    AMD Have a Refreshed Bug Bounty Program with Rewards Up to $30,000

    I believe you have missed out on like a bazillion of bugs that Intel had to patch before AMD, because they use architecture standards older than the century :roll:

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 30 fps problem

    I have a 4.91.2 CFW PS3... I can play the game natively but I wanted my gf to have it on her PC :D Also there's the benefit of running the game at 1080p or 4k etc. Most games on the PS3 run at native 720p

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 30 fps problem

    The TV is running on game mode... at 24 FPS and "low latency" is on... :roll: Edit: Just installed the game on my main PC which is hooked up to the same TV. Same thing, the game defaults to 24 Hz. If I try running it on my main monitor, it defaults to 50 Hz. Why does this game keep defaulting...

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 30 fps problem

    It's just so terrible to play a game at 24 fps... My gf is not a gamer, she only got into it after getting together with me about 2 years ago(engaged now) and trust me, even she can't play it on 24 fps, 30 is bare minimum for games like The Last Of Us and 60 for racing games (her words) :D But...

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 30 fps problem

    The cable is fine running on 4k60hz. I'm using the original PC version of the game, no emulation. She mostly games on 1080p because it's more of a temporary PC (RX 570 4GB) but I will try what happens if I go 4k native. PC specs are: Intel i5 4460 8 GB RAM RX 570 4GB hooked up to a 55" LG TV...

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 30 fps problem

    Ice Age 2 works great, you need a widescreen patch but you can go over 120 fps no problem. It seemed a little too choppy even for 30 fps so I checked with MSIAB and voila, 24 fps, hard locked. I guess since the PC is connected to a huge ass TV, it just detects the lowest possible framerate and...

    PS3 slim extra fan mod

    I used to have one before this slim. Only had it for about a month, then it YLODd on me. So if you're going to install Evilnat's CFW please, for your own sake, DO NOT use the OC CFW, trust me, I know :D I have it on my PC but it just doesn't feel the same as playing on OG hardware with the...

    PS3 slim extra fan mod

    Believe it or not, I have 3 of these. They cost less than 20$(17€) here and they're really good. I have one for my PS3, one for my Lenovo Gaming laptop and I bought one for my girlfriend too. Temperature difference on PS3 is negligible, but in both laptops I get around 10 degrees less

    PS3 slim extra fan mod

    That's weird. Mostly the biggest issues were with the 1st edition fat PS3, which was backwards-compatible and had the 90nm GPU. I have a 2nd gen Slim and there are basically no issues with these systems. Well, all good if you got your replacement :)

    PS3 slim extra fan mod

    I hope this is not a troll :roll: PS3s are notorious for dying (YLOD) but they kinda fixed this with the slim version. The point of this post is that the fan doesn't spin up so much. When you go over 35%, it gets loud as f*ck. So with lowering the temperature we're able to keep these 15+ year...

    Hey guys! Just wanted to post this here. I'm a PC enthusiast, overclocker, temp. freak and I got myself a hackable PS3 slim some time ago (arrrrrrrrr mateys!). I may make some of you console lovers angry now... But in light of recent events (possibility to OC) and wanting to overclock my PS...
