the counter to the new PC feel is when you buy a new pretty game just to flex your poo poo but you dont like the game

i did this with BF4 for my new 760

Shadow of Mordor looks really good when maxed out.

Far Cry 4 is fairly beastly atm.

I can't max it out with my 970 though. Maybe I'll have to get a second one in a month or so.

Alien: Isolation and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes as well.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Ground Zeroes looks epic maxed out and I found out you can unlock the FPS. Crysis still looks sweet and I finally maxed it out with constant 60+ FPS. The New Wolfenstein game maybe.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

I wouldn't call Ground Zeroes a beast game necessarily since it doesn't really stress the hardware, at least for me.

GTA 5 will likely be a beast game.

Why did you get a 970 instead of the 980?

Wormskull

It was 200 dollars cheaper for something that by most accounts I could find, was only slightly worse.

It's has that retarded memory setup.Basically you might get stuttering when you're using more than 3.5 gigs of VRAM.I'd swap it for a 980 if you can.

My 980 maxes far cry 4 out at downsampled 4k and it does look godlike

When the last 512mb of vram is used, it causes stuttering because it's sharing its L2 cache with another memory controller.

Look at the last .5GB of DRAM, one of L2 squares is greyed out and there's an arrow between the columns.They share the L2 cache,Nvidia did the same poo poo on the 660 ti.

No one can really keep Far Cry 4 at a stable 50-60 FPS on anything. It's a pretty poorly optimized game. Alien: Isolation runs better and looks better because they actually put effort into it.
