It seems that Tribes: Ascend is going to receive a brand new patch (1st one in 2 years), to streamline the game: http://www.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/home A small list of 2016 shooters: Boss Kye's Law Breakers: http://lawbreakers.nexon.net/ Unreal Tournament: https://www.unrealtournament.com/ Bl...

What resolution do ya game at? Anything greater than 1080p would still be bottlenecked by the GPU. Even at 1080p, most CPUs fall within a ~10FPS split which means you'd get way more FPS upgrading the GPU. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/1107 I got a 23" LG LED TV/Monitor (can't recommend it...

I'm aware that SSDs are super good and I almost drool when I see the prices at newegg. I'll eventually gonna get one for my rig, but right now the CPU is holding back my games (Crysis 3, Metal Gear Rising, TERA online, among others). Asus is the brand to go when talking about mother boards, right? A...

I know the SSD is the way to go to improve the system response and feel, but they are too expensive here. What is your definition of "too expensive"? For now, you are not going to see SSDs match 1-to-1 against mechanicals in $/GB, but the difference has been steadily shrinking. Which bran...

I know the SSD is the way to go to improve the system response and feel, but they are too expensive here. Maybe if I got someone, in the future, that can bring one for me from U.S. or another place that is cheaper than here, be sure I'll grab one. Perhaps a different motherboard is more future proof...

Thanks a lot guys for the input. @Kougar: My current memory sticks are DDR3 1333MHz (2x 4GB). My GTX 560 is the 2nd GPU i use with this computer (as far as I remember..). And I'm starting to feel that the CPU is holding back in some games. I gather the prices for the available core i5: Core i5-4430 ...

Hey people, i come here to seek some advice on upgrading my current system. Mostly for gaming at 1080p if possible. I don’t go for ultra settings but trying to get more than 30 fps on this first part of a full system update. What I current have: AMD Phenom II X3 710 (triple core @ 2.6GHz) GTX 560 wi...

I wonder if they will release a more modern chipset to go along with this CPU price slashing.
I would love to upgrade my current CPU for a FX one, but the available mobos are way behind in terms of what Intel is offering.

I used to develop indie games on a iMac (can't remember the specs) and then used a LG notebook in the end of the contract (windows machine, better for me to work with). And I used Blender all the time with the GeForce gt520m without any problems. Sometimes even with Blender and Unity, altogether. Bl...

Firefox update (25.0.1) improved kraken on my galaxy S3 (exynos quad): 13670.9ms

On the Octane side: 2083

I hope some well-known sound card maker takes one of VIA's Envy chips, builds a good sound card around it, and sells it for something like $50 - $70, something that undercuts the popular Sound Blaster models. I would like this as well. :D And another thing I would like to see is that mobo makers ma...

Gigabyte seems to be using the VIA Vinyl VT2021 on some boards (like the GA-H77M-D3H).
Anyone knows if the VIA are better than the realtek? In terms of driver support, Gigabyte webpage got way newer drivers than the VIA webpage.
I saw some Intel and Asus boards with VIA chips as well.

Just a 2 cents on the DX9 and DX11 issue: most of the games on the market today still using the same engines released on the launch of PS3 and XB360. When the devs of these engines tried to put some new tech into them (dx10 and 11) things got funky. And why making your own engine when there are plen...

I sure hope that EA would not be against my cat watching me play Dragon Age 3 in the same room :-/ In other news, according to an official at EA, Xbox One is more powerful than my PC with i7-2600 and EVGA Titan SC: http://www.vg247.com/2013/05/23/xbox-one-ps4-a-generation-ahead-of-high-end-pcs-says...

CM Blizzard T2 Mini installed and cooling like I never seen before such low temps on my CPU. 27°C~28°C at idle and 33°C~35°C at 100% usage (handbrake video encoding). Before i was getting 46°C at idle and 58°C at 100% usage. The install is a little tricky on AMD side of things, especially if you do ...

If I convert brazilian real to US dollars (1 US dollar = 1.97 BR real) a T2 mini would be 30 US dollars here, the TX3 EVO would be 50 dollars. We got really screwed down here in terms of computer hardware (a GTX Titan would be for 2000 dollars...). And yeah, my current cooler need a clean up, but i ...

Thanks derFunk! Yeah it's this guy that came with the CPU: picture of stock cooler I guess no one on the forums have ever used this model on any build before... I'll prolly get this one and hopefully can tell how it fares under Rio's summer temps (no air conditioning involved!). Maybe I can manage t...

Thanks for the fast reply DPete! Yea, i can get a TX3 EVO (just one store sells it... =/) but it costs 40 bucks more (local currency) its kinda on the height limit of the case (136mm, case supports till 137mm) and dunno if there's enough room to it with all memory banks filled and the chipset heatsi...

Hello people! Recently I noticed that my Phenom II X3 710 (2.6GHz, 95W TDP) is kinda hot while at idle (around 48°C on really hot days) and it's been more than 3 years since I build this machine and never touched the CPU or cooler (stock cooler). I guess it's time for some thermal paste replacement ...

Thanks for your reply StuG. All drivers are installed and everything is working. The gadget is showing that on full charge, on power saving mode, it has 3 hours of charge available. Maybe i'm used to my former brazos laptop, showing more than 4 hours on power saving setting. Is it normal for the GT ...

Thanks 59abbot and just brew it! on the personal opinions. :D This weekend my video card (sapphire Radeon HD 5750) decided to stop working on my motherboard...

I didn't meant it as a parameter that influences cooling. I just meant it as a difference between the climate in Rio (which is located in a country in Central America) and my country (which is located in Central Europe) so i can actually tell him from experience that he won't fry his CPU, despite t...

Imo the 1055 is worth it. See the article bellow to find out why: http://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/zardon/overclocking-the-amd-1055t-3700mhz-out-of-the-box/ Maybe the 960T is easily overcloakable as the 1055T, as they are of the same family (thuban = zosma) and the 960T is a lil higher freq th...

Thanks for your reply kook :D I'm wondering if i can do an overclock on the X4 960T easily with the stock air cooler that comes with it. Would be kinda dangerous doing it in Rio, with summer temps reaching near 42°C.... Anyway, your opinion was really nice and almost made my mind (which was already ...

'Sup people! I'm thinking of upgrade my current CPU for one of these two, Phenom II X4 960T or Phenom X6 1055T.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if neither were defective that PSU is definitely more than enough for your video card. Thanks for replying Kestrel. Somehow, after plugging in and out the card a couple of times, seemed to resolve the issue, so far. Right now the computer is up and runni...
