MMO's on consoles: Leave PC genres to PCs. Any sort of strategy, MMO and any other mouse-based game shouldn't even get the green flag to be ported to consoles, there should be a filter that simply crashes when trying to compile on purpose, in every engine, in all languages.

It's called emergency in-case-internet-goes-down backup, with full suppport for sorting, by name, personal rating, view count and resolution (yes, those in HD are just as defined as beards in 'traditional' HD movies) with 30-categories

Because anything related to animation or fancy effects you see in games nowadays seem near-impossible with voxels, at least until Euclideon proves them wrong. I don't expect this get much support until they actually show some progress since ... 2 years? GPU support, animation, some light effects? Still waiting

Time to mix shit up! http://www.euclideon.com/products/geoverse/ Let those popcorn companies earn some cash *nom*

On a serious note, I hope they fix it, I don't want nVidia to have any reasons to release more cards with ridiculous price tags, and Sony-Playstation grade "sharing a game" style videos (This is how to prevent black screens on nVidia cards... *turns monitor on*).

Sorry, but some websites are overkill when it comes to ads, whitelist the ones you want to support, but I'll never get rid of it

TBH, that's all you need in Oculus. they could add a 3D model of a PC around Big Picture mode to fuck with your mind

I'm very happy to see Mantle finally showing some numbers on slides, now gives us some hands on to confirm it by tech websites/YTers and make the Battlefield 4 patch already. While I'll probably stay with PhysX, I'm glad to see they are pushing it, now if only consoles... whatever.

Do you even know what Moore's law states? The number of transistors on a chip will double every 18ish months. GTX680 - April 2012 - 3.5 Billion - Fully utilized GK104 GTX780Ti - End of 2013 - 7.1 Billion - Fully utilized GK110 Need any more proof? And I am sorry, but tell me, who on earth needs a last or current gen i7 except below budget-content creators and similar power users (3D modelling, movies, programming etc)? i5 is enough gaming, and will be for the next year or 2, unless consoles push multithreading. i3 is enough for any other general tasks.

Just because we don't get 12 core CPUs on the consumer side doesn't mean Moore's law is dead. The tech is pushing forward, there's more to Ivy/Haswell than just silicon "barriers". The average PC gamer doesn't need anything above average-performing quad core because no one except AAA developers go for multithreding, and on top of that Indie market is booming. There's simply no need for significantly more performance right now, more games are GPU bound, and we are leaning towards GPUs as GPGPUs anyway, and you can't tell me that the 20 month old 680 can be compared with a 780ti now - yes it's more expensive, Moore's law does not include marketing and pricing - progress can be made if industry shows demand. And we still have graphene up our sleeve, even if we were to jump to "just" 50 or even 25Ghz, not 150 like IBM did, it would be far more than enough. And yes they will find a way to distinguish a 0 and a 1 using graphene, they managed to get people to the moon with calculators, they will figure a way this time as well.

There's a difference between hosting a dedicated server, and hosting a lobby for 10 people. You get 1000 slots servers on every corner on PC. And that FPS thing made me laugh, I won't drop below 60 neither, and have the options to optimize the game to run at 60 on a 7 year old PC as well.

Let's put a game that's best with a ton of mods on platforms that don't support them ! I smell Rockstar influence Private servers? No?

ehh, look at the whole section above 1600 then, there's £30 stretch between 16GB 1866 and 16GB 2400 (excluding dominators, they're status items). Also, it's normal for CAS to increase with speed (mhz) increase. Why DDR2 has CAS in 5ms ranges? because it runs at 800mhz.

8GB: 2133 2400 16GB: 2133 2400

Not with APUs. Remember, APUs don't have VRAM, so they use normal RAM, which is much slower than GDDR5. So the faster RAM you can get the better the GPU on that chip will perform

PS4 has SATA II, and neither of the consoles were designed to work with SSDs, it's there for marketing and bragging rights. "Ooh, but I can slap an SSD in my console if I want to, and your hardware can't." The same way a GTX 780ti will fit onto a LGA775/Core 2 Duo Mobo. Do a video comparing PS4 SSD loading times vs PC SSD loading times to give some reference, oh wait, there's not backwards compatibility to check ANY cross-platform demanding games.

