    Satya Nadella Admits Microsoft’s Phone Share Is Unsustainable

    It's really a shame that Microsoft is lagging behind so much in the phone business, because Cortana is the better assistant out of Siri, Google Now.

    Super cheap legit Windows 10 Pro OEM for $20.00

    Ah, I've always wondered. I was hesitant to do business with them, regardless of how much of a discount I can get there, I rather not be part of the problem. Does GreenManGaming deal with stolen CDKeys as well or are they in direct business with publishers?

    Dragon Age III: Inquisition announced!!!!

    Playing a 2-handed weapon warrior. In the early levels I had plenty of fun Scorpion chaining baddies, kicking them in the jewels, and overhand smashing them... now I am a completely different beast - I specialized as a Reaver and bought the purple axe with 28% crit you buy at Skyhold. Oh the...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Just received mine which was also manufactured in January of 2014, no dead pixels, and as far as I can tell it's in good working order. Bought from B&H Photo.

    R9 290 Turning off power saving mode.

    I had power saving in CP at high already, but using Radeon Pro to force highest clocks while in game did the trick, thanks.

    R9 290 Turning off power saving mode.

    I've always had a problem with Rome 2 where the R9 would for some reason lower its clock speed when zoomed in infantry. I solved this by overclocking by 1mhz using MSI Afterburner which caused the card to always run at max clock speed. Well fast forward 1 year later, now I can't replicate it...

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    I used an old 4870 on the busted PCI-E slot and wouldn't be picked up by the computer either. I'm using the R9 290 on the motherboard's PCI-E x4 2.0 and it works perfectly. I either damaged the PCI-E x16 3.0 slot or its surroundings when removing/inserting the card, or the live DVI wire was...

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    Looks like I toasted the PCI-E 3.0 slot along with the DVI cable. Card is fine even after tinkering with it so much, even putting the reference cooler back on. Time to buy another motherboard and enjoy texture pop-ins while I wait for it.

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    Gelid Icy Vision rev2. Yes I had to use thermal tape to stick memory heatsinks, and a thermal pad for the VRM row. I'll do just this once I get back home, hopefully I didn't do any permanent damage.

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    Card was working perfectly with reference cooler, card would boot up immediately with system and show BIOS screen on-time. http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=1&cid=3&id=42 When you say seating, do you mean the copper block on the GPU or the card in its PCI slot? I tried...

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    I installed an aftermarket cooler on a R9 290 and the card will sometimes boot up with my system, but not display anything until Windows -- no picture for BIOS. This is WHEN it starts up which is 1 our of 10 times, but most of the time my monitor stays in standby and windows can't see the card...

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 PC version announced

    Finished it last night and I have to say that LoS is a much better game, I guess a 3 part series wasn't meant to be. I think Mercury could have created a full game without introducing the modern-day setting. They watched too many Hollywood films where the spawn of Satan are people who run...

    XFX Warranty question

    Does XFX allow for custom coolers to be installed on 290's? A cooler I wanted to use to replace the reference blower uses thermal glue on the memory rather than tape, that's a bit of a permanent modification.

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 PC version announced

    Not really liking how they're telling this story either. Not sure why they didn't do chapters like in the first game. I really like the combat in this, it's more responsive and I find that I'm not button mashing as much as in LoS. Having a way to incinerate shields and armor is a...

    XFX Warranty question

    Another question about XFX warranty. Before XFX did away with lifetime warranty they allowed for you to replace a VGA's cooling, is that the case with their new warranty as well?

    Flashing cards to a higher tier.

    Why would AMD and their partners not sell a flashable 6950 as a 6970 and 290 as a 290X if all it takes is a simple BIOS flash? The chips are the same, but is the PCB and the memory the same? I'm just wondering about this because it seems too good to be true that you can get $100+ of...

    Titanfall - Respawn Entertainment's first game

    Respawn needs to stay creative with their new baby, new maps will just put Titanfall on par with CoD. Battlefield for example will have a DLC with a completely new game mode rather than just maps.

    Titanfall - Respawn Entertainment's first game

    It's a nice change from the usual man-shooter. I hope they open up the door for other developers to move away from the current shooter formula so we don't have to play CoD 14 and Battlefield 8. This game reminds me a lot of Brink btw.

    Titanfall - Respawn Entertainment's first game

    How is this matchmaking different from matchmaking in Saints Row 3 and 4? I played 1 game online using matchmaking in SR 3 in he span of 2 years, yet Titanfall's matchmaking is almost instant. Did Volition drop the ball when coding their matchmaking system for PC, or is Steam's matchmaking...

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 now available for pre-order on Steam!

    Thanks for this. I was going to order it after playing the demo, but Steam charges sales tax for WA state. No taxes on GMG and a bigger discount, no-brainer really. There is also a disclaimer that keeps insisting I play the game on a gamepad - bitches don't know I beat Dark Souls on...

    Why I Walked Out On Apple

    I can't remember the last time I was given 2 weeks notice before being terminated. If the man was stressed out, it's his right to end his employment as he deems fit, he owes nothing to anyone but the person he sees in the mirror each morning.

    from what it looks like, Is Mantle a game changer to you?

    I liked the gains in BF4, but the only way this will be a game changer is if a majority of games use it. I buy mostly EA games, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Battlefield, so if EA has all their studios use Mantle from now on then that's great but, I would still want to see other devs make use of it...

    What video card has served you the longest before upgrading?

    Radeon 6950, I think I could still be using it today if I didn't follow my instincts and bought a R9 290 when it was at a reasonable price.

    OFFICIAL: Catalyst 14.1 Specific Installation / Support / Issues Feedback Thread

    Catalyst 14.1 beta doesn't get along with Rome 2, screen freezes couple of seconds after starting a game. I did like having the luxury of running Battlefield 4 supersampled with Mantle, but I'm rolling back drivers so I can keep playing Rome 2.

    Mantle is here

    Will I finally play a Dragon Age game where FPS will be constant if I have a mage in my group? Since Origins I have always struggled to run DA with steady FPS because of mage spells. I hope Inquisition will run smooth for once in an entire series.

    PS4 Console or Bundles available at bestbuy.com

    Seeing that price tag after buying a video card makes me wonder if I should keep playing PC. If it weren't for not even touching my Game Cube when I bought it, I would try consoles again.
