What the hell is Nvidia up to lately, AMD cards really seem to shine in the latest games if you compare competitive models (GTX 970 vs R9 390)... atleast that's my general perception from the recent releases

Nice, yeah, me too. The demo was a bit rough around the edges but I enjoyed what was there.
Wonder how close to launch it actually is, though. I can't find a release date anywhere and it could definitely use some more work. Plus, this demo event seems like something you would do close to launch.
And aren't referrals ban worthy on Gaf? Or is this not actual referrals and just some sort of bizarre viral fad people are buying into? Either way, it's starting to turn me off towards the game quite a bit.

bad gameplay lol
I'd like to take a moment and thank Tizoc for getting banned. If I hadn't checked his post history after noticing he'd gotten banned in a different thread, I wouldn't have seen abracadaver's giveaway post in here and therefore wouldn't have won Chroma Squad, which I've wanted for a long time.
So hey, thanks Tizoc! Hope you're back soon!

You get exactly nothing from people getting the discount from you so its not really a referral

It is not referral. It is "we need you to spread the word how great our game is".
Great deal!
i think what it shows is that nvidia clearly optimizes their drivers for games. The reason why the beta/intial results are so in favour of amd is because nvidia hasn't optimized anything yet.
what i do wonder is what is up with their ashes results (async performance).
The only one who profits from these links is the one who grabs the coupon code (and well, the dev of the game). Not really a referral.

I played it and in terms of Visual Novels its kinda... bad. I mean not the story, but some scenes are quite random and the "daily learning, part time job" etc. feels grindy after about 1 hour.

Sparkle looks like fl0w.
It's basically just a straight-up ad in a post, which is surprisingly jarring.
Another new page!
Finaly!

Wow, I doubted them. They keep their promise!
I concur!
Thanks!
It's not very good. The story and art are alright, but the stat grinding sucks and the events seem random at times. There isn't enough story and character interactions for four playthroughs if you want to go for all routes, it gets real boring.

The rift between 970 and 390 is real. Damn.
Yeah, it is annoying but I figure someone would want to use the coupon.
They cost the same also so I don't understand why I went for the damn 970.
Well I do know... I bought it because free MGSV.

the 970 is a mistake
that thread where someone asked if it was future proof was hilarious given that it's been a bit crap for quite some time

I would say a lot of "new" PC gamers bought the 970 thinking it will allow them to play games for 7-8 years.

I had the opposite issue. The first Dead Space was solid for me. So was the second one. Dead Space 3 on the other hand crashed a lot.
I will be here with my AMD 7950, which isn't on the charts anymore. I'm fine.
My recent replay of Dead Space 3 was post-patches, so that may have factored into it.
New drivers may improve things. The current Far Cry Primal profile is some weeks old.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I've been really happy with my 390X so far, glad I upgraded. Hopefully it'll be good for another few years.
And it certainly will, to a point. I ran a 5770 for almost five years, and it was a $160 card when I bought it. It was only in the last year I started hitting games that it just wouldn't run at all. The 970 for 1080p (which is what any budget conscious gamer is almost certainly running) will be fine for just as long. I paid around $260 for my 970 last November and I've been very happy with it and very much doubt I'll update it in the next three or less years. Anyone who bought it when it first came out got another year out of it. Now, would I buy a 970 now for $350? Of course not, it's 18 months old. Hell, there was a time that was an entire generation. Besides, AMD cards have always been better benchmark for the dollar. But I had nothing but weird issues with mine for years so switching to Nvidea was well worth it, and when the 970 released, it was the best price/power card we've seen on the market in a very long time.
idk about banning, i just find it annoying and it's actually making me dislike the game because of how spammy it is
ahh alright, thanks for the impressions
If you don't mind knocking down a few settings here and there, I imagine it will be. 8GB VRAM should at least be able to see you through the rest of the current console generation, I'd say.

Consoles don't even have that lifespan.
How in the hell would someone think a 970/980 would be "futureproof" for 7-8 years?
What planet is this?
The people who post that, straight up with the template and all choose to do so. It's not like SUPERHOT has some login for GAF integration. :lol
That said, it goes back to reading the thread and nobody doing it before posting. Maybe they think they're being helpful, but with 60 other people having done it (hyperbole), I'm pretty sure someone could find a discount URL if they were so incline... y'know, if they just didn't VPN and buy it from Nuuvem instead.
Speaking of nobody reading anything, why are the section banners/header images misspelling "useful" as usefule?

It's the AMD counter of a 980Ti with massive RAM. It should hold you for several years.
You can't have the good without the bad. One year your setup is super high, next year benchmarks keep hammering you down. Ah well. It was nice while it lasted.
Ah dang, just checked the tab from yesterday's big raffle. Didn't win ARK. My plan to psychologically deter people didn't work after all!

If it looks like affordable next gen cards are still a year or so away, I'm thinking about getting a 390X with 8 gigs and see if that will get me another 18 months or so. Though my i7 3770 cpu is getting up there. I have it paired with some fairly slow memory because the motherboard doesn't support anything faster.
Well, I wouldn't say 7/8, but 5/6? Easily. The 970 is a fine card and it will continue to be a fine card for many years, unless you absolutely need to max every single setting every time.
