Wow... both feet inserted in mouth, making the opposite point you were trying to make without even realizing it, apparently. It's exactly that, the lack of quality games, that's hurts PC gaming. Quantity will not make up for the loss due to lack of quality. Wrong. That statement is...

How exactly do the new unlocks, or unlocks from now on, actually work? They said they're now separated from having to get achievements, but I'm still not clear on this. Someone suggested "random drops" or some such as possibility, or perhaps receiving something at the end of a given round, but...

Thanks for the link. What about customizing the actual size of the house, number of floors etc. and things such as where staircases are placed etc.? Also, I'm still curious about how much you can actually build... multiple houses? Everything else seems extremely customizable from the vid...

Exactly... longevity is definitely of major concern. It seems to "level-off" probably around 80C, if I remember right, occasionally peaking into the 90's at certain times. But even mid-80's, especially compared to around high 50's/low 60's with the stock cooler, seems a bit high to me and makes...

So, I have a question about building, since it seems to be a big thing that many male Sims fans are into... Just how much, and where, will you be able to build in TS3? Is there complete customization? Or at least a large number of pre-fab designs to choose from once you acquire the money...

Thanks for the response. Wouldn't running something such as Crysis for long periods of time stress the GPU similarly? I've actually never bothered with anything such as Furmark in all my years of building gaming rigs. I've seen some varying responses (the few I can find) regarding VRM temps...

What is considered "safe" for 280 VRM temps? I ask, due to the fact that Thermalright never fixed the problem they claimed they were fixing with their aftermarket cooler for the 280, and the plate with thermal pads does a miserable job at cooling the VRMs, which they knew was over-heating...

Definitely a GPU problem, not the PSU, especially the Corsair 620HX, which I've been running since it's release in four different systems without a single hitch on both 8800 GTX's and GTX 280's. The problems you're experiencing are GPU-related that are pretty tell-tale. Send the GPU back to the...

Oops, yes, I was referring to GTA IV... forgot to mention that, but you figured it out. I'm definitely more than "familiar" with "modern" console gaming, and no, I don't expect to be able to tweak it out such as on my PC rigs. I'm making a comparison between seeing this (predominantly GTA IV...

I'm trying to figure out why the visuals with my 360 have a tendency to look excellent in some ways/places, and almost "smudged" in others, as well as why there is such horrible aliasing, shimmering, draw-distance issues and major pop-in. Also, some textures look terrible at times, such as on...

Agree 100% on both points. Your first point could be an accurate basis for your second, as DNF is a potential gold mine for someone willing to take it up, push it hard and do with it what can and should be done. If someone could truly "re-image" the original and expand upon it to further...
