    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    I've skimmed this entire thread because this seems to be the best place to speak to people who actually have this thing in hand to run tests with and give feedback, and most of us seem fairly knowledgeable about something as niche as monitor specs etc. I'm here to talk to you guys about our...

    Fornite on Android Forgoes the Google Play Store for Increased Revenue

    This is the same bullshit that is happening today with Steam. These scumbag companies were happy to let the storefront owners build up their product and create a massive and reliable userbase for them, and now they swoop in for a kill and claim those same customers, without the tax of operating...

    Latest Nvidia Drivers Break Quake HD Remix for Pascal Owners

    Manuel, I don't believe that's the issue. The problem is that along shadows, there are black squares where it seems a tile based rasterizer pattern is occuring causing parts of the shadow volumes not to draw properly. It looks checkerboard pattern like. Open the console and type in...

    Latest Nvidia Drivers Break Quake HD Remix for Pascal Owners

    Darkplaces isn't the only place to show broken graphics on modern Nvidia hardware. Quake 2 also experiences corruption starting with Maxwell GPUs and continuing with Pascal. Check this video recording I made to show the artifacting: That's not all. F.E.A.R. also shows artifacting on modern...

    Chrome Will Soon Prevent Irritating, Unwanted Website Redirects

    Amazing. Cannot wait until this happens. Admittedly it will only affect my phone as my desktop has uBlock Origin but it will still be nice when it comes.

    More than 6,000 Games Released on Steam This Year

    And it's 90% indie trash. Freaking shovelware that has no place on the market. This is what happens when you pretty much let anyone put their crap on your storefront.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 Announcement Coming Next Week

    It's really quite simple. They get people to double dip by pretending they have no intention of making a PC version. There are direct quotes from Rockstar saying at the time of last gen release, "we have no plans for the PC version." Then a month before the PC release when trying to build hype...

    MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti LIGHTNING Z Video Card Review

    I really feel silicon lottery is the only thing relevant to the performance of these high end 1080 Tis. My STRIX OC does 2076Mhz and 12Ghz memory at stock voltage. If I were to crank the fans to 100%, temps never go above like 43c. I use a custom fan curve which goes 0% fan speed up to 35c, then...

    Don't Tell People to Turn off Windows Update, Just Don't

    @#$& Windows Update post 7. Forcing users to accept updates that they don't want or need (drivers, monitor color profiles, etc) without any options in the way is totally unacceptable. I disabled my Windows Update service months ago and am perfectly fine. I monitor my active processes regularly...

    Remastered “Half-Life 2” Coming to Vive & Rift with VR Controller Support

    Not everyone has a weak stomach and gets sick from these types of games. Half Life 2 with the native Valve code was the best VR game I've played to date, and that was back on the DK2 without motion controls. I don't care for teleport gimmicks. I don't get sick. I want a REAL game with REAL...

    ASRock Z170 Extreme 7+ Motherboard

    I will never buy another ASRock product after the disaster that was z77 Extreme4. They got caught red handed completely lying about CPU vcore readouts. Say I set a fixed voltage with LLC level 2 for my processor's vcore at 1.25v. It might read just about that same number in programs like CPUz...

    Lawsuit Claims Microsoft Discriminated Against Women

    I love how she has the audacity to claim the men who were promoted were "lesser qualified" yet she's the one not getting the promotions. Sounds like an arrogance issue, one that management recognizes through and through.

    AMD, Roy Taylor, the Nano, and the Press @ [H]

    2 things. 1) this write up does come off as really bitchy, prefacing with a claim that it isn't doesn't change the content. 2) I hate AMD, but without them the consumer will be in real trouble. We need them. They need to get their shit together and start getting back in the game. I do not...

    Samsung to Buy OLED Maker Novaled for $347 Million

    Enjoy that terrible pixel burn out that OLED suffers from. Even in smartphones which have their screens on for short periods of time throughout the day, pixel burn out occurs quite noticeably over the course of a year or two tops. Now apply it to a PC or television environment where you...

    Samsung Starts Mass Producing Industry’s First 3D Vertical NAND Flash

    Word. My 830 series 256GB SSD is holding up just fine :)
