[Elixir]

there was a lot of history in that chatbox

rip in peppers

[Cryptonic]

Yea there really was. Did we ever find out what exactly caused it? Maybe we can bring it back without posting it on the main page. Maybe disable BB code in it, or something.

[Cryptonic]

I saw the snapchat, it looked dank af

What games are you running with it?

[NoctiZ]

I just tested the DOOM demo, max everything with all that's possible is silky smooth. Gonna play GTA V next and last will probably be The Witcher 3. I'm saving that one until after I've finished The Witcher 2 which will come after I will have finished The Witcher (the first one). A few hours away from finishing that one.

But man, sitting on my old card (AMD Radeon HD 7770) I just put off playing a lot of games because they were laggy af. Love my card already.

Now if I could just fix my monitor input.. I've got an old ass monitor so I'm stuck going HDMI -> HDMI for now because the other possibility would be converting DVI-D to VGA (monitor only has those two). I've only got a DVI-I to VGA here and the card only supports DVI-D. Sucks ass, I ordered a converter and I hope it'll fix the color issues I have. If not then I'll have to wait until next month to buy a new monitor.

Oh well.

[NoctiZ]

Oh right, I could check out Black Desert Online with my new card because it'll probably look dank as fuck.

[Bunny]

That sounds pretty awesome. Was it worth the cost? I don't know much about monitors so I can't help you there. Some dudes at Fry's Electronics helped me out but I'm nearly certain they tried to get me to buy the most expensive one, so I went for a cheap 1920x1080 monitor.
I'm mostly going to only be running Civ and Assassin's Creed games, so I don't see a need to upgrade my 970 for a while.

Yeah dude, the 970 is a decent beast in its own right. If you ignore the broken 0.5gb then it's a really nice card for the money.

The 1070 is a bit above what I would consider "best bang for your buck". I'm usually an advocate of that buying strategy because I'd rather spend 300€ on a card every 3-5 years but right now the GTX 1070 is one of the best and at a very affordable price. 500€ was totally in my current price range and I really wanted to max out everything for The Witcher 3 at 60+ fps so I opted to spend a little more. Was it worth it? Probably. I'm certainly not disappointed so far (haven't checked out many games though, still downloading most). Could a cheaper card have done the job? Of course. But I had the money and I felt that since gaming is the biggest hobby I have besides working out.. money well spent.

Not gonna need to upgrade for many years. I might keep my current rig for 5 or so years from this point on (if nothing's gonna crap out on me) if the CPU will still hold up performance wise (running the i5 3570k) and even then I might not even upgrade my video card. To be honest 5 years brings a lot of change to the hardware world. But in 5 years.. man will I be able to afford a monster of a rig. Looking forward to that already.

Rambling on.. I might buy a "cheap" 1080p 60hz monitor to replace my current piece of crap and my new main monitor will be a 144hz monitor. Maybe 1440p but certainly not 4k. Only when I have two monitors and one of being the 144hz one will I be content. Estimated time frame until I have everything.. 3-4 months.

I agree, the 1070 is amazing and a great price. I highly advise people to upgrade.

Ayy I just finished The Witcher. Pretty nifty game, I enjoyed it for a game that's already 12 years old. Really liked the choices you could make in the game and the combat system grew on me. And I found myself wanting to do nearly every side quest.

[Cryptonic]

That's what I have problems with in that game. I refuse to advance in the story because of the side quests, I feel like I'd be missing out. It's a curse.

Eh tbh if you don't care about specific side quests then it's aight to skip.. I certainly didn't do everything in the beginning, they only started to get good at chapter 3 onward.

Haha yea, true. But I have a problem where I want to do everything in a game and always have the best shit. Another problem I have in Witcher is that I work hard to unlock specific gear. By the time I complete the quest, it caused my level to increase and there is better stuff. Vicious Circle.

Heh well I didn't have that problem in the game because I always aimed for the top gear. There are only a few specific items you can carry over from Witcher 1 to 2 and I kinda wanted that prestige and also that gear is baller as fuck. I was only able to finish those quests for the gear near the end of the game though because the game doesn't allow you to.

That reminds me: I have a bad problem of googling the choices of a quest when I'm in front of one and don't know which to choose. I usually want the outcome I like the most and this way I get more enjoyment out of the quest. It might be a form of cheating but well if it helps me have more fun.. I guess it's okay? :P

Wahhhh, Apo has this problem currently on Witcher 2. He's afraid of making bad choices.

[NoctiZ]

Yeah, I guess I will end up looking up many choices again.. atleast when I'm 100% unsure about what to do. I'm only an hour or two in though, played the tutorial and I'm at the "prologue" I'd call it where you're at the castle/monastery. It looks great with everything maxed out but combat is hard af compared to the first Witcher.

Apo just beat the game about 2 minutes ago. Wonder how much it affects number 3

Oh, nice! I wonder, too. For 1 -> 2 I looked up how my choices would affect the game and it's not all that much actually. Dunno how it's from 2 -> 3 but I might look it up if it's not too much or spoiler-heavy.
