Odin.

If I read that right Google fixed this July 9, 2012... Yeah, Google needs to get OEMs and carriers out of the mix so that devices actually get updates but it's Android, for the most part you're free to update it yourself. I've updated all my phones and tablets myself, having never seen an...

I have an HTC M7 and find the 4.7" screen barely tolerable for daily use. I'm considering one of the "mini" 4.5" variants by HTC or Samsung next time. I've got a tablet for when I actually want a big screen.

"We aren't facing any real competition right now so we have no proper incentive to release the new products we've invented, let's keep charging >$200 for I5-4690K CPUs until there's a reason not to."

I know we hate iPhones because of their closed nature, I myself switched to Android around Iphone 4s / Android 4.4, but I've never met an iPhone owner who didn't love their device. The survey is probably accurate.

If you're at all open to Canadian entries, I'd appreciate a new PSU.

If I can keep playing new games without pouring more money into my PC that keeps me happy.

I agree with this. I was actually debating an R9 285 vs R9 290 before Xmas due to the improved power efficiency and new technologies. A sale bringing the 290 down to $259 made that decision easy. Still, I wish the 300 series were all Tonga variants... really surprised AMD couldn't scale the...

Review on release day, nice. I'm happy AMD caught up and has again clearly established performance / $$$ clearly over NVidia. On the other hand I can't help but wonder if the 200 series just had better cooling to accommodate an extra ~100W it could be ran at 1100 core / 1500 memory and...

Digging those AMD liveries. Have: Knights of the Old Ropublic Humble Bundle gift link. $10 steam credit that could go toward something.

I love the idea of AMD's APUs in an HTPC or casual use PC. They crush all other integrated graphics solutions (the "best-in-class" claims). The thing is the "high-end" APUs are too expensive. Assuming the 7870K will take the current price-point of the 7850K in the near future, the current...

The CPU utilization findings seem right. I only get ~40~70% utilization on my [email protected] while my R9 290 is at 100% all the time. My wife's not overclocked [email protected] also plays the game just fine even though it falls short of the recommended spec.

If it's all or nothing yeah I'd give up a finger for internet access. Not only my job but most of my hobbies rely on the internet in some way. Preferably it would be a pinky finger.

Like 73 vs 70 FPS miles? I bet it's a $300 premium for that difference.

Well there's DirectX 12 and that Windows 10 can install through Windows upgrade.

I once spent my whole life not wearing an ESD wrist strap or taking any precautions against ESD and didn't damage any hardware.

You mean more complex right? You used to have to install RAM chips individually, ISA sound, video and NIC or modem, manually set IRQs, possibly SCSI CD ROM or tape drive. Today it's so much easier.

Doesn't this apply to any game?

Otterbox commuter on all my phones. For the $40 I have saved my phones from countless fatal drops. Even customized my last one:
