The conclusion of our December 2010 $500 PC story hinted exactly where I hoped to take this month’s gaming rig. Specifically, I was interested in an AMD Phenom II X4 quad-core processor paired with Radeon HD 6850 or GeForce GTX 460 (1 GB) graphics. However, I anticipated that pulling this off would likely mean building a $600 gaming machine, a move that would throw off our clean $500/$1000/$2000 dollar brackets. So, what sacrifices would be needed to keep this build on target?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Thats a dam good rig for that price, though i would spend a bit extra on the GPU maybe 50usd more and get something more capable, along with that overclock the CPU to make full use of the GPU.
Why do I need this? I have a PS3
Cell processor, More powerful than a i7
RSX GPU, Most powerful GPU ever
256XDR RAM, So much better than 16gigs of DDR3 PC3-16000C8 2000MHz Triple Channel ram
Its just the Devs are so lazy but one day my 5yr old PS3 will be running all games in 720p, Sorry 1080p, Yeahh.
I doubt waynekerr has anything to play, hey wayne time to go outside the trailer and wash uncle earl,s back and then milk the goat.
Love Tom's hardware and their system marathon builds and suggestions :)
I'd love me some PS3/360 though. I already own a semi decent pc (Phenom x4 and 5870 2gb).. but I'd love to taste exclusive games from consoles for.... FUN!..
The whole point really.
1080p is not a necessity.
I went from my 1080p monitor to a 1680 120hz.
Man I don't regret it. You can power from the downed resolution AND you have the smoothness.
oohhh yeah.
