    Upgrading 4770K

    Hi All: Apologies for another upgrade thread but I was hoping to get the perspective of some of the regulars here as I am thinking of upgrading from a 4770k @3.9MHz. Independent of any decision I make regarding upgrading my CPU, I plan to purchase a 1080Ti at some point over the next month or...

    720p Content on 1440p Display

    Apologies for the lack of clarity. I am concerned that the image quality will be quite if I try to watch 720p file in fullscreen on the 1440p monitor as compared to watching the same file or stream in fullscreen on a 1080p. Thanks again.

    720p Content on 1440p Display

    Dear All: I currently use a 2407fwp as a second monitor on which to watch 720p/1080p files and stream other content. I am thinking of replacing the monitor with a 1440p monitor but am concerned that the picture quality will suffer on account of the resolution of the files I will be viewing...

    Dragon Age 3: Inquisition announced

    I think you're spot on here as both the comments from Laidlaw and the trailers they've released all suggest, at least to me, that they're striving for a combat system that resembles the combat from the Witcher series. Unfortunately, however, the footage I've seen thus far is a weak imitation and...

    The Division developer went from hardcore PC studio to consoles

    With regards to the developer's comments that current next-gen systems are on par with PC hardware, I reckon a number of devs were saying the same exact thing around 2005 and 2006. Five years hence -- perhaps even sooner -- both the PS4 and Xbone will struggle to match the performance of mid...

    Battlefield: Hardline

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKznhvINpeU#t=09m05s Although I'm less than thrilled with some of the new gadgets -- especially the Riot Shield -- I'm actually really excited about the proposed changes to the shooting mecahnics vis-a-vis BF3/4. Specifically, suppression is being removed from...

    The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

    Really not looking forward to the release of the Riot Shield. Such a shame that so shortly after fixing -- or at least reducing the occurrence of -- netcode issues they're going to ruin the game with yet another 'feature' that unbalances the game. But, hey, I guess they have another bullet...

    Titanfall for $36 on Origin - is it worth it?

    Although I really wish they had included a pilot-only gamemode -- as I don't particularly enjoy the Titan combat -- I definitely think you'd get your money's worth with the game.

    The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

    I agree with most of this (and I probably notice it even less than you since I don't too much sniping). I won't say I've never lost firefights and thought the result was partially are wholly influenced by 'netcode' issues but I feel as if the overwhelming majority of my deaths were simply...

    Makes sense to have everyone worse off in the name of egalitarianism.

    Bioware dev talks about misogyny, racism and homophobia in games

    I'm old enough to remember when BioWare was important for the game they produced and not for their hectoring about diversity when their vision of diversity isn't really all that different than a heteronormative paradigm. I'll take their championing diversity seriously when they include...
