WRONG, and very WRONG. Latency is OK for video cards and gaming. These are low end crap, not real work, and they don't really get hurt from latency. RAID cards, fibre channel cards, and other professional items need to work, and they do get hurt from latency. Hence why the x79 platform has...

Buy it, by far the best PC game in recent memory. And it's what PC gaming should be, cheap, easy, goofy, crazy, simple, tons of fan service, moddable, causes everyone around you to burst out laughing. It's worth more than say Crisis 3 or BF4, and vastly more fun.

If it's not for gaming than there should be zero complaints about it moving away from gaming into the hands of facebook.

The future of VR was NEVER gaming, and certainly not PC gaming of all things. Don't kid yourself at all here, PC gaming was never the point, never the goal, never a concern, and never where the real money is. The real money is in VR business meetings, VR education for stuff like medical...

Double post

Razers exteriors are better than the competition. Their internals had a bad run, but so has ASUS ROG or do you not remember the Striker and Crosshair series? Shit happens. Pretending that there is a massive difference is pretty idiotic. We are dealing with gamer and enthusiast stuff, aka...

That's why I said "situational". Take the Triple Threat, the 40mm is the superior weapon by far... unless you're playing hard point and spamming grenades into a hard point packed with enemies. In that situation the Triple Threat is the best weapon bar none. But the 40mm is still better in...

I think you misunderstood what I was getting at. Outside of visual appeal and driver suite, a cherry mx blue keyboard is a cherry mx blue keyboard. Once you know what sort of switch you want the decision of what keyboard to get largely boils down to dealing with extra driver suites (if any)...

PC gamings big start was free shareware games, installing your friends game to avoid paying for it, no clipping, and all sorts of other bullshit. Not much has really changed, the biggest selling point is you can get everything for free and cheat like crazy. It's not even a bad thing. The...

Their quality is fine and they've made some great products. The Deathadder especially has always been one of, if not the, best mouse for FPS since it was originally released. As for "gaming" you can throw that at logitech, microsoft, steelseries, madcatz (who are very much known for shitty...

There are surround headphones that have multiple speakers in them. However they are expensive and the individual drivers aren't nearly ass good as those in stereo headphones. Thus running surround through your soundcard or using dolby headphone with a good pair of stereo headphones is often...

Some of the Abits I loved have been listed, I don't see the IC7-G MAX so I'll toss that out. Also the Crosshair II Formula in my sig. Purchased in 2008 and still going strong. Despite being pushed like crazy.

It sounds like they misspoke. You can run an anticheat program and just collect logs from it, ie not boot/ban anyone and not have anything letting them know it is. Harvest a whole slew of people and then do it. Anti-cheat on the PC is stupid anyways. Cheating and piracy have always been...

It works on the rift already.

No destruction and no 64 player servers. To hell with that, that's not unreal. Unreal is small DM/TDM/CTF. It's large player counts and vehicles that ruined it. If they went 64 player and destruction I'd hope their fans hang them by their entrails and burn their houses to the ground.

I normally advocate to use whats fun for you. I prefer the arc cannon because it's fun and I have fun. But the 40mm is just the better all around. The triple threat is good for spamming on maps with control points, but again specific situation. I'm not saying it's OP vs under P. Just more...

It's still less damage than the 40mm cannon. The 40mm cannon kills Titans and Pilots better, faster, and easier than the railgun. And that's even against the railgun that does not require charge time. I think the railgun is fun, but it does less damage, takes longer to kill Titans and...

The game has some weapon balance issues. Not that some guns are vastly over powered or vastly under powered, but that some options are slightly better and easier to use. For your main gun, the shotgun, smg, and starting rifle are just all around better than the other options. Stuff like...

Titanfall isn't really a mech game, it's different. Hawken got screwed by MWO. Hawken doesn't really play like a mech game, neither does Titanfall honestly. MWO pulled all the "I want to shoot mechs" people into it before it gradually imploded due to developer/publisher stupidity and idiocy.

That's not how capitalism and business works. You have X staff and operating costs. So you should devote your staffs time to the projects that make the most money possible. If you devote your staffs time to projects that make less money you're running your business wrong. It's also a sure...

