You can't run PhysX on AMD cards. When you enable it in games like Borderlands 2 while using an AMD GPU, you're using your CPU.

You can use any two jobs' active skills on each of your party members. Your primary job changes your base stats, give you different weapon/armor specializations, and give you a benefit unique to that job. Your secondary job simply adds more active skills. Jobs also provide passive skills at certain levels, which you…

I employ 2 wireless keyboards and mice in my travels - "TRAVELS" being the operative word. Let the function suit the circumstance. Logitech's Unifying Receiver has good latency. I use the MK550 combo, K400R, VX Nano, and Anywhere MX on my different desktop/notebook PCs for LAN parties and presentations. They're all…

Buy wireless if you want wireless. Buy a better wired keyboard that doesn't have laptop keys if you want a wired gaming keyboard. If anything, go for the Logitech G710+ deal that was posted yesterday. Macros, backlit, Cherry MX Brown keys with rubber o-ring dampeners. Or go for a CM Storm Quickfire if you want to…

Excuse me? Cheating should have no real world consequences? What about the real world consequences you griefing bastards impose on your victims, who are just playing the game as designed? You couldn't be more selfish in your statements. You're content to waste other people's time and other resources in-game by killing…

I don't think you understand how Auto-Battle works. It's actually smart enough to remember all the commands - brave/default included - for your whole party. The "method" of spamming Brave can be done in addition to using normal attacks in Auto. It's not a situation of either/or. Just hit Brave 3 times for each…

It's not the processor that would be the problem. If you bought a 32-bit OS, you can't run 64-bit programs. That said, I haven't used a 32-bit OS for gaming since I dropped XP, soon after Win7 was released.

This entire thread makes my head hurt. Of course you can log into Steam without the client. That's how you shop in the browser when you're away from your gaming PC. This isn't the first site to integrate Steam, and it works just like Facebook/Twitter integration. You can still gift your keys to others with the little…

None of what you're saying is true. None of it. PC games used controllers before 2006, and many of them natively. Games mapped to controllers using third party utilities work fine. A game that isn't "designed" for controllers can indeed work just fine if you are able to map the appropriate functions to the buttons, a…

XInput is the new iteration of DirectInput. The 360 Controller did not standardize anything - it was an iteration of a standard ALREADY IN PLACE. It added vibration, made the trigger buttons individual and analog, as well as integrating the headset option to the device. You're ignorant, and you're wrong. Case closed.…

You can't really play RTS with any controllers, let alone the 360 controller. In the past, you would have to use a third party utility to emulate the mouse on the analog stick. Regardless, by narrowing your argument to just RTS, you have just proven my point...which is that you're wrong.

It's not what you just said. You're claiming the 360 controller doesn't work for older games. FALSE. If it didn't work for older games, it wouldn't have been released immediately in 2006, which is when I got it. I certainly wasn't playing 360 on my PC, nor were there many Games for Windows titles out there. I was busy…

You're taking quite the leap from RTS, which are designed for the mouse/keyboard and nothing else, to ALL PC GAMES. Perhaps you were too young, but plenty of games on PC used controllers before 2006. Platformers, action games, fighting games, early FPS, etc. You're doing a really bad job arguing your point. It's a…

Again, not true.

I'm all for the Steam Controller, but what you're saying just isn't true. The only thing that the Xbox 360 Controller brought to the market was a requirement for it to be compatible for any games that had "Games for Windows (LIVE)" on the box. The 360 controller can and will work like any other gamepad that you bought…

What you're describing as "regular downloads" are no different than what Steam is doing. The key here is that each file has to be placed somewhere different on the drive. What you're experiencing is probably poor write performance on different sectors and/or by different read/write heads of the drive. You have a gimp…

Maybe you should've bought a new HDD instead of this game.

Windows would make the machine more expensive. I'm not sure what your point is because the OP was specifically talking about functionality, which I addressed. He's certainly calling it into question, though you're saying nobody is. My answer was NOT just about installing Windows. I didn't even mention Windows until…

Good luck finding Intel Haswell processors and Nvidia/AMD GPUs on clearance at Target. These companies have already been selling boutique PCs for years. The only changes in this instance are the OS and a focus on form factor. You're comparing a stationary mobile device (the Ouya) with a gaming computer that is simply…

At the very least, you have a Linux PC in addition to SteamOS. Back out of SteamOS and you can install productivity apps, media streaming, Wine, VirtualBox, etc., as you would with a Linux Desktop. Or you can wipe the HDD and install your own custom config of Windows, SteamOS, and/or Linux distros. And at the end of…
