i too played at 60 fps at 1080p on 970 strix. this game can eats up whole 4gb, but 3.5gb limitation, sometimes when game demand more than that, then faces FPS dips. but rare occasion.

aha I can understand but that's not so far when games will be crossing the 4gb bar and all GPU's will start to behave same with 4GB memories :D good for me I'm on 900p native resolution that saves up video memory :cowboy:

Even if Nvidia loses the lawsuits, what good would it do to Local Pakis who've already bought it in lieu of the eminence it posed on the first glance.
Goras would get a free replacement as a gesture of compliment, what about us? People have already dilated the used/without warranty price per unit of 970 all around the Market Price and they are playing a trade on it at a magnanimous profitable Boom

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
