Cool. So I guess I should go with the Gold Game pack instead of the Gold Complete, since the latter seems to just unlock everything in the game for you

Not super great bundle, but I managed to snag the BTA for $2.75. Can't complain about that.

2GB aren't enough for 1050p?

Titanfall was/is a sloppy pc port, too. That game isn't doing a whole lot to justify its performance at all.
Also, i'm going to try again: batman blackgate worth my time or not?

Ultra textures are disabled if you have less than 3GB VRAM (or perhaps more accurately, if you have <2GB VRAM). 8k shadows are also a no go even with High textures -- far too much stuttering and significantly longer load times.

If you want to play every game at max settings then sure, buying 2GB wasn't the best idea. But for me 'not enough' means having to deal with significantly lower image quality or not being able to play at all.

I thought it was based on Source. Someone actually managed to make a Source engine-based games that runs like crap on average hardware?
Which is funny because if you still have it set to Ultra textures and the full 64 pages for textures enable but set VT Compress on it only uses 1.7-1.9gb of VRAM for me even at 2560x1440. I think we're going to have to wait until cross gen games have been phased out to see what VRAM requirements will be like going forwards. I think 3gb is fine for a while but 4gb will be the sweet spot like 2gb has been for a while now.
Titanfall runs perfect for me
Oced 2GB 680 and an i5 2500k at 4.5ghz
I think the issues people have are due to crappy optimization for some rigs rather than not meeting the required specs
edit: which, could be what you meant, not saying otherwise
Bei der Verarbeitung Ihrer Anfrage ist ein Fehler aufgetreten:
Dieses Produkt steht in Ihrem Land derzeit nicht zur Verfügung.
... not available in germany (what else)
im not saying people with a card like mine aren't gonna be "good" for a while, but we're not going to be "perfect" and less so as time goes on
there was clearly gonna be a bump needed for next-gen stuff and it is happening. Saying that a game requires a 4 year old card as a minimum spec is even less worrying than what some would and should expect

Is there a price or pre-order date yet?
This is what happens with PC. Devs put their optimization on consoles. PC users are expected to upgrade to same/similar specs the devs are using when testing the game, otherwise have fun tweaking till kingdom comes and it give you a new gpu. Even if you SLI'd the latest just-obsolete gear.
I'm not overly fussed as I do plan on moving to two 870s. I actually don't mind knocking down a setting or two to get a game in a playable state, which is why I probably won't bother upgrading GPUs until AssCreed Unity is around the corner, however I do regret not going with 4GB cards simply for the fact that I had the opportunity to avoid this bottleneck but decided to take the slightly cheaper route.
Optional client, probably linked to witcher 3 multi;

...manually downloading patches? What is this, 2002?
edit : "I didn't buy it on Steam, I want DRM-free". nice

Heh, optional DRM, just like on Steam.
Can't wait to see the doublethink on this one.
Some extras

Thanks
Yea, I'll start, he must be talking about the choice of GoG vs Steam itself?
Sweet, thank you.
Thanks for Risen!
"Player's want choice. It's completely optional."
Plus it has cross platform play (Steam to GOG Galaxy, as an example).
Seems alright to me.
is there more extra for Galaxy on Fire 2?
with an optional client that goes against the reason people actually use GOG (DRM free downloads)?
yeah..
this was probably needed for The Witcher 3 multi or something
So is Steam (for select titles).
No problemo
Totally.
I'll bet their angle is that they may not carry games that need the DRM, so everything on the store is still technically DRM free if you want it that way.

I wonder what would happen if Steam released "Some Game 3" and put these words on its pre-order banner:

If you've seen TF2 and CS:GO lately Valve does that well enough on their own.
What's dumb is I'll buy the game on Steam and then get a free code for gog like they did with tw1/2 so I'll have it on both services.

theres like no way in hell that a gtx 770 is going to be able to max out @ 1080p on the Witcher 3, huh? fucking fuck.
Then again, i can't even max out the witcher 2 as it is. I guess I shouldn't expect much.

Gotta love the constant shots from GoG (and others) towards Steam, but of course Valve as the silent, tame giants they are...are just going to stay that. They're like the Hodor of the gaming industry (sorry, couldn't come up with a better comparison)
They wouldn't. They would instead advertise free Immortal-quality trading cards and watch the money roll in, ala the Dota2 Compendium.
