Remind me when was the last time a aaa game on pc went for more than 25% off a few mnthsnafter release?40% off is what Styx 2 was a few days ago on steam, so I guess we can assume that its the discount it will have during the sale, and the same for the surge's 20%.
20%
Well that's unfortunate. Don't know how I missed that.

Temperature isn't the be all, end all. At some point, raising the core or memory clock speed is going to make your system unstable (while intensely using your GPU).
1) Only adjust one clock at a time. Find the highest the core clock will go before you have issues, then back off that number a bit. Then do the same with memory clock.
2) Memory clock can be overclocked significantly more than the core clock. Core clock has a much larger effect on your GPUs performance though to the point you could not even bother overclocking your memory clock and be fine.
3) How far you can push your GPU varies between every card. Sometimes you get a dud, and sometimes you get a champ, or something in between.
4) My Nvidia 970 is overclocked by 110MHz on the core clock, and 450MHz on the memory clock. It can go past those numbers by maybe 20-40MHz on the core clock, but I backed it off where I started to have graphical artifacting and crashes.
5) Properly tuning your GPU takes hours, unfortunately, and there's definitely more to it than keeping the temperature below a certain point.
6) To cut down on the time it takes. Start with +100MHz on core and +500MHz on memory (do them separately though), and go up 20MHz/50MHz at a time until you start to get crashes or black artifacts, then back up from there.
7) I am not responsible for any damage you do to your system
. I am not an expert and there are much better overclocking guides than this if you Google around.edit: 8) You can adjust voltage and power limits too, but I wouldn't mess with those if you don't know what you're doing.
General flow:
1) Set overclock to some starting position, for example +100MHz over your base.
2) Test stability in a benchmark (e.g. Unigine Heaven benchmark)
3) If stable, raise core clock by 20MHz.
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until crashes, freezes, unexpectedly low framerates or black artifacts begin to appear.
5) Reduce overclock back down to previous stable amount.
6) Accept that overclock or make smaller adjustments.
Optional) Back down your overclock a little (10MHz) from your highest stable overclock, just to be ultra-certain of stability.
Caveat) Overclocking does decrease the lifespan of your components, but it's by little enough that there's a 99% chance won't matter. Even if you upgrade very infrequently (5 or 6 years) overclocking won't matter enough that lifespan is a concern.
The fact I expected a low discount doesnt mean I cant be sad about it.
I dont expect Emma Stone to fall in love with me but I'm still sad about it every day.

I'd be interested in SiN Episodes.

I miss SiN.
Just added you, I'll send 'er shortly.

Some of the most interesting multiplayer maps. I was really hopeful for the future of FPS games, but the industry has failed me.
The Evil Within is such a nice looking game. they really nailed the environments in the game so far(chapter 6). The gameplay has finally clicked with me after multiple attempts even though it still is pretty ass to control. really need to use the environment to your advantage. The agony crossbow is such an awesome weapon that allows for a lot of unique ways to kill groups of enemies.

I beat it before they fixed the adaptive difficulty glitch. What a nightmare.

I've been waiting. Maybe I'll just give in and buy it.

Mirror's Edge would be cool.

I might have gotten KoF if it came out when it launched on console but as of right now I'm happy still playing Tekken 7. They fucked this launch up by releasing later, a week after Tekken, and at full launch price.

Just requested my first refund of the year - King of Fighters 14 just wasn't clicking for me.
Looks like most of the early user reviews are positive. Was hoping the gameplay is alright. Ironically I'm more interested in it with the move to 3D since I didn't particularly like the 2D versions, yet was the opposite with SF.

I guess I'm the opposite... I have kof 13 steam edition and like it but the gameplay here just felt off to me.
I had preordered the deluxe edition too so I guess that's $60 saved.

the best thing about PC fighting games is that you can go back to the old games without issue ☺️
its fantastic. Old Blood didnt do much for me unfortunately (still good tho)

Help?
can't gift shit to everywhere outside my region, i didn't know they fix it

The only explanation I could think of right now, is that Valve added the price difference restriction on top of the existing region locks. If so it's fucking stupid.

I'm sure you would know, but isn't Taiwan a much richer country than China, so maybe the price difference is too great? Either that or Steam is taking a bold stand against the One-China policy.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Tonight I got badmouthed by a dude who has watched the least amount of PUBG ever.

Makes zero sense to block gifting from a region with higher price to a region with lower price.
I tried GTAV, which is close to 65 USD, still has the warning text at checkout.
Edit: Richer, yes, but not "on par or richer than the US" like AAA publishers priced their games.
hey man. I saw you flip a car in a flat field.
That is true tho, that was the first ever footage I saw from that game lol.

In my defense: there are small hills there and the physics system is currently so borked it causes your car to flip like crazy.

Good to know! I think I'll get just the base game for now!
Wow, true! What are the chances it willget 60~75% discount in Summer Sale?

Thanks a lot for this guide! I have set my core clock to 100MHz and will go up 20MHz from there. After that, I will overclock my memory clock. Is the default 0MHz or -MHz?Temperature isn't the be all, end all. At some point, raising the core or memory clock speed is going to make your system unstable (while intensely using your GPU).

We were playing Duos, so the game ends once there is only 1 team left. It still counts as a win even if you don't make it to the end with your team/teammate.
I'm not sure when this happened.

Never, it's an Enhanced Steam feature.
