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

Thanks for your inputs guys. I am at work and I just wanted to acknowledge that I have read your recommendations. I will do a bit more research and try and see if I can find some recent benchmarks. It's just been a busy set of days, so I thought I should get some opinions from you guys. TheStu...

$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 work in the Learning and Development department of large, modern company. There's a joke that our department believes in extreme hair - the managers are bald and most of the male trainers/designers and IT guys have ponytails. One of our GMs in Operations (late 30s) also has a ponytail. I think...

In case you missed it: Heart performance for Led Zeppelin @ Kennedy Center

My Hobbit review (Spoilers)

I saw it in IMAX 3D at 24FPS (HFR not available anywhere in the country). I am very curious to see how a 48 fps movie would look on an IMAX screen because I experienced a fair amount of 'judder' during The Hobbit. (Not sure if it's the right word, but during quick pans and fast camera movements...

It's good in the sense that you aren't going to go in a direction you don't intend to. Which makes sense for a game where you are also doing a lot of aiming/shooting while driving. While doing missions, that's a good thing. But for simply driving around and raising hell, it just isn't that much...
