I really regret updating my Windows 7 machine to Windows 10. The worse part is the updates. You don't get a choice whether to decline their download or not. You can choose to defer installation temporarily but the damn thing downloads them anyway. And what makes it worse is that you can't...

I have considered jumping onto a Windows phone for a few years now, but never do, sticking to the iPhone after a brief dabble with Android a few years ago. And the case becomes less compelling as time goes by. The only thing that would interest me is a true x86 phone that runs Windows...

Well for me, this Day 1 purchase has not been a disappointment for multiplayer. It runs silky smooth (2560x1440) at anywhere between 90-110 FPS on a GTX980 / 16GB mem/ i7 @ 4.2Ghz / SSD drive. Just about all settings on High (not extreme). Ive had no FPS drops, no crashes, no connection...

COD games are still fun on PC. I have a weekly gaming session with a mate and we tend to play competiviely against each other so at the end of every round we award each other a point for who got most kills, least deaths, most points. And every time we kill each other if on opposite teams...

You can just up the text and scaling factor in windows to medium on 1440p and it's much more readable on a 27" ( I do this) Gaming seems fine. More detail etc. just make sure your gpu is capable of driving the res.

I think I had already decided to go with a 980-Ti but the price of them in the UK is ridiculous (about £600).. so I held out wondering what the Fury and 390X would bring. I cant remember when top end cards cost so much! I wasnt happy with AMD anyway due to my Crossfire 280X cards suffering...

It's a complete mystery why AMD claimed this card was good for 4K. Like all single card solutions, it's just nowhere near good enough. But then to recommend crossfire as the solution.. All I can say is been there, tried that, and it sucked. 280X crossfire resulted in flashing textures in bf4...

With such a recognised problem, why arent the manufacturer's simply shipping with a BIOS that supports the right voltages. It certainly puts me off buying when people talk about frequent random crashes until they modify the bios and voltage settings...

I will be ditching crossfire too shortly.. currently I have 280X cards in crossfire. Sadly they are reference cards so no fancy cooling fans on them. My biggest issue with them is game support... take BF4 for example. Yes it supports cross fire, but there is still texture flickering on parts of...

Thanks for the review. I expect most people would not justify the cost increase above the STRIX with performance being so close. And a $200 difference is quite an ask above the 290X for about 8 FPS (BF4 quoted). I love the power/temp advantage, but still ... cant help feeling the 980's are...

Had bad UI lock ups in COD AW plus game crashes and then had a BF4 crash too which was rare for me. Have now gone back to 14.11.2 beta (Nov 13th driver release I think they are) and the problems have gone away. Not impressed.

Latest patch Dec 16... Check the BF4 Forums... - SLI and Crossfire both rendered useless by rampant flickering - either turn off or you cant play - Accept Revive Bug still present - Netcode apparently the same / worse (ie hit detection & getting killed by people who you just pumped a...

quick update.. The 7cm bridge cable I got from amazon worked a treat, and both VTX 280X cards are now operating in crossfire mode. In order to get working I had to tell the motherboard via the bios to always use PCIE as the primary display.. otherwise was a breeze. Running 1920x1200...

Thanks everyone. I've ordered a cross fire bridge from amazon for peanuts..Its 7cm which should be enough to connect the two cards. Its a joke that I get an SLI bridge in the MB box but not a cross fire bridge, and nothing in the 280x box itself forcing me to hunt on ebay for one! I rang a...

My new PC has a 280x inside it (from a company called VTX). The motherboard is an Asus Hero Maximus. I want to crossfire this GPU with another 280x but having never done it before I have a couple of questions : 1) There is no crossfire cable in the box of the motherboard or the GPU. Do I...

I know everyone is different, but I too am loving this game. I've been with the battlefield series since 1942 (I built my first PC for that game), and have sunk 100's of hours into each one of the series. So far, Ive put in 6 hrs into BF4 multiplayer and think its a great game. It's not that...

I've played for about 4 hours so far (UK) on about 3 servers (also uk based). In total I've experienced 1 server side crash which threw everyone off the server. No audio of graphics issues, no lag. Mixture of rush and conquest with upto 32 players. Server browser is buggy as hell though (region...

For the first time in years, my new build PC Ive just ordered has gone the AMD route with a 280X. Perfect price / performance with the option of going cross fire later on if needed should I upgrade my screen to 27" etc. I also considered the 770 but the extra money, and recent hit-miss...

