Gee, that was hard :p

Cheers bud, worked perfectly. Just remembered that I didn't want to spoil the series by watching/reading previews :lol:

Quick first impression on the Asus Xonar U7 USB sound card. + Sounds great, big improvement over onboard sound + Includes Dolby Home Theatre app + Is portable, use on multiple PCs + 7.1 surround + Good selection of ports + No power cable + Well priced + Includes SPDIF to TOSLINK adapter - Needed to purchase a $2 RCA to 3.5mm adapter separately Using the included Dolby EQ profiler set to Music (dynamic) and playing some 320kbps MP3 files I can easily hear a massive improvement on my office PC (which has some cheapo Gigabyte motherboard audio). And because it's USB, I can easily move it to other PCs. And at $99 it's considerably cheaper than some of their internal cards (I didn't have a spare slot for it in the office PC that I use for 90% (besides gaming and video editing)). ASUS claim that your typical cheap onboard sound has a SNR around 90db, whereas this is 114db. Remember that for every 3db increase, you are doubling the quality. Only tiny downside is that you may need to purchase a L/R RCA to 3.5mm adapter. Unless you connect your PC to a TV or some other receive that uses stereo RCA. Can find adapters for around $2. I'll run two USB cables from both PCs on my desk and can then quickly change which one is connected to the sound card. I'll use the onboard sound in the gaming PC to drive the buttkicker via SimVibe, and I'll keep a Toslink audio cable connected to my office PC as a backup in case I have the U7 connected elsewhere. If you've got decent speakers/headphones but have been using onboard sound forever and enjoy music, I'd highly recommend this. You don't need to be an audiophile. If you have a $500+ gaming motherboard that advertises onboard sound with 110+ SNR then maybe don't bother. ASUS Xonar U7 7.1 USB Sound Card Review

Can't watch it either. Even tried a UK proxy

Nice one, Missy What production tools are you using?

Try erasing the roof :)

Rather than spend a fortune on an Audi or something (hopefully the Golf doesn't give me any trouble), this could be a great upgrade to the CBR500R: Triumph Street Triple R All the reviews for this thing are glowing, it wins all the comparison tests, has good torque all through the rev range (up to 13000 rpm), gets decent fuel mileage, is super smooth, and can accelerate as quick as most supercars from the previous decade. Bars are higher up so should be more comfortable as well, although there may be a bit more wind + rain exposure.

I thought Richard said that standing on LEGO was the most painful thing in the world.... I expected more screaming :lol:

I'll let you two sort out the dual-theme and create a new thread then.

Or just change the display preferences beneath the list of threads. ;) May only appear for logged-in members.

G'day

Well at least it's not exactly the same release date as pCARS this time :isee:

@D It was more the dual-mention of pCARS bringing pCARS that confuzzled moi

So I take it the 4k is just upscaled textures rendered on screen at 1080 - but I thought you needed the new nVidia 9x0 cards for that.

Officially (as far as Atari and devs are concerned) TDU1 is not back online (just mods), so I'm not sure they can legally/ethically sell an incomplete game. Perhaps you may get lucky and find a Gold Edition DVD that includes the megapack but otherwise it was an online-only DLC sold via limited webstores, which no longer appear to stock it. :( And it goes without saying that we still won't permit discussions or links about the other ways to 'obtain' the software.

Really? I'm sure they showed up as Stage 2 & 3 in game.... oh well.

You got some new hardware you want to talk about? :)

Do you even grammar, bro? :confused:

Most likely because the Brabus *is* a tuned Mercedes. i.e. Ford Mustang > Saleen.

And for the price of a Fiesta you could have a bike that's comparably fast. :D

Looks more like a fancy Accord than a new NSX if I have to be brutally honest.

The circular rear lights don't match the rest of the car. Interior is kinda there but as already mentioned the wheel and seats need work. I wonder if Clarkson is in love with it.

Poll added... and balanced out :cheeese:

And 3 legs by the sounds of it :lol:

Nice indeed.
