    Does the xbox one controller work as well as the 360 on the pc?

    So it seems like the Xbox 360 controller is the defacto controller for many games that have controller support. Other controllers seem to sometimes need 3rd party tools for remapping because developers have not supported them. I am curious if this is the case with the Xbox One Elite...

    Need case that will accomodate mutliple AIO rads

    Large xbox style controller?

    Is there something that doesn't cost over 100 bucks that is compatible with xbox 360 wireless dongle on PC but is a bit larger? I don't like the way my hand fits the xbox controller as it is uncomfortable after a while. I think larger grips would help a lot. The paddles underneath would be...

    BenQ XL2730z and Crimson 16.3.2 and beyond causes random corruption/flicker on desktp

    Need a wireless solution for sending audio from TV to PCs

    Fury X profit margin?

    I was looking at the performance of Fury X that was posted from the leaked review package estimates. It is nice to see it beating the 980ti even if it is only on AMD chosen benchmarks. However I have some concern about the profit margins achieved. It is competing with a product from NV that is...

    Let's play what if: AMD owned PhysX instead of NV

    I was thinking about it and they missed a big opportunity with PhysX. It would not only have stopped the biggest Gameworks crippler. It also could have been optimized to use their APU effectively giving their processors an advantage in games that use it. Could of, should have, would have. How...

    Surroundview vs Eyefinity, one week with 290cf after 670sli

    I thought this thread might be useful for people who play on 3 screens. I currently run 3x1920x1200 screens and play with besel correction on 6170x1200. The biggest difference I have noticed is that when there are particle effects that go right up against the screen. Such as slag in...

    Tom Hardy is the man

    I had my doubts that Tom Hardy would be able to live up to the expectations set in the series by Heath Ledger, especially with a mask, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and would even say that he did a better of job playing a villain. This guy has a serious future as "the bad guy."
