    ARK: Survival Evolved

    @ryang If you can craft narcotics like crazy, if you can make any kind of saddle for something that gathers berries this speeds that up immensely. Also take 2-3 tamed dinos with you and keep killing the toughest dino's you can. At level 15 I found stone building pieces were great for leveling...

    ARK: Survival Evolved

    It's my understanding that if resolution scale is anything less than max, the game is actually rendering at a lower resolution than your display. So your game might only rendered at 1080p or 960 if you are at 75% on that slider. I run at 1920x1200 with medium settings with skys all the way...

    ARK: Survival Evolved

    The patch that was released yesterday seemed to give me about 5-8 fps on medium 30-44, on high I still get 25-35. I will try turning down the sky quality and see what happens.

    Steam Summer Sale leaked? 2015 edition.

    Similar to a lot you guys I have way too many barely played games in my library already. But I bought two I had been watching for: Grim Dawn (I love Diablo and enjoyed PoE, this game is of the same ilk) Skyrim Legendary Edition(I hope I get into this one, I did not care for the previous 2 games)

    ARK: Survival Evolved

    I will preface this with saying that the game is Early Access and even though the game has performance issues I still find it very fun. With the system in my signature, I get 28-38 fps at 1920x1200 whether I use medium or high settings(with motion blur off). While high looks nicer, I'm...

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    Hello fellow Hard D3 players. The first year I played D3 I played softcore, but the last two years i've played hardcore exclusively. I've hit PL534 in S3, but man I think i'm mostly done with D3 for a bit. Barb's are my favorite class and it was fun to smash everything in S3 with WW. But i'm...

    ARK: Survival Evolved

    I've seen trees respawn but they are always smaller, not the bigger trees. Maybe i'm wrong, I will have to pay attention for 2-3 days.

    ARK: Survival Evolved

    It launched a week and a half ago with a discount. The list price is $30, it launched at $25. For the steam sale is was put on the front page for $25. It was not discounted further. I believe the $25 launch price is good for 2 weeks from the launch date, sometime in the first week of June.

    ARK: Survival Evolved

    I have been playing with 2-3 friends for the last 4-5 days. We are having a blast. Some observations: 1. I get 30-40 FPS with all setting on high/motion blur off/osculation off with the system in sig. 2. Once you get a fort and a bed it becomes much easier to survive. Having a respawn point...

    GPU Tweak or Afterburner?

    Hello All, I have an Asus Geforce GTX 970 Strix. It has a factory boost of 1355mhz, so i'm not sure how much tinkering I will do. But I'm curious which do you guys prefer Asus GPU Tweak or MSI Afterburner? I'd like to be able to: 1. Monitor GPU temps 2. Show FPS 3. Display GPU Memory...

    Convince me to upgrade from my 660 to a 970 for newer games.

    I recently upgraded from an AMD 7850 to a Geforce 970, the performance improvement was crazy. I believe the Geforce 660 and the Radeon 7850 were similar in performance. My current games almost doubled in frame rate, and a few newer games ARK Survival Evolved run great on the 970. I'm very...

    favorite recent indie games?

    Terraria and Dungeons of Dredmor kept me buys for a good 2 weeks each, great way to spend $10 and $5. I tried the Bastion demo, graphically and audio wise it seemed good, but I just couldn't get into it.
