Stop buying games and save up to buy a new card.
It's not rocket science (or league, for that matter). :lol

there's guys in the PC performance thread commenting that they got better performance on a 9600GT at 16x than a 690 at 8x and shit

id engine is super weird with bus speeds and all. I'll try to reinstall it on the SSD once im done with the witcher or something






Ethan Carter is much less of a walking simulator than I thought it was. I mean, it kinda is, but im doing shit.

I wouldn't be worried about mobo to GPU compatibility since your mobo supports a relatively new 2500k. Have you tested without the GPU to confirm your suspicions? Do the fans spin on the GPU when turned on?

Have you tried plugging your display into the MOBO's on board card (should be an HDMI slot around the sound and usb slots) and seeing if that works?

If you think the graphics card is the problem, perhaps try this:

(1) remove the graphics card.
(2) reset your bios (either by jumping the appropriate pins, pressing the appropriate switch, or removing the battery for a bit).
(3) connect your display to the video out for the onboard graphics adapter.
(4) attempt to power on.

Explanation:
In theory, your i5-supporting motherboard should have an integrated video card. By doing the above, you will ensure that if your BIOS was set to have the integrated video card disabled (instead of set to AUTO), you will again reset it to factory defaults which will allow it to display.
If you cannot see the PC post, the problem is not your video card. If you can hear things coming online (fans or HDDs starting to spin, for example) but it immediately shuts off, it may be something with your motherboard/ram/psu.

Wait, does the computer turn on at all? It could have overheated, meaning likely the heatsink/cooler isn't making contact with the CPU proper.

Fallout 4 season pass also qualifies for the GMG 20% off!

$72 for both. Not too shabby.

 

[Phawx]

Great performance increase. Part of what this means is that the ebay GPU market will be more scarce after people upgrade their main GPU.

Do you mean for all GPUs or just AMD cards.

Well all GPUs since not everyone is going to be upgrading from an AMD card.

I played 15 minutes of ethan carter, was surprised that nothing happened, looked up the internet and found out that i just straight up walked past the entire game.

All of them. You can now pair up NVIDIA cards and AMD cards and have them work together.

Sadly, that's about the height of the game if you ask me. Opening hour or so is great, rest is a bit bland.

Yea, I posted the link to the video XD

The only reason I asked was because Nvidia cards have a way better resale value than AMD cards. Especially after the bitcoin mining thing.

Edit: What I meant to ask was why do you feel the used GPU market will be *more* scarce? If we are talking about all cards.

You can. Anantech showed that a dgpu + intel integrated increased FPS by 20~%

The used GPU market will be a bit more scarce because instead of having a useless card after upgrading, you can use it to actually improve the performance of the new one

Mine does the same thing. Even worse if I downsample. It's like I should strap on and prepare for takeoff or some shit. Doesn't happen with any other game, really.

People love machines in 2015 A.D.

In other news, the 980TI is installed, which was wonderfully hassle free. After the footy I'll do the best thing to do with a new graphics card, benchmarks!

No credit for guessing who my wallpaper is.

Maybe you'll lose your job because of the injury.

Hey Jshackles. The auto-pagination thing is busted on Enhanced Steam at 4k. Basically because the entire page fits without any scroll bars, it never actually processes the next page. And it removes the page numbers so the only way to fix it is to window my browser and force the page to have a scroll bar.

Is it a bit slower after wake up ?

 

[Jazz573]

Cross-posting this from the VN thread, because it's kind of disturbing:

So Sekai Project cropped all the CGs in their G-senjou no Maou release into 16:9. I suppose they think people on Steam won't buy 4:3 games, but I'm not going to buy a butchered release without the original aspect ratio.

And of course they even locked the Steam thread that brought this up. Can't let those consumers be informed.

According to this Basileus777, the thread has now been deleted.

That's pretty strange. I've tested in 4k before and not had that issue. There's a section in the code that specifically looks to see if the "next page" section is currently in the viewport and if it is to load the next results. I'll have to go back and see if something changed...

There's an ARG-sized search for secrets going on on r/bindingofisaac consisting so far mostly of conspiracy theories and Edmund trolling everyone with vague tweets.

I remember he said that people figured out how to unlock The Lost way too early due to datamining so he wanted to do something different this time.

Yeah, they've deleted the thread and a bunch of other posts talking about the cropped CGs.
