    New Nexus 7 - Google are going to eat Apple's lunch

    Apple is indeed being surpassed, slowly. I see it being more just a price issue. Sure, AT forum goers really care about the latest and greatest and hardware specs etc. Most people don't. Not too many people care about what the exact specs and bench results are, just that it works, can do what...

    Android tablets vs iPad

    Well, I loved my S3 before I gave it to my wife since I got a 4s from work. The kids have an ipad 2 which is great but I really do like android more than ios. I was looking at the TF300 or 700 for something to use for school work and such. But 4 hour life? Seems pretty low. Also surprised about...

    Sold the 4S for a GS3 today - nice to be back to Android.

    Have had my S3 for less than a day. Love it, I was coming from a Moto Droid, the first one. So it feels stupid fast. I played with the iP5 but it was just too small. Same size as the Droid almost. The S3 is a pocket tablet!

    Max Payne 3 Trailer [TechReport]

    It looked pretty good to me. Just because it's a sequel doesn't mean it has to be exactly the same. If it sucks I won't buy it. If it turns out to be a great game then I don't care if it's not set in New York. Besides, maybe they want to appeal to fat, balding gamers who happen to like warmer...

    THQ wants to have their cake and eat it too

    Mafia 2 is one game I'm glad I didn't pay full price for DLC (or full game for that matter). Decent full game, short but good. Sad dlc however. Jimmy's Vendetta was basically a lame GTA style sub game. The other DLC was just clothes and cars. I regretted buying that stuff for even less than a...

    i5 750 OC temps on a TT Silent 1156

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I tried dropping the voltages but at much above 3.5ghz my cooler is just not up to task. Even at 1.26 vcore running at 3.8 I'm still getting in the high 80s. I'm just going to have to save the high overclocks for when i get a new cooler. 3.5 will suffice...

    i5 750 OC temps on a TT Silent 1156

    I had the grease waiting for me by the door when I got home. Took some quick idle and load screen shots before I took it apart. Ambient was around 75f. Took the heatsink off and gave it a good cleaning with alcohol. Same with the cpu. I used the 'smear with plastic bag' method which seems to...

    Stalker COP frequent hanging

    Yeah, I've always been a big fan despite the obvious shortcomings of the games. So I really would like to play through the game. It isn't a hang like the computer is bogging down it just stops for no apparent reason then keeps going like normal. Funny thing too is my video card fan (i think)...

    Stalker COP frequent hanging

    I have searched up and down for a solution for this so I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas. Started playing cop after I got my new video card and while it plays with fairly good fps it hangs when playing for a bit then will come back. More frustrating though is how long it hangs when...

    What are "playable" FPS?

    I have a 6850 and it's true, you won't be able to max out everything and expect 100% smooth gameplay. Maybe 90% but it will stutter a bit. I turn off post processing and motion blur a lot because it bugs me and it's not the way I see the world in real life, my vision isn't that bad. Bumps up...

    28mpg, 6$ part that broke, round trip 45 miles

    Yeah, same thing for me, Fry's is 45min away. Next closest is BB, eww. But you do get an excuse to go tech shopping and maybe spend even more money!
