The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

Devs put their games on sale. Typically the steam sale date is leaked through fliers to devs asking them to get there sale info in before a certain date.

Edit: could also be publishers decision.

Shadow Warrior is on sale for 4-something and Shadow Warrior: Classic Redux is a dollar-something. They’re awesome FPS games, you guys should check 'em out.

Day of Defeat: Source is on sale too. Is it good? Anyone still play it?

I need a good monitor, not widescreen if possible, 4:3, and under 150$. I know lcd tech is old, cheap, and dying.

My Acer monitor from 2008 is old, still works, but I’d like more to take advantage of my setup. (not getting the full benefots of my lowly 7970 ati card)

But, in order to have better resolutions and refresh rates, I’m essentially Fucked into having to use a widescreen aren’t I?

My anti-virus hates anime games. It keeps flagging the executable files of Phantom Breaker during the download. It’s pissing me off.

I don’t think there are sub-$150 monitors with greater than 60 hz refresh, which even your monitor from 2008 should have 60 hz.

In trying to fix my problem with Phantom Breaker I some how ended up breaking windows and exposed it. I just wanted to play my waifu game :frowning:

Mine does 75 Hz at most 12xx x 10xx max

I’m so tempted to resubbing to FF Reborn.
Looks like the current classes are getting interesting abilities to make the game less boring.

By the way, looking at Green Man Gaming for discounts, looks like they’re hooking up everyone with 25% discount coupons as soon as you enter the site.
So… there’s that.

You can preorder SFV via Steam now

So because Windows 10 won’t support 3d printing that uses audrinou hardware for the foreseeable future, and any new developments in 3d printing firmware will not use the same architecture (both in hardware and os, phasing out marlin based source code)

It would make no sense to use Windows 10 unkessbi build a new computer.

But I wont do that until the next 3 years.

I know the 7970 was enough for last gen, and will be barely enough for this round of games.

It held up to crysis 3 very well, not full 60 fps but whatever. But on wolfenstein, I saw the limitation of my card. Limited vram to 2 gb, I’m thinking of upgrading.

The new 290x look nice, I’ll want another intermediate in between the highest level like the 7000 series: 7950, 7970, 7990.

However, Im thinking I could get another 7970 and crossfire, but that configuration still has bugs. Iirc, emulators and frame stutter on games. However it does great with 3d rendering and processing

.

@sonicbad @shaft agent @kromo or anybody that can provide inaight, would intermediate 290x be better or would a crossfire work as well. Both have their advantages, but not sure what would be better for the next 3 years.

Don’t crossfire.

if you do, does that qualify you for the alpha next month, or what?

Yeah it does

Actually just read, lol…PC version won’t be in beta until ā€œFallā€.

Killer Instinct is coming to PC. FUCK YES DAY ONE

You are probably better off buying one good card, getting something with more vram, and support for newer features, than two older cards. It probably won’t double performance,but it’ll require more power, generate more heat, more noise and then there are driver issues and multi-gpu optimization issues. Although on the other hand, you could probably pick one up pretty cheap, especially used…but you’ll probably want to upgrade sooner than later if than if you bought something in the mid-high range.

The new AMD cards are just around the corner. With some of them allegedly being rebrands of the 290x with more vram and some other tweaking, so there is a chance the new tech will drive down the price of the old 290s.

Legend of Grimrock 2 on sale 75% off from GoG.

I haven’t even started 1 yet, but man… this price is very tempting.

Hahaha…now I have no reason to get an XBone anytime soon.

I’d like Doom to be a bit faster but other than that it looks pretty good.
