If you have <3GB VRAM, don't bother. Also, if you have <8GB RAM, don't bother.
The game runs well if you've the V/RAM to spare, but scale well it does not.
Nah, you OK.
UT99 is most likely my favorite game ever, but for example I don't like duels in it at all, while I love them in Q3.
i think my card has 4vram but i'm not sure if it's serious 4 or like those situations in which it says it's 4 but it's actually 2 scaled up or something crazy like that
i'm getting my 16 gigs of ram next week so that's covered
i play it more than anything for the setting and london just sounds boring
it's like ass 4, ppl swear by it but to me the caribbean is super lame in comparison to like civil war america and jerusalem and stuff
and like french revolution stuff is super duper cool
but if unity runs like crap and syndicate works i might have to skip unity
Syndicate runs way better on more mid-range machines
it also looks a bit worse in some edges
im running it at total steady 30fps with almost all on Max on a 2GB Vram card

Someone keeps calling me from a restricted number. Now they are leaving messages and I cannot contact them because it is restricted.
I have no option now but to harvest personal info from their messages and start stalking them.

Yeah, Syndicate is kinder to mid-range systems, but you most definitely want to avoid Unity if you don't have more than 2GB VRAM (it's the game that compelled me to upgrade from a pair of 2GB 670s to a 4GB 980, which probably doesn't come as a surprise). I can't remember the last time my dGPU VRAM was mixed in with my iGPU reserved RAM, so I assume you're safe on that front, zky^10.

Run it at 320p
PCGH's benchmarks put the 670 at ~40fps with the Ultra preset at 1080p, but some folks in the PC performance thread have reported noticeable stuttering with 2GB VRAM. If you have an X1 or PS4, I'd go with that.

I cheated and read the plot synopses of Ass Creed after 3 and it just got more and more bizzare.
If you are going to serialize a SP game you need to buff that narrative.

I agree. Played both for years. UT has more diversity, Q3 is more pure. They are equal with the only exception of what mood you're in. I played UT more and got absolutely disgustingly good at it, but that was only because the purity of Q3 meant my connection often wasn't where I wanted it to be for the game. It was preferred for LAN parties tho.
update: it runs okay. not perfect cause idtech5 will forever remain a fucking mistery
probably time to play Wolfenstein
everyone seems to have a different issue with that engine
I just played for 10 mins from where I was and it's 60 with drops, which sucks on an FPS but at this point eh good enough
unless you're talking about Doom

AssCreed 3 is terrible.
I started playing it and thought, "Why am I playing this?"
I finished it and thought, "Why I did play through all of it?"
I started playing the DLC and thought, "Why am I playing this?"
I finished it and thought, "Why did I play through all of it?"
I did have more fun with the DLC than the base game, though, so there's that.
I love you, AssCreed. Come back to me!
Yeah, Doom.

if this real, this is the end of era for Ubi, they as well can pack it up and leave
only why are you playing 3 now?
I'm not. In fact, 3 was the first AssCreed game that I pre-ordered!
Edit: Oh, wait, scratch that; I pre-ordered Revelations.
You are way too much like me.

I miss Ezio.
The first 2/3 of II will probably never be topped for me.

I've never seen AC2 go less than 50% on Steam. Base price of 9,99 and always 4,99 during sales, not a penny less. The only one I'm interested in replaying again, first time on PC, besides maybe Brotherhood.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
But I like Blizzard. I liked Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2.

Blizzars still has a lot to make up for, after cancelling Starcraft ghost.

I only ever played AC2 then ACU and the latter was far worse. There was 20x too much padding but you basically had to actually do 3/4 of it to be strong enough for the story missions to not get annoyingly hard. They improved swordplay but nerfed the ability to run up a wall 6 feet and dive assassinate in the middle of a brawl, which totally sucks. Then they added a bunch of goddamn snipers and in larger fights dudes always pull out pistols while you're busy with someone else, so every mission in the second half could only be finished in the exact same process of going around the perimeter and slowly spiraling in picking off dudes. By time you actually kill your mark the entire courtyard is riddled with bodies and the whole concept of being an assassin is gone.
I heard Brotherhood is like AC2 but with even more diversity in how you can choose to off your marks, so I've been thinking of picking that up. I have Black Flag on Xbone GwG but it's a big download so I haven't bothered yet.

it does a very weird thing too
Vsync is apparently adaptive (meaning you gotta reach the framerate or it tears) when you set customed graphic options
if you leave it at a pre-set (max is High, even tho there are higher settings) vsync seems to work fine?
so its either playing on High or Max with forced Vsync and input lag
what a weird fucking engine

Cards are live for FFX/X-2, by the way. Six of the eight cards feature waifu characters.

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'm not sure if it was discussed here or not, but it appears that VplGhost stopped updating Steam Inventory Helper, and has (apparently) sold the rights to CSGOFast, a skin betting website.
Reddit discussion here w/emails from VplGhost.
I thought people should know, since the extension is super popular combined with the fact that there was no official announcement.

No other extension I'm aware of has the same number of features by a long shot. As such, I can't really recommend a replacement, but it would probably be prudent to archive your own copy of the extension and side-load it in Chrome, then remove the version from the store. This will let you keep the existing version without receiving any future updates.
I'm not saying future updates WILL be bad, but the potential is there for them to turn malicious.
haha yep I missed that too!