Of all the COD games, Ive spent the most hours playing Black OPS 1. I dont bother with the single player (on any COD), but the multiplayer has been great on the PC and still has an active community today. (EPC and KK servers being my favs) Sure... it doesnt have the depth and strategy focus on...

I played one round... Its pathetic. I put over 100hrs into Black Ops, and still play to this day. MW2 stole 70+ hrs of my time too... but MW3 and its total lack of innovation (arguably a step backwards) made me not want to buy it when it came out... which is a first for a COD game for me...

Im glad its banned and removed. A victory for common sense and decency. Modelling a game on such a depraved sick activity should be a no go area, just as modelling a game on rape would be etc. I dont care what people say about 'its just virtual', ' a game' , 'not real'... there are enough...

He has to be aware that by doing this and with the publicity that comes from PETA (ie millions of people emailed about boycotting godaddy), plus the extremists too... that his whole family becomes a target for attacks and revenge. Not exactly worth it was it when his daughter / son / wife gets...

I spent last night playing the PC multiplayer with a friend. I really liked it. I was easier to get into than BC2 online and I thought it brought a few things to the table that other FPS's arent delivering : 1. Very detailed maps. Lots of artwork went into these maps to create realistic...

The US could easily be invaded... a massive surprise strike against key US allies causing a regional war, drawing the majority of US forces to the region to assist, whilst a 2nd or 3rd party (eg. China + Russia) invades the US once forces on US soil are depleted. Once on US soil, the...

I find it really odd that there is so much negativity about the PC version of this game ... all from xbox 360 videos etc. I would expect the 360 version to be a bit dated... the console is like 6 years old now. Im hoping the PC version looks and feels a lot better. A 5hr campaign doesnt worry...

Judging by the number of other people with similar complaints on the official call of duty forums, it would appear your problem is wide spread. There are some real oddities about the game though... for instance if you have a GTX 460, it will perform much worse than someone with an identical...

I used to run my own Battlefield 2 severs in the day, and we had more features than that !!! So much for progress. Well.... The actual game on the PC version is a total broken mess so it doesn't surprise me that the server piece is just as knacked ! Hell... The server browser in the the actual...

After the piece of crap game decided not to save my last 6 games of rank ups / and XP achievements tonight thus keeping my rank much lower than it should be.... despite playing on a ranked server and being awarded all the XP's etc.. Ive actually gone back to play MW2 with my mate tonight. Who...

For those people who say they are getting 30fps etc... Have you made sure that the option to sync every frame is turned OFF ?

When will EA get the message! All we want is BF3 .. A proper full scale version taking BF2 multiplayer to the next level! since BF2 we have had 2142 (decent) with a couple of expansion packs Bad company (only on console and crap for multiplayer anyway) Bad company 2 (in many ways not...

Having read the review over at bit-tech.net (link below), words cant even express just how badly they have ruined this game. It really does not deserve to be called C&C at all. Take everything you loved about the previous games and remove it. What you have left is C&C 4. Link to review...

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=236576&site=pcg From PC Gamer website... Basically, its "Five good things about Supreme Commander 2 you don't see in the demo" Worth a read.

I just ordered it! Liked the demo, love the changes. Seriously.. for those that wanted accessibility and ease of access.. it seems much better. This game was never going to be the same level of complexity as Supcom 1.. it needs to hit the masses to generate the sales required. Just like...

This is another example of our Prime Minister robbing the tax payers to give our hard earned money away to the undeserving underclasses who seem to expect everything for free in this country. Seriously ... some people who are out of work on 'benefits' get more money than people with jobs. Our...

I bought it last night. Its basically a modernised 'Thrust' clone but with slightly different controls, and the ability to interact more with your environment. I personally love it. People who like this kind of game should check out Gravity Crash on the PSN (same price) which is another very...

It doesnt matter what the topic is (literally.. anything)... humanity cannot agree. Im not sure why this is the case. We have tools at our disposal which offer precise scientific means to establish whether something is or is not a threat... and we cant even agree how to use these tools...

No more than 9v9 :D .. thats for sure! (Cheap joke I know.)

I guess it was to be expected, but now it has been confirmed via a developer interview. Due to P2P restrictions, the max player count on MW2 multiplayer is 9v9, same as the consoles. The dev's actually tried to argue this was a good thing - ie. no more spam, balanced to map sizes etc...

I would seriously take a good look at the lenovo screen. My company just gave me an X200 lenovo laptop. It has a 12" screen at 1280x800, and its one of the worst screens Ive seen on a laptop, especially vertical viewing angles. Im constantly adjusting the angle of the screen. My colleague...
