Jesus, it's been so long since I pre-ordered a game that I forgot how long it takes to decrypt, if I had time to play right away I'd just redownload it but I'll only get to it later so whatever.

It looks like Nvidia owners are having more problems with NieR. Also dat pop-in... :/

Let's hope they fix all these issues soon. (I doubt)

EVGA sorted out the hardware issues with their new batches of the 1080s, right? 15% of the Amazon reviews are 1 star due to the failures/fires/etc and its hard to tell from others sites whether they would be selling the new batches.

Edit: oh that's why the reviews are mixed–Amazon includes all the different EVGA 1080 models on the one listing. Apparently the blower style weren't affected?

"saving is possible"

oh thank you Nier, how fucking generous of you >_>

anyway, tutorial non-saving silliness aside, this right here, this is my jam.

Nier runs.... bad with a 980TI/7600k... in 1080p.

Constant framedrops, cutscenes run at 30fps, but even those videos have framedrops.

Friend has 980TI/6700K and can't even boot the game, flashing white screen.
Will be sometime before I get to it myself so hoping they'll fix all the issues.

Nier runs ok for me, I havent booted up Afterburner to check frames but its probably somewhere in the 50s, its quite smooth. Theres deffinately some drops tho but its nothing major for me, but hey, to each its own. I try not to obcess too much about it, if I was playing on consoles, I wouldnt be able to do anything about it anyway, thats how I usually think.

The cut scenes are shit tho, something seems messed up there, as they are clearly not even 30fps.

980ti/6600k have msaa at 4x, borderless window and settings at max and 1080p and have had a consistent 60 fps through​ most of the game(3 hours now). If I turn msaa off and shadows to medium I get 60fps at 1440p. I wonder why the problems are really inconsistent even with people that have around the same specs. The cutscenes are really bad though. They seem to fluctuate between 15-30fps even when it says it's at 30fps the whole time.

Thats soo strange. In the Performance thread you even have people with a 280x that can play it with almost everything upped at 1080, while I have a rather powerful rig and it doesnt run smooth.

Anyone know how are you supposed to get Ghost Recon for free with a new Nvidia Card? Received my card but there is no voucher inside? It was from Amazon btw.

No Truce with the Furies actually looks awesome. Like a choose your own adventure book mashed up with a CRPG. Definitely up my alley.
 
What's y'all RAM speed? I know there are a couple of odd games where your RAM speed makes a lot of difference in the framerate.
DDR3, 1866 mhz, 8GB RAM
Edit: Okay so I just went through
the amusement park
and the cutscenes are actually getting better performance wise. Before they would stutter and slow down considerably but now they are actually running smoothly at 30fps. This.....Is a weird version of the game.
 
I got the card but no email. I will email them unless someone abused it with the refunds to get free codes again haha

So if I remember correctly, Nvidia is (at this time) no longer doing the game promotion with amazon US. I think it is still due to that craziness with gears of war 4 codes.

Currently playing Nier at 720p. It's not so pretty, but at least I'm managing 60fps at the moment. I guess it's finally time to drop my 660 ti.

Pretty decent run. I'd say wait for 10nm which might actually see a release next year.

1080p/60 with a i5-4670k and a R9 290 here. Occasional drops into the 50s, but nothing noticeable if I'm not specifically paying attention to it.

Game certainly looks like its budget though.
 
I'm probably gonna grab Hollow Knight soon but I noticed Steamworld Dig is on sale.

They're both called metdroidvania, are they super similar? I could pick them both up but not sure if I want to play too games back to back if they are similar.

No, they're not similar at all. Hollow Knight is a Metroid/Souls-like. Steamworld is something else entirely.

This is how I got here. lol we'll see what happens.

Steamworld Dig isn't a metroidvania. They're both great in their own ways but not very similar, no.

Working great for me now. I'm pretty much getting a consistent 60fps with a few drops now and then, but nothing substantial. Cutscenes are horrible though.

How does that card compare with the 750 ti? That's what I was hoping to run the game at on mine

I think the store itself is locked but if you get the key with a proxy you can activate it in the whole region.

Steamworld Dig isn't a metroidvania. They're both great in their own ways but not very similar, no.

I'm just making sure here, I'm not talking about Steamworld Heist, I've already played that and it's why I'm interested in Dig.

Some of the reviews on the steam page describe Dig as metroidvania which is why I'm hesitant.

I haven't even played Heist yet, so no confusion here. If you wanna make sure maybe check out a quick look on YouTube or something but they're really not all that similar. You need to stretch the definition of a metroidvania quite a bit to classify Steamworld Dig as one.

Hollow Knight is your typical metroid-like "large inter-connected world with exploration gated by mobility upgrades." Steamworld Dig isn't really like that. The exploration is more focused around digging, the overall structure isn't the same and it's more linear.

"Waifu the Game" was The Deer, which I already owned. Quote to reveal the key.

Lolwut. Talk about misleading.
