Arkham Knight PC A Bust: Fans Batmad
Batman Arkham Knight is not enjoying a good launch on the PC. In fact, the launch is so bad, it puts to mind the launches of Assassin’s Creed: Unity and Aliens: Colonial Marines. The game uses the notorious DRM Denuvo (on top of Steam) and appears to be horribly unoptimised, with people reporting that not even a 980Ti can maintain playable framerates on even High, with numerous issues with SLI and Crossfire support (Crossfire is disabled in AMD’s Game Ready Driver, and SLI actually reduces framerate with Nvidia). Reports of stuttering and audio glitches are also numerous. There also appears to be a memory leak in the game, which causes the application to bloat to about 15GBs on RAM before crashing. It’s also locked to 30FPS. And AMD cards are even worse off, as even the o...

Xbox Updates: Controller, New Model and More
Microsoft will be offering a new model of the Xbox One, with a 1TB Hard Disk Drive and a matte finish, as opposed to the glossy finish it sells with now, which is an atrocious fingerprint and dust magnet.

My Gaming Journey With NVIDIA’s GTX 970
I bought the GTX 970 last month after most review sites described it as the deal of the decade and a product that stole the 980s thunder. Two GTX 970s SLI’d together were beating the 980, a single GTX 970 was beating a Titan in 3DMark firestrike, and everything was golden. So I bought it. Then I started to notice the tech community reporting about a few bugs with the card. There were a lot of rumours, trolling, misinformation, and general panic on the Internet, up until the point that. Being an owner of the much hyped and much slandered card, I thought that I should see for myself share my take on it. Let’s Get into This I would be wrong on my part not to mention something about NVIDIA GameWorks. It is a bundle that has been around for a while, but the ease of use that if brings to t...
