PC gamers were disappointed to learn that Titanfall 2’s multiplayer beta wouldn’t be availableon their chosen platform last month. Because of this decision, there was concern that Respawn Entertainment may put more of its efforts into the console versions of the upcoming game. But a new blog post on the Titanfall 2 official website shows that the PC hasn’t been forgotten. It lists the minimum, recommended, and ultra 4k60 specs for the game, along with the many video settings that will be available for the PC version. Minimum: OS - Win 7/8/8.1/10 64bit CPU - Intel Core i3-3600t or equivalent RAM - 8GB HDD Free Space - 45GB GPU - NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660 2GB, AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB DirectX - 11 Internet Connection - 512Kbps or faster Recommended: OS - Win 7/8/8.1/10 64bit CPU - Intel Core i5-6600 or equivalent RAM - 16GB HDD Free Space - 45GB GPU - NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB DirectX - 11 Internet Connection - 512Kbps or faster Ultra 4K60: OS - Win 7/8/8.1/10 64bit CPU - Intel Core i7-6700k or equivalent RAM - 16GB HDD Free Space - 45GB GPU - NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 8GB DirectX - 11 Internet Connection - 512Kbps or faster Titanfall 2 will run on specs even lower than those minimum recommendations, though it won't look very good. “In the past minimum specs were literally the minimum bar to launch the game—your experience once in the game was probably not going to be ideal. Our goal for minimum PC specs on Titanfall 2 is that you can play at a 1600x900 resolution with most details turned on and average around 60fps,” wrote producer Drew McCoy. “We strongly believe that if you at least match the posted requirements you should have an excellent visual and gameplay experience playing the game, so don’t be alarmed if you boot it up and don’t need to turn all the settings to Low for playable framerates—our artists would actually like if you could see their work!" The recommended specs should allow a 1920 X 1080 resolution with the settings “nearly maxed out” at 60 frames per second or higher. 2560 X 1440 is also said to be very playable with this hardware. Hitting the magical 60 fps in 4K takes a beefy card like the GTX 1080, naturally. The blog goes into extreme detail when listing the various PC features (max 144 fps), new technology (extra spicy temporal supersample anti-aliasing), and video options (21:9 aspect ratio, ragdolls) in the game. There are even some benchmark graphs to check out. Titanfall 2 launches for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on October 28.

Twitter last October brought back former CEO Jack Dorsey to once again helm the company he helped create. More importantly, they needed him to help steer the ship back on course following multiple miscues. Twitter has been taking on water for a while but you’d never know it at first glance. The social network is seemingly preferred by every major celebrity and Internet influencer and hashtags have invaded our daily lives. You can’t even watch the evening news without hearing about what ordinary people think about a given story courtesy of Twitter. Dig a bit deeper, however, and you’ll find a myriad of problems plaguing the microblogging platform. The company has failed to curb the rampant bullying and abuse that takes place each and every day on its platform. User growth has remained flat for several quarters. Revenue is tough to come by as larger companies are getting the lion’s share of advertising dollars. It’s no surprise, then, that Twitter may soon find itself under new ownership. CNBC on Friday said that Google and Salesforce are both interested in making an offer for Twitter. What’s more, TechCrunch notes that Microsoft and Verizon are also interested although the latter may have too much on its plate right now given its recent acquisition ofYahoo (and AOL before that) as well as its interest in Vessel. Share value in Twitter is up more than 20 percent on the buyout chatter. In the meantime, Twitter is attempting to reinvigorate itself as a video streaming platform as evident by recent deals with organizations such as the NFL.

Sony doesn't seem to understand the current smartphone market. The company's new Xperia XZ flagship will be hitting the United States on October 2nd for a whopping $699, which is a hefty price to pay considering stiff competition at the high end. To put this in perspective, the Xperia XZ will be at least $100 more expensive than most other Android flagships on the market, such as the HTC 10 ($590), Galaxy S7 Edge ($610) and even Sony's other high-end phone, the Xperia X Performance ($580). The price seems even more ridiculous up against excellent cheaper options like the OnePlus 3 ($400) and Huawei P9 ($460). In any case, the Xperia XZ will be hitting the United States with a Snapdragon 820 inside, a 5.2-inch 1080p display, and an updated 23-megapixel camera system with faster autofocus. Oddly, the US variant of the Xperia XZ will not include a fingerprint scanner. Sony has also announced pricing for the Xperia X Compact, which is the company's 4.6-inch variant of the Xperia X. Available starting September 25th, the Xperia X Compact will set you back $499, which again seems slightly too expensive for the hardware you're getting. Like with the Xperia XZ, the X Compact will be available through Amazon, Best Buy, and a collection of other retailers.

