Although I haven't actually used it, I'm gonna throw my vote in for the Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2, I would totally nab one of those if I... well...wanted to spend $200 on a controller. Currently I use the Xbox One (Wired) for Windows, and it does just fine. It is essential for enjoying any...

I generally agree. Yet in Rockstar's case they release such a top-tier, high-profile, widely acclaimed product that it doesn't surprise me they want total control over that product. If you own a burger business, by some BIG MAC ® sandwiches, change everything out but the buns with hand-picked...

With the more modern processor you should be OK. I'm running an gtx 970 overclocked to 1500Mhz on the core and 3700 on the memory on an AMD FX 8950 and I get decent enough framerates, 40-50 in the wilderness and 30-40 in the dense cities. With the i5 and DDR4 ram you're in a better position it...

https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/61312/Winter-Weather-Warning-on-the-Frontier I heard a guitarist in Blackwater playing last night, and I definitely thought one of the jigs was something Christmas-y. Snow hadn't started to fall yet, but I'll see tonight. Pretty impressive...

Just posting to say that it appears all benefits from the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Outlaw Pass No. 2 unlock retroactively once you pay the membership fee :pompous:

That is really doubtful. You might be able to “make it work” but unless assets are developed for a certain resolution, you’re really just putting smoke and mirrors in to action. Try res scaling some old games on your PC and you’ll see, you don’t gain very much when the textures are only so much...

“Authentic” 4k... we know they are doing the tricks now what would stop them later? Yep that’s why I’m still a PC gamer :ROFLMAO: But most people genuinely wouldn't notice the difference if you put them side by side.

Lol if you sleep in the same room you game in you are doing it wrong! I don’t need the sides of the box to light up but I thought they would show the xbox logo change colors or something cool like that. If that green thing on the top is a light and it’s really only green... wtf.

If they want to they’ll find a way to market it as that. I don’t think anyone is sure what specs they are aiming for. But at least 60fps 4k, those are the big buzz words right now and a step up from where they are at. But will it be more of the same, sacrificing some quality in order to provide...

Maybe we will though! Lots of flashy gaming setups are out there already, just not in the living room. It’s MS so I would trust if they included RGB it would at least be done pretty tastefully.

Microsoft taking a cue from Apple... “let’s change the form factor with every iteration.” Surely must be some people out there who would buy a whole new media stand just for their day one xbox purchase. I’m not exactly drooling over the design. A PC chassis like that would include some kind of...

My PC is basically 6 years old and I'm doing OK. "Playable" as they say. I should really put those specs in my signature :V

SP games I got recently that I sunk hours in to: Red Dead Redemption 2 - they’ve smoothed over a lot of the issues but not all of them. Tbh I’ve put more time in to online than the story but the SP mode is indeed great, the pace is slow but I wouldn’t say boring. Assasin’s Creed: Black Flag -...

Can’t say this one caught my interest with it’s blown over story and half-baked police. I wish they would make another NFS title where they would actually let you drive as the police. Shift 2 was pretty awesome, not a full blown simulator but a nicely featured arcade racer. NFS: Porsche...

That’s a bummer. Of course check the drivers for your gpu... there was an Nvidia hotfix a week or two agao. Some of the solutions in this thread involved things like loading the benchmark first, then the story mode... that might be worth a shot. Hope you get it working.

Adding more native resolution... still need AA. Adding more dynamically scaling resolution... good use of power. But is it better than MSAA? Probably depends on the application.

The story mode is a story and as such is designed to be enjoyed in a certain manner. There are a lot of ways to make traversing the map more exciting in story mode, but yes it will probably get repetitive if you put dozens and dozens of hours in to it. Online mode offers you an open map with...

Patch yesterday resulted in my GTX 970 reporting the correct amount of VRAM in the Vulkam API. w00t

I don’t really doubt the hardware at this point. Even the 900 series was touted as “VR Ready” and would probably manage to just keep up with some concessions. And I realize now that there are indeed a few options for headsets on the market that I wasn’t aware of. I still feel like it’s a steep...

