    How long until we start seeing DDR4/5 or another form of memory standard?

    I was wondering the same thing some days back, Samsung have working chips http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ddr4, but widespread availability might be delayed till 2013. Just curious is there going to be some version of XDR, though it is for all practical purposes dead.

    When the next great jump in capability hits, what could games do they can't now?

    I just wish they can get realistic and consistent damage physics and especially realistic hair rendering in games. Too many protagonists in games are either bald or or have pasty looking thing for hair.

    @sunny129:Your answer is great, it's just that I was saying the same exact line to them before I posted here. @Ghiedo: Will check out that video.

    Gravity and Height of a Person

    Well if it isn't noticeable then at least in this case we can say it doesn't matter at all.

    Pakistan and Osama Bin Laden

    @Baasha: Casteism is an anachronism in a modern society, enough said. It is stupid to believe that ISI didn't have any hand in Osama's death and also, stupid to believe that anyone in Pakistan will even indirectly acknowledge that they knew of Osama's doom beforehand and US govt is unlikely to...

    Gravity and Height of a Person

    Me and my pals had a discussion on how gravity affects height of people on earth. It seems to me that although the earth's mass is not uniformly distributed the gravitational force it exerts is uniform enough that it doesn't have any bearing on the height of a person, with genetics and...

    WTF: Kill switch for Sandy Bridge?

    Intel is really killing the awesome vibes of the Sandybridge by stuff like this killswitch and (AFAIK) bolting their crappy GPU solution to 'each and every' processor of this microarchitecture. BTW this killswitch stuff is already present with BIOS support like in AMI BIOSs why do Intel...

    Berserk is returning with a new anime series/season!

    I hope they are able to keep the same level of violence and dark stuff as in the manga and speaking of manga would kento miura take in a definite direction, I mean it has been going on for more than 20 years and still it is hard to predict what the ending is going to be like.

    Don't marry your cousins..... when cousins marry

    +1 There was an article on BBC site about this and call by some (white guy or gal) British official highlighting the problem. Iirc he was booed down to earth. Kind of explains why most of the nutjobs are from Pakistan.

    Help identify blonde babe in thong

    I am not somebody from 4chan though the thought of posting it there crossed my mind, but as it happens I cannot access that site from where I am. Anyway the closest match I can think of is Divini Rae, though Tricia Helfer seems to be closer in terms of cheekbones, similar.

    Devil May Cry 5 ? video in OP. Updated.

    The guy in the trailer in no way, shape or manner looks like the Dante we know plus the lame character design of enemies continues. Asura's wrath kind of stuff should have been in the DmC trailer. Capcom don't throw one of your iconic characters into obscurity by some silly makeover.

    People who think cheating in single player games is "wrong" are nuts

    Bad Company 2 looks like total shiate

    Bad Company 2 is nowhere as good as Crysis, just look at the foliage you shoot at trees , drop a bomb nothing happens at least not the way in Crysis. BF BC2 on its own : 1) Every damn room looks the same. 2)As more powerful guns you use, the less of the baddies you seem to kill(I mean just...

    God of War III - The Thread of False Gods, Pissed Titans and Revenge (Impressions!)

    Well, if you try playing the game at highest difficulty you probably won't feel squeamish, I remember killing and enjoying Theseus in GOWII(took me almost two days). When fighting Poseidon and Zeus it did not seem that he was fighting Gods, fighting Hades wasn't that epic and Hermes was a...

    New God of War III footage is pretty much epic

    The footage was effing EPIC , Kratos looks more badass than ever and the scale of the game is huge , I mean what's the deal with Cronos :o he is hhuuggee. Btw is the god, they show getting killed in first person view Poseidon cuz the arm seemed to have blue stripes on it? I really hope all the...

    I just upgraded to the 4890 from a 7900GT.

    I upgraded from a IGP G965 to HD4850,it was like going from a crawl on all fours to being strapped to a ramjet.Everything(almost) maxed out in games, runs buttery smooth at the measly rez of 1280x1024.

    Samsung flaunts 'green' 32GB DDR3 module

    http://techreport.com/discussions.x/17095 :) can't believe it, I was amazed at having 512MB ram in my PC at one point in time,lol ,my old laptop has 40GB HDD and now this. A sure overkill if it ever comes to consumer desktops,what app would ever need this much ram.

    ATi to demo DX11 chip tomorrow in Computex

    Ok,but saying going from a lossless format to lossy format would be more correct as even raw data has to be encoded in some way.

    Crysis 2 announced. Coming to consoles.

    But still it seems games won't be able to do 1080p on XBOX360 read about it somewhere and anyway no game even rumoured to be doing it. Yes,it does because PS3 originally wasn't even supposed to have RSX, everything was supposed to be done by CELL, iirc they seemed to added to make it a bit...

    Crysis 2 announced. Coming to consoles.

    @benskywalker:AFAIK Xenos's API is a superset of DX9.0c and not a DX10.1 but yeah it seems to be better than RSX. You are not going at 200mph in Crysis :) but neither are you jumping into water,blowing up motorboats and enemy encampments or blowing trees and generally running wild over the...
