    [PC/XB360/PS3] The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

    He stated he would be more accurate over range with twiddling his thumbs on some contraption. I said that mouse accuracy would prove he was clearly wrong. Oh well... D.

    System builders help required... SLi connector

    You're not m8 - I thought it was something obvious and straight-forward too. By default, I always enfore VSync on, but on the two games mentioned (Skyrim and Company of Heroes) - it made no difference and was unplayable as it was annoying. The YT clip below is EXACTLY what it was doing on...

    Excellent Dink - that's stopped me chopping that in half and breaking it! :) I might stick to the flexi cable Rhys, but clearly it's not perfect. I'd much prefer a 90mm rigid bracket - but they seems to be like hen's teeth in the UK... :( D.

    Chaps, I've had some tearing in onscreen graphics with the two GTX460's - but only in a few games. Of the ones I've played over the last fews days since getting the SLi bridge, just Skyrim and Company of Heroes of shown tearing. BF3, Shogun 2 and everything else have been fine. My gfx card...

    [PC/XB360/PS3] The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

    Anyone else notice the 2GB patch for it?! Nearly 5GB download for the main game, then 20mins later - another 2GB. Lol. :) D.

    Wow - pretty impressive player stats on Steam..... D.

    Ah, hi Stu. :) You wouldn't have seen me. I was in a works' Audi A6 barge having just nabbed a Starbucks! D.

    [PC/XB360/PS3] The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

    ....currently got 18mins, 31secs to wait until I try this. Steam's doing a healthy download rate. :) Paid full whack for it (£34.99) - but it's got 95/100 on metacritic which Steam links too. Only the original Bioshock, and of course, Half-Life 2 have scored higher on there at 96/100. D.

    I can vouch for that - I don't see any benefit on my 1TB O/S drive over a previous SATAII offering. Probably would see something in benchmarks, but in real-world terms, I don't notice it! D.

    Steam database hacked?!

    How does that work? I R confused? It's like a very dumbed down XBL. Far from perfect, but it does do the job for online support, downloads, connections, patches, etc. D.

    Yep - was told about this, this morning.... Cnuts! D.

    Weapon....

    That's the one. :) He's currently rolling on a 26" Iiyama with a GTX275 in there. I think there will be a bit of a difference.... :approve: D.

    Weapon....

    I'm really keen to see what 3DMark2011 kicks out in terms of score with this. I suspect the entry-level i7 CPU powering it, will actually be the limiting factor... D.

    Weapon....

    Should be installing this over the weekend at some point. Unfortunately, not into my PC however.... :( Being connected to three 27" Iiyama screens too, so hopefully it will look pretty impressive! Never really understood the need for semi-naked people/slightly homo-erotic pictures on gfx...

    [PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

    It does seem a little random at times. Four bursts fail to drop a guy, who quickly spins and drops me with one burst. Yet conversely, I've gone almost toe-to-toe with someone blasting away at me with an SMG and I've capped him with two rounds from the M9 pistol. :) As with most things online...

    The Watercooled PC Appreciation Thread...

    Yep - what we really need out now is an XBox 720 and PS4 to be released! Kick-start some wow-factor into the mix. :) In all seriousness though, I don't mind consoles. I've got a 360 myself and think that Forza 4 is great and I'm really liking the new Batman AC game on it. I just get my back up...

    SLI Question

    Well, that's a slight improvement - lol. On a single GTX460 at standard settings, the 3DMark2011 demo came up with a score of 3,355. Attach an SLi cable and re-run it - 6,592 on two GTX460s. nVidia (and presumably ATi?) have clearly made big inroads into multi-GPU functionality these days. I...

    The Watercooled PC Appreciation Thread...

    Ironically, the need to constantly replace hardware has slowed down greatly. As more and more games become multi-platform (frustratingly so for PC owners) - the games get held back from a technological perspective, in order to function on the consoles. Owning an uber-PC (which unfortunately, I...

    Lol - it is a bit frustrating how the AI totally ignores any of your team-mates and simply hones in on your position. They also operate on a watered-down wall-hack basis (exactly as the AI bots do on COD) - where they are shooting through walls at your position that they couldn't possibly know...

    Computer performance slow after formatting

    Have you reinstalled the AGP and IDE drivers? http://asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=GE%20PRO-M2&o=XP Windows will run without them, but quite often there's a significant performance benefit from installing core drivers. D.

    A total novice at online in this - just had two quick goes and have cracked Level 1 - lol. Slightly concerned that it seems extremely keen to ram achievements/ranks down your throat at a rate of knots (no doubt to keep the 12-year-old COD converts happy) - but I'll look past that hopefully...

    Isn't that what you do with PCs as well? I've just had two quick games of BF3 online and now I'm done. :) D.

    Just finished the SP campaign - quite enjoyable overall apart from the silly press E key/Space bar/LMB in 1 nanosecond, action interludes. I actually 'died' more often in those sections of the game than I did in getting shot at! Loved the attack of the villa level near the end of the game. Well...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

    Anyone know what the SP campaign is like? I don't give a flying rat's ass about the playground-mentality online s**t. The COD campaigns have always been good so far. Is this any different? Cheers, D.

    Not tried MP on this yet - by large helis, do you mean transports? I know on Battlefield 2142, piloting a transport used to get the pilot points - especially if he stayed aloft for lengthy periods of time. That said, they did have some defence - two gunners operated door-mounted turrets. D.

    Crysis 2 DX11 [PC]

    I agree. Charging in with a suit-boosted sprint, then quick changing to 'Maximum strength' and doing a Chuck Norris chin move on some unsuspecting Korean. Quality. D.
