    Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Calls For Unified Digital Games Store

    Because I want to have a custom menu on my taskbar with all the games installed, click on one and start playing it immediatly, without it opening a software first saying "logging in", "check our weekend offer!!!" "Are you sure you want to play that game instead or checking out our New cool free...

    Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Calls For Unified Digital Games Store

    Worst thing about PC gaming is having 5 different store softwares installed, not being able to actually own the games without them I am from the 90s where I created a c:/games folder with 100 games installed, games that were actually MINE with no one forcing me to install launchers. This is...

    Steam Sets New Concurrent User Record

    Same here, I am logged in daily while doing umiversity stuff. Same on my Mother's laptop lol This stat means nothing to me. It only reminded me to uninstall steam as I dont play games on launchers anymore, since I found safe FTPs with every game DRM free, and me actually owning them without...

    AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) Plugin for Unreal Engine 4 Released

    All these technologies, from DLSS, FSR, Nvidia scaling, Sharpening, etc are making games blurry This was not what I wanted from PC hardware future. If in 2010 (when we already played 1080p 120hz easily), you asked me what could we have in 2021, I would say at least 4k 240hz or 8k 120hz, miniLed...

    PlayStation 3 Emulator Delivers Modest Speed-Ups with Disabled E-Cores on Intel Alder Lake Processors

    Not to mention you can play every PS3 game for free using cloud service. They are all locked to 720p 30fps natively anyway. I don't believe someone has a reason to spend their time playing 20 ps3 titles. Maybe the ocasional gem here and there, like Red Dead. You complete it and move on to other...

    Report: DDR5 Already Facing Production Issues In Wake of Global Chip Shortages

    No problem, DDR4 is faster than current DDR5 anyway. Only normies or mainstream users got a DDR5 motherboard to pair it with an Alder Lake chip and end up with 10900k performance for triple platform cost.

    G.SKILL Showcases DDR5-7000 CL40 Extreme Speed Memory

    So where do you want the frames? I mean, I use a 240hz monitor and can´t use anything else for a multiplayer game. Give me frames. They provide lower response time, easier to aim, more fun, smoother! But for freaking Tomb Raider or Day´s Gone? Dude I literally lock all of that stuff at 60fps...

    G.SKILL Showcases DDR5-7000 CL40 Extreme Speed Memory

    It should, considering it scales with basically everything.... and is also one of the most played games right now in the world. And one that makes overclocking and tuning actually FUN and USEFUL. Something that isn´t useful anymore in other games like overwatch, cs, dota, League, where any...

    SteelSeries Announces Aerox 3 & Aerox 3 Wireless 2022 Editions

    The holes exist to make the mice lighter. Weight is a very important factor on a gaming mouse and I´m glad companies and people finally realized it after 10 years of modding mice. It makes you aim better and have better control, there is no debate. Altho you would aim better with a heavier mouse...

    G.SKILL Showcases DDR5-7000 CL40 Extreme Speed Memory

    I know for a fact that 10900k is the best CPU for Warzone (most CPU demanding game out there), because it can be paired with really low latency RAM (like 4200 C16, for example) and has 10 cores on a monolhitic die. It averages 220fps with 190ish lows. While 5950x averages 200 with 170ish lows...

    G.SKILL Showcases DDR5-7000 CL40 Extreme Speed Memory

    Wich task could possibly benefit from high latency high speed ram? I´m confused now

    G.SKILL Showcases DDR5-7000 CL40 Extreme Speed Memory

    Same latency as 3500mhz CL20 DDR4 kit Pretty bad if you ask me, nothing to see here

    Intel Core i9-12900K 36% Faster Than Stock in Maximum Turbo Power Mode

    They run cool because they are mostly used for tasks that don´t use the same power as prime95 or cinebench. Useless applications that most buyers don´t even install on their machines. Show me a game using 150w on Intel and then I start to worry. For the "but rendering! encoding!" guys, just...

    Intel Core i9-12900K 36% Faster Than Stock in Maximum Turbo Power Mode

    Here we go again... 241 watts at what? Prime95? 3d Mark? Cinebench? Do you even play games? Boring
