Do you really need to download drivers for old cards?

In my experience, depends. I learned after a lot of head scratching that anything newer than Catalyst 14.4 causes NFS: Rivals to get stuck on the loading screen, requiring a force quit. That's really the only bug I found but I imagine that can't be the only one. Radeon 5850 on 8.1 x64

Do you drink tea?

Twinings English Breakfast and Earl Grey are both fantastic and all I drink when I want a hot beverage. For iced tea, I am fine with most brands though I seem to get Lipton a lot.

2GB VRAM not enough for BF4?

If you are someone like me, still rocking a four-year-old card (5850 1GB), you would want to get the 4GB version. I don't really mess around a lot with high-res texture packs and whatnot with the games I play (I have tried a few with HL2 and GTA4 with less than ideal results) but I would not...

What gaming res. are you targeting? (and what gpu do you intend to use for that?)

1920x1080 @ 60 Hz (Dell U2311H) HD 5850 While I would like a higher resolution monitor, they are marked up too high where I live. It works well enough for me. I will probably use the monitor until it dies of old age. I would like to upgrade the GPU though. Been playing most recent games on...

$600-$900 Laptop - Light Gaming

It's a birthday present for my sister. She's always been the 'go to Best Buy and pick whatever has the nicest looking screen and is priced between $400 - $500' kind of laptop user. However, I do know she enjoys some casual games like The Sims 3 and might be interested in the new SimCity game...

Kentucky Route Zero

After thoroughly enjoying The Walking Dead Episodes 1-5, I was in the mood for some adventure gaming and found this (although Kentucky Route Zero is a VERY different style of adventure). I gave it about 30 minutes and got bored. It's more old-school than modern adventure games - main thing is...

Under the Dome - the TV Show

I read the first few chapters but I have no memory of it now. I remember a thread here that was packed with people hating on the book. I think it was ckgunslinger who convinced me to drop that book and read the Dark Tower series instead - which I did. Well, I started it. Read the first two, have...

according to Jackie Chan, the most corrupt country in the world is...

India. Just yesterday, auditors were at my house to reassess our property tax. They said with the new rates coming up, this year we will have to pay Rs. 90,000 (~$1650) per year in property taxes. They asked for a $250 bribe to fix our rate that so we would only have to pay around $250...

[TECH Report] As the second turns: the web digests our game testing methods

I don't think this has been posted here yet. PC Perspective has also announced they are revamping their GPU reviews, taking a cue from TechReport. Frame Rating: A New Graphics Performance Metric Instead of using FRAPS, they are recording the actual output from the DVI-port and writing as much...
