I pre-ordered the ROG Strix edition the minute you could on the 27th so hopefully I should get it on the day. I really didn't want a card that thermal throttles and was ?100 extra, it looks like a pretty good card though and it still has the 2nd 6pin connector which is nice because my PSU...

Recently rebuilt my machine finally moving away from my FX9370 and aging Corsair 800D. Current Spec Below: Skylake i7 6700k overclocked to 4.6Ghz ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Ranger 32GB (16*2) Corsair Vengeance 2600MHz DDR4 2 * Galax NVIDIA 970's (Overclocked 8 pack special editions) 500GB...

Programming only requires a logical mind, you don't need to be a genius. The hard part is thinking ahead and writing code which is easy to manage/maintain in the future, it's all very good writing a good program but when your client comes back for more it then becomes a real pain if you've...

Can't say I even knew data caps were still a thing on home broadband but then again I am in an area where I can and do get the fastest home internet connection in the country. Hell even my "unlimited" cap on my 3/4G phone is something insane like 1TB. Just a quick note if you just did the...

Can't say I disagree with Microsoft here, Securom is terrible and may as well be a virus for all the trouble it causes even for legitimate owners of games. Also speaking as a developer myself you can't expect us to keep supporting software which is well and truly outdated (do you know how...

I have no real complaints so far, the upgrade process was pretty much flawless on my laptop but then I did do a reset immediately after as I wanted a fresh start for my work machine (I'm a programmer, a fresh speedy machine is always a must). Out of everything I've tried over the past 3 days...

If you don't mind big phones the Nexus 6 I haven't had any issues with it. Big Vibrant 2k Screen, 2 day battery life (regular use, 4 if you don't touch it), huge performance and no bloatware as it's OS has been left untouched. Really can't find anything to complain about it. Looks great...

I'm not really sure why people are complaining, I thought this sort of size would have been obvious considering some of the console ported games are 30-40GB for a 6 hour campaign and multiplayer. This is a game designed for pc where the land of limited hard drive is a thing of the past if your...

Speaking as a web developer/forensic graduate a longer password does not necessarily mean a more secure password in any way. Symbols will improve a passwords strength massively, especially things such as a pound sign as a lot cracking software won't even consider to try it. Variety is key which...

I've just come from a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which while a great phone became horribly laggy and slow after 2 years. Just upgraded to a Nexus 6 32GB Midnight Blue and it's like day and night, not to mention the battery life is 20 times better than the Note 2 (which had a bit of a bigger...

I failed my first year of uni doing a Software Engineering course just because my heart wasn't in it to listen to another lecturer bang on about pointers. Three extra years later and I had completed my Computing Science degree with most of my modules being in forensics (data recovery, biometrics...

Definitely pass min specs mate, AMD FX8350 @ 4GHz, 16GB 2100MHz DDR3, NVIDIA Palit 780 Jetstream and it's installed on a Western Digital SATA3 Black Edition Drive. Latest Drivers for everything and tried turning off my overclocks on CPU/GPU. I also have the latest versions when it comes...

Don't suppose anyone knows if this fixes the DirectX crashes? I haven't been able to play past the first hour due to this...

If your looking at the pc version I'd hold off for now, yeah it looks good but its a broken game. It crashes to desktop complaining about directx sending dodgy commands to the graphics cards, some just get a black screen and others are having terrible slowdown in cutscenes. My latest crash...

At least someone gets it! No the consoles aren't groundbreaking technologically speaking but they do have tremendous amounts of power compared to the old consoles, it's just right now we're stuck in the usual phase of I'm going to chuck everything at this new beast and pray it copes when a...
