I hope everyone got a good sleep to refresh from Tuesday?s crazy day full of launch parties, multiplayer problems, system lock-ups and vast amounts of phone calls to Rockstar support line! Some of us had such an experience yesterday that our Grand Theft Auto IV experience carried right into "dreamland" as we have continued experiencing GTA even in our sleep.

VipeNess and I are just 2 of those lucky few who did not annoyingly have to take a break from GTA IV when going to bed. We dreamt of scenery and races and being Niko Belic for 8 hours in which time we got to meet some of his friends like Roman, Michelle and Little Jacob but also some of his enemies such as Vlad and other bosses that wanted our head! I am really mad that Funland was still closed in my dream?.oh how I would have wanted to ride that Ferris Wheel?..sigh.

We have decided that it would be a shame if we didn?t have a way of sharing our unique first-hand experiences actually being inside the game, if we didn?t have some sort of way of collecting all that and neatly organizing it for you guys. You can leave comments about your own GTA IV dreamland experience and at the end we will pick the best one which will be featured in one of our episodes.

this is the dumbest thread i've seen. Played GTA4 at a friends house for 4 hours yesterday, I actually prefer San Andreas. GTA4 felt like more of the same stuff. I wasn't impressed.

Thank you :p GTA 4 is much improved over the older versions, first of all, it has multiplayer which is a whole new world of content and activities. Second, there is the cell phone which makes it easy to communicate with people and also opens up alot of possibilities. Then you have the level of detail which again is on a whole new level of great. There are glitches here and there but nothing that can't be fixed with patches. The amount of things you can do inside the game is pretty amazing. I don't want to post anymore info about content because that will spoil the game for people. You just have to play it if you want to enjoy it. It's a game that gets better as you progress.

I dreamed about games when I was 12, now I think about reality, dreaming about games is a waste of time IMO

Although, secretly I still dream about a FF7 remake - But THAT'S IT! :laugh:

I think you sir need to get laid on a bed and be allowed to dream whatever you wish... :shifty:

no but seriously find yourself a girlfriend... :hmmm:

Haha you know what bothers me about people like you? It's that there are so many of you....it's not what you people say that bother me but that so many people are like you....you know, pathetic. How could you possibly know if I have a girlfriend or not? How could you possibly know anything about my life? It is your right to post anything you want, no doubt, but don't expect anyone to pay attention or appraise you. Judging by the amount of time your put into your post and the little thought that went into it shows that you have dedication but unfortunately that energy is dedicated in the wrong direction...

What a load of rubbish :|

Instead of spending all that time attempting and failing to be smart, you might want to you know maybe try and fix those broken sarcasm detectors :huh: no?

Geez I think all of Neowin needs to pull together enough strength so maybe then we can pull your head out of your own arse? :hmmm:

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

      "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
