    NVIDIA's Vault 1080 Fallout 4 Mod Is Now Live

    From what I've found, Bethesda.net is their new-ish mod hub, out a couple months ago. Basically their way of gating mods for their platforms. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/141167-bethesda-e3-announces-bethesdanet-hub The problem is they don't appear to have any verification system...

    NVIDIA's Vault 1080 Fallout 4 Mod Is Now Live

    According to comments in the link, and comments at geforce.com, the mod currently posted is fake (created 8/26, updated 9/2, only 139Mb in size, 10 versions with no comments).

    Nintendo Wants Us To Download More And Move On From Discs

    I haven't played on a Wii/WiiU in ages. Do they still tie your account to the console you own? That was the major drawback for me in investing any length of time in their online component.

    How Airbnb's Data Hid The Facts In New York City

    I just used the service for a couple overnight stays in Cleveland, several days apart. I got exactly what I wanted: clean rooms, silence, and privacy. Both of houses even had very friendly pets. I plan on using the service for a trip to Los Angeles next month for a few days. I doubt I'll have...

    PC Specs for Metro: Last Light

    There is a thread in the Video Card Forums talking about how Nvidia announced you would need a Titan to "max out" Metro. This thread here is much more... even-tempered.... Still, I can't wait for the game. IPs like Metro and Witcher and Stalker were trying to push graphics forward, more so...

    Metro Last Light needs a 690 or a Titan for optimum experience

    My point was more along the lines of Nvidia saying that about this game specifically because they made a deal to bundle it. Something like "You need a Titan to max out Metro, which you can now get for free if you buy one of our cards from the 600 lineup". If they say one needs a Titan, I'm...

    Metro Last Light needs a 690 or a Titan for optimum experience

    The reason Nvidia is saying this is because Metro: Last Light is now their spring bundle. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6904/nvidias-spring-game-bundle-announced-metro-last-light So of course they are going to say that.

    Poll Asus or EVGA geforce titan?

    I've owned both, and currently I have an EVGA 670 in an ASUS mobo. Both have been rock solid. I have heard some horror stories about ASUS' RMA shenanigans, but I've never had to deal with support with either company. Since I've been super happy with my EVGA card I would lean toward them...

    Steam Offering Free 'Call of Duty' Play

    I just picked it up for 30 bucks during Amazon's "Farewell to February" sale. Newegg also has it for 30 bucks today. The Amazon download even used Steamworks. I think it's only the multiplayer that's free this weekend, according to my games list. In my mind if you've tried CoD multiplayer in...

    GameStop Closing 250 'Unprofitable' Stores

    Greenfield, WI has 4 that I know of. 2 in the mall, one outside next to the mall, and one across the street from the mall. I've always wondered how any of those stores could maintain any kind of profit. Brookfield has almost the same situation (1 in mall, one outside mall, 1 a bit down the...

    Also, after clicking through to the main site, most of these are shopped, with the still being lifted from the movie and Google Streetview overlayed. In the BTTF one you can see Michael J. Fox standing on the side, and when typing the address into Google, it doesn't exist (Hill Valley was...

    Paragon Studios Announces Surprise Closing

    To be fair, your initial post referred to it as "superhero junk". But people keep missing your disclaimer, SkribbelKat ;) I played CoH a long time ago, and the game is old enough now that people have probably just moved on. It seems like it lasted a lot longer than the newer MMO Champions...

    Needed - A keyboard!

    While not owning a G510, I've owned a couple G15 keyboards over the past several years and haven't had many issues with them. The first gen had the problem with the key caps rubbing off. My current second gen isn't having that problem. Fixxxer has already stated he doesn't like the G510. None of...

    Needed - A keyboard!

    I've been looking for a solid mechanical keyboard as well, and based on your 4 criteria the only one I can think that would suit them would be the Deck Legends Frost tactile. Laser Etched keys, standard layout, no extra macro or media keys, and a white backlight. The only issue you might have is...

    Big Kepler? 7 Billion transistors?

    With this news story, my suspicion is renewed that we might not see a consumer-level GK110. Which would be too bad, because I would buy one.

    Mass Effect 3 Gameplay Performance and IQ Review @ [H]

    I found the comment about Bioware being known for their PC games to be a bit odd. Sure, a long time ago they were known for them, but I think they've been console-centric since KOTOR. Keep in mind many of their later games, KOTOR, Jade Empire, even the original Mass Effect, were all designed...

    Official GTX 680 Owner's Thread

    Nvidia will probably never release a 4GB version. It will come from AIB partners, and I don't think it's ever been confirmed if or when they would do that.

    Will Kepler's high end really be only 2GB?

    He's only been here 3 days. :D I wonder if the CUDA cores will improve any rendering times over the 580. I'm interested in dropping this into my editing rig, if the price is to my liking. I was always put off by the power and heat of the 5xx series, so I'm hoping there's a drop in those areas...

    Will Kepler's high end really be only 2GB?

    I think System Failure is upset with the 7970 because he wants BF3 to run @ 120 FPS. He has very specific expectations he wants Kepler to meet, as opposed to just "running smooth". Back on topic, as has been mentioned in the many other threads on this subject, just because 104 isn't the high...

    Kepler @ GDC 2012 - OBR

    Since a number of rumors have been saying late March/early April, I surmise that we will see something next week, with availability 30 days after that. Similar to what AMD did with the 7970. Per Fud's rumor of "being ready to release by April", stock should be decent enough that they can start...

    Nvidia to demonstrate Kepler at PDXLAN this Friday

    And that makes me think it's going to be Borderlands 2 with hardware PhysX. Perhaps they'll have the co-op beta playable at the event? With the way they launched the 580, this *could* be working GK104, with availability in the next few weeks. But I'm mentally preparing myself for the news...

    Microsoft Wants Your Windows Phone Marketing Ideas

    Didn't they just fire a bunch of marketing people? So their idea is to fire the people they pay to come up with marketing, and then solicit ideas from the community for free? Here's a wacky but worthwhile idea: for everybody who purchases a Windows Phone, bundle in free blowjobs. It's...

    Is there any rumor of the successor of the GTX580?

    Which TechPowerUp posted, and also stated in so many words that the roadmap was created by 4Gamer and ExpertsPC based on information (rumors) they compiled (and assumed). It also omits GK100. http://www.techpowerup.com/155727/NVIDIA-GeForce-Kepler-Roadmap-Compiled.html I can't fathom...

    7970 price gouging? 6970 comparitive pricing...

    I don't really see how one can call it price gouging when: A. They aren't available in the channel yet, and B. 550 dollars is the MSRP. Gouging will occur when they are released in limited quantities, and the retailers mark the price substantially above the MSRP. AMD knew exactly...

    GTX 780 Performance leak (probably fake...)

    Daily Tech was mentioning that Nvidia might announce something in January with shipping in the Feb/Mar timeframe, and that it was the 600 series. However, it's all "according to our sources" in the article, and the article was written by Jason Mick. AMD Regains Single-GPU Performance Crown...

    Kepler postponed 1 year

    While it doesn't specifically say what information they are working off of, the story at TechPowerUp *does* say that it's what *could* come out and when it *could* be released. They don't do a very good job of saying it, but they pretty much say it's conjecture. In my mind it's a foolish...

    Intel Core i7-3960X - Sandy Bridge E Processor Review @ [H]
