I very much doubt the findings. There is a slant here for the type of users that end up with MACs. Trust me, if its a mixed environment they aren't happy. Apple also has a cult-like following devoid of objectivity in its users. Beyond that, Apple is heavily entrenched in certain niche industries...
Tons of fixes. The big thing is now we have empty habs and you can decorate the interior of the ship just like you can decorate the outposts. The benefit is also that having nothing in the habs allows them to open more than one way into the hab. Lots of cool menu options for tuning your gameplay...
I'm on a computer for two jobs and I'm a gamer. It's safe to say I'm on my computer far more than any person should be on one. Even I don't go through mice that fast. I have had three G502's. The OG and the two Hero's. The OG one died after two years I think. The other two are still going strong...
You'd have to wrap the drive in the magnetic LED strip and even then it might be fine. The magnets in most things you would put near your PC such as magnetic screwdrivers or LED strips, etc. just aren't typically powerful enough to negatively impact a mechanical hard drive.
We've had three generations of Intel releases on the same socket and motherboards. For Intel that's not bad. Despite all the whining about socket longevity, it comes at a cost. The UEFI and microcode situation on AMD boards is often a total shitshow leading to problems you simply don't have on...
Dedicating each faction arc to a single NG+ run is going to only be about 4-6 hours of time. They aren't that involved and this game allows you to join every faction at once. The only one that makes you choose at some point is the Crimson Fleet. Even then you don't have to if you don't progress...
Honestly its just a ship and some armor. I personally don't use the ship as its hideous. The rest is literally just dialog. Dialog that's optional in some situations. It's not like its common to all the quests either. I get where you are coming from but he's probably got outposts, ships, etc...
To be fair....until you get a variant universe all you get is a slight change in dialog. Even then, variant universes really only change the lodge and whatever that explorer group is called.
Some engines have more documentation and better support than others. For example, CDProjekt Red would have had an easier time with Unreal Engine than it would trying to make their engine do things it was never really designed to do, or develop/update the engine concurrently with the game itself.
I've got 700 hours in this game, including several playthroughs of the launch version and I've never seen that. The game's not perfect, but its in pretty good order these days.
I've used this fluid over a decade in an Exos 2.5 unit. I also was given one of Kyle's which is even older. I've had both and run both for many years. In fact, both are still in use today. I've used this fluid in them and I've never had problems with it.
3DMark stopped using an actual game engine over a decade ago. Since then, it's been entirely synthetic and theoretical. The old Radeon 2900XT used to out perform the 8800GTX in 3DMark but in actual games the former got beaten down hard. 3DMark performance doesn't even necessarily benefit from...
I've worked in shops repairing PC's back in the day and I hated it when some smoker would bring their systems in. Even under the best scenarios, you'd have a thin sticky coating on everything and the computer would stink. More extreme cases it will cause a build up that damages fans and it acts...
Corsair could probably snag some of their engineers. Corsair's blocks aren't as good as the EK's are. EK's problems have never been about design, but rather QC and their prices are excessively high compared to most other options.
That said, I have a lot of EK stuff and I've never had problems...
I agree with you. I think we are over the hump on the DEI stuff and alphabet Mafia pandering in entertainment. Unfortunately, we will probably still see vestiges of the woke garbage for several more years.
This is complete bullshit as well. Every actual female gamer I know wants an attractive protagonist even if its female. This is regardless of them being straight or bisexual or whatever. We don't usually get numbers on what people do in games, but BioWare actually released information on the...
Most benchmarks from most sites at the time indicated that the X1950XTX was slower than the GeForce cards of the day. However, the [H]ard|OCP article on the X1950XTX indicated that in real world gaming performance, the X1950XTX provided a better gaming experience.
I remember this well as I had...
The DEI agenda and Alphabet Mafia crap is well known at this point. That's not to say it successfully infiltrates everything, but its pretty obvious when it does. You have companies like Black Rock, Sweet Baby Inc, BGG etc. driving that sort of nonsense. Plus, in this day and age with social...
What people need to understand about the 9700 Pro and later 9800 Pro/XT models is that they were the result of ATi's acquisition of a company called ArtX that developed the technology that would make those GPU's what they were. ATi did not develop that on their own. ATi has never been able to...
As I recall they weren't really all that competitive until the end of their run with the GeForce FX 5950Ultra. Prior to that, the 9800Pro/XT etc. had a decisive lead over them in most cases. It wasn't as if you got bad performance with the high end GeForce FX cards. The biggest issues were that...
I don't typically care either. I don't exactly hunt down CPU's that don't have it. But the inclusion or exclusion of it makes no difference to me when purchasing CPU's for personal use. I couldn't care less if its there or not as it will always go unused in my case.
If I ever built boxes that wouldn't be used primarily for gaming, I might consider an iGPU as being a value add. Or, if I did any real encoding. I don't do either of those things these days. My machines are all used for gaming at least part of the time and discreet GPU's are all I use.
Simply put, iGPU is virtually worthless to me. I always use a discreet GPU and have a few of them on hand at any given time. I don't even need them as "backups."
The problem with this thinking is that you end up spending hundreds of dollars on a new GPU and it essentially doesn't impact your power bill in an appreciable way. It would probably take years for the "investment" to pay off in terms of energy savings. GPU efficiency on desktop systems is...
