    COD: Ghosts

    Would be a good idea m8. But I guess the devs are scratching their heads now and really struggling for ideas. I love the COD campaigns and detest MP. Yet most people seem to be the opposite. I love the vehicle side of the BF series and the expansive maps. But most COD maps feel like they are in...

    Best nVidia GFX PCI-E x16 card £400 can buy at the moment?

    Really, just really DO NOT tempt me! :P D.

    Battlefield 4

    Lol - the GOL was the one of choice! I was pretty hopeless at all the sniping in the BF games - BF2 in particular. But I've been trying with that standard MK11 MOD0 semi-sniper rifle and I'm finding it pretty damn good. It doesn't have the power (I'm assuming) that the heavier calibre snipers...

    Do you get the Oulton Park circuit with the subscription? Or is it a separate payment? Looks great from the static shots... D.

    Battlefield 4

    Sorted my PC crashes out by simply going back to the previous nVidia WHQL driver from early October, iirc? Restarted the PC and tried it. It's not crashed once since. I'm amazed it was something so simple - I haven't had to rollback a graphics driver in goddamn years! ;) D.

    Is my Clio 'High Mileage'? Servicing Tips?

    The cambelt would be a definite - especially given the fact that they are MUCH easier to replace on a 1.2 than an RS Clio. Also, like you say, you have no real history on the car. Spark plugs would be another definite for me (as sbridgey says) and also get that gearbox oil changed. As for the...

    Battlefield 4

    That - and a few others m8! It's crashed each of the 5 times that I've launched - sometimes immediately, other times about 10mins in. Only once has the DX crash error been the same. The remaining were all other DX issues! D.

    Forza Motorsport 5

    I agree. It's a small omission (at the minute) - but by christ, does that Atom need shading under the wheels. From the cockpit view - it just looks silly. And then come the exhaust flames...... :dead: D.

    Battlefield 4

    Got a little further in the campaign running it in 32-bit (for which I have to applaud DICE (bizarrely) - well done for a mainstream dev to be pushing 64-bit versions!) - but it still bombs out with DX11 problems. The DX error actually relates to a belief that the PC thinks the graphics card...

    Battlefield 4

    Crashed twice in the campaign with different DirectX errors. Can't be arsed trying to rectify the issue - probably just wait for a few weeks until they get their act together. I honestly cannot remember a game crashing since they released the appropriately named 'Rage' a few years ago - where...

    HELP 182 doesn't start after belts fitted

    Stop! As in don't do anything else! How close are you to one of the specialists on here? Get it to them ASAP - even paying for a tow, imo... D.

    Battlefield 4

    +1 I've likened it to the Peter Crouch robot movement when trying to aim with a pad in an FPS. It's just so alien and inaccurate. You have to ask yourself why the vast majority of console FPSs have the option of aim assist/auto aim? They don't add that 'feature' for fun. Its simply due to the...

    Graphics card for rendering / design work.

    That makes sense m8. I only know of a very small group of people who use high-end cards and all have been nVidia users. I guess you end up using whatever the industry has in common place - especially if you're sending files to CAD/rendering staff in other businesses? D.

    Graphics card for rendering / design work.

    Interesting. Apart from Josh's mention of them, no one else has commented on the ATi FIRE cards. Are they that out-gunned by the Quadros in terms of performance? Or is it just that the nVidia offerings are more common-place in industry now? D.

    Battlefield 4

    Lol - I don't even get past the POST screen on my i7 965 running at 4Ghz on the air setup. Dropped it to 3.6Ghz and it's happy with that all day long.... D.

    Battlefield 4

    A shame that. The 64-player maps on BF2142 were so big, that essentially there were several mini-battles going on all over the map. On smaller maps like you say - 64 players is just a messy, chaotic, experience. D.

    Hopefully it won't be a wait until the v1.6 patch like the original Battlefield 1942 was! ;) D.

    Battlefield 4

    This is the problem with all games like this and unfortunately, I can't see it ever changing. :( There's so much going on both in the game and at the server level - that invariably it fails and crashes in the early days. Some players put up with it, I for one don't. That means by the time its...

    Battlefield 4

    Been having a quick flick through the Prima e-guide that I got for pre-ordering. Looks good, but they are clearly holding back to provide more content in the DLC stakes. D.

    Same £££ amount chucked into it and you'd have a decent Ph.1, imo... D.

    N200 CUP - blue 200 near Filton airport, Bristol

    No m8 - getting dropped off at Bristol Parkway on the return journey home. I was on the opposite side in my m8's Merc C200 estate - certainly nothing that would have stood out anyway! :) D.

    Audi TT 2.7T RS, The Unkown Prototype.

    Although my perfect pay-per-view TV fantasy would involve a TT, driven by James Corden and Ricky Gervais as a passenger - hurtling 100mph into a burning inferno wall of spikes.... that was an interesting article to read. I 'sense' that the Audi powers-at-be already had the first fleeting ideas...

    Help me find a suitable desktop PC for a technophobe!

    MSI are actually a motherboard manufacturer (the main part that most components plug into) - along with other like Asus, Gigabyte, etc. i3 processors are perfectly capable for entry level needs - in fact that maybe a good choice. But i5's are the mainstream CPU of choice and you might end up not...

    Net gear router

    +1 Needs zero config - you'll be up and running in 30secs. Plus powerline adapters have come down massively in price this year. They used to be quite expensive for 200mbps speeds and above - but not anymore. :) D.
