I'm currently rocking a GTX 770 and if I want to experience a constant 60 fps on currently released games at 1080p, I need to SLI another GTX 770 on that. But doing so requires that I also change my PSU to a minimum 850 Watt (1000 Watt recommended).

Are you talking about maxed out or just 1080p/60fps? Cause my 660ti is weaker than your card and I run everything on high/ultra at 1080/60.

I'm surprised my graphics card works with no hitches to run games on highest quality settings, 60fps. AMD Radeon 7770.

I got this PC thinking the graphics card was outdated and I'd have to replace it but chose one that purposely had decent RAM and a fantastic cooling system, but I thought I'd have to replace the graphics card, but so far I've had absolutely no problems for even modern games on full settings and performance. To be honest, I'm not quite sure how it does it, and been working fine now for two years with modern games, but certain somewhere in the near future I'll have to replace it.

Throw Witcher 3 at it when it comes out, see if AMD didn't somehow give you a 290x instead.

Fear 3 single player is pretty much straight up garbage. Is the multiplayer populated these days?
Click to expand...

I have no idea, though as FEAR 3 was in a bundle I'm sure a lot of GAF'ers have it (about a third of my friend list, which is almost 200 people, own the game on my side), and I think the multiplayer is the type that'd be more fun with people you can talk to anyways.

Some you'd probably be fine with randoms, but then for the mode F**king Run, if one person dies you all lose, so that I would imagine would work much better with people you actually know/can communicate with, especially as its very frantic.

Also the last mode I didn't mention is my personal least favorite, but still not bad. Basically three people play as soldiers and one person is selected randomly to be a phantom, the phantom uses enemies that start spawning to kill the soldiers. When a human is killed, they comes back to life, as a phantom. Humans win if there's one survivor before time runs out or they kill all the phantoms, phantoms win if they kill all the humans.

The above mode, the Soul King mode, and Contractions maybe (the CoD zombies-like mode) are probably fine with randoms though, but I can say they've been a blast with friends.

Valve would just give away a Steam key to a limited edition TF2 hat that would sell for hundreds of dollars.

Speaking of which, that news the other day about that CSGO knife being sold for $24,000 seems to be fake, according to threads on reddit.

Ruh roh! Amazon.co.uk just emailed me to say my Collectors Ed of Dark Souls II isn't going to be with me until 2nd May. Hopefully it's just amazon being amazon or the usually European retail kerfuffle. Fingers crossed really, really hard now.

The gaming press get such rubbish swag. Sure a Nexus 7 is nice, for the day or 2 you play around with it but the appeal kind of wears off after then.

Now a fair way back one of the distributors for Mars came to a publisher I used to work for and offered us a joint promotion for a new brand of chocolate called Mars Planets (a bit like M&M's). Needless to say we said yes and took them up on an offer of 500 to send out to subscribers and readers. Turns out 500 wasn't the amount of packets but boxes. These things where sat in the office for months. I'm surprised someone from Environmental Health didn't shut us down as the hallways and one of the fire escapes were blocked. Surprisingly quite nice though and way better than the boatload of Virgin Cola we were lumbered with.