We’ve seen Raspberry Pi single-board computers used for all sorts of clever purposes but this one may be my favorite yet. Zach from howchoo recently gutted an old NES cartridge (preferably a crappy game like Back to the Future as ruining a classic like Super Mario Bros. 3 would be blasphemy) and replaced the internals with a Raspberry Pi Zero, a USB hub (so you can play with two controllers) and a small mess of USB / adapter / extension cables. Zach admits that it’s a rat’s nest of wires but he didn’t want to do any soldering (I can't blame him there). With the hardware in place and secured down, Zach installed RetroPie on the computer and loaded it with 2,400 or so vintage games. He notes that everything pre-Nintendo 64 is fair play – NES, Genesis, SNES, Atari, etc. – but the Pi’s GPU simply can’t handle the N64 (nor can its bigger brother, the Raspberry Pi 3). If you’re interested in building your own Pi Cart, Zach has posted full instructions on howchoo.

A group of 126 Tesla Model S P85D sedan owners in Norway have filed a lawsuit against Tesla claiming that their vehicles aren’t as powerful as the company advertises. Bloomberg reports that the owners found that their models only put out 469 horsepower versus the staggering ~700 horsepower that Tesla pledged. As such, they’re seeking unspecified reimbursements from the electric automaker. Tesla spokesperson Even Sandvold Roland told the publication that the vehicle meets requirements according to the measurement method required by authorities. So what exactly does that mean? Tesla has addressed this matter in the past (and has even been sued over it). JB Straubel, chief technical officer for Tesla, explained it like this in a blog post last year: Further complicating matters is the fact that the “D” models have dual motors – one in the front and one in the rear. Tesla used to simply take the horsepower rating of each motor and add them together to get its equivalent horsepower output which was 691 horsepower. It seems that Tesla has moved away from that method as I’m now unable to find any Model S horsepower rating on its website. The Oslo District Court is expected to hear the case in mid-December.

When discussing fast Internet options in the US, Verizon’s FiOS service is usually near the top of the list. Sure, it’s not a quick as a 1Gbps fiber connection from AT&T or Google but it is way better than what most people have access to. Even 1Gbps will soon pale in comparison as some companies are working on 10Gbps technology. Yet even that will be slow compared to a new technique Nokia recently demonstrated. The field test, which actually took place last week but wasn’t widely reported until now, involved Nokia Bell Labs, Deutsche Telekom T-Labs and the Technical University of Munich. Using a technique called Probabilistic Constellation Shaping (PCS), they achieved a net transmission rate of 1Tbps (1,000Gbps) via fiber connection. That’s close to the theoretical maximum information transfer rate – the Shannon Limit – of an optical fiber network and makes FiOS look like a dial-up connection. As the Technical University of Munich points out, the trial used quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) formats to achieve higher transmission capacity over a given channel to significantly improve the spectral efficiency of optical communications. While most of us would give an arm and a leg for a 1Tbps connection to the home, that’s not what they’ll be used for (at least, not for a while). Instead, as ZDNet notes, such pipelines will help meet the growing demand for higher-capacity networks (for which we can thank streaming and our mobile data addiction).

Google’s Daydream platform is ready for developers to start building VR experiences. Today the company announced that their VR SDK 1.0 -- formerly Cardboard SDK -- has moved out of beta and is available on the Daydream developer site. The updated SDK simplifies common VR development tasks for building “immersive, interactive mobile VR applications.” It supports integrated asynchronous reprojection, high fidelity spatialized audio, and interactions using the handheld Daydream controller. Developers can use existing game engines and tools thanks to a partnership with Unity and Unreal, taking full advantage of Unity and UE4’s optimizations in VR rendering, head tracking, deep linking, controller support and more. Google is also opening up the Daydream Access Program (DAP) for anyone who wants to push their VR apps to Google Play. Google revealed the Daydream platform at its developer platform earlier this year for high quality, mobile virtual reality. While the first Daydream-ready phones and headset are yet to arrive, the timing for the release of the SDK is no coincidence, given the company is gearing up to debut its Pixel and Pixel XL phones on October 4th. Google also mentioned Daydream-ready headsets in their SDK announcement, so we’ll take that as a hint that we may see more than Pixel smartphones at the upcoming event.

