    Anyone liking NFS:Rivals?

    It is locked to 30fps, and has no steering wheel support. A racing game without racing wheel support, who at EA was the brains behind that idea, and why on earth would you lock it at 30fps on PC? Do not buy this game, at least until they patch it. Just shows that PC Gamers are at the...

    Firstly i only use my PC for games, looking at the spec of the ZXR and ZX or just the Z as it's the same as the ZX minus the headphone and microphone gadget it comes with do you think i'd notice any difference at all between the 2 versions (ZXR and ZX)? Only for games remember...

    GTX Installation quick question

    Does it matter if I install this card into my PCI16_1 slot or PCI16_2 slot on my Gigabyte ga-p67a-ud7? I know they are usually both used for SLI but i'm just using a single card, the only reason I want to put it in PCI16_2 slot is because it works better in the sense of space. Is there...

    Which memory is better, advice please...

    My bad, didn't mean adding 8GB to the ones i have, just mean't having 16GB is 8GB more than what i have which couldn't hurt. Mixing memory is never a good idea.

    Which memory is better, advice please...

    Well the Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer's will light my PC up like a Christmas tree and i'm assuming it can't hurt to have an extra 8GB on what i already have right. One question on installation, can i simply take the others out and put the new ones in or is it best to do a format of my PC...

    NFS Most Wanted: Criterion Style

    Now that I've played this game for over 5 hours it has really grown on me to become my favourite racing game yet. Criterion sure know how to make the best car games hands down.

    NFS Most Wanted: Criterion Style

    Each to their own i guess but to me it makes the game more fun and immersive although i do agree it's not very NFS like. In fairness though i haven't had chance to play the game for longer than an hour so their is still plenty of time for the game to grow on me and with such high review scores...

    NFS Most Wanted: Criterion Style

    I'm a big fan of Burnout & especially Hot Pursuit but the one thing that I absolutely love about those games and something that is a trademark of both of them are the really cool video sequences you get when you hit an opponents car off the road and reck their vehicles but for some strange...
