    Is my R9 290 dying? 30-50% drop in performance unless I restart a few times.

    You know when I got a 290 not long ago and decided to benchmark my system using the unigine valley benchmark. I was getting a very low score. Turned out that even though I had "use application settings" in the anti-aliasing mode set, I also had the anti-aliasing method set to super sampling and...

    phones are just getting too big, what happened to small phones?!

    I see which dimension you are referring to now. I do know what you mean about the size and specs. Bring in cost and there are few options available. Xperia U works fine for my modest needs, only bad thing is sony's descision to compress photo down to 10% of their native size. Look OK on...

    phones are just getting too big, what happened to small phones?!

    To the poster above, have you considered the samsung galaxy ace 2 http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_2_i8160-4559.php or the htc one v? http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_v-4575.php I was looking for a small phone as others clearly are and due to price, went with the Xperia U...

    Tomshardware and their flawed benchmarking methods

    So, is the OP going to clarify his position? Also, tom's hasn't been owned or run by the original guy for how many years? I don't think you can find a hardware site that isn't ridiculed by others so this sort of thing is backward to say the least.

    Overlooked RPGs

    Without knowing the sort of thing you have played, how would we know what you have missed? Oh and I gave the demo a go, didn't play it much IIRC.

    Adult 6970 discussion Thread

    I don't think you can just "undercut" the competition. Both comanies have to make a profit so we shall see who gets the lowest. Also, ATI don't and haven't had to beat nvidia's cards for the top spot for a wee while now so why should they change. It is not going to get them anything of worth...

    Adult 6970 discussion Thread

    WorldExclusive, you and others keep forgetting that the 6970 is not the top card in ATI's line up. They do not have to say how high, when someone like you tells them to jump. They will do things how they want and I doubt they will have trouble selling cards.

    Let the 6970 Rumors Begin

    This is why price is a far better comparison, single gpu, double gpu and all that nonsense can be forgotten. Just look at the closest 2 cards price wise and compare.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Yes, I can look at fraps, disable crossfire then look at fraps again. Same scene and getting double the fps. I even decided to fire up risen just now and test it. Haven't done any great amount of testing but a quick check of fps showing 40 without crossfire and 90 with shows great scaling...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Video Card Review @ [H]

    @vengeance Nope, not CoD4. I don't fraps every game but I recall oblivion being able to double my frame rate give or take. Going from 15 to 30fps was a big deal at the time. Also 95% or a 100% could be only a frame or so difference so a moot point. I am playing one right now which...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Okay, from personal experience I can say I have experienced 100% scaling in some games, some of them from a few years ago.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Video Card Review @ [H]

    The 6970 is not a crossfire card and yes, you can get 100% scaling with crossfire games permitting, have done for years. True most games won't but it is possible.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Video Card Review @ [H]

    6990 maybe but I do not think you will find a single gpu card being that much faster.

    Is it possible the next Half Life episode/sequel/game won't even use Source engine?

    Yeah make it like the car industry, or nvidia cards. Take the same product, rename and sell it as something new.

    Is it possible the next Half Life episode/sequel/game won't even use Source engine?

    So true. I think people also forget they have steam to live off of.

    Top Three Most Over-Rated Games... In Your Opinion

    Have I missed it or has no one mentioned far cry 2. The game that could have been pretty damn good IMO but was let down by obviously not being play tested before release.

    Witcher 2 to have a DRM-Free version... but there's a catch

    There will be boobs and more of them I hope. Always find it amusing when people used to order the european vesion solely because of the odd censorship rules. The first game allowed drug use, drinking, gambling, fist fighting, killing people, including decapitation yet no harmless nudity.

    Witcher 2 to have a DRM-Free version... but there's a catch

    What I think is odd is people are making illogical connection between what other people who have followed the route of pursuing priates and what cdproject are doing. Precedence does not work in this case as cdproject have not done anything to show that they are of the same make as the RIAA or...

    Let's face it, people do not want to pay for things if they don't have to, people are children. They have not reached adulthood where you do things because you know it is the right thing to do so they need threats and over the faceless internet they do not feel theatened. We know that people...

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ann.

    Yeah they have only translated a couple of them at least I have only found two, "the last wish" and "the blood of the elves". What I hope but doubt for would be another excellent intro as that was the best I have ever seen really and it set the tone for the game.

    Well, it is available for pre-order on steam, not long now to find out if a real disappoint or a triumph, I don't see it being inbetween for some reason.

    Which action RPG has the best combat?

    It was also an interesting game because of the fact that it showed what could be done with the source engine. Talking main character, being able to see the rest of your body as well as other things. All the things valve didn't do in Hl2.

    Which action RPG has the best combat?

    Dark messiah might and magic was fun and the combat good for a firstperson view. The rope bow meant sniping was fun. Whilst I am sure some will disagree, I will have to put witcher up there just because I always like the swordplay at the higher levels especially. Oblivion was good I thought...

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ann.

    Were we playing the same game? The game was fine without the "enhanced edition", the combat was fine, how could you not find your character any different after leveling up? Did you not notice the extra attacks or the better magic abilities? Did those just pass you by?

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ann.

    I hope they keep the combat the same style, was nice to see such good swordplay and magic easily combined.
