There's been a DX12 Update yesterday to Rise of the Tomb Raider - gonna test that today.
Close to finally finishing AC Syndicate :P
Still need to play those Witcher 3 AddOns.
*whispers* haven't finished GTA 5 yet.
Prey is good fun.
Soon there will be a Tandem-Trailer update to ETS2! Hopefully not a Donkey-"Soon"...

Edit: Also I'm kinda in a similar situation... recently got steam gift cards and there just really isn't anything new to spend them on. Nor does there seem to be anything coming out soon apart from bannerlord which is soon(tm). Any recommendation for games coming out later this year, if there isn't really much out now?

idk :? how's the PvP in FFXIV? I did sink about 200 hours into it when it was first released but only ever did PvE. Wouldn't mind wasting some time on an MMO actually, preferably something with fun PvP.

Finished Prey recently, wasn't too bad
GV needs that big update before I could look at it again
Lost interest in the Witcher 3.... don't bash me dudes
I'm not that keen on FPS games although I did enjoy Planetside 2 for a while, maybe just for the grind   :oops:

FFXIV isn't really for PvP, it's very average there. FFXIV is kinda meant to be played for story/pve/fashion. Though not sure when was the last time I played fun PvP in an MMO. I guess ArcheAge with all the ships and pirating.

Server performance is really the only thing missing from the game. PUBG has to be one of the most solid Early Access releases ever. Already have 200+ hours played, including hours in beta.

Yep, it's like a perfect mix between GTA5/JC/DayZ with only the best elements taken from each, hitting the perfect zone by having smooth movement and gunplay while retaining the realism/tactical aspects of DayZ. Very impressed with it, and the devs consistently make great design decisions and are very active in making changes. The crazy thing is that it already feels like a feature complete game due to just how much variation you get each playthrough even on a single map thanks to the way the circles work. I can easily see myself spending a 1000 hours on this considering they're going to add multiple maps and game modes like 50v50.

Desync/general lag can be really bad though. Hopefully this month's monthly update significantly improves things.

Ok I shouldn"t have said a less fun version of Just Cause 2 as I have never played PUBG but the graphics look like a downgraded JC2. Is it easier to find fights in it than JC as I had a hard time finding hotspots or more accurately they always seemed far off from where I spawned then when I got in a vehicle/plane I always got distracted by driving/flying and crashing alot til I got bored and quit.

Not that anyone plays these kind of games for the graphics, but downgraded Just Cause 2 graphics? It looks way better than Just Cause 3.

I'm excited for the future of PUBG. They already have a very solid base, so they can add all the awesome extras to it because most of the core features are already here. So many EA games promise modding support and so on, but before they can do that they need to complete a plethora of base features first. I honestly believe someone will make a better DayZ in PUBG before the other DayZ comes out of EA.

That's what makes it feel better than other EA games, it already feels complete. And you don't have to "hope" that they complete the game and fulfill their promises. At this stage, everything new is extra, it's already a fully functional and enjoyable game.

Your PC is definitely good enough to get decent enough frame rate to be smooth, but it might take some research. There are lots of optimization you might have to do at this stage yourself, like threaded optimization on, shader cache off, -sm4, playing around with the settings to shift more workload to the GPU (lower isn't always better), turning HPET off, etc. Some people's frames have went from 20-30 to 80-100 after doing tweaks like those.
Title: Re: what to actually play
Post by: Vibe on June 06, 2017, 02:48:47 pm
Yeah gotta toy around with the settings. Some settings on the lowest might not actually be the best choice (for example AA). Just gotta find out what's the best for your system.

Also you left out the most important part of your PC in regards to this game - the CPU.

I'm really tempted on getting PUBG myself, but I hate getting into early access games. This type of game however is acceptable (Tough I'll still wait for a summer sale if there will be one).

There are some things I'd like changed/improved (Crates suck, possibility of bleeding too, and obviously more weapons and maps), but overall, it's a damn good game if you enjoy battle royal. It's from the same guy that created the arma mod. H1Z1 is so arcadey compared to this.