I got my hands on a rubber nasal aspirator over a decade ago and it's still my favorite computer cleaning tool. Nothing beats a complete disassembly and brush cleaning though.

"runs average" ? I'd say varmint hunting is where you'll really feel the difference between say, 60fps and 30fps. Chasing squirrels is tough anyway. Better to attempt to sneak up on anything you want to hunt. You aren't gonna hit one with an arrow if it's already moving. I'd say the game is...

I've brought my mechanical keyboard in to work, a Corsair K65 RGB, so with Cherry MX reds. I quite like the sound of it. Definitely not too loud.

I think what I meant to say was you would at least need the controllers if the game was playable without a VR headset (I'm going to assume it will not be, ever). If you wanted the best experience in a flight simulator, a VR headset and the appropriate flight controllers would be a good fit...

But you have to at least have the Index controllers to play, right? This will probably get some people to at least look in to the existing and forthcoming VR technology, and that is a good thing. But I wouldn't necessarily call any Half-Life title the "killer app" that will get people standing...

It took a long time before there was any indication that they might have improved GTA V, like a year or so. Even then you probably wouldn't notice unless you had a processor architecture in line with the improvements they'd make. I've seen plenty of people praising the 1060 6GB's performance in...

And the most expensive game release of the decade goes to.... It looks good... just not $1000-on-top-of-a-VR-ready-PC-so-I-can-flail-my-hands-around-trying-to-load-weapons-and-use-gadgets-for-a-total-of-15-hours good. I think Valve wants to go for the "Popeye's chicken sandwich" effect by...

I gave up trying to achieve anything smooth over 30fps, maybe the GTX 970 can handle it on medium settings at 1080p but the FX-8350 and 8 GB of RAM can't do it even on the lowest settings, not in Saint Denis. After watching the latest Digital Foundry video that examines the input latency between...

When the modders eventually load RDR2 assets in to GTA IV's Liberty City.... :pompous:

Went to Nvidia just now and couldn't find the new 441.34 hotfix driver did NOT come up under the standard Nvidia driver search page. You have to go to the actual hotfix link to download it: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4930

https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507 I guess they don't release patch notes for updates that aren't "Title Updates." But it's Tuesday so, new legendary bounty, some new clothing options, and new competition series. Also a new Geforce Hotfix driver from Nvidia, that may be...

An 11Gb model? So it would seem more available VRAM results in a larger portion of it being reserved . Yes, and I do recall when I dropped the preset slider to the lowest setting, the VRAM usage was something like 17xx MB for me (GTX 970 4gb). Basically what I've seen (in GTAV too) is if you go...

Whoops. that's interesting that your Radeon card reports the same VRAM in both APIs and my Nvidia card does not. I wonder if this is unique to my GPU's architecture...

Your 4GB GTX 970? In D3D12 my ram reports like 34xx MB and in Vulkan it reports 28xxMB... a 500MB difference. The 0.5gb in the card is not reported on top of the extra half gig reserved by Vulkan. TAA does look pretty smudgey but it's 1000x better than seeing all the little alpha-jaggies with...

Just the phyiscs... NO... make the entire game reliant on FPS. Not the most exciting video but certainly very revealing. They certainly figured out how to down pace things from a design perspective.

"implement game physics effects that are reliant on the frame rate... that's inexcusable trash" :joyful::joyful::joyful:

Starting from the lowest slider preset, I was able to isolate a couple of the biggest graphical annoyances to particular settings: A) Shimmering appears on shadows and some textures. Fix: Enable TAA medium or higher B) Tree tops shift/displace Fix: This appears to be caused by the...

I believe what you are seeing are the soft shadows, rendered on medium settings, correct? I strongly believe that the fidelity of everything increases as the rendering resolution increases (not necessarily just the textures). So, at 4K high/ultra settings the soft shadows will look great, but I...

This reminds me of how in Far Cry 3, the passage of time was locked to movement. If you stood still, the timecycle literally stopped.
