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

That’s good to know, even if what “active window” means seems to be a little up in the air.

I was thinking something more like a dedicated program so I wouldn’t have to stop mid-game to paste screenshots.

But maybe I can attack this issue from another angle: Keep the steam overlay and prevent bullshit from popping up in the corners (other than achievements and screenshot confirmations).

no, im in america. if you have a better one post it.

It’s a little bit over $700. The costs for a operating system, monitor, keyboard + mouse, etc are up to you.

Like the Ford GT with all the dents and shit snake posted from the other angle. Speed holes, it makes the car go faster. Like “Towel Trick” for the XBOX 360. AMD OEM, no heat limiters, my dude.

Xcom for a dollar, expansion for beat the average. CIV games also.

now imagine that detail with face tracking looking at it up close and interpersonal. HOW can that not be amazing

Yup. B&S players and those interested should stop by.

I use Bandicam. Fraps does essentially the same, but I seem to recall that the free version was more limited. I take thousands of screenshots from a game and then copy maybe the best five ones to the steam upload folder.

If you wish to seek and compare, I don’t know what the best are:

Edit: check the specifics of the free version on each product’s site. I’ve just read in the wikipedia that Bandicam’s puts a watermark on screenshots, but that’s definitely not the case with the version I use; it only watermarks videos. Either the wikipedia is wrong about this or they gimped the free version after I downloaded it.

bought this one…I don’t game hard but might need it for photoshop and video editing too I guess

Well:

Live and learn, I guess.
Last WB games product I’ll ever purchase.

Yeah, I was thinking fraps too. Better than every group popping up in the corner during gameplay.

A friend gifted MKX to me and I’m still mad it’s in my library. I didn’t even pay money for it.

WB Games has no idea wtf to do with the PC market. From Arkham Knight and the failures of Infinite Crisis to this mess here, you’d have to be crazy to buy a PC product from them after all that.

Can I have the Tomb Raider code?

No, the problem is they have an idea, and the idea is, “throw a bucket of fishheads down the stairs once every couple of months”.
They aren’t stupid. They’re just negligent.

Although, part of me finds it hilarious that people are lamenting the chance to buy DLC.

Lmfao at Jack Forst flaggin niggas like a flaggot. Don’t make me signal Preppy.

Yo this K70 is the fucking truth, and is on a totally different level from anything ive used before. Took a couple of snaps incase anybody is interested.

Good looking out lads, my punk ass didnt even know about these things.

Cousin got a 290 and is coming over on Sat to sell me his “old” 7970. Can’t wait to try it out, looking at benchmarks it should run everything at 1080p/60FPS on max that isn’t Crysis 3 and The Witcher 3. :tup:

I bought a PS4 because I didn’t like the way the SFV beta ran on my rig, but once I get that new card I might end up getting SFV on PC instead of on console anyway. :rofl:

7970 is pretty godlike, it’s what I have on my rig. It’s a shame I didn’t bother fixing metro 2 and it pretty much played at 5 fps

what is this, and why is it special

What’s this about Skylake chipsets requiring Windows 10?

Fuck that shit. I’m not upgrading anytime soon. I wouldn’t compromise privacy and integrity for DX12.

You can totally do all the crazy steps on the Enterprise version!
