They're going to have a die shrink and an architecture change, the CEO was saying it can have 10x the performance of Maxwell, it should be pretty huge. Now, because I'm cynical, my guess is it CAN be that fast, but they'll just make sure it's just 15% faster than whatever AMD's offerings are, and just trickle down upgrades over several years.Well, looking at the specs for the Pascal cards, it appears the system should be capable of directly accessing the GPU memory for use as fast system RAM... Whether that will be something anyone actually implements... I hope they do. (80BG/s communication rate beats most standard system RAM)I'm not quite as cynical... I'm guessing 20%.

Radar? dont know what LIDAR is

Sandwiches: horseradish or mustard?No. I refuse to eat sandwiches that have either.
One major common allergy, (one very common substance that throws you into anaphylactic shock) or a ton of minor common allergies? (almost everything you come into contact with throughout the day causes a strong headache, shortness of breath, and nausea)

That depends on the definition of 'strange' that you use... Probably Pink Floyd's The Wall. (if you listen to it carefully, it's incredibly strange)
You opinion on the movie 'Tucker and Dale vs. Evil'? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465522/

8/10
I was aiming at the 5, but my finger hit the 8... I'm too lazy to use the backspace, but not lazy enough to not type this long sentence.

Trying to decide if I should try torrenting Rainbow Six Siege... Maybe later.

I trust your judgement implicitly, which I'm basing solely on your splendid choice of avatar.
Best scene in Star Trek, by a small margin. I have many more, but this is the best.

You could probably hire someone online to deal with it for you, but it's hard to find them, and some law enforcement agencies consider it 'looking for a hitman' despite it not having any form of physical harm intended to the subject. (and usually no lasting emotional harm either)

I don't like the term NSFW, I prefer 18+ since that makes the line between allowed and disallowed content much less blurry. Then again, we don't exactly have clear guidelines on what can and can't be posted, all I'm 100% sure of is you can't post 18+ content or dedicate a topic to boobs.
The problem is that the legal age for consumption of pornographic imagery varies between no regulation at all, 14 years old, 16 years old, 18 years old, 21 years old, and an outright ban on all pornographic imagery for all ages. NSFW is an abbreviation for 'Not Safe For Work', and accurate for use in this situation, mainly because I can find records of no company (globally) that doesn't forbid pornographic viewing on company computers. (excluding porn manufacturers)

Is this hitherto undocumented phobia I'm picking up on? :3
You obviously haven't dealt with a professional style sound system, or you wouldn't be asking this.

The Simpsons has a plethora of random scenes, all of excellent quality... Maybe we should all just start quoting them.

6. Be a little less perfectionistic (did I spell that correctly?).
The period should come before the parenthesis, at the end of the word "perfectionistic". Also, parenthetical expressions come after the comma and space when interjecting in that type of location. (the parenthetical expression is not a part of the sentence, so it should not affect the standard layout of the punctuation)[/grammarnazi]

My question is: Why are you spreading his video around, getting him more views, and then wondering why he's getting support?

Soma
in Soundtracks
I'm not sure why people didn't find SOMA particularly scary, because I found very atmospheric and tense.The likely reason is that most people would pick up a weapon or tool and do anything but run around in circles dodging an enemy... Once realism is broken, fear dissipates. This is the main reason I don't like the vast majority of these types of games, they are completely unrealistic to me, and result in a total lack of immersion, thereby losing the scare factor, which is losing the reason the game exists. This is also a major reason why most horror movies suck at scaring people. (though I have to say that Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is a good movie, simply because it's remarkably more realistic than you would expect from a B movie spoof)

I don't want to argue with Doctor Evil. I think it might end badly for me.
It would end very badly for you.

There is no such thing! (you might want to fix the typo, and keep an eye out for it in the future, a lot of sites get very hostile over things like this)

Knowing your abilities/powers, or through sheer dumb luck, you can push through the impossible sims and win. No big deal, right? Now, keeping pushing through and winning and watch the game lose its mind!
Mobs start to freeze so they're easier to kill, chests release fountains of gear, the dialogue appears scrambled, etc. I was able to push the sim until the game crashed!
Supposedly, the devs know about this but nothing has been done. I doubt that they do, or this would have been patched out long ago.
For now, I'm happily collecting the best gear in the game until it crashes ;D
They're happy to let people become Deadpool.
Post your setup!

Not bad... I hope you don't mind, but I like to suggest upgrade paths for systems posted here.
First thing you should look into is getting an SSD. Doesn't have to be huge, but it'll be a significant system performance boost. They are as low as $130 for a quality 480GB SSD from Newegg. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100011693%204814%20600136715%20600076740%20600038499%20600038502%20600038492%20600038491)
If you want to go really high-end there are 960GB drives with good performance for as low as $250.
Second would be the PSU, simply because most better GPS will require more power, and that would be the biggest bottleneck for gaming in your system. Don't go for under 600w for a new one though, or 800w if you're thinking of doing multi-GPU. Also, higher rating is ALWAYS better, as it reduces strain on the PSU, and reduces power fluctuations that are sent to the motherboard and peripherals. (the fluctuations can get bad enough over time that it can literally fry the hardware in your system, usually starting with the RAM, and northbridge/southbridge of the motherboard)
I personally recommend the Rosewill brand. They are inexpensive, but good quality. A 600w from them with 80+ Gold rating is only $75. If you don't care about efficiency, you can drop down to 80+ Bronze rating for a $50 Raidmax PSU @735w. (Raidmax is another good brand with generally low prices, but not quite as good in quality as Rosewill in my experience)
Third is, of course, the GPU. Since you aren't likely to go spend $300-$500 any time soon on the previous upgrades, I recommend waiting for the Nvidia Pascal GPUs that will be coming out later this year. I don't recommend any AMD cards currently out (or in the planning stages) as an upgrade over what you already have, mainly because they aren't better on the price/performance ratio than competing Nvidia GPUs. Also, AMD can't make a professional driver to save their lives. (they have been known in the past to flat out ignore entire portions of standard OpenGL and DirectX code calls when deploying drivers, and I have personally been burned by them MANY times by AMD on various levels of GPUs, but never on the numerous Nvidia GPUs I've used and abused, even if they were cheap or old)
After those three upgrades, you'd really need to get a new motherboard/CPU/RAM setup for increased performance, so I won't get any further into the upgrades unless you'd like a full new system design made for you.
