    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Discussion Thread

    Witcher 2 is an excellent game. It's one of those games that actually has a good story. It's not about saving the world, it's about doing what's best for you and your friends. Your actions do affect the world, but there are things you have no control over and most of the time you have no idea...

    Graphic Cards Is my friends GPU all right?

    I played Witcher 2 on a 9800GT, on low-medium settings with AA turned on @ 1440 X 900 at about 25-30 FPS. It does go to around 20 FPS at a few regions, but I manage. I wouldn't call that extinct. Civilization V runs pretty well on medium to high. Mass Effect 3 ran on high. I'm gonna stick with...

    DOTA 2 - Discussion Thread

    The most noob friendly heroes are Leoric, Dragon Knight, Lich. Drow's silence is very important and she is a squishy hero, so not so noob friendly.

    Graphic Cards Do AMD's Radeon HD 7000s Trade Image Quality For Performance?

    Seriously I have not once while playing Skyrim, or Battlefield or anything else, stopped and stared at the bark of a tree to see if the textures are blurred. Nobody notices things like these. If image quality suffered considerably, people would notice. About the nvidia card burning, it was a...

    EA forced Crytek to release the game much earlier. That's what's been happening with every dev that EA buys.

    Games that make you a GAMER

    ^ RTS you mean? [AOE] About Half Life, yeah the graphics are a bit dated, the introduction too long, but once you dive into it, you'll experience amazing encounters that you'll remember your entire gaming life.

    Games that make you a GAMER

    The original Doom, followed by Half Life introduced me to gaming. After crossing half life on hard, most games seemed like a walk in the park. I play Dota competitively.

    PC Peripherals SOS - PC not starting up

    It looks like the SMPS. It's almost never the CPU. I would suggest you remove everything and try booting up using only the Mobo, CPU,RAM and PSU. If it doesn't boot up replace the PSU, a local 450W wala will do. If it still doesn't boot replace the RAM, then the Mobo...

    PC Peripherals Which mouse to buy?

    Genius is a pretty good brand. They make really good quality keyboards. Also the build quality of DA is not very good. MX518 on the other hand is built like a tank. I'm pretty sure the G400 is solid too. As far as Logitech as a brand goes, there is nothing more reliable. Their Rs 400/-Optical...

    Gaming mouse within 2k

    That depends on you dude. I feel I would prefer the control edition because I usually play with a very high sensitivity and control edition would allow me to have the precision I need. But don't take my word on this, google and get what's best for you.

    PC Peripherals CM690 II Advanced vs Air Cooler/Desert Cooler

    I think the weird topic title got your attention. Now that I have it, let me make things a little more clearer. I live in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. I currently have a Q6600 with a 9800GT housed inside a CM 430. The Q6600 runs at stock and is cooled by a Hyper TX3. The CM430 has a 12 cm fan on...
