    iPhone 6 Could Be the Biggest iPhone Yet

    Is this coming from the same "rumor mill" that said Apple was going to release a "low cost iPhone"?

    iPhone 6 Could Be the Biggest iPhone Yet

    I can see Apple releasing a larger iPhone alongside their 4" model, but a lot of iPhone users prefer the smaller footprint. I'm pretty happy with my Nexus 4, but I would much prefer something 4"-4.3".

    New Fluid Simulation Algorithm Allows Realistic Water Physics

    It's running on a GTX580, so I wouldn't expect to see anything like that in PC games for years, never mind on the new consoles LOL

    PS4 and Xbox 720 Graphics Specs Toe-to-Toe, Says Insider

    The PS3 and XBox 360 were at least $500 when they first came out, but now they cost $200-250. HD gaming for a couple of hundred bucks. Hence, the mediocre system specs on the PS4. People don't want to spend more than a few hundred dollars on a new console anymore.

    Weird Far Cry shading bug?

    BTW anyone here know how to do the "chain takedown"? I'm playing with the XBox controller and I've tried to do it like a dozen times and it doesn't work. The tutorial doesn't really seem to explain the whole thing...

    Weird Far Cry shading bug?

    I don't see anything unusual in those photos- that's how it looks on my system. I'm also playing with a 560 Ti and there is a slightly "pasty" quality to the cave/indoor visuals. Probably because the software is oriented towards bright outdoor lighting or something like that.

    Poor Far Cry 3 Performance?

    I lowered the global setting to "high" (some features were turned up higher than that under "optimal") and I got a modest bump in performance at 1080. It doesn't look as pretty, but whatever. Does anyone know if there's a built-in benchmark in the game? I couldn't find one. There are some...

    Poor Far Cry 3 Performance?

    BTW I'm getting ~30 FPS with AA turned off! Not impressed.

    Poor Far Cry 3 Performance?

    Just bought the game yesterday and I'm seriously not impressed with the graphics performance. Last August I built a new system- i5 3570K, Samsung SSD, 8 Gb RAM, 560 Ti yanked from my previous system. I know 1080 is pretty tough on a graphics card, but it's pretty pathetic that I spent over...

    CPU fan spins fast at startup and after awaking from sleep

    My CPU fan has been doing the same thing since I built my new system. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UDH3 and i5-3570K (BIOS ver. F17). It's not really that annoying since it only happens on startup/wake, but nonetheless I would prefer that it didn't do it at all.
