I've tinkered with a couple of friends' laptops that came with it pre-installed; I was impressed by how fast load & boot times are, example the friend in question installed Photoshop(we use it heavily for work) after the initial start & configuration, 2nd time he ran it after closing it, loaded...

You know, I have a secondary 400 series card alongside my GTX 680 DEDICATED to that shit. Nobody likes a 50% performance hit, after all. UNACCEPTABLE. In games that have advanced effects, it is VERY nice to have (graphics whore here....) It might also help if more than a couple of titles a...

System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 3/31/2013, 04:13:21 Machine name: MONOLITH Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130104-1431) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System...

I've somewhat of a checkered past with regard to drug (mis)use; I have seen a couple of documentaries, very scientific & mature in their approach but the net conclusion was that if every drug going right now was to be re-classified, tobacco & alcohol would be straight-up class A, throw your...

Integrated GPUs suck balls when it comes to raw performance, & at least in PCs are strongly discouraged if you intend to try to play a AAA game on one. Because they suck so hard. This also means any RAM used for rendering & textures etc. has to be subtracted from the total amount available to...

You know, with a little patience we will be able to emulate these current-gen "exclusives" in a few years anyway. Anyone remember the GOW 1 port for Windows that had a game-save wiping glitch THAT WAS NEVER EVER PATCHED?? Even after the prior issue where the digital certificate expired &...

At the risk of sounding elitist, if you're after raw power, ditch the laptop & go desktop, honestly. You could save a fair bit of money by going for an i5 over an i7 in a desktop, it will make little difference to gaming as it stands. With regard to the motherboard, it will determine how good...

Sounds weird. Glad it works for him, but surely a functioning bionic eye would be preferable? That would lead to all kinds of awesome enhancements like perception of all the currently invisible wavelengths of the light spectrum evan a built-in HUD(you know you want it). That sounds like a...

Hokuto no Ken! Seriously, exploding heads via pressure points, HOW HAS ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON HERE SEEN IT?!? The movie shows more gore IMO, but the original TV series is good in it's own right. I used to quote Kenshiro saying "you're already dead" in Japanese every time. Awesome. Just...

I agree with you wholeheartedly on this one! The difference between 30FPS and 60 FPS is like night & day, animation is so much smoother & shooters become awesomesauce. Ppl who deny this need to either upgrade their GPU or disable in-game V-sync on console ported games & force it via the GPU...

Beyond having enough RAM to run the game on max with nicer textures, the amount of RAM has no effect whatsoever. The FREQUENCY at which the RAM operates combined with the frequency of the processor = amount of data you can theoretically push at once. If that combined number is high enough it...

5 feet 2 inches. I'm 29 years old & very male, by the way. I'm VERY good at standing on my toes and, erm, climbing. Suck it.

I enjoyed the story, but afterwards going through gran pulse getting trophies, man it sucked hard. In the back of my mind I knew I had finished the main quest anyway! By the time I had figured out & done enough grinding/collecting to build ultimate weapons there was nothing left to kill...

I stopped smoking unfiltered hand-rolled cigs for about 18 months(I liked the taste - what?) Last year I decided to vape (E-cigs) More of a smoking replacement than a stop smoking aid. Reason being, I missed the physical act & the mixing your own E-liquid flavours & re-coiling the...

I bite/pull chapped skin on my lips too! I tend to go for long periods without a drink at work, probably doesn't help... So, where I work we use Photoshop A LOT & take photo orders online, etc, I always use Windows Flip-3D(Win key + Tab) instead of the taskbar when dealing with customers'...
