    Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Specifications Confirmed, Console Arrives Before Holidays

    Pixel 7 / Pixel 7 Pro / Pixel 7a

    That used to really bother me when I upgraded past the 4a. With the 7 Pro I think that it's actually like 12.5 after the pixel binning and the extra crop from the sensor is sacrificed for the sake of image stabilization, or something. That's at least what have gathered over the years. I've...

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    Finally, Ken Kutaragi will see his dreams of the Cell future.

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Wasn't the GT 250 a rebranding of the 9800? I remember that chipset sticking around for longer than you'd think.

    Apple opens the App Store to retro game emulators

    Justifying this change as a way to compete with Nintendo is exactly the wrong play. If anything it could be seen as a shot across the bow at Nvidia and everyone else.

    Pixel 7 / Pixel 7 Pro / Pixel 7a

    I still have my 7 Pro lying around. But I've never bothered with custom launchers. My main concern was that it found any and every opportunity to over heat. Get a case for it as soon as possible because the modern Pixels are slick mother fuckers, and will slide off any surface that isn't...

    Oh thank God. My PS/2 ports have been getting really crusty.

    What are the most strange or weird or you-never-thought-of it-or imagined PC parts on Amazon

    I used to love browsing for those chtockies, though I would usually just end up with a new little blower fan that will die in seven months like the ones it replaced. More recently I found a PCIE 56k modem somewhere. It wasn't on Amazon though. One of those sites that the really [H]ard core...

    Alan Wake 2

    Well, yes and no. The 2060 super exists. Admittedly, I'm still sleeping off the ecto-1 flavored kool aid so I don't even know how to be objective. However I don't really encounter much wistful reminiscing about the Radeon VII whenever VRAM gets brought up. It would be interesting to see if or...

    Alan Wake 2

    My take away from that video was that the 2070 super was and still is a beast of a video card.

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    I've had this thought about the s23 which shares the same camera system for the most part. Five cameras and it's not able to produce a good shot between them.

    Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra battery life.

    I have as well. I'm usually lurking around different forums during my workdays and anything that hits the Internet tends to wreck havoc on my battery life. Hell, that is part of the reason I come back to this place. It's still better than my last phone, that one you could watch the battery...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    The AI subscription concept doesn't bother me as much because I feel like whatever advantages it might offer I'd have to pay extra for anyways. If I was interested. The last phone that I had with microSD was a Moto G5plus. I regret that I don't have the options that it afforded me, but I don't...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    I'm still not used to the software differences between the S23u and the Pixel 7Pro. I like how Pixel's behave but the S23U can do so much more. I do pine for the actually flat display of the 24 series. For the one way that I have ended up using my phone for the most, being a glorified...

    What's the date say for your bios? Maybe the cmos battery just needs to be replaced or something

    6600 xt performing like old rx 580

    Is it possible to get some performance info running the old card. Not just for shits and giggles, so we can get a baseline. I honestly don't see a situation where you can avoid either an RMA or spending(money) your way out of this conundrum.

    6600 xt performing like old rx 580

    Is Vsync toggled somewhere? The only thing that I can think of. That hasn't been suggested previously. It could just be pcie fuckery.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    What? I'm not the biggest fan of the compromises with that tech or people losing their jobs either. I just can't make heads or tails out of what you mean by wrong reason, especially if they are as you mentioned cutting back.

    GTA 5 Source Code Reportedly Leaked Online

    From a legal and sensible perspective, absolutely. It's more likely that any such endeavor would morph into a scene specific open secret of sorts. I wanted to immediately retort something related to Duke Nukem Forever, but we all know that nobody that matters gives a shit anymore.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    They had a perfect opportunity to pull another 2060 super and sell that 12gig 4070 as a 4060 super instead.

    Alan Wake 2

    Suppose a period appropriate version of this game came out(think 360 demake) instead of American Nightmare... What I mean is that I don't think that this game is better or worse than Alan Wake in the story department. Alan Wake 2 suffers from the same balance tweak as American Nightmare, which...

    Alan Wake 2

    The more that I play I'm reminded of that anecdote about the first half life. Someone should have thrown out all these levels and started over. I absolutely cannot stand the environments during the Alan sections. But I dig the attempt at a story. I'm still not offended by Saga, nor do I feel...

    Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer

    This trailer looks gnarly. Not like surf's up or far out gnarly. Like Abigail's hand hasn't been the same since the accident at the mill gnarly. I'm sure that I'll buy it when it's available but only put like an hour into it.

    Alan Wake 2

    Luckily you are describing exactly how Remedy wanted us to play. The trouble is that it's boring. Combat feels perfunctory rather than pointless. Whatever they were on during the development of Control, they need to re up and re hire.

    Alan Wake 2

    The path tracing is definitely better during the Alan Wake sections. Certainly in the sense that I can turn it on with my 3080 12GB and keep the frame rate near 55 or so.

    Alan Wake 2

    So I finally. Finally, got past the part that I was stuck at. It was literally right before I could enter the Oceanview hotel. In Saga's story I need to do a wellness check on the FBC, before I double backed and started up on Alan's path again.

    Alan Wake 2

    I miss the old days when I could just disable shadows outright. I'd rather have painted static shadows than the pixelated and jerky eye sores that will always be the lowest notch in the menu.

    Alan Wake 2

    Shit. That is exactly where I am currently stuck. I'm playing this for the inane pontification about free will, storytelling and the occasional surreal depiction of bucolic mundanity. I'm stuck outside the Oceanview. I know that it's something obvious. For instance, in Control I got stuck in the...

    Alan Wake 2

    The only thing that I enjoy about the Alan Wake section is that I can crank up the settings. Actually, while was playing around with them I noticed some extreme edge case bugs, if we can call them that. Like texture shimmering and volumetrics tripping out because I was trying to run maximum...

    New displays turn off for 50 seconds and then come back on ?

    Have you tried disabling hdr across the board? I have an LG monitor that does something similar when I have auto-HDR enabled. Another idea is to use a different outlet for the offending monitor.

    Alan Wake 2

    Not a Clive Cussler fan I guess. Seriously though. There's a moment in the opening hours of the game where Saga is talking to Casey about her daughter, and Casey retorts with a rhetorical question about where said daughter gets her personality from. Saga and Casey proceed to take synchronized...
