tl;dr — trying a different USB port fixed things... Now, I know that you all know this. This is just another reminder that I could had used myself yesterday. It all began when I decided to fire up an old laptop to see how it's doing. It has Ubuntu on the internal SSD, but I decided to instead...

Well this was easy. Thanks! :)

This has bugged me for a while. Apologies in advance if it's been discussed previoisly. The "Minimum FPS" page looks quite out of place sandwiched between "GPU Compute" and "DLSS 4". The most obvious and logical place for it (at least in my mind) would be right after "Average FPS". Any...

For you, maybe. As someone else pointed out above, performance is perfectly adequate, as long as you don't expect miracles. If memory serves me right, these chips are about as fast as something like an i5 6500 — you could even get some work done on them — and there are countless people around...

Hey dear @W1zzard — just curious why you decided to skip doing a performance analysis for this one?

Bass is surprisingly good. Some audio snobs would say it's "boomy". It's not quite subwoofer level, but it's respectable for everyday use. I think the construction is MDF, that certainly helps. Bass and treble controls are present so you can tune them to your taste. Check out the 1280 models it...

Agreed. These are the speakers that 95% of people will be happy to have and will be set "for life". A little on the chunky side for speakers on your desk, but damn the sound is worth it. I got the DB version as a gift for a close friend. They sound very warm and pleasant and got enough oomph if...

Hmm, a while ago I was thinking the same thing. A solution off the top of my head: 1. Make the inclusion of your current specs (at the moment of thread creation) mandatory. 2. Add the option to automagically include a text dump of the current system specs in the post. Could be a simple as...

Just to clarify, I don't have a problem with editors' personal views per se — just mark it as "editorial" or "op-ed". Sadly I have to agree that the overall style and grammar in the news post is somewhat not up to the usual TPU level. Must be new staff, I haven't kept up with the news here lately.

1. I'm quite keen to see what Take-Two's legal team thinks about this. 2. The Twitter link is dead, can't load any content. 3. The news editor is expressing personal views on the matter, instead of simply reporting the facts. I'm not sure this is okay.

It's probably a small miracle that somebody managed at all to bolt this onto the engine that this is running on. If years ago somebody told me "Hey, they added ray tracing to DOOM", I would ask "Which one, 2016 or Eternal?" :) Absolutely! Carmack being the graphics wh*** that he is (and I'm...

That's close to what I was thinking of saying earlier. One could mail the dev and ask for said small but meaningful changes. You never know, some people take criticism well. Pay attention to the second image I posted above. Notice how the light casts shadows on the corpses on the ground. Yes...

That first part I agree with. Well, adding one single graphical graphics feature changes.... exactly the graphics. Gameplay wise, nothing really changes, yes. Maybe using a flashlight for areas where it's completely dark. But that's why there are different mods for different purposes. Don't...

What I would rather call it is "a charming tech demo". And I most definitely don't like to use terms like to use derogatory terms such as "lipstick on a pig" to denigrate someone else's work (that I'm being provided for free), just because it doesn't quite tickle my fancy. We've been talking...

Well, I never said that anybody "must love it". What I did however say is that "I'm sure somebody out there loves it". Very different things. Something else I did say: Regarding Black Mesa -- that ended up taking endless years and man hours to complete and costing money. Apples to oranges...
