    DirectSound vs. WASAPI vs. ASIO

    Use WASAPI with all your volume controls in software music player / Windows control panel / soundcard set to 100% (if using a seperate DAC or preamp / headphone amp with its own analogue volume control) I can't quote the source because it escapes my memory atm, but apparently Windows 8.1 has...

    Quality Desktop Volume Control

    What about a software solution using a Auto Hotkey script to control your volume using say... Windows key + up/down arrows.

    Be nice to EA or else no more games for you!

    Why are people defending EA? This company is scum, what is it with this new generation of people that see big corporations as if they were some kind of divine power. Really, fuck EA.

    New Command & Conquer game for PC!

    By an objective measure, the game is quite decent and fun. But for a C&C game I think its quite medicore, I mean really C&C games were the dogs bollocks up to and including Generals.

    TeamSpeak 3 is out of beta

    Used TS3 last week in a 25x WoW raid, I was surprised. The audio quality was better than Ventrilo, cannot comment on TS2.

    Better quality: NEC or Eizo

    Eizo isn't worth the insane price, just get the NECs and make sure you can return 'em to store on the off chance your panel isn't perfect. Performance wise they're quite the same really..

    Battlefield 3 tweaks?

    In Bad Company 2 there was a text file where one could change a setting called 'RenderAheadLimit' I had mine set to '1' without this change I wasn't able to aim properly because of cursor lag. In BF3 I can find no equivilent setting, I am getting high fps but lots of mouse lag... very hard to...

    The general opinion is: BUY IT! Whatever you do, do not pass up Deus Ex 3.

    NEC PA vs Eizo CG Series?

    Keep looking for a 2490 or its bigger 26" wide-gamut brother the 2690. They really are something very special indeed and you'll probably be able to find one cheap if you are determined enough. (I was, cost me about €400)

    head-fi is really hyping these 30 dollar headphones

    It's been proven many times by speaker companies in scientific studies. Dynaudio have a whitepaper on their website with graphs + figures showing the difference in frequency response after 24 hrs use and it was enough to be an audible real World difference.

    WoW: Cataclsym, anyone else bored and not feeling it ?

    Came back to WoW last month, enjoying it a lot now with mostly 391 gear from nurfed HC Firelands and getting all the vanity items from botting archaeology / fishing with HonorBuddy. PvP still sucks on a balance level, with RBG and 3v3 being its only saving grace. A lot of work needs done on it...
