Is anyone pairing an older CPU to their newly purchased 1070 or 1080 GTX than in my case? (Q9550 from 2010) My system was built in 2007 and the motherboard is just as old. I started out with the Nvidia 8800 for 4 years before jumping over to the 5850 for 3 years. I used the R9 280 for 2 years...

I've owned my ps3 since about 2006 and have mostly used it as a blu-ray player (other than about 30 hours for Demon's Souls). Currently it acts as a Netflix and Amazon streamer for my kids' cartoons. A few months ago I bought Bloodborne and purchased a subscription of ps plus with it. I was...

and rolled through the bars on the stairs and onto the hardwood floor on the first floor. Spiderweb cracks on my screen are very tiny, but screen doesn't turn on. I guess I could 1) pay $80 to fix it 2) pay $120-$140 for a used replacement 3) get a new phone because my two years are up. I'm...

I've had this phone for just about 2 years now. Half a year ago it started acting up and at some point wouldn't let me start up the phone. After removing the battery a few times and clicking the power button many times over, it sort of fixed itself. It happened again today. When I was trying...

My wife received a Y580 Lenova with a 660m a year and a half ago. I played around with it a bit and ran 3dmark on it and was not impressed with the score. Then I tried playing a few older games on it and it ran like crap. Never cared to game on it so I ended up placing the laptop downstairs for...

I was going to upgrade my rig this summer, but then I ended up getting a hernia and completely forgot about it. With Dragon Age: Inquisition coming out soon, I wanted to revisit the idea of building a computer again. But it just feels so time-consuming. Someone suggested on a gaming thread...

I saw on Xbox live today that walking dead season 2 is being discounted to $7.50 and it made me wonder if Steam was having a sale of its own. Seems like no information about the sale has been made public yet. Anyone have the inside scoop? Seems like today would have been a good day to start...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc General purpose PC: browsing, gaming, and the occasional photo editing software. Photo editing is really the most intensive thing I do with my computer and it makes my current rig feel very sluggish. 2) What's your...

Would it be against forum rules to have a thread dedicated to Dark Souls 2 discussion that talks about the gameplay openly?

Is this possible on any games? My friends were asking me if this was possible on Call of Duty Ghost and a quick google didn't give what I wanted. He's cheap and wants to play with his friends that have a ps4 using his ps3. Thanks in advance!

I may pick it up for nostalgic reasons if it's on sale for $5 later, but $12 is a bit steep for a 16 year old classic.

My toddler got his hands on our ipad 2 and happened to swing it in a way that smashed the volume button partially into the casing. Not being able to use the volume meter is fine for keeping him entertained for ten minutes when we need, but I'd like to see what my options are for fixing this. Has...

After speaking with a representative two weeks ago and putting in an order for this phone, I just found out my order is cancelled. They didnt' even send me an email. I had to call them and when prompted to enter my phone number, they told me that my order has been cancelled and directed me to a...

Did a search here on the topic and found a suggestion for a free program called Handbrake. Unfortunately, the file converted had choppy video and audio. Tried another program called Daniusoft DVD to Ipad Converter. Works nicely on trial except for the dang watermark in the middle of the...

I'm sure this has been said before somewhere on this forum, but it seems like the iphone seems to take much better pictures of objects in motion than the evo 3d does, or any other android phone I've experienced for that matter. When I try to take a picture of my infant, even a slight twitch of...

So I've heard of this program before, but never really bothered to try it because my phone usually makes it until bedtime each day (with battery in the red). But my usage is pretty light on most days on my Evo 3D as I have my phone on silent in my desk most of the day from 8-4pm, checking the...

Tried posting this in the main BF3 thread, but the question got lost amongst heated gameplay discussion: "I normally get between 40-50 fps in Caspian Border. But every once in a while, my fps is a constant 20-35. When I restart the computer, this usually fixes things. Yesterday, when i...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? BF3, Skyrim, gaming mostly. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? I can always spend more, but I suppose I'll set a tax and shipping included limit at $1600 (just upped my budget as I just realized it's a bit low if I want 2 x 6950's.)...

