    Oxide now says that NVIDIA does support Async Compute

    The only thing the developer said was I don't know this can be interpreted into "nVidia does support Async Compute". All it says is that nVidia has acknowledged the problem on their side and are working on it. We don't know when it'd become functional and how efficient it'd be.

    anyone here order the MSI GTX 970 4GD5T?

    I ordered this same card, and should have it by Friday. It's a non-reference cooler. Looks very much like an earlier Twin Frozr implementation (so, very likely the fan won't stop at idle). One difference is that it's about 25% lighter than the MSI Gaming 970. I'll post a review too once I...

    TV tuner experts! PCI vs USB vs Network & what channels work with cable?

    Comcast in Bay Area, has all channel programming with "Copy Freely" flag except for those on premium channels, which has "Copy Once". This means that other than HBO, Starz, Cinemax and Showtime and few other paychannels, the rest of the programs allow you to record on one PC and then view...

    Is 290X as hot and power consuming as GTX480?

    At quiet BIOS setting, this card is still faster than a 780 and depending on the resolution is about on par with Titan. For instance at 2560x1440, it'd be about 2-3% slower than Titan, and a bit more so at 1920x1080. Fan noise is about the same level as that of a 7850. This is according to...

    QNIX QX2710 Evolution ll 27" 2560x1440 Matte IPS Display ??

    I purchased matte version of this monitor from Ebay yesterday, and will update here how it goes. It's apparently HDCP compliant, and it's one feature I'll definitely be testing since I do use WMC with cable-labs certified tuners, as well as blu-ray playback. We'll see. It's one of the many risk...

    Thanks for the competition. Odds are still above 0.1%. Not bad.

    Steam's Big Picture goes beta today...

    With a proper MCE remote and an XInput controller (like Logitech F710, or the X360 controller), mouse/keboard controls aren't needed anyway on an HDTV, especially for games that traditionally run better on controllers. It's a good development, as gaming HTPC users like me get another 10 foot...

    "Why I’m uninstalling Windows 8" Article

    Microsoft spent a lot of time, explaining in detail why certain decisions were taken about the start screen. For those interested in finding out why Start screen tiles are designed that way, and how start screen and start menu can compare in usage efficiency (time to find an object, dexterity...
