Playstation 3 Backward Compatibility (PS2 Playable)

 While all PlayStation 3 consoles can play original PlayStation discs, not all models are PlayStation 2 compatible. If you want to play PS2 games of your PS3, then you need to make sure you buy the right model. How to Tell if You Can Play PS2 Games on Your PS3 The original 60GB and 20GB launch models are backward compatible with PS2 games because they have PS2 chips in them. Other models, most notably the 80GB Metal Gear Solid PS3, used to be backward compatible using emulation software, but they no longer support PS2 games. To tell if your console is PS2 backward compatible: Look to see if the PS3 is a PlayStation 3 Slim Model. You can tell if a PS3 is a slim model if it has a lower profile, a matte black finish (not shiny), and the PS3 logo on the top instead of the word "PlayStation 3." If it's a PS3 Slim, then it isn't PS2 backward compatible, though you can still enjoy PS3 and PSone games on it. Look to see if the PS3 is a 20GB PlayStation 3. These were available

Sims 4 Cheats, Cheat Codes, and Walkthroughs For Your PC

 The Sims 4 for PC is a sandbox simulation game from Maxis that provides a different experience every time you play. It's an offshoot of the popular Sim City series that lets you throw different types of people, or sims, together, and see how they interact in your own little virtual world.

Some cheats change something about an individual sim, like increasing or decreasing the si

AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT review: A good GPU that (understandably) costs too much

 There are no bad products, only bad prices.” That well-worn adage, attributed to Anandtech founder Anand Shimpi, kept popping into my head as I reviewed AMD’s Radeon RX 6700 XT. This is a barn-burning graphics card for 1440p and 1080p gaming, but at $479 the price is far too high—at least in theory. In reality, graphics cards have been almost impossible to find thanks to a crushing mixture of supply shortages, insane demand for all gaming hardware, logistics woes, tariffs, and the mania swirling around the booming Ethereum cryptocurrency. Newly stocked graphics cards sell out instantly at proper retailers and go for hundreds of dollars over MSRP at resale sites like Ebay and Craigslist. Even used two- and three-generation-old GPUs are being scooped for more than their launch prices new many, many years ago. Things are so bad that Nvidia recently revived the ancient GTX 1050 Ti—an entry-level graphics card that first launched in 2016. All those extra profits go to retailers, scalpers,

Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 6700 XT review: Performance-boosting Trixx

 The Radeon RX 6700 XT hits the streets today, and it’s a fantastic graphics card for 1440p and high refresh rate 1080p gaming. But in an unusual twist, AMD’s darn good reference version of the RX 6700 XT isn’t your only option available on day one. While the Radeon RX 6800-series and flagship RX 6900 XT initially released in reference form with custom models following weeks later, AMD partners like Sapphire, XFX, and Asus can ship their bespoke 6700 XT versions at the same time as the reference card for this launch. http://lasertrace.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1737 http://lasertrace.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1656 http://lasertrace.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1768 http://lasertrace.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1586 http://lasertrace.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2402 Enter the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 6700 XT. This graphics card isn’t cheap. At $579, it costs $100 more than AMD’s already expensive reference model, and understandably so (as we explained in our initial Radeon RX 6700 XT review). Worse

More than 60 EA games are headed to Xbox Game Pass for PC tomorrow

 If you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass for the PC and have been looking for something new to play, look no longer: EA Play is bringing more than 60 PC games to the Game Pass for PC and Game Pass Ultimate services beginning on Thursday. http://help.stv.ru/index.php?topic=1219995.0 http://help.stv.ru/index.php?topic=1011935.0 http://help.stv.ru/index.php?topic=1097437.0 http://help.stv.ru/index.php?topic=953343.0 http://help.stv.ru/index.php?topic=34343.0 http://help.stv.ru/index.php?topic=1221298.0 EA Play arrived on console last year, and since then Xbox One and Series S/X gamers have been able to choose from a number of different games, including FIFA 20,  Madden, Titanfall, the Battlefield series, and more. Now those games are coming to the PC, along with the new Star Wars: Squadrons. We wrote last year that the Game Pass for PC subscription was the best deal in PC gaming, and it’s just become even better. The Game Pass for PC service costs $10 per month, and as of last year it included

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 mobile review: The fastest laptop GPU just arrived

 The only real problem with Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 30-series laptops is its stunning RTX 30-series desktop cousins. http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=365337&p=629510 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=232114 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=345638 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=91244 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=58663 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=22916 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=451426 No matter how impressively fast the mobile CPUs are—and our first tests show they offer everything from good to outrageous performance—they will never measure up to full-fat GPUs. Nor should they be expected to, except in the messy stew of physics, modern marketing, and occasionally toxic consumer expectations.  http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=451405 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=232276 http://forum.lilithgames.com/viewtop

XFX Radeon RX 6700 XT Merc 319 review: Big, beautiful, and utterly silent

 The Radeon RX 6700 XT is here, and once again, XFX returns with an absolutely spectacular custom spin on AMD’s new GPU—if you have room for it in your case, that is. http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?p=1148828 http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?p=320985 http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?p=1133023 http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?p=865659 http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?p=306074 http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?t=14686&view=next http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?p=1143852 http://forum.9dots.de/viewtopic.php?p=467240 The $570 XFX Radeon RX 6700 XT Merc 319 costs $90 more than the reference card (and will no doubt sell for much more than that on the street during today’s crippling GPU shortage), but you get a lot for your cash: A big, bold, barn-burning graphics card capable of fueling no-compromises 1440p gaming experiences without making a peep. Seriously, this graphics card is downright inaudible. It looks amazing too, with one of the cleanest and most aesthetical

Find power hogs on your laptop with Windows Task Manager

 Closing every possible program can help you eke out more endurance when your laptop is running low on battery. But not every program fully closes when you exit its window, and sometimes background processes can suck up a surprising amount of computing power. Fortunately, the Windows 10 Task Manager includes tools that let you quickly identify the power hogs on your computer, though the information isn’t the most straightforward to locate. https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19599 https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19600 https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19340&p=21336 https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19524 https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19569 https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19624 https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19618 https://www.hdbseller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19587 Start by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc to summon Windows 10’s Task Manager.

How to create strong, secure passwords by learning how to crack them

 Create stronger, more secure passwords: We are nagged to do it all the time, but few of us actually make the effort. Meanwhile, passwords continue to be stolen, leaked, and cracked on a regular basis. So this time we’re hoping to get your attention by looking at it from the attacker’s side! We'll show you how passwords are cracked and even how to do it yourself, so you can see exactly why a strong password matters. As our brief foray with a cracking tool will show you, your only protection against a determined password-cracker is—you guessed it—a long, complex string of 10 or more characters. Anything shorter, let alone simpler, is too easy to crack. Know that, and suddenly using a password manager looks a lot easier than trying to create passwords all by yourself. Read on to learn more about how passwords are hidden from crackers, and how crackers try to tease them out.  Note: We tried cracking tools on our own passwords for this story.