Onboard sound, onboard networking, onboard RAID. All of which are as revolting for people who care about those things as using an IGP. None of that is remotely high end. If I'm throwing away good networking, good sound, and a proper storage solution then why shouldn't I want the smallest case...

Because the IP is dead and old, like CRT monitors and typewriters. The sort of movement, weapon style, and gameplay (CTF, TDM) took a backseat on the PC. It was replaced with realistic weapons, reloading, less acrobatics, blah blah. All of the older, more classic shooters like Doom...

They stated it was targeting core2 duo systems and athalon x2 systems to they'd be able to sell enough copies of the game. It runs fine on lower end hardware.

It could always have to do with the heat, power consumption, or a myriad of other issues. Keep in mind that the official nvidia grand daddy dual GPU card has often dealt with these issues by not using the top GPU, using a clock neutered version of the top GPU, or more often both at the same...

You are aware that the biggest selling points of PC gaming since it's start have always been. 1. You can steal the game easy as fuck and there is a huge community for it. 2. You can cheat like crazy and there is a huge community for it. Those have always been the biggest selling points...

Those were a mess at release as well... but it was more hardware related. Remember IRQ's, jumpers, soundcards and all that jazz? Shit used to work less often. And in those days if it didn't work there was no "wait for a patch" you just flat out threw your money away and that was that. PC...

It's hit or miss honestly. The older AMD rig in my sig has no issues at all and the game runs amazingly well. The octacore xeon + titan rig gets mad tearing and has all sorts of fucking issues. The laptop has issues as well. You can command line the damn thing to run in a large borderless...

I just want the devkit 2 to go public so I can grab one. I've got the current one and want a second for co-op, but I'm waiting for new hardware.

PC games being pretty much unplayable at release has been an issue since PC gaming started. This is just the way things have always been.

They need to make three games at this point. - Unreal - This should be largely single player like the original Unreal and Unreal 2. Make the multiplayer like Unreal 2 XMP. -Unreal Tournament- Make this like UT99 and only include DM/TDM/1v1/CTF type gametypes... balance the weapons for this...

use the shotgun ;)

See the above. The audio was done for dualcores. You're the one who has no idea what they are talking about. Read up. You're a PC gamer, you should know that they always neuter things down to make it playable on the most amount of systems possible so they can sell the most games.

While uncompressed is "more desirable" that's not why they did it... they did it for low end PCs. You're wrong in why they did it, even according to the game developers themselves. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/respawn-titanfall-pc-gaming-install-electronic-arts,26275.html There you...

Uncompressed audio is a PC only thing because of shitty hardware on the PC side of things. Having uncompressed audio means not having to devote CPU time to it. While that may seem silly to you, keep in mind the amount of dualcores and laptops out there with weak CPUs vastly outnumber the...

It's not "ease of optimization" entirely. True, having one set of hardware that does not change makes optimizing consoles vastly easier than trying to hit a broad set of hardware that is constantly moving and change. However there is more than that. Windows and DirectX both have large...

The fact that Mantel and the game centric Linux based Steam OS came out within a year of each other is interesting. Especially considering the companies involved have been party of the many who have been griping about Windows + DirectX for some time now. There are some good arguments for Win...

Possibly because NVidia seems to be focusing on mobiles and has talked about designing from the bottom up rather than the top down. Which makes total sense given where the markets for computing devices and profits are moving. That seems like a reason to assume what has been said is true no?

Again, this means nothing, you don't seem to understand what people are saying. When the 360 first hit there were games that could run on it and just as well/better on an Athalon 64/2gb/512mb ATi 1900 or NVidia 7900gtx. By the time the PS3 was out Core2 systems with 4-8gb memory and NVidia...

It's doubtful DirectX can unfuck it's situation. AMD is one of the companies that has been pointing out for a long ass time that the Windows + DirectX issue is extremely crippling when it comes to getting the most of the hardware really should be junked all together. That's why stuff like...

That's like saying that most PC owners have only ever played Farmville or most mobile owners only ever played Angry Birds. It's fun to point out and it gets a you nice cheapshot in, but it's grossly unfair to the platform involved. Every Nintendo console has had it's share of must haves...
