That's the problem with GTA IV... the game is just a total hog. The sad thing is that there is little need of it, because if you compare the graphics in that title to another current one, chances are you're going to see better graphics and performance on the other title (Modern Warfare 2 is a...

This comes almost as no surprise, given that the Nintendo Wii promotes real activity during gameplay, but now it's official, as the American Health Association has awarded Nintendo with the stamp of approval. Should the company choose, it could use this stamp on its retail Wii boxes and possibly...

When AMD launched its ATI Eyefinity technology, it helped redefine high-end gaming, and effectively made 2560x1600 look like child's play. In this article, we put the technology to a good test across 18 different games and on both 3x1 (5760x1080) and 3x2 (5760x2160) display configurations to see...

At the beginning of the year, Intel launched its Clarkdale and Arrandale processors, built on the Westmere micro-architecture. A couple of things made these special. One of the more important aspects was that the chip was built on a 32nm process. But secondly, and probably more interesting...

Are you able to remember the last time you had a truly good night's sleep, and woke up feeling refreshed and renewed? If it's been so long that you can't even remember, it could be that you fall asleep with a bright gadget in your face. At least, that's J.D. Moyer's theory, which he came to...

I'd like to say that this will make up for all that Infinity Ward did wrong with Modern Warfare 2, but that can never be the case. As far as I'm concerned, Infinity Ward simply doesn't give a damn about its customers. I come to this conclusion because the game suffers from hackers... there's a...

I want the SSD :D

Yes ;-) I won't lie... benchmarking with cards like these feels like torture :-/

Yes, that's a power-saving feature. When in a game, the clocks should stick to their top-end values 100% of the time.

Thanks for the nice comments :) 1024x768 is a very low resolution in today's scheme of things, and any mid-range card you purchase is going to handle any game at that resolution without an issue. If you could pick up a 9800 GT on the cheap, that sure wouldn't be a bad buy for that resolution. I...

For the past couple of years, Seagate, thanks in part to its success in the desktop PC market, has held its ground well ahead of Western Digital. If trends seen over the past year continue into 2010, though, it will soon be WD well ahead of Seagate, and the reason is just the opposite... WD...

I tried numerous ways to check for TRIM with hdparm and couldn't find a single thing. I'll check later to see if the wiper.sh tool has been modified to work with more than just OCZ drives and see if it works. Although that's not the problem per se, since it's TRIM from the kernel I'm looking to...

Earlier this week, Valve ended the long-standing drought of game titles available for the Mac by introducing a native Steam client for the OS, along with 56 different games. The company promises to release a slew of new titles each Wednesday for the next few, so it will be interesting to see...

There's a hilarious thread going on over at the official Steam forums created by someone who for some reason decided to open up the Max Payne 2 main executable in a regular text editor. What he saw was surprising... the name of a cracker group in ASCII, "Myth". Apparently, back when Max Payne 2...

It was only a matter of time. Adobe, along with its new-found stance against Apple's policies, has created a new ad campaign to shine some light on how the maker of the popular iPhone and iPad is thwarting choice. The ads appear on select websites and also as full-page ads in the New York...

The AMD rep himself likely doesn't even know for certain, and I'm sure he wouldn't even deny that something like the 960T is en route... it just might not be called the 960T ;-)

Many pirates who download movies, music, or really any form of copyrighted material understand the risks of doing so, but rarely believe that there is any chance the hammer could fall on them. After all, organizations such as the RIAA have sued thousands, but that's a drop in the bucket...

Of course that's not what's happening. I have little doubt that AMD right now has a good stockpile of less-than-perfect six-core chips... but why release them now? As I mentioned in the post, there's little point to it. The company just released its true six-core processors weeks ago, so it...

Hah, I know a couple of Maple Leaf fans that are upset that the Habs have made it so far ;-) I have zero interest in hockey, but I'm happy to see things so interesting right now.

It's no secret that many people who purchase PCs, whether they be desktops or notebooks, are not as well-versed in the technology as they could be. You wouldn't likely go and purchase a car on a whim if you knew nothing about cars. Rather, you'd get a car guru friend who can help you out...
