• Supercomputing in consumer form: Nvidia's new GTX Titan graphics card

• Andee 20/02/2013

  @ATARI Yep 2 680s here. No way I could justify a Titan from the previews, it looks like being mid way between a 680 and a 690/680sli, while being priced like the latter.
  
  So for 690/680sli owners, it looks like the only decent upgrade would be a Titan sli setup, which would be a fair amount of cash, and still mean the same potential problems that sli supposedly brings like driver support and such. Reply 0

• Andee 20/02/2013

  @ATARI 6GB is indeed a waste, nothing will benefit from it at he moment. I guess the 6 GB is about attempting to justify sale price vs 6GB 7970s rather than being required for performance.
  
  Review embargo ends on Thursday, will be interesting to see benchmarks.
  
  Possibly difficult choice for existing 690 or 680 sli ( as I have atm) owners, as a single card Titan appears to be a downgrade, but 2 Titans would be a fair amount of cash. Reply 0

• Andee 20/02/2013

  @ATARI 2 7950s will likely match the fps averages of Titan but as you mention, the frame time consistency makes it a lesser experience.
  
  Leaked benchmarks suggest a 690 still has a decent lead over Titan anyway, so at the same price it's about the fps vs sli support and potential vram limitations.
  
  And yes Titan supports full voltage based overclocking, which was otherwise disabled on the kepler range, apart from a batch of msi gtx680 lightning iirc. Reply 0

• Driver: San Francisco

  The coma thing sounds stupid. Nothing is more sure to ruin any possibility of immersion than the game mechanics explicitly acting to remove you from the 'realism' of the environment.
  
  And for all the bugs, at least in Driv3r and Parallel Lines did feel reasonably immersive in terms of the driving aspect. Reply -5

• Black Ops is best selling game ever in US

• Andee 11/03/2011

  I really don't understand why this sells so well. It does nothing better any other fps, and lacks any of the innovation seen in other titles. It doesnt even seem to be advertised much (that i've noticed anyway), so what makes all these folk go out and buy CoD? Reply +1

• Eurogamer Readers vs. MotorStorm Apocalypse

• Andee 28/02/2011

  Was good to meet some EG people in real life, though as I'm crap with names I'm already struggling a bit to recall who was who. Congrats again to the winners, and cheers to EG/Tom & Tom for organising a great event.
  
  Brighton seemed a nice place too, but was truly baffled by the difficulty in finding a pub to watch football. Reply 0

• No mod tools for Battlefield 3 at launch

• Andee 08/02/2011

  No mod tools would be going back on what they had previously suggested for BF3. I do hope it's just an initial public stance so as to be able to sell dlc in the shorter term after launch though.
  
  I be wanting to see a POE3! Reply +1

• Crytek hopes Haze is remembered fondly

• Andee 04/11/2010

  I genuinely had more fun with Haze than I did with Halo, Gears, Killzone 2 or Modern Warfare.
  
  Unpolished mediocrity>uber polished mediocrity. For me anyway.
  
  Haze at least had some 'character', which modern shooters lack. Reply 0

• GAME sorry for tatty 'new' stock

• Andee 14/04/2010

  They have been doing this for a very long time.
  
  I bought GC Animal Crossing from them when they were the last place claiming to have new stock, and it turned up unsealed and missing the memory card that should have been included. Reply 0

  Where exactly are they selling all these PS2s? I've been looking to buy one recently and it seems nowhere stocks them anymore. Reply 0

  EG up early. Rather disappointed if this isn't out 'till the end of the year though.
  
  And dh, the cost looks like it should easily be covered going by prologue sales. Reply 0

  I think Jambo is referring to the Carew image, which for Scots is a somewhat unpleasant reminder of last night. Martin Korda a Norwegian then? Reply 0

• Andee 13/08/2009

  I fear the set piece creator could end up being a bad idea. How long before you notice certain setups that seem to exploit the AI or whatever, thus cheapening any victories you gain. Hopefully i'll be proved wrong though. Reply 0