The last 17-inch Asus ROG laptop we reviewed at TechSpot was the massive G752VS, which packed an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 in a body that's 53mm thick and 4.36kg heavy. For those after something a bit more portable, perhaps the GL702VM is what you're looking for. The Asus ROG Strix GL702VM still packs a 17.3-inch 1080p display with G-Sync, however it swaps out the GTX 1070 and its massive cooling solution for the more modest GTX 1060. The result is a laptop that's 24mm thick at its thickest point, and just 2.73kg heavy. Asus has also toned down the 'gamer' style that plagued its bigger and heavier brother. The rest of the GL702VM's hardware is about what you'd expect for a gaming laptop. There's an Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor clocked at 2.6 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory that can be expanded to 32 GB, a 1TB hard drive with an optional 256GB SSD, and a 64 Wh battery. The collection of ports is decent too, thanks to the inclusion of three USB 3.0 ports and a single Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C port. While the cooling solution isn't as beefy as what was seen in the G752VS, the GL702VM still includes a triple-fan cooler with independent heatsinks and heatpipes for the CPU and GPU. Asus boasts that the keyboard features 30-key rollover protection and 1.6mm of travel distance. The GL702VM is available right now, starting at $1,399 for the base model, or $1,599 for the model with an additional 256GB SATA SSD.

We’ve been waiting a while for the Oculus Rift’s Touch controllers, and now it seems that they’re almost upon us. For owners of the VR device, the big question has been: “how much.” Judging from a pre-order sign spotted in the UK, the answer is: “quite a lot.” Engadget UK’s Nick Summers spotted the pre-order ad for the Oculus Touch controllers at a branch of UK-based retailer Game. The display shows that the controllers will cost £190. After deducting local taxes – and taking into account the Brexit effect – expect the US price to be around $200. Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe said July that the Oculus Touch would ship in Q4. An in-store Oculus rep confirmed this, saying the controllers would be getting a “winter release,” presumably for both the US and the UK. It’s worth remembering that the Oculus Touch controllers do come with an additional camera that will improve tracking, which probably factors into the high price. It now means that anyone who wants the whole Rift setup – controllers and all – will be paying pretty much the same price as an HTC Vive: $800. Several sites have reported that the US price will be a direct conversion of the UK’s, which would see the controllers retail for around $250, but as this seems pretty unlikely as many tech products are now more expensive in the United Kingdom. The HTC Vive, for example,costs just under $1000 in the UK. Even if the Oculus Touch controllers do arrive in the states at $200, it’s a high price to pay. It'll be interesting to see how many Rift owners decide to splash out on them. We’ll no doubt learn more at next month’s Oculus Connect.

Capcom on Thursday published the minimum and recommended hardware specifications forResident Evil 7 on Steam. The game isn’t scheduled to arrive until early next year but at least you now know what sort of hardware your PC needs to be packing when the time comes. The minimum hardware specifications are as follows: OS: Windows 7 or later Processor: Intel Core i5-4460, 2.70GHz or AMD FX-6300 or better Memory: 8GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260x DirectX: Version 11 Capcom notes that those shooting for 1080p at 30 frames per second with minimum specs may have to either lower texture resolutions or disable streaming textures. The recommended hardware list consists of: OS: Windows 7 or later Processor: Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz or AMD equivalent Memory: 8GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 280X or better DirectX: Version 11 Capcom says that because the game is still under development, PC requirements are subject to change prior to launch. Resident Evil 7 is expected to take the franchise in an entirely different direction, from a zombie shooter to a first-person horror-style game. Capcom is still being pretty secretive but we can expect there to still be puzzles. Weapons will still exist in the game although Capcom has warned that it won't be a "gun fest" like we've seen in earlier iterations. Personally, it is quite refreshing. Resident Evil 7 is slated to arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on January 24, 2017.