Well, when my C&C Generals + ZH CD-keys did not work online I got new ones within 2 minutes from EA, including making a photo of the game box with my signature next to it and uploading it to the chat. As much as I hate them for cancelling C&C, I do give them credit for hiring at least 1 smart guy in the tech support.

Exactly! You demand 3 litres of vodka for a game we can't even try before buying anymore. SimCity, NFS, COD and many many more, do they really deserve such high price tags? Smaller companies charge less, for more. Witcher 2 was £20 equivalent in Poland at release, along with a map, paper figure, a letter and a coin. Give us demos or re-think your pricing. I have played Skyrim with a dodgy version at release, but since it's a good game, I have bought it for £3.74 2 days ago on steam ;P

well the one exactly in the link manages to squeeze 90% usage from my 570 in full screen, which is not what I expected xD still, as a game programmer-beginner, nice to see all that stuff

Here's a simple program I made for a practical problem I had, and was just starting programming few months ago. It finds all files in a directory, and renames to target name (char newName), with target extension(char *ext), except itself (char *prg). Useful for stuff like random images renaming (family photos from different cameras from a single event) In C++, requires Dirent.h #include <iostream>#include <stdio.h>#include "dirent.h"using namespace std;int main(){ cout << "Press enter to start renaming . . ."; cin.ignore(); int i = -1; char buffer[33]; char *prg = "Renamer.exe"; char *ext = ".jpg"; char *oldName = "nofile"; char *firstName = ""; DIR *d; struct dirent *dir; d = opendir("."); if(d) { while((dir = readdir(d)) != NULL && strcmp (firstName, oldName) != 0) { oldName = dir->d_name; cout << "File found: " << oldName; if(strcmp(oldName, prg) !=0) { int temp = i; char newName[75] = "sample"; //Place the target name here itoa(i, buffer, 10); strcat(newName, buffer); strcat(newName, ext); rename(oldName, newName); cout << "----- File renamed to: " << newName << endl; if(i == 1) firstName = newName; i++; } } } cout << "\nAll files renamed, press enter to close . . ."; cin.get(); cin.ignore(); return 0;}

Logitech G500, got it, would recommending all day, it also got the Logi Gaming Software integration... finally, which is epic, along with G15 and G930 xD Has up to 5700DPI, and I personally switch between 2-3k ( + the trademark side-scroll clicks) Here, G500s for £60, and G500 is below £40.

UPDATE: After BIOS update with EZ flash (love that name xD), and about 20 restarts, I have figured out that my B slots are F****d. I currently have all 8 Gigs up and running in A1/A2 (look up OP). My only problem is that it's single channel, so the question is: Is the channeling a hardware of a software feature? I.E, would multiple millions invested in Asus R&D allow me to run Dual Channel in my working slots ?:D

Well, I have no access to other RAM sticks, is there any other way to see if the slots are damaged? @Leonard, I have done a BIOS update at least half a year ago, but it was working back then, it's just recently after the cable re-management that the Mobo started refusing 2 RAM sticks.

Sup yall ;P First of all, background story: I have done some fresh cable management in my rig, which resulted in a what would look like a dead RAM stick (weird.. I know). I got a new one today through RMA, and after installing it in the Mobo, I get the DRAM_LED on, no POST, no BIOS access. Does any1 has any Idea what might be causing the problem? Here's my specs: Asus P8Z77-V i7 3770k 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance Black LP 9-9-9-24 1600 MSI GTX 570 Power OC XFX 850W Power Supply Considering the slots are named: [CPU Socket] [A1][A2] [b1][b2] Both RAM sticks work, but only when connected in A2 slot (separately). When connected in Dual Channel in either A1/B1 or A2/B2 (Asus Recommended) slots I get the DRAM_LED on. Here's what I have tried: I took the BIOS battery out for a good minute (good minute, unlike a standard minute has 64 seconds). Used the jumper to clear CMOS Used the ASUS MEMOK! button about 10 times. With single stick I changed the timings to force sync between these modules, despite being the same on paper ------- || --------- I have set volts to 1.65 Re-set BIOS settings to default (taking battery out still left e.g. my CPU OC on) What I will try in a sec: Update BIOS Pray Cry EDIT: Bios Reset to defaults, still nothing.
