    Dead Space For Free

    there are benefits and drawbacks to both One thing I am quite fond of is DLC management in origin, which is leagues better than steams. Half the time steam doesnt even download the DLC until I restart the application, whereas origin you can individually manage each DLCs download and install

    290/290x availability thread

    out of stock but still that price...tempted to order. If this was the 290 at only 10 over MSRP I'd jump on it. EDIT: oh you did mention they are not in stock yet

    Sony: PlayStation Now Will Require a DualShock Controller

    the DS4 doesnt sit in my hands nearly as comfortably as the DS3. The triggers are better though. Either way, sony never said the DS4 wouldn't work on PSNow. Its possible that it still could (Map options to start and touchpad click to select. Which makes sense since on PS4 PSNow uses DS4.) Any...

    Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce on Newegg

    one of the 6970s in my trifire setup is shot and I cant fall back to two cards or I lose eyefinity performance. I've been waiting for nonreference 290s for a crossfire setup (I have the spacing on my mobo) and have been watching the litecoin pricing surge... I'm more than a little annoyed.

    Noctua NH-U14s

    I just checked the review linked from the main page http://www.hardcoreware.net/noctua-nh-u14s-review/ thats incredible, blows away the NH-D14 at lower cost and half as many towers! I don't see myself rushing to replace my D14, but I don't think I have ever been more impressed with an...

    AMD Radeon R9 290X Video Card Review @ [H]

    so, as non reference coolers rarely work in multi GPU setups, I'm wondering how these will handle crossfire/trifire... I really want to buy 2 and get a 3rd down the road, but I'm really hesitant with these heat numbers

    Radeon R9 R290X aims at $549 pre-tax price

    I really want to buy two of these and crossfire immediately, however the heat and power consumption have me nervous any chance after market coolers will come out that actually work in crossfire? More specifically in trifire

    Akasa Venom Medusa CPU Air Cooler Review @ [H]

    I wish these comparisons included the Noctua NH-D14 it has been from what I know the best performing air cooler since it released, however most newer reviews on pretty much all sites are ignoring it, so I don't know how these newer coolers stack up

    Next-Generation AMD Radeon Series Nomenclature Detailed?

    I think it would be: R9 770 basically flip the generation number with the tier number I would expect the first high end to be: R9 170 (though companies seem to prefer to avoid the number one, so it might be R9 270)

    Corsair Raptor M40 Review

    yea I know, but I'm not sure there, I've had a great experience with the M65, however a lot of mouse snobs claim optical is far superior, and it has been a long time since I've used an optical mouse (i think anyway)

    AMD Catalyst 13.8 Beta Frame Pacing CrossFire Driver @ [H]

    I remember an article a while back showing how much stutter is improved when using trifire (and I've sen it myself), would you guys be willing to see if it goes further here? maybe do two tests when you check up on phase 2, one with crossfire one with trifire?

    Corsair Raptor M40 Review

    so on newegg an M65 is 69.99 with a 10 dollar off promo code, an M40 is 59.99 I was about to order this as a backup gaming rig mouse expecting it to be 44.99 or so, but I might as well get another M65 (sniper button isn't bad even though I hardly use it, but I love the aluminum body on the M65)...

    MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC - GTX 760 - Video Card Review @ [H]

    I see 30 for tomb raider + bioshock, 35 for bioshock crysis and blood dragon, 14-15 for just tomb raider so 45-50 seems what would be average now. We will see in august when I'm adding an extra computer whats the best deal, as of right now its definitely not an easy call

    MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC - GTX 760 - Video Card Review @ [H]

    I'd be surprised if you couldn't get 60, I've never seen tomb raider or bioshock available for less than 35, the fact that you are selling a ticket lowers the value, but then its enhanced a bit by the fact that blood dragon and crysis are there

    MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC - GTX 760 - Video Card Review @ [H]

    EA Shuts Down Social Media Games: No Refunds

    I'm not sure what the problem is here, you pay for items in a game with no guarantee of always being around, MMO players have done it for years.
