Quoting: TheRiddickYes good news for laptops and low power usage consumers. However 5.5TFOPS is almost half of what the 1080 card will offer, so be aware of that. (performance per watt, I think NVIDIA win in that respect, but at 180TDP)

Keep in mind that, if the article is correct, this is a mobility-class GPU, not a desktop one. That sounds impressive to me.

I'd argue that this should only be done when necessary. Game developers should learn to make use of the locale settings instead of ignoring and stumbling on them.

While that's true, I still see a lot of games (particularly Unity ones) that seem to trip over this issue. XDG does are also somewhat of a locale issue, and there is a lot of games that confuse scancodes and keycodes, or more generally, that have strange defaults on non-qwerty keyboards.

So, I would say that overall, developers have a problem with internationalization (or, at least, foreign configurations), and should also do some QA outside of their country (ie. on the net, not only internally).

It sometimes confuses engines if not set. And I second the XDG_* suggestion. I hate apps that create their own .hidden_directory right in my home directory.

Quoting: MyeulCLooks really nice and sturdy. And way cheaper than the other ones I saw, too.
Would you mind adding a closeup picture of the clamp, to get an idea of how it if attached, please?
I am now seriously considering buying one :)

Yeah I can try and get a good picture of it.

Thank you very much. This is what I have been unhappy with in the other stands I have seen. This one looks quite sturdy, but I can't really see it in the first picture, while in the second one, the arm is right in front of it :-/
If you could just move the arm to the left and take the second picture again, it would be great :)

The Amazon page has some pretty detailed pictures of the clamp, if that helps.

Looks "a bit" like game of thrones. But what would you expect from a total conversion mod?
Looks interesting, but I wouldn't dare trying it on my current rig (H6870 with OSS drivers).

Or, I might give it a go. If so, I'll report here.

Quoting: ElectricPrismAnnouncer sounds too serious, instant turn off. Interested nonetheless looks like the story may be good?

Thought the speaker matched the tone of the video perfectly :)

I have to agree, I liked the VO in the trailer; and it was quite refreshing to hear a female narrator, rather than the "epic" male VO you usually get in trailers. I thought it added something played very well to the mysteries that await us in the void.

Yeah, me too. But I must admit that if you only listen the first two seconds or so, the announcer seems pretty boring. I had my headphones near me when I started the video, and could hear it. I almost closed the tab after putting them on my head, but then I decided to give it a proper go, and restarted the video. @ElectricPrism, I didn't regret it, and you are probably missing something if you don't watch this video, in my opinion. That is, If you like 4X games, of course :)

Oh no,
Now I am hyped about this game until 2017.
