You can love it or hate it, but NfS Underground 2 was and is a milestone of the Need for Speed series. And as original CD version current unfortunately no longer playable. But there is a remedy, because various packs have solved this problem elegantly. Today’s weekend article is meant to be a little encouragement for you to maybe dig out the [...]
Who doesn’t know the ugly moment when you think you’ve almost finished the Windows setup and then suddenly the new machine gets stuck? You have partitioned the SSD accordingly, defined the partition for the installation, put everything on it, the setup starts the services, thinks to have prepared everything and then after the next, due [...]
Well, on the one hand it is really funny and on the other hand it takes some getting used to in the beginning. But once you get the hang of it, you quickly become a Rembrandt with just a few, even clumsy, brushstrokes. The final step to perfection is taken by the AI, which turns rather meaningless line drawings into quite naturalistic images in [...]
You know I’m not a fan of limitless energy waste that the mining boom keeps pushing to new heights. It’s no secret that a new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has its difficulties with Etherum and that it’s hardly worthwhile with this card here in Germany due to the lack of efficiency. That was to be expected. But what about all the other [...]
Since the author Yuri Bubliy (1usmus) has already set his software tool CTR EOL after the release of the successor “Project Hydra” and also does not offer any further suport, we have also removed the content from the website and link instead to the new, more comprehensive program, which offers full replacement and is also further [...]
Nothing against the protection against cheaters, that this is necessary and right, you do not have to discuss. It’s just that in places the arrogance and disregard for legitimate objections and requests is almost unbearable. Games worth over 100 euros are worthless within a fraction of a second, just because someone has hung colorful fans [...]
The polish developer studio “People Can Fly” has released the PvE Looter-Shooter “Outriders” and combines quite clever single player and co-op content for up to three players with the possibility to switch back and forth in the game quite seamlessly. There are four quite different classes and of course lots of things to [...]
Update from 09.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC5 Lower reference frequency values for Zen3 (extra safety when pressing the TUNE button) The number of attempts to contact the SMU is increased from 5 to 10 Testing Mode – only AVX Light (fixed a bug where it was possible to unlock this switcher) Update from 04.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC4 As we [...]
New year, new luck! Due to various inquiries and great interest in the topic, I have put together a detailed UV guide for you here, since I had a small craft project pending anyway. The connection with the theory was a logical follow. In addition, as often requested, I explain the individual functions in the MPT (MorePowerTool) again explicitly [...]
The time has finally come, the new version of Clock Tuners for Ryzen CTR is in the starting blocks! The release will also take place on our side as the official German-speaking host already in a few weeks – after some further and necessary tests with end users – but also the current version already gives an idea of what is already [...]
In fact, it’s both! After a few hours of playing time, the somewhat tough prologue including intermezzo and a few crashes (including patches), I am now a few nerves poorer and many experiences (as well as a game that is probably addictive) richer. If I had simply resisted the temptation to start right on the first day, I would probably have [...]
Need For Speed (NFS) looks back on 25 years of life and suffering, which couldn’t have been more varied. And since it is very trendy to simply revive old games at a reasonable price instead of creating something new, EA has also reached into the moth box a little bit. But instead of rehashing real classics like NFS Hot Pursuit 2, NFS [...]
Mafia was my favorite for long evenings (and sometimes nights) for 18 years. So a new edition should be quite difficult in direct comparison. But for Mafia Definitive Edition, the actual gameplay would (thank God) not change much. Much of what is new can be deselected or adapted to the old feeling to some extent. The look, on the other hand, has [...]
After several patches Horizon Zero Dawn has hardly run stable, much smoother and finally gives you a lot of fun while playing, when the next autumnal total breakdown comes, which surely can’t even be repaired. And if you thought that after all the Crysis sequels, things couldn’t get any worse, you are completely wrong. Because one of [...]
Full-price games, which were also given a lot of advance praise, should actually run fairly stable at the start. Whether it’s a PS4 console port, as in the case of Horizon Zero Dawn, or something newly developed. But there are things like quality management and simple tests that ensure at least a certain minimum of perceived running [...]
One for all and all on one? it’s perfectly possible if you use the right hardware. With RainPOW! 2.0 the German startup CrankzWare has combined pretty much everything that can be read and controlled into one unit, as long as it has RGB and connectors. The advantage of the RainPOW! 2.0, which is completely manufactured in Germany, is however [...]
Since the launch, I have used the game for various benchmarks and have also played quite a bit myself, also in order to reach a useful benchmark scene. But the dear time often never lets you play to the end and so Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order has remained like many others in the benchmark suite, but never gets to your own computer. After many [...]
Microsoft has warned that attackers are already actively exploiting an unpatched Windows Zero Day vulnerability on fully updated devices. The vulnerability affects devices running Windows 7, 8.1, and Windows 10 equally. "Microsoft has become aware of limited targeted attacks on Windows 7 that could exploit unpatched vulnerabilities in the [...]
Nvidia today introduces DLSS 2.0, which will bring many interesting changes, significant quality and performance improvements. Even if we only had the verbal information and the corresponding slides available to us for today, the path that Nvidia has taken can be traced quite well. Tests must prove to what extent these very serious changes then [...]
Actually, Nvidia has a good laugh, because what Microsoft releases today as DXR 1.1 (DirectX Ray Tracing) makes at least this part the quasi-standard for PCs and consoles to the same extent. None of this is surprisingly new now, given that at the end of October last year you had a post called "Dev Preview of New DirectX 12 Features" on [...]