It’s almost a given that anytime a new AAA game for the PC arrives, AMD and Nvidia are going to have a fresh batch of optimized drivers ready to go. Such is the case with Forza Horizon 3, the upcoming racing game from developer Playground Games and publisher Microsoft Studios. AMD’s Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.9.2 officially adds support for Forza Horizon 3. There’s also a new DirectX 11 CrossFire profile for Dreadnought as well as close to a dozen various bug fixes. The changelog further reveals that AMD is still working on a handful of known issues involving games like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Overwatch. Meanwhile, team Nvidia has published GeForce 372.90 WHQL drivers that are optimized for Forza Horizon 3. The update also delivers an SLI profile for ARK: Survival Evolved and “security updates” for driver components while issues in some older games like Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, Star War: The Old Republic and Rise of the Tomb Raider are addressed. As you’ve no doubt heard, Forza Horizon 3 for Xbox One and PC races onto the scene tomorrow (September 23) for those that bought the Ultimate Edition and September 27 for everyone else. Early reviews have been overwhelming positive meaning if you love open world racers, Forza Horizon 3 is sure to please. If you don’t have automatic updates enabled, you can manually grab AMD’s latest drivers here and Nvidia’s 372.90 drivers by clicking here.

Microsoft has released an update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 that will please users who've decided to stick with an older operating system. KB3184143, as spotted by ZDNet, removes the Get Windows 10 app and all other software related to Windows 10 upgrades. The primary purpose of the Get Windows 10 app was to promote the Windows 10 free upgrade offer and try to convince as many users as possible to upgrade. However, the app's tactics were controversial: it not only advertised Windows 10 through pop-ups, but it would also sometimes install Windows 10 in the background, even if you clicked to dismiss the pop-up windows. While most advertising for Windows 10 inside older versions of Windows disappeared when the free upgrade offer ended on July 29th, the Get Windows 10 app was still deployed on most Windows 7 and 8.1 systems. KB3184143 "removes the Get Windows 10 app and other software related to the Windows 10 free upgrade offer." Despite Microsoft's occasionally annoying advertising tactics, the Windows 10 free upgrade offer and the Get Windows 10 app seem to have been a successful venture for the company. More than 350 million people are now using the operating system, which points to faster-than-usual uptake for a new version of Windows. The free Windows 10 upgrade offer has ended, but if you want to install Windows 10 on your Windows 7 or 8.1 machine without buying a full Windows 10 license, Microsoft is still offering free upgrades for people who claim they are using assistive technologies.

Welcome duckhin I can't understand nothing of what you say

A new report from VideoCardz has detailed AMD's upcoming Vega GPUs, with information allegedly originating from a leaked internal server roadmap, While reports like this should always be taken with a grain of salt, VideoCardz do have a decent track record with publishing early information. The leaked roadmap suggests that Vega 10, AMD's performance GPU set to compete with the likes of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, is scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2017. It will allegedly bring 64 compute units, which should total around 4,096 shader cores: the same amount as AMD's high-end Fiji GPU as seen in the Radeon R9 Fury X. The report also states that Vega 10 will come with a whopping 16 GB of HBM2 providing bandwidth of 512 GB/s, and will feature 24 TFLOPs of half-precision (16-bit) compute performance. Listing 16-bit performance is interesting considering we normally see standard 32-bit performance metrics, however the figures provided by VideoCardz do point to decent gains on the R9 Fury X. As for total board power, we're looking at around 225W from this 14nm part. The R9 Fury X had a rated TDP of 275W, so it looks like Vega 10 will provide a reduction in power consumption for an improvement in performance. However, depending on performance the card may still fall short of the GTX 1080's supreme power efficiency and 180W TDP. VideoCardz has also detailed Vega 20, which appears to be a 7nm die shrink of Vega 10. This GPU supposedly includes the same 64 compute units, however memory has been increased to 32 GB of HBM2 with 1 TB/s of bandwidth, along with a total board power rating of just 150W. Cards that use Vega 20 will support PCI Express 4.0. And finally, the report has briefly detailed three further GPUs: Vega 11, Navi 10, and Navi 11. Scheduled for release next year, Vega 11 will replace Polaris 10 in AMD's mid-range GPU line up. Navi 10 and 11 are future GPUs planned for release in 2019.

