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...

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

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.

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.

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

Surely 3D TVs will accept 120Hz via HDMI 1.4?

My friend been using a Panasonic for 18 months now as his main monitor... OS GUI and everything, no burn in.

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..

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.

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)

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.

Dead Can Dance remasters. Fields of the Nephilim. Pink Floyd. anything with Herbert von Karajan and the BPO. Led Zeppelin. Nine Inch Nails.

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...

lol... buy a tub of whey, some creatine and learn to squat / bench. thread over!

Nothing wrong here! It's better!

My 2690 stays untill it dies, they really are that good. People do a double take when they walk past my computer and see my wallpapers.

Lets see how his 'unlimited detail' engine handles particle physics like smoke, ripples in water or destructable debris enviroments ; )

Roger Waters said it best: "13 channels of shit on the TV to choose from". In Europe is just as bad with Murdochs overpriced BSKYB monopoly, aside from the cost the advert breaks are so frequent and long its like pulling teeth. Complete waste of money.

This looks stunning, very impressive game mechanics.. lots of detail and (ultra)realism. I hope its a commercial success for 'em, they got a lot of balls making a PC exclusive title!

Wonder what % of that $1 million goes to the team sponsors? One of my friends was on a WoW e-sports team that one the arena tourny @ Blizzcon one year and the sponsors took the lions share of the spoils..

Its true, quite a lot of popular modern games aren't even worth the bandwidth to pirate. I will still buy and finish a good game though, in fact I play them to death. I'm the type of gamer who puts 90% of his gaming time into no more than 2~3 games at a time so I can get really good at them...

Wishing for PhysX speedy demise into obscurity and irrelevence (almost there).

Seems nearly everyone has a sort of mental problem these days, either real or imaginary. There's something fundamentally wrong with modern society and its mode of living.

Golden era of PC gaming that I will cherish forever. My Voodoo 5500 lives on in an old P4 machine hooked up to a CRT, my lil bro' is learning what real gaming was all about. Bringing him up on Quake 3, UT, Half Life, Age of Empires etc.

Not much of a COD fan but I have Black Ops, I haven't bought any DLC and I stopped playing after hitting lvl 50, hating to admit it but I was kinda impressed by the trailer for the new map pack. Credit where its due.

If you are making corrections for brightness digitally, you are needlessly throwing away contrast by having the backlight set sky high + raising the black depth. Don't do it.

I wouldn't be bothered about this if you could eventually unlock the weapon later on, after many hours of ranking up. "exclusive access" didn't they use the same language when describing some free perks for BFBC2?

Not too late at all! Anyone with even as much as a slight itch for some RTS action who might have been considering this game should jump on the boat ASAP. I have only really been playing competitive games for a few days and I'm in platinum leagues with a high win rate. Anyone who was good @ SC1...

Probably be a great experience in a 'so bad it is good' kinda way, like really shit zero budget Sci-Fi films from the 1950s or down to the plain absurd like Reefer Madness. DNF seems like a parody on bad games.

$250 is quite cheap for a 1920x1200 IPS monitor, I bought one of these way back when they were new out, had to send it back because of QC issues (tinting, bleeding, unusable sRGB sim mode). The u2410 still has a bad rep because of its disasterous launch problems. Because of the low price I'd...

Don't blame formats first and foremost, blame the fact that the best and most expensive loudspeaker systems on the planet have more distortion than cheap consumer level electronics.

Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem tells us the sampling rate figure only needs to be twice that of the highest frequency of the waveform being captured. Why would any faster be better then? Surely slower is better then? When you push an ADC faster and faster to sample at something insane like...

Agree. Fuck big companies, so what if a few go under because of piracy, for many of them I'll be laughing when they do go kaput as they'll be getting their just deserts, especially anything related to Hollywood, music biz, TV or mass media. I take great pleasure in teaching computer illiterate...

Sure guys, its probably going to be a good game and it looks good too, but its hardly anything revolutionary now is it? I see bits of other older games minced together and nothing new to offer... Bulletstorm and Borderlands especially, I wanted to be really enthusiastic about this but its...

+1 for electrostats. I've never heard the American Magnepan speakers because in Europe we have the famous QUAD ESLs as our 'go to electrostat speaker', but if Magnepans are anywhere near the same class definetly check them out. They do amazing things with stereo imaging that I haven't heard...

Does anyone know if its just for single player or will the new expo turn multiplayer on its head with new units etc? Either way its a day 1 buy for me.

I scored nearly 300 in this test, perfect in all except blue + green with huge peaks. Doesn't suprise me, when playing poker I need to get my friends to show me which stack of chips are blue and which are dark green.

Sure, if you want to be a rake thin girly man with no muscle tone and low testosterone. I never trust any man who doesn't eat meat.

'diversity', 'community', 'minority' 3 words to make your blood boil, what a load of political correct loose stool water.
