I was expecting that, sodium explodes upon contact with water. That idiot should have at least googled the chemical he was fucking with.

The game has some sort of RAM speed bottleneck. GPU usage scales with RAM speed in those areas.

Skylake has a much faster min ram speed.

It mostly effects the low FPS areas so it's really useful to know. I also have run lower speed ram for years. I tested my ram from 1400 to 2000 in a trouble spot and the min framerate went from 38-40 to 50-52.

This game is also heavily reliant of RAM speed. There is a noticeable difference in frame rate between 1600 and 2400 ram.

Nah the game hardly takes my older i5 above 75%. The game is bogging down some part of the graphics cards render pipeline. In the low FPS areas the GPU will only be at 50-60% and CPU will be around 50 as well.

This is incorrect, it bugs out above 60. One bug that happens specific to this game is you get stuck at computer terminals. The gameclock also goes haywire. These things happen even with vsync if the framerate is above 60.

FOV is already hotfixed.

Here's a list of major changes, it's a pretty significant changelist: What is new in the Director's Cut? Wasteland 2 Director's Cut changes a huge number of aspects of the game. Our main new features and changes include: Graphical overhaul and update to the Unity 5 game engine. Expanded...

The old camera was not great but the new one is angled so you can't see very far. I also can't get the game to work without forcing DX9. EDIT: Gsync is what breaks DX11 on it.

It's not part of the current lawsuit but is similar enough I expect them to sue for that one also.

They are the ones that actually make the Corsair/NZXT systems.

The mic on the Senn's is very good.

The mic in the Sennheiser gaming headphones is fantastic, the frequency response is down to 50. The G4ame One and Zero are essentially the same drivers. The Zero is a closed cup design so will have slightly deeper sounding bass and much better sound isolation. The One being an open design is...

To be more specific, it will call it an upgrade but you can tell it not to keep anything.

You can clean install over an existing windows. I did it last night via the above mentioned method. You cannot install to a blank drive.

It bypasses the windows update software entirely and just downloads the OS. If you create a USB installer you also avoid windows having to create and delete partitions during installation. The cleanest and most bug free way to install is to use a USB installer and choose clean install over...

Pretty much everyone should ignore the windows upgrade and make a USB installer. http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 It avoids many of the in place upgrade problems.

Yeah....no. Longevity is crucially important and Samsung leads the way in this.

Actually, we all lose. If AMD had put out a superior card it would have been better for everyone.

The pill one isn't working because it's going to rely heavily on screen calibration.

I suppose they all do work the same sitting on a desk as a paperweight. Canned benchmarks were useless when they invented them and remain so.

Thin fins make for better cooling. They should be handled better tho.

It's not for display, it's a solid case. It's built to be forgotton. I just tossed it up for folks interested in silent builds.

I thought I'd do a brief write up, for those that like quite systems, on my final results in moving my puter to it's new home the Nanoxia Deep Silence 1: That's a GTX 980 running at 1480 (reference cooler), a 3570k@ 4.4 (Corsair H110), so some fairly standard overclocks. My DB readings...

The regular 290 is not better bang for the buck...it's just a cheaper slower card. For the OP; if you want to spend less than 300 get the 290. If you want to spend more than 300 get the 970. I think we agree on that.

However you want to slice it the 970 is better than the 290x. If you want to talk about the "value" or a regular 290 vs a 970...that's a judgement call. They're not otherwise comparable as the are not near the same price point. Dismissing AMD shortcoming by blaming Nvidia is nonsense.

Lets say that ya'll AMD fanboys are right, developers are for some reason making their games run shitty on AMD hardware for....I guess just to be dicks. Nvidia cards are still the better choice to run those games.

That's all I needed to read.

Not in FC4, Assassin's Creed Unity, Dying Light...ect...ect...ect. You have to turn options down in all of those to get acceptable framrates in those games. Some of which have significant impact on how good a game looks. You said more than enough...and that's just not true unless you're...

What is "more than enough"? Playing games at 1080p with g synch on an over clocked 970 is a significant upgrade from a 290. Get a 970 and give it a 20% overclock without even changing the heatsink.

970 Is a huge upgrade and an easy overclock.

Their games always run like shit.

Mine is holding at about 1460 without messing with voltage.

Yeah enclosed style isn't gonna stay cool with no fan.

If you want a card that is actually completely silent at idle..EDIT:...I actually forget which one that is but at least one of the cards turns the fan off....looks like maybe the MSI one. EDIT: yeah the MSI 970 gaming turns the fans off at idle. I think that's probably the card you're looking for.

I think mine was running at 1480 last night...but I'd have to double check to be sure.

I'm pretty sure I'm just limited by what the bios is limiting the voltage to.

I can test mine for coil while when I get home tonight....what's the best way to check for it? I played Dying Light for a couple of hours last night after overclock in and couldn't hear the card over my pretty quite case fans.

If you're not going to overclock I'd get one of the preoverclocked ones and just ask around to see which ones don't have the whine.
