Zero VGS posted:It is doing some weird-rear end stuttering poo poo for me, like every few seconds driving around it'll pause for a quarter of a second or so. Textures are loading so slow that the car is floating over un-rendered thin-air sections of map. You have a 970 and 16gb of ram and you're also running a $50 dual core cpu? I mean, it doesn't really explain the texture loading issue but you might want to upgrade that sometime soon.

Craptacular! posted:There isn’t anything they can do about that. Companies set their data caps based on the bulk of the bell curve (only the top 2% of users would be affected, etc) so making regular people use more data is the only way to make them go up. There is something they could do, become an ISP, wonder if they've ever thought of that

Looking into my order history to see if I had an evga gtx970 I found the old email from Newegg about the 970 class action settlement from 3 years ago, did anyone actually see any money from that? I sure didn't

ughhhh posted:The ones on the 20xx seem to preform well now that they use a dual fan heatsink design. Now that both the FE and aftermarket came out at the same time and the FE coming out at MSRP, i personllay found the FE to be a better value. I was gonna buy the EVGA 2070 super black which was their only MSRP 2070s but it didnt come with a blackplate, no LED, and has too much of a GAMER asthetic with evga logos everywhere and a plastic shrouud. The FE on the other hand comes with backplate, LED, metal construction for the shroud and a somewhat industrial look. I think generally they both preform similarly with the EVGA one coming out slightly ahead. I'd pay extra for components with no led tbh

So mojang scrapped their graphical overhaul and instead made it Nvidia exclusive. That's going to cause some disgruntlement. Curious that they didn't show off torch lighting

ItBreathes posted:6gb, but No Man's Sky, so kinda. It only happens after I go into the anomaly, otherwise it'll hold 60fps at max graphics no problem. Considering that they're putting out like daily bugfixes I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't among the issues caused with the last patch. Yeah that's absolutely on the software, don't go futzing around with your system at large to try to fix nms issues. Also, turn off multiplayer in the game options and see if that helps performance in the Nexus.

K8.0 posted:Text is never close to as good on a CRT. Freshly calibrated on a large, high res CRT is barely tolerable at best. Good post but this isn't true, and I know this isn't what the discussion is about but if you get close to a monochrome vector CRT with text your going to be seeing nothing but chunky pixels on every other display for the next couple weeks

repiv posted:FWIW 346.48 also fixed a problem I was having with Tetris Effect, where it capped at 100fps and ran with weird jittery frame pacing for some reason. Now it's back at smooth unlocked FPS. I've been having issues with a controller (Xbox 1 via Bluetooth) causing severe fps drops lately and every time it's been fixed by putting in new batteries. Something about controller vibration combined with low batteries affects the render speed of games, it's very weird.

Geemer posted:VR seems real neat, but then I look at the price tag for the cost of entry with a halfway decent headset and am immediately pulled away from any thoughts of maybe buying one, because I know I'll only use it a few times a year. A halfway decent headset costs less than a halfway decent monitor or a mid-range video card, but it's true it has less utility than those things.

K8.0 posted:A halfway decent headset is halfway decent as VR headsets go, but the experience feels like 1998. Mid-range VR does not feel "mid-range" by comparison to a midrange monitor or GPU. If the experience gap closes a bunch, VR may take off more, but it will always be niche and it will always really only shine for simulation or games designed around the very specific strengths and weaknesses of room-scale VR as reasonably achievable to the average person. idk what any of this means

K8.0 posted:Fox Engine itself was nothing special. What made MGS V so great was art direction. If you look closely at the game it's very clear it's not technically any more impressive than other games of its era, there's no magical way to push out pixels "better" and it's not doing anything fundamentally different than any other open world game. It just looks good, like all of Kojima's games, because he hires good art directors and has an obsessive eye for detail and avoiding the little failures that make you notice the weak points. i hope everyone in this thread has read it already but here's a breakdown of the rendering techniques fox engine uses http://www.adriancourreges.com/blog/2017/12/15/mgs-v-graphics-study/ It actually does a lot to enable art directors to control the final look of the game, even though the rendering technologies are standard

Taima posted:That's a totally valid point and they really should give basic explanations (or maybe even more saliently, stop offering stupid rear end settings that do nothing at huge cost). geforce experience is actually pretty good for this, they have screenshots with highlights of what every setting does. that plus the automatic settings, even if you don't actually use them, should give you a good idea of what is and isn't worth turning up or down
