The Resource Monitor was used keep an eye on the average CPU usage of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and here it is reporting an average of 45.5% across the six cores. This is going to cause some real issues for dual-core processors. Overclocking your Core i7 processor is not going to help deliver more performance in Deus Ex: Human Revolution with a single GeForce GTX 580 card. With the Core i7 clocked at 2....
The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept features an 800V Banshee propulsion system and a standard all-wheel-drive system, which combine to make the EV faster than a Hellcat in all key performance measures. The performance hood, the R-Wing, is a functional feature that enhances downforce at higher speeds and helps hide the headlights. Aerodynamic efficiencies continue with the 21-inch wheels featuring a turbine-like design and a red Fratzog logo on the center caps....
The Liva was 12% slower than the Celeron J1800 in the 7-zip benchmark, delivering just 2950 MIPS. The Mozilla Kraken performance saw the Liva’s chip trail the Celeron J1900 by a mere 5% margin, while it as much faster than the AMD Athlon 5150 and Sempron 3850. When it came to compression performance using WinRAR, the ECS rig did well to match the Celeron J1900, though it was more than twice as slow as the Pentium J2900....
The PCMark 7 video playback test uses high definition H.264 content (1080p, 30fps, 10Mbps) and the maximum result systems can achieve here is 24fps. As you can see according to this test the Liva can handle 1080p content, provided that it doesn’t go much above 10Mbps. That said, we believe the average Blu-ray bitrate is more like 24Mbps. Still, services such as Netflix stream their 1080p content at 6Mbps, so the Liva should easily handle that....
Update 1.08 is a freebie and is set to launch on December 7 (that’s tomorrow), just ahead of the 2022 Game Awards. Elden Ring arrived in late February and got off to a hot start, further solidifying FromSoftware as a premiere game studio. As of October, more than 17.5 million copies had been sold worldwide. The PlayStation 5 version of the game has a score of 96 over on Metacritic with the PC version ranked a few points lower at 94....
This week, Bandcamp announced it’s becoming part of Epic Games. The two companies are in different entertainment industries entirely, but they indicate a common desire to build a marketplace that puts creators first. Over the years, customers and artists have lauded Bandcamp for letting artists sell music without DRM (often bundled with physical copies on CD or vinyl). It is also well-known for passing more revenue to artists than Spotify and holding occasional “Bandcamp Friday” promotions where all sales money goes to the artists....
Priced well under the $110 GTX 1050, the GT 1030 costs only $70, which is even cheaper than the RX 550’s MSRP of $80, though getting one at that price is nearly impossible at the moment. The mark up on the RX 550 isn’t nearly as bad as the more higher-end models but right now you can expect to pay ~$90 and that makes it almost 30% more expensive than the GT 1030....
European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova told Bloomberg that failing to tackle online disinformation could “lead to the very quick abuse” of Twitter. “By not acting actively against the propaganda, which means to remove the pieces of propaganda, the disinformation, then you are actively supporting the war,” she said. “This would be a very tricky and maybe dangerous endeavor or adventure for Mr. Musk,” who “wants to be seen as somebody who is helping Ukraine....
Global semiconductor sales increased over 25 percent in 2021, crossing the $500 billion mark for the first time in history. This was fueled by strong demand for everything powered by chips, coupled with higher material costs that led to higher average selling prices for electronics. Memory was the best-performing category, with DRAM vendors in particular seeing the highest annual revenue growth. This happened despite the ongoing shortages and supply chain woes that have affected the entire consumer tech industry as well as adjacent sectors like the auto industry....
Today’s focus will be on explaining popular processor instruction set extensions MMX, SSE, and AVX and see whether these are cool features to have or just pointless marketing gimmicks. The oh-so simple early days Let’s start this explainer by heading back in time, to the mid 1980s. The CPU market was quite similar to how it is now, with Intel holding the largest share of sales, but facing stiff competition from AMD....
Social media consultant Matt Navarra was the first to report on the change, which has since been confirmed by multiple publications including TechCrunch. In an e-mail to the tech site confirming the pending changes, a Facebook spokesperson said they are sending notifications to users that have the fields populated. The Facebook rep further noted that there is nothing stopping a user from sharing information related to these fields elsewhere on the platform....
When Facebook launched in 2004, it was essentially a directory of profile pages. Users would navigate from page to page to check out what was new on the Walls of their friends. Everything changed in September 2006 with the introduction of the News Feed, which created a centralized stream of content on each user’s homepage populated with updates from friends. The change shook the community to the core, as suddenly, everything you did on the platform was front and center for all of your friends to see....
Starting with Bethesda’s classic, Fallout 3 is currently one of the games being given away free as part of the Epic Games Store’s weekly promotion. Released in 2008, it marks Fallout’s move from a 2D isometric, turn-based game into the 3D epic the franchise is known for today. This isn’t vanilla Fallout 3, either; it’s the game of the year edition, which means you also get all five of its DLCs: Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta....
In a speech called Countering Threats Posed by the Chinese Government Inside the US, Federal Bureau of Investigation director Christopher Wray said that the FBI is running over 2,000 investigations focused on the Chinese government trying to steal US information and technology. “The Chinese government steals staggering volumes of information and causes deep, job-destroying damage across a wide range of industries—so much so that, as you heard, we’re constantly opening new cases to counter their intelligence operations, about every 12 hours or so,” he said....
Grabbing the set won’t be as easy as shooting womp rats in Beggar’s Canyon. There are only 501 being made, an homage to the 501st Legion, the elite stormtrooper legion nicknamed Vader’s Fist. A few elements give this LG C2 its Star Wars credentials. There’s the excellent packaging, which is one box you definitely don’t want to throw away; the distinctive sound of Vader breathing when the set is powered on; the Galactic Empire insignia engraved on the back; and the Star Wars logo on the Magic Remote, which has a lightsaber-style design complete with red accent lighting....
The base model F-150 Lightning Pro SR, which starts at $39.974, will come with a final EPA-estimated range of 230 miles on a single charge. The same holds true for the XLT SR and the Lariat SR models, while the Platinum topped its target estimated range by 20 miles – from 280 miles to 300 miles. Similarly, the XLT ER and the Lariat ER (ER standing for extended range) will be good for a final EPA-estimated range of 320 miles....

The newest HOF-series card is the first RTX 4090 model to feature two 12VHPWR connectors, allowing it to draw up to 1,275W (600W + 600W + 75W from the PCIe slot). However, reports indicate the BIOS will have a power limit of “only” 1,000W, far higher than other RTX 4090s, which usually top out at about 450-600W. Galax’s flagship RTX 4090 features a massive 28 VRM phases for the GPU and another four for the GDDR6X memory....
The Crysis 3 and BioShock Infinite benchmarking might have been tightly contested, but Metro Redux’s results aren’t. Here the overclocked GTX 970 SLI setup was 15% faster than the overclocked R9 290s (prior to any overclocking the GTX 970s were still 14% faster than the R9 290s). It’s interesting to note that the GTX 970 SLI setup crushed the R9 290s by a 47% margin at 2560x1600, though this was reduced to just 14% at 3840x2160....
