TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well, I've bought a £35 PSN card and if any of it gets taken by PS+ auto renewal I am flying to Japan and slapping someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop me a line if interested. I would definitely be interested in codes for Warlock or Leviathan if you can't find anyone else who wants them.

Mr. GOH! Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Got this because it was on sale. Never paid money for an alpha before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'll get it if/when it's below $10. Looks interesting, but not quite interesting enough to justify more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 As much as I'm interested in it, I really can't justify getting it now either. Especially considering they've said the price will go down once it actually comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'll get it if/when it's below $10. Looks interesting, but not quite interesting enough to justify more than that. I'm in the same boat but I have one of those friends who talks about it every couple of days and it seems so interesting. Like a lot of the mayhem from something like Dwarf Fortresss but it looks like it could be played by normal people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 It is nowhere near as complicated or obtuse as Dwarf Fortress, which is a game that is only playable by the truly intelligent, patient, and creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Radeon HD 6970. 100$ used from my cousin. My GTX 295 is now officially retired. It's not exactly recent and I'm usually more of an Nvidia man but I just couldn't pass up such a cheap upgrade. I lose some horsepower going from dual GPUs to single but it's otherwise technically superior in every way. More than double the VRAM and also does DX11. My first thought: "I can finally play Assassin's Creed III!" Once in-game: "Wow, it actually somehow runs fucking worse." I give up. I am never going to be able to play that fucking game. Maybe my CPU is the problem. I still think Ubisoft's engine is an unoptimized piece of crap, though. At least everything else seems to run significantly better. I can actually max out Chivalry now without my framerate tanking. So it no longer looks bland and terrible. Also, lighting effects! I only briefly tried Arkham City but the tesselation looks pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 What the fuck you can max out Chiv? I can't do that on whatever card I have but the card it replaced was a 6950. Doesn't unreal engine stuff typically run better on Nvidia cards or am I hallucinating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Don't know about that but I just double checked and, unless I missed something, everything is set as high as it'll go. I'm averaging around 40fps. I'll probably tweak it a bit to get something closer to 60. V-sync is off, FOV is 95 and resolution is 1920x1080.

TheMightyEthan Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 V-sync is one of my top priorities. I'll turn down everything almost everything else before that (the only thing higher on priority for me is resolution). I cannot stand screen tearing.

toxicitizen Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Isn't tearing an issue only when the framerate is ridiculously high? Like, I'll turn it on when playing something like Half-Life 2 because even maxed out I get 100+ fps and that causes a lot of tearing. But usually I find the performance hit to not be worth it unless I'm getting significantly higher than 60fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Tearing can be an issue any time a frames are being generated out of sync with the refresh rate of the monitor. It can be either higher or lower. What vsync does is make the GPU wait and only deliver frames to the monitor in time with the refresh rate, rather than whenever it finishes the frame. Further reading: http://www.tweakguides.com/Graphics_9.html It's just a personal preference thing, tearing doesn't bother some people, but it bothers the shit out of me. That article I linked says that vsync can reduce fps by up to 50%, but in my experience (on my rig) it's usually more like 10-20%. I'd rather run at 30 fps with solid frames than 40 with tearing.

toxicitizen Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ah ok. I've never really experienced it with lower frametates, to be honest. If it happened, it probably wasn't as noticeable. For it to bug me, it has to be pretty bad. Like HL2 at 120fps bad, or Mirror's Edge in the elevators bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) That would be the soundtrack. The game is currently 75% off on Steam and it applied to it as well. edit: Gotta push that new graphics card to its limit somehow!
