I only have a GTX 660 otherwise I would pick up ED in a heartbeat. What's the Engineers expansion bringing to the table?

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:Would the tracker be counting melting as transactions? Has some goon ever done an analysis of hourly donations over the years, accounting for time zones? I kind of remember something like that. Does anyone remember if there was any pattern that would account for US/EU daytime and time zones where it's mostly empty water? I find it insane that in 5 years there hasn't been a single hour where someone didn't throw money at CIG.

Shouldn't a gtx 660 run ED just fine? Also, engineers brings module modding into the game. i.e. you mod your powerplant to produce more power, but also more heat, or your weapons to do more damage etc. Basically what SC advertised with "equipment overclocking", but it actually exists.

SC isn't that known in the East I mean they have their own poo poo. So at some point there has to be a dead zone, right?

It works out good because I pick up AAA titles on sale for $10. edit: None of my friends play games either so I'm more into single-player stuff

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:I had that very same thought when I wrote that. I've wondered the same thing for years now. My best guess is that they take subscription, loans, investor cash, and other residuals, and spread them out into an hourly average to make sure the tracker never hits zero. Someone should make an inverse tracker that shows expenses, with significant dips for coffee machines, space doors, and mo-cap sessions.

It's a good rule. My rule is to not play games that don't have VR support and it's not going nearly as well.

Buy games that are a couple of years old and you know they're stable, compatible, they've been bug-fixed and optimized. They also have DLC and mods are available . Only good games make it to that point, no-one mods the poo poo ones. It's also cheap. Let some other sucker get in on day one and pay for the privilege of play testing. Compared to buying space-ship jpegs it's absolute genius.

Yeah it's not been under $30k since like 2013 at least? It's definitely slowing down.

Even with decent hardware turning up settings like AA and shadow or reflection quality tanks performance. Not playing a good game because you have to run it on medium settings is a bit dumb imo.

My mistake agree totally, crysis is a great example of a game that nobody could play on a standard gaming PC at the highest settings for years after release.

Truga posted:Shouldn't a gtx 660 run ED just fine? i started playing E:D with a GT 520 (a plain GT, not even an GTX model) and with an i5 and 8 G ram it would run "high" settings at 40 fps in space and 30-35 fps on planets. Medium settings would push both into the 50+ fps range. Game is very well optimised.
