    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    Wow, the Firefox audio indicator noisy tabs feature has actually been formally announced, so you don't have to take my word for it/hope that the recent bug thread activity may finally lead somewhere...

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    I would wager that a lot of peoples current problems (or memories of past problems) are based on updating their browsers over old versions with long histories and preference data. Which of course they should have every right to expect should work, but alas, this unfortunately does not always...

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    Hey you're welcome, I know it's hard to find software companies anymore run by people with such societally discredited views but at least we can always fall back to the "never made a statement on these issues" group and hope/pretend that this means they're run by "the good ones".

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    If you create a Firefox Account and use Firefox Sync I think that may cover your need. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync There are of course some add-ons that tread this area as well.

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    My main concerns about FF vs Chrome is attaining feature parity with Chrome. NOT for it to become Chrome. There were a few things over the years I felt they were really behind on but now, for the most part I feel like they've got parity on most of what I'm missing from Chrome (like ripping tabs...

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    Right, well not everything is fully configurable, unfortunately (I've had issues before too), but a lot of things are, in any case a lot more so than Chrome was my main point. And yes I've lamented the Chrom-ization of Firefox as well but what can you do.. at least for the most part (in my...

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    Yes but the beauty of Firefox (unlike Chrome) is it's configurability - you can change it back to the way it was before if you'd like by simply adjusting any option, for this and so many other things, no extensions required.

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    Good point, if you haven't already, you should probably make sure you avoid ever using any version of Windows as well. https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2015/02/06/business-case-marriage-equality/ I myself choose my software this way, and would happily like to drop any software...

    Seasonic Snow Silent 750W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    You're pointing out how a -fanless- power supply is and accusing other people of being pedantic? Not really sure either what point you're making by distinguishing that his fanless (& therefore effectively silent) power supply is generating (by your own words) noise "...below where the...

    Seasonic Snow Silent 750W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Basically agree with every word of this post. The "rational" line irked me as well (though one imagines that was their intention). It makes you wonder why HardOCP even bothers to cater to this subject at all considering the apparent disdain being held for the demographic of buyers that cares...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Hmm, does your card not have 2 mini-DPs and either 2 DVIs or a DVI and HDMI port? I kmow not all higher end vendor cards do unfortunately. I currently run 4 monitors off a 6870, all 1080p/60 fps without issue. I use the HDMI, a DVI and the two mini-DPs with active adaptors then converted to...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Thanks Major your post was very enlightening. Now regarding: Do you know if/think this resource issue would still likely be an issue supposing I switched 1 of my 6 monitors hooked to my AMD card, off of the AMD card and over to a secondary Nvidia card for 3D gaming/3D movie watching? I...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Yeah it's a bit of a specialized case I acknowledge but I figured before I threw down money if anyone would know it might be someone here. I think you're right most cards are 3 display now (lower end AMD) or 2 display for lower end Nvidia (just a hunch, haven't checked). Modern mid-high...

    Watch Street Fighter V Live Gameplay Today

    Well they were a bit late to the party to get Marvel (for Wii U, a Wii port was basically always out of the question, though... they did get the more simple controlling Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, which took forever to come to the west), especially since you couldn't even find the updated Ultimate...

    Watch Street Fighter V Live Gameplay Today

    I'd say the Ssfiv 3DS port itself was mostly decent it was just ruined by the cramped controls but more importantly Nintendo's inane decision since the GCN to keep making undersized dpads. The GCN was ridiculously small, by far the worst. Then on the Wii remote, DS and 3DS they seemed to use...

    Watch Street Fighter V Live Gameplay Today

    Hmm, on further reflection, it may never come to Xbox One after all. The PS4/PC cross-compatible online play is a selling point and that's a big problem for Xbox One. Could cross-compatible XB1/PC play be done too? Sure. But PC can't very well be cross compatible with 2 online ecosystems...

    Watch Street Fighter V Live Gameplay Today

    Need to look again then particularly at this new vid. in full, plenty of new changes in. Because money (from Sony), would be my guess at why. I can't see it lasting long either it's probably just a timed exclusive. Worst case, Super SF V comes to XB1/maybe Wii U. It'd be too much money...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    That was my initial logic as well but I thought I read somewhere that the second card's outputs would be rendered disabled and you'd need 3. Though on looking again that may have been referring to SLI mode only. Doing a bunch of different searches on this now is turning up all sorts of...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Yeah, well, unfortunately that solution is not ideal for me since I'm buying (well, have bought) an Nvidia 3D monitor (AMD ones I've seen are out of the question due to bezel thickness) and I don't think there is any way around the card requirement there. Hope Ultra D or someone else hurries...

    Street Fighter V Confirmed PS4/PC Exclusive

    (Can't seem to edit currently) Hmm, nope, turns out DOA 5 is not going to be cheap, 40 bucks. Oh well, guess I can just wait for the inevitble online patch release day Steam sale.

    Street Fighter V Confirmed PS4/PC Exclusive

    Yes I should've mentioned that (Tekken 7) but I was more referring to the latest SC and Tekken games being ported since Steam has explodedfor more than just FPS and Capcom, etc. started doing it, if even just to learn how to do it (patches/online play) for the next big release. Perhaps somewhat...

    Street Fighter V Confirmed PS4/PC Exclusive

    Why not? Everything else is now, and it's not like it's at the expense of coming to a console. Most of the time I play almost everything on PC now whether it's from Steam or emulated and it's annoying to need to switch systems for 3rd party games. It's the only place to play online for...

    Street Fighter V Confirmed PS4/PC Exclusive

    I'm not a fan of the artstyle in SF IV, though I've grown indifferent at least to it now, and don't get my wrong I'd definitely prefer to see it back in 2D again, but are you suggesting that the game is unplayable because it's in (ugly) 3D? The art might be 3D but it still plays in 2D. Mortal...

    Street Fighter V Confirmed PS4/PC Exclusive

    Did you really just call Street Fighter a button masher? You probably couldn't have picked a game more wrong for that label. Hell even button mashing in Smash Bros. will see you get your ass handed to you 9/10 against even semi-skilled players, let alone something like Street Fighter. To hear...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    [Can skip the last bit under the long line of stars if not interested.] Whether it's called r9 3XX or something else doesn't matter, I can wait for AMD's new process card series. I can output to 6 monitors now even off of my meager 6870. As far as gaming power is concerned, again, for the...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Not sure what that entails (needing "3D accelerated output", ie. having vs not having), but definitely not planning to go the USB route, read too many stories of flaky limited hardware + none of the possible benefits of an NV secondary card + not that much of a savings for the type of card I...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Appreciate the reply and from the sounds of what you're doing it seems like I'll be able to at least get picture on 8 screens, the most important factor, as you seem to be able to run monitors from 2 separate output manufacturers. As to the rest of the post, after re-reading I still can't grasp...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Well I figure it's a longshot but worth some delving. I'm mostly concerned with being able to still run Nvidia 3D I guess as I'll need to shell out for an Nvidia monitor and if it doesn't work I'm screwed as AMD and Nvidia seem to use different monitor tech (and I'm less a fan of AMD's solution...

    8 Monitors off 2 cards possible?

    Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, just running low on time picking up things today for a new system before the cyber Monday deals end and a quick general Google search didn't turn up much. Wondering if someone could tell me if the following is possible - I will be running a 6 monitor...
