All I'm seeing here is people going on about Intel this and AMD that, and yet noone is talking about the performance here. So my question is how do these numbers stack up to what's out there already? Say compared to a 6 core 12 thread Ryzen or previous Intel chip? I don't have either so can...

In BF3 and BF4, you seem to be hitting the FPS cap of 200 that's set in the default config file for the game. Considering the framerate is equal in both 1080p and 1440p. Have you tried to raise the limit above 200? Is it even possible? Genuinely curious as this could have an affect on some...

I have a GTX560 Ti and with 353.62 I was having terrible TDRs causing BF4 to crash. (No SLI) These drivers are much better so far. I played a few hours of BF4 today and they seem really solid. Given my ancient GPU i was getting decent frame rates as well ~80 FPS. My minimal frame rates are...

BothGunzUP | 88364 | 11227 | 3141 | GTX 560Ti | 900/2106 | Q6700 | 3.326 GHz Ice Storm Cloud Gate Fire Strike I am really getting CPU limited performance as of late, even in BF3 my GPU only runs at 75-80% most of the time, with dips down into the 50% depending on the situation. I...

One thing to note guys is Haswell's main goal is to increase single threading workloads as well as lower power consumption. According to the twitter feed I posted earlier from the Intel Architect, single threaded performance helps with the perceived snapiness. And don't forget if the single...

Just stop. I don't think these are legit at all. Anandtech's Haswell Architecture article would leave me to believe we can expect 10-20% IPC increase depending on workload. Also this: https://twitter.com/FPiednoel/status/296459612377468928 Edit: Also check out some of his other tweets in...

It seems alot of companies are entering into license agreements with Microsoft over Android. Microsoft must really have something concrete for all of said companies to agree to their terms. I am just curious myself as to what it actually is. Does anyone know specifically?

Updating to these latest Beta's is causing BF3 to crash to desktop with the old "BF3 has stopped working" message. Reverting back to the latest WHQL drivers has fixed the problem. This is the first set of beta drivers I have ever had a problem with, so here is hoping they work this out before...

Here is a screen shot for anyone interested.

For everyone complaining about the lack of Start Menu, I just don't understand what you need it for. Even Microsoft found that noone launched applications from their anymore with the exception of certain things like Control Panel, and Administrative Tasks. Good new for those that don't know...

Ugh, that is going to be a bitch to clean the dust out of it. I have the CNPS9700NT and since you cannot remove the fans, its very difficult to get between the fan blades and the copper fins to clear out the dust buildup. Honestly I wish they had removable fans just to make cleaning all the...

Im using Windows 8 and so far I can tell you it is much more resource efficient. Idling at the desktop my RAM usage is at 1.1 to 1.4 GB of Physical RAM. Compare that to my Windows 7 usage, which was at 2.0 - 3.0 GB of Physical RAM depending on how long the system was up and running. Quite the...

If nVidia released a monster like this, you all would slam that card into oblivion. "ZOMG, dat card needs OVER 9000 Power Supplies, LULZ!" AMD Releases a card just like that, and everyone is like yea, awesome, this card is a beast! And then the excuses about power consumption kick in, "well...

The simple fact they have been beating this engine into the ground for the past several years, means they have made Billions of dollars of profit, so why can't they spend the resources to make a more advanced engine? Oh, that's right, they don't care so long as it sells and they can regurgitate...

I know this was release with the 7-series chipsets, but does anyone know if this will work with older chipsets as well? I guess I could just try it out, but I'm curious if anyone knows off-hand.
