I have 5.1 speakers, and when I play pc games with real positional audio, like Titanfall 2, the Unreal Tournaments, etc... they sound absolutely amazing. I also have a Nintendo Switch hooked up to my soundcard, with emulated surround through SBX, and it sounds good, especially with sounds like...
Agree. It's weird... even with Nostalgia headphones off... the old DOS games with Soundblaster or Roland Audio sounded warmer, or richer in some way... Quake 3 and the original Call of Duty's weapons sounded crunchy. Nowadays for some reason games in general sound somewhat underwhelming.
In my opinion as somebody that likes good audio but is not an audiophile, I would say go for a soundcard if you are set with your other devices (GPU, cpu, memory, etc), especially if you have a budget motherboard, which more likely than not will come with unremarkable sound hardware. I have a...
Bwahahaha you got me. The thing is, my pc in my room is the center of all my entertainment. I barely ever watch the TV in my living room, so I was hoping to get a solution that I could hook up to my pc. Well, right now I'm hooking up the Switch to my monitor through hdmi, and from there i...
Hi guys!
I was wondering if any of you knows about ANY way to get the Nintendo Switch audio into a PC to output it through an analog 5.1 speaker setup.
I understand that the problem is that Nintedo, to avoid paying royalties, only allows the Switch to output sound in PCM 5.1 through its HDMI...
I'm on the soundblaster official reddit and the rep from Creative says that the product is alive and well, but that it will take some weeks for an announcement. He posted that last week, so I would expect news maybe in august at the earliest.
Greetings, knowledgeable denizens of the Hardforum!
I have noticed that Cryorig products are going out of stock, and their social media presence is pretty much dead since January.
Is the company dead?? Has any of you heard anything about them?
I remember they were gearing up for the launch of...
Hi everybody!
Question for Soundblaster users:
I have a Soundblaster Z in my PC and 5.1 surround speakers. I was wondering if I need to check the "surround" checkbox in the SBX Pro Studio tab of the Creative Control Panel, or if that is only for virtual surround, say if I had only stereo...
I have a Soundblaster Z on Windows 10. I originally had the card on an X58 system and when it kicked the bucket in December I moved it to a Haswell. The driver never gave and still has not given me any issues whatsoever.
A lot of people speed in urban ad suburban areas anyways. In small streets going at 60 or 80 km/h is nowhere near that speed limit and still potentially very lethal.
Nahhh... the market is not what it used to be, sure... but having physical copies has a lot of advantages. I find that I am more discerning of the movies I buy, and the audio quality is way better. Also, I loved the Cosmos series and watched in on Netflix, but I wanted to watch it again late...
The only OLED screen I've had is the one on my original Samsung Galaxy. I used the phone normally, and it still burned in noticeably. Hopefully OLED tech has advanced enough as for this not to be a problem anymore.
I also prefer the images with RTX off :shy:. Although I believe in the future implementing ray tracing could save a lot of development time for the devs instead of having to come up with fancy fake GI and AO solutions.
I see three main failures by BFV:
1) In BF1 DICE made the inclusion of women much better by giving them the proper context of the unit they were actually in, giving sense to the addition. They dropped the ball with the black german troops. There were black colonial troops fighting for the...
I have a small, basic html, non-interactive web site that I made a few years ago for my company. Will my site and similar super basic sites be labeled insecure too?
Could it be that whatever program nvidia is using creates a sort of dynamic vector field off of the bitmap data in the video, and then interpolates from that instead of from the frame as a whole? I guess that would be more suited for a gpu to handle than full frame interpolation.
This is an amazing finding, especially since these are relatively superficial rocks. Billions of years of UV light and chlorine can make quite a number on organic molecules, even recalcitrant ones like these ones. Hopefully the deeper NASA digs, the more complex molecules it finds!
I've always wondered if using artificial muscles instead of hinge joints/ pneumatic actuators would result in better mobility for these robots. Although as far as I understand, artificial muscle tech is not that great yet. However, I think that we as humans also perform stabilization duties with...
But is it really the mainstream media or sensationalist tabloids? I know that nowadays the line has blurred a bit between both, but still, aren't The Sun and the Daily Mail tabloids?
:unsure: I see a lot of features that have been available in unreal since Methuselah walked this earth. I do have to give credit to Unity for bringing some competition to Unreal though, especially in economic terms.
When Whatsapp changed the gun emoji to a water gun I had to get creative in how I wished death to my dearest friends :D. Fortunately there are still hypodermic needles, fire, noxious gases, and knives when I need to threaten them so as to make our friendship stronger ;).
