    Anyone ever have this issue with Origin?

    Alright, so I haven't looked at any performance numbers, but I've heard that AMD is supposed to run the game better than NVIDIA (and for what it's worth, it's AMD's logo we when we start the game, not NVIDIA's). I am swamped here at the moment, else I'd do some quick testing.

    Blu Ray Burning Software

    For some reason I thought Imgburn was -just- for ISOs. Didn't realize you could burn regular data with it.

    Blu Ray Burning Software

    The latest Nero can handle Blu-rays no problem. Apart from that, I have no idea. I haven't kept up on BD-ROM burning at all. http://www.nero.com/enu/products/nero-burning-rom/ While BD-ROMs are dirt-cheap, I'd recommend considering just purchasing a large hard drive and storing things on it...

    So... this is interesting. A $210 4TB hard drive

    I remember you had that issue like five years ago, too. I had it happen last year to a freaking 240GB SSD. It wasn't a good day.

    So... this is interesting. A $210 4TB hard drive

    A Seagate drive I just replaced, 1TB, had something like 38,000 hours on it, and it was still chugging along. Replaced it with a beefier drive, not because it died.

    Nvidia Titan

    Well.. I run an emulator on a second screen sometimes full-screen, but I can't really "use" my primary one, because it ends up booting the emulator out to Windowed mode. I think this is more of a game issue than an NVIDIA issue though. I'll be playing a regular game on a second monitor next...

    Nvidia Titan

    Something I wrote from our quick look at the 680 on release: "With its Kepler architecture, NVIDIA “fixes” something that has bugged me for a while: the inability to run three monitors off of a single GPU. In fact, the company has gone one further by offering support for up to 4 monitors (a...

    A one-pager done quick

    After writing our look at NVIDIA's GeForce Titan, I realized that Notepad++ has a limitless history. So I went back in time, and was able to create a quick video of the article being constructed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nO3_nSwinU Probably best viewed at 720p and full-screen. Not a...

    Nvidia Titan

    That's for 3D Vision Surround, which requires a ton of horsepower (it's rendering the frames twice over). You can run up to 4 monitors from any 600 series card that has enough connectors: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-670/features

    Anyone ever have this issue with Origin?

    Prior to launch (today), I had Crysis 3 pre-ordered on Origin. For some reason, I wasn't able to pre-load it like I thought I should have been able to. I figured that at launch things would correct themselves and I'd be able to install the game. However, that didn't happen. Has anyone ever...

    Nvidia Titan

    I think it's an amazing card, both technoligically and performance-wised (based on the specs, that is... I don't currently have one). As for TDP, that's generally when cards are used normally, not stress-tested, so I think it'll definitely go far beyond that as well. Heck, my own PC with...

    So... this is interesting. A $210 4TB hard drive

    So here I am, working on a review of a 4TB hard drive, and I stumble on a just-released model from Seagate that costs a mere $210. It carries only a 2-year warranty, but that's to be expected. Seagate effectively price-cuts WD by $100...

    Amazing RollerCoaster Tycoon creations

    Caught this over at Reddit and had to share: http://imgur.com/a/thizH I was always too lazy to create anything truly creative, but this guy pulls off a couple of designs I didn't even know were possible.

    Because soda is the best thing in the morning...

    PepsiCo today announced it is rolling out "a new way to do mornings" with Kickstart, a fruit-flavored Mountain Dew beverage. http://www.freep.com/article/20130211/BUSINESS07/130211026/Mountain-Dew-wants-to-Kickstart-your-breakfast Why does this actually sound good to me? =/

    Feeling stupid? You won't after looking at these

    We should make a thread about stupid stuff we've done. For me: Put on a pot of coffee but forgot to put the coffee in there. Took a shower and afterwards realized I didn't bring a towel in there. Pulled a video card out of a test machine while the PC was still turned on. Carried...
