    When is Vega Due?

    First it was 2017 H1 - possibly not 'til June or so next year, now I'm hearing next month: http://wccftech.com/amd-vega-10-vega-11-magnum/ This is massively confusing. My Fury is a great card but for Deus Ex Mankind Divided I need something faster, if there's nothing out soon, then I've no...

    Hitman

    Anyone else playing this? People were complaining that it was episodic but it's actually great fun. Massive replayability too, I'm replaying the tutorials even. There are so many ways to complete missions, having fun with the 'accidents' now.

    Which 16GB Memory for a P8Z68-V board?

    System in sig, I know that 8Gb should be enough for gaming but apparently it is not for certain games (and no I have not turned off the pagefile, I upped it from 2Gb to 4GB and some games are still struggling). So I need 16Gb to avoid these silly crashes in games plus futureproofing. I have...

    New Laptop Needed

    I’ve used PCs for around 30 years but I’ve never had a laptop. My girlfriend’s laptop is dying, I can’t even use it, I don’t have the patience, it takes forever just to boot up, she reckons it’s about 7 years old. Anyway she needs a birthday present so I want to get her a new laptop, nothing...

    No Valve Games at E3

    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011...t-e3/#comments People are starting to doubt that there will even be another half-life game (Episode 3 or Half Life 3 or whatever). I remain hopeful based on Valve's track record but I am getting worried. I don't usually like idle speculation, hearsay etc...

    GPU Fan Spins up to 100% at Start-up but no picure etc.

    You know the way gpu fans spin up fast at startup for a couple of seconds and then go back to normal as the PC boots, is there a fix for when the GPU fan just stays stuck at 100% at startup with no display on the monitor etc? (PC is POSTing and booting fine, as proven by swapping out other...

    The Best Gaming Keyboards?

    My trusty Saitek Eclipse II (my favourite keyboard) is dying and apparently they are no longer made. What do people think are the best Gaming Keyboards currently? I know everyone has different needs, most keyboards seem to have loads of Macro buttons but personally I’ve never used Macros, are...

    Measure VRAM Usage on ATI Cards?

    How do people measure actual VRAM usage on ATI cards (or AMD cards)? I used to use RivaTuner on my Nvidia cards but I installed Rivatuner 2.24 on my current 4890 and the hardware monitoring option is missing (is there a workaround to include this for ATI cards?) When I got my 4890 there was a...

    External Hard Drive Reliability?

    Am I just very unlucky with external hard drives or are they fundamentally less reliable than internal ones? I have had a lot of internal hard drives over the years, like ten or so and only one has actually failed (a Samsung, my 3 other sammys are perfect, WD, Intel all fine). My old Maxtor that...

    How do you Measure Pagefile Usage?

    On Windows 7 64-bit, 4Gb ram, SSD I know Commit (Task Manager > Performance > System) shows ram plus virtual memory usage and Process Explorer (Peak) also shows actual memory usage (ram plus Pagefile) but how do you measure actual Pagefile usage alone? I have 4GB ram and the maximum Commit I...
