After around 8 hours of testing, I think there's something bad in my GPU or in the latest Nvidia drivers.
I have a lot of framerate drop on Shadow of Mordor. The game runs fine, the it loose some FPS, then it runs fine again.
I'm now downloading old drivers (344.48) to check if the issue is still here.

What kind of framedip are we talking about here? What card did you upgrade from, is your PSU good enough for the new card? Did you plug in the gpu power cable/s?

Whatl'll he do next, mod Illusion games?

Oh man. Having trouble with new HW sounds really not fun :/
Did you ask in the PC building thread or the actual 980/970 thread? Those guys should know more.

Hey now. T'Mar (the Vulcan woman from Star Trek: The Video Game in my avatar) is pretty awesome. :p That's the best screenshot I've been able to get of her, though. I'd've used concept art or a promotional render or something instead, but I haven't been able to find any.

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.

This one's way better, in my opinion.


There's also this one:

 
Enjoy.

Maybe you could do something with this one (same shoot, different shot)

Who's the actress I'm supposed to know? And this was a worse advertisement compared to the Skyrim ad.

Game companies need to stop making live action advertising for videogames that don't significantly use it in the game.
 
oh so gta5 isn't out on pc, comes out next year... no wonder no one here is talking about it. well that sucks :( although i don't even know why I'm disappointed, its going to be region locked anyway.

also just found out you can get the crew, ac:u or fc4 free with a purchase of a gtx970 or 80. I hope I can get the card before the end of jan(when the deal is over)
 
So how much performance do all the NPCs in AC:U need. I get between 25-30fps while I play it normally. Then there is a sequence in which
there are no NPCs in Paris because of some server problem
and it runs with 60fps...

Ubi claimed their issue on consoles was CPU capping due to the number of NPCs. Assuming that's true, it's a lot.

I finally understand why people are offended. You see advertisement, I see another great performance by Lindsey Sterling. Look in her channel she does videos like that or many things.

Yeah. I just dont understand why you cant turn the NPC-count down. I mean its nice that you can see 500 NPCs sometimes, but... I would rather have a more fluid gameplay.

I was really surprised, when
no NPCs were on the screen
and I got my 60fps instead of 25-30,

Ubisoft can't brag with a smooth working game.
 
The New Yorker's Simon Parkin wrote a lovely story on Never Alone and how the Iñupiat people of Alaska helped craft the game.

This and cosmicqueso's exuberance for the game really helped nudge me into buying it. And I have a totally legit excuse for the purchase as a "cultural experience" for my sons. I'm really looking forward to this. And to think I would have never known about it had it not been for this thread. Thanks for the heads up guys. By the way, if any of you haven't watched the vids on the Steam store page, I highly reccomend you do so. http://store.steampowered.com/app/295790/

For you.
You and I both know 99% of the people that are interested in getting a copy don't care about the homebrew and are trying to futureproof themselves for piracy, tho =p
Anyway, this is not the place for this tired old discussion yet again.

Not really no. If anyone wants to pirate they can already do that with the Gateway device. If someone is interested on piracy picking up this game makes no fucking sense. It's a user mode exploit that doesn't allow for piracy and that's it. For piracy someone would have to find a kernel exploit, which admitedly can be somewhat easier to find with this, but it might as well take a long damn time. There's really no reason to pick this game up for "piracy futureproof" purposes when there's already piracy options available and working.

gonna make me some soup and try the third one. curly hair is hard so but i think they're somewhat acceptable

also i tried flipping you current avatar but he looks pretty creepy lol

edit: added third guy. not sure if they'll work, had to cut a lot of loose hair and stuff, but they look better in dark neogaf. i wouldn't use the middle one tho, it's too shiny

Eh. I have respect for the fact that she basically became successful through Youtube, but I find her videos to be too melodramatic and overwrought. She makes her movements/playing way more complicated and showboat-y than it needs to be.

It doesn't change my mind about the game - I'll pick it up if it's on sale in a couple years.

I agree. She's talented but her videos are hard to watch.