The transition from standard definition televisions to high-definition sets seems like it happened in the blink of an eye yet in reality, it was a drawn-out process that carried on for many years. The shift from HD to 4K, as it turns out, isn’t taking near as long. During a recent press event in San Francisco, Consumer Technology Association CEO Gary Shapiro said that at year four of the transition to HD, they only sold 2.9 million units. Now, four years into the jump to 4K, that figure has climbed to just over 15 million units. What’s more, Shapiro said that four out of every 10 units shipped this year – and nearly ever set over 50 inches – will be of the 4K variety. The rapid adoption of 4K technology is largely a result of lower prices. In 2015, the average 4K television sold for $1,048 but this year, it has dropped to just $861. The availability of 4K content also shouldn’t be overlooked. When 4K sets first arrived in 2012, there was hardly any native content to speak of. While live broadcasts are still airing in HD, all of Netflix’s original content has made the jump to 4K. Rival Amazon is doing the same, making sure its new original content is also filmed in 4K quality. All things considered, this holiday season is likely to be a big one for 4K televisions.

Apple’s macOS on Tuesday graduated from beta status and is now available to all. Among the many changes is a new naming convention which brings the desktop operating system in line with Apple’s other products (watchOS, iOS, tvOS). macOS Sierra brings Apple’s personal assistant, Siri, to the desktop for the first time via an app on the menu bar and dock. Functionality is virtually identical to what you get on mobile devices meaning you’ll be able to check the weather, set reminders and reply to messages using just your voice. Siri can even read your e-mails to you if you’re feeling especially lazy. Other nifty features include universal copy and paste across various platforms (copy something on your iPhone and paste it on your Mac, for example) and the ability to log into a password-protected Mac simply by having an authenticated iPhone or Apple Watch nearby. There’s also a new storage feature that’ll automatically move less frequently used files to iCloud in the event you start to run low on local storage. What’s more, the update adds Apple Pay to the Mac which should make it much more convenient to make an online purchase. Apple introduced macOS Sierra at its annual developer conference back in June before rolling out a public beta of it and iOS 10 a month later. As always, the update is absolutely free so be sure to grab it if you want it.

After a few months in the developer and beta channels, Opera’s built-in VPN feature has finally graduated to the stable version of the desktop browser, allowing users to bypass geo-restrictions for online content and browse the web more securely by providing a secure, encrypted tunnel between your computer and a website or remote server. The new app is based on the SurfEasy VPN service acquired by Opera last year. It's free to use with unlimited data, no ads (for now) and 256-bit AES encryption. Opera claims that the VPN should be fast and reliable enough to stream video in 720p HD. To enable the new feature go to “Settings” (or “Preferences” on Mac), choose “Privacy & Security” and then toggle the free VPN. An icon labeled “VPN” will appear in the browser, from which you can toggle VPN on and off, and choose a location. One important caveat: while bypassing Netflix’s geoblocking technology is one of the most common uses for VPN services, The Next Web reports that the video streaming giant has already blocked the VPN from accessing its library. Bummer. Users are able to choose from five different server locations -- Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore and the US -- or let the Opera select the optimal server location based on factors such as network speed, latency, location and server capacity. Opera has added some new VPN features since the initial developer release. You can choose whether to turn VPN on for everything, or only use it when browsing using private windows. Other new features as part of version 40 include automatic battery saving whenever your laptop is unplugged, Chromecast support, the browser’s video pop-out feature now supports more sites and players, RSS support and an updated browser engine.

EA’s DICE has revealed the minimum and recommended system requirements for the next entry in the Battlefield series. Although it utilizes the most optimized version of the Frostbite game engine to date, you’ll still need a reasonably stout machine to play Battlefield 1 as the developers intended. Minimum hardware specifications are as follows: OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Processor (AMD): AMD FX-6350 Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K Memory: 8GB RAM Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon™ HD 7850 2GB Graphics card (NVIDIA): nVidia GeForce® GTX 660 2GB DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection Hard-drive space: 50GB The recommended hardware, naturally, will need to be a bit more powerful: OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or later Processor (AMD): AMD FX 8350 Wraith Processor (Intel): Intel Core i7 4790 or equivalent Memory: 16GB RAM Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon™ RX 480 4GB Graphics card (NVIDIA): NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 1060 3GB DirectX: 11.1 Compatible video card or equivalent Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection Available Disk Space: 50GB In a blog post accompanying the specs reveal, the game’s lead world designer, Daniel Berlin, outlined some of the adjustments and changes being made based on feedback from beta participants. Of note is a change to the Conquest game mode ticket system, balancing of various weapons and vehicles, multiple tweaks to the Rush game mode and more tools to deal with vehicles earlier. Battlefield 1 launches on October 21 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC with pricing ranging from $59.99 for the standard edition all the way up to $209.99 for an exclusive Amazon collector’s edition.