Hi everyone. When I built this system (in sig) four years ago, the Corsair 520HX was highly recommended. It was actually overkill for my Conroe system with a 8800 gts 320mb. But now that I've upgraded to a 5850 and q9550, I'm concerned just how much headroom I have for a video card upgrade...

Old World Blues just came out today. Hard to pony up $9.99 for DLC when you just picked up the other two for $3 a piece at the Steam Summer Sale. I got close to 10 hours of playtime for both combined. Anyone play it through yet?

The bluetooth connection from my 06' M5 to my EVO 4G was flawless. All contacts imported into the computer system perfectly. Now that I've upgraded to the EVO 3D, the M5's computer seems to be stuck in a perpetual search loop for contacts. I can still dial with my phone and use the car's...

Did they just add this in just for the steam treasure hunt? I don't remember this achievement from before. There's no description for it either. On youtube, someone has uploaded a description for how you can download a saved game file that gives you this achievement automatically. I'd rather...

Never even heard of this game until it appeared on the daily deal today of the summer sale. $5.09 for a game that's rated in the 80's on Metacritic (albeit by mostly lesser known publications to me) didn't seem like too bad of a deal. I stopped the game after about 20 minutes and four levels...

For all you other owners with this phone, do you have a "The Green Hornet 3D" app icon? When I click it, it takes me to a download service called Watch. But there is no option for me to watch the movie, even after I've run the patch. This link here...

whoops, repost.

I'm rocking a Corsair 520HX along with everything else in my system specs. I don't play any games that really push the card, so I don't really need to upgrade. But seeing as we are almost two generations away from the 5850, I should probably be in the know as to what my upgrade options are...

I bought a pair of batteries rated at 2000 mAH with a charger last week. The one that came with my phone is 1500mAH. Anyone know if there are any safety issues with using a third party battery from China? I have one charged up, but doing a little bit of research first before I try it out.

Since this whole debacle came to light two weeks ago, a lot of ps3 owners have been scurrying to either change passwords on their accounts, cancel their credit cards, and/or establish a credit check security measure. I'm wondering how many of you have been affected by this.

Posted this first in the Apple subforum without success, so here it is again: Just purchased an ipad2, my first Apple product since the original ipad nano. I have an app called tube mate on my Android device that will allow me to quickly rip youtube videos. Is there a similar one in...

Just purchased an ipad2, my first Apple product since the original ipad nano. I have an app called tube mate on my Android device that will allow me to quickly rip youtube videos. Is there a similar one in Apple's app store?

whoops, wrong forum!

Anyone else out here like me and have stopped buying games because of a gigantic Steam backlog? The last game I finished was King's Bounty (original and Armored Princess). Before that it was a number of other Steam games that were heavily discounted during the holidays. When I'm done with...

Anyone play these stand alone adventures? I just played through the game and tried this today. The problem is that I don't hear any character voices. I have the 1.4 EE English language pack downloaded and installed, but it doesn't make a difference. Any advice?

Did anyone pick this game up for $1.70 during the Steam sale? I'm having such a blast with this game (11 hours this week) that I want to see if others are playing it too. I would have gladly paid the full $5 for it if someone recommended it to me before the sale. After the time I've spent...

I just hooked up my ps3 to a different tv to try to play a blu-ray. Even though my ps3 resolution is set at 1080p, as soon as the blu-ray video loads (quantum solace) it goes into standard definition mode. Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks in advance. EDIT: So lame, I had to change my...

Played it 30 hours a year ago and loved it. Loaded it up again this week and the Michael Jackson looking dancing zombie is now a generic 70's afro zombie? Poop.

Interesting read on console/pc cross-platform play: http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/07/21/did-microsoft-kill-xbox-livewindows-live-cross-platform-play-because-console-gamers-were-too-bad/ Here's a snippet: "So partially for this reason—console gamers didn’t stand a chance against PC...

Hey guys. My buddy just bought a 30" monitor that he has connected to his 8800gts 320mb. He says that he is unable to choose a resolution above 1280x800. What could his problem be? Is there chance that he is using a DVI cable that is only single link rather than dual link?

Which do you play more of? Seems to be a lot of bashing both ways so I'm curious as to the percentages of [H] BC2 players that play each.
