    [SOLVED] Gaming On a Mac Using Microsoft

    Depends on the model of Mac you have. If it's a recent (last year or so) iMac model most games will run decently at mid-high settings. If it's a MacBook Pro 15" or greater (comes with dedicated graphics) you should be alright too. I currently play with a MacBook Pro and I get good framerates in...

    What exactly does physX do?

    PhysX is is a tool utilised by nVidia cards that allows real time physics calculations to be made on the GPU itself. This allows more realistic physics to be simulated in games, instead of seeing "scripted" physics that developers had to program and you'd see the same animation every time you...

    [SOLVED] Syncing mac and iphone calendars

    If you want to maintain over the air live updating of calendars, your solutions are to either create a separate iCloud account (Apple ID) to use for your calendars, or find a calendar app that has both a mobile and desktop version and is capable of using iCloud to sync data. If you're the only...

    Crysis 3 compatibility with Mac

    If your MacBook is a 13" model, chances are it won't be able to play many demanding games, the reason being like many others have mentioned that integrated graphics aren't powerful enough to do more than play HD video and 2D games, and play 3D games at low settings or resolutions. So the answer...

    White or red LED strip for my build?

    If it was my build I'd choose red. With the red accents you have on some of your components and the rest of your interior being black, having red light shine on them will really make them stand out versus white light. Also if you plan on gaming in a darkened room (at night), red light is a more...

    Does READ speed deteriorate when SSD gets full?

    Haha, you seem to know more than me. :) But it appears to me that you've answered your own question. If the read endurance for an SSD is unlimited, then I would have thought there shouldn't be any reason why the speed at which the data is copied would be the same. Again I'm not an expert, but if...

    Does READ speed deteriorate when SSD gets full?

    The amount of data stored on the drive shouldn't affect performance. The principal of an SSD is that there are no moving parts so all the data on the drive can be accessed in the same time, regardless of its location on the drive, unlike an HDD. This would mean read speed isn't affected. By the...

    Best Gaming Headset?

    Depends on the budget you have really. And obviously "the best" is very subjective when it comes to audio, since people like different things. However if you're willing to spend around £100 then I've heard great things about the Logitech G35. It has a built in 7.1 channel surround driver and is...

    Should I sell my MacBook Pro for a gaming PC?

    Hi everybody, this is my first post so I apologise if I've done anything wrong. Anyway, I have a bit of an unusual situation that I'd like some opinions on. Let me explain. I've only recently realised how much better PC gaming is compared to consoles - the upgradeability, the low price games...