I mostly meant the majority of the rewards suck. Opening a bunch of crates to find crap is not what I consider fun.

Yeah the cosmetic rewards are kinda bland right now. They said they'll focus on skins and cosmetics post release and I give them respect for doing that, put out a polished game first.

I had RX 480 (almost identical benchmarks with 1060) and i7-3770K and ran the game just fine, averaging maybe 90 FPS and getting 110+ indoors and in some areas. Is your 3770 overclocked?

And no, you don't need more than 8 gigs unless you want to keep 100 Chrome tabs open while you play.

Whether the quality matters is rather debatable too. Many benchmarks show almost no FPS improvement in games with different RAMs. You're certainly not going to go from unplayable FPS to playable FPS or vice versa due to your RAM.

For example:

There's no real difference in the vast majority of games. Some games like BF 1 and Fallout 4 make use of faster RAM if your GPU and CPU are maxed out.

Which game even uses more than 8 gigs of RAM? PUBG certainly doesn't. Uses about 4-5 gigs for me.

More games are having 8 gigs as min with 16 becoming recommended meaning 8gb may be a hinderance soon. It is not a big issue just yet but it is something to consider. Plus ram is cheap so there's no real reason not to have 16 over 8 if you can fit it in your motherboard.

CPU is a Intel Core i7-3770K, so I should be fine
and are more than 8 gigs currently really necessary?

No but I'm just surprised to see a 1060 with only 8. Seems like a pricey graphics card with the min ram needed. Just looks out of place.

Not in today's day and age, unless you plan on running multiple games at once. However, the quality of those 8 gigs matters more so than their quantity. Any idea what the rams clock speed and latency is?

Bigger issue would be if its DD2 rather than DD4. DDr3 should be close enough for the most part that its not a huge issue but DDR3 is worse than DDR4 in general.

I had RX 480 (almost identical benchmarks with 1060) and i7-3770K and ran the game just fine, averaging maybe 90 FPS and getting 110+ indoors and in some areas. Is your 3770 overclocked?

Corsair Vengeance, 2x 4 gb. Got those in 2012 but I have no idea about clock speed and/or latency.

nah, I don´t fiddle around with overclocking, I´d probably break something with that

If I´d get two additional 4 gig bars, would it f.e. make a big difference if the old ones were DDr2/DDr3 and the new ones DDr4? Don´t have the packaging at my hands now so I have no idea what DDR they are. Although if it´s a Vengeance and from 2012, I´m pretty sure that they´re DDr3

Not that, but I also sometimes have multiple fat 3d programs, browsers etc working at the same time and then stuff gets slow, didn´t really bother me for a longer time but I´m lately working more often like that, so more RAM would come in handy actually


there are 2 free slots in the motherboard left, so I´ll go for additional 2x4gb. RAM is, thankfully, cheap and corsair are really durable (maybe that´s why they have unlimited warranty), shouldn´t be that much of a prob if I mix up 2x ddr3 and 2x ddr4, nah?

Idk about ddr3 and ddr4, but some ram  types actually use a different type of slot and they physically cannot fit in a different one. Also, if your motherboard is only rated for ddr3 ram, it cannot support ddr4. Buy the same exact ram that you already have if you want to make it easy. That said, if your current ram is garbo, then you're stuck with what you got.

So the summer steam sale is coming up in less than a month how likely is it PUBG to go on sale?

I could see it going on sale for 10% off or so. Nothing major but enough to promote it and get it highlighted on the front page of the store.

For anyone thinking about getting PUBG:


Is it like DayZ or Tarkov, but without the survival/scavenging bullshit, only pure action? One thing I hate about games like DayZ is that it takes hours of walking simulator to get decent gear, then you die and lose everything. Tarkov is a bit better in that sense, but only has predefined loot spawns, so everyone goes to and camps at the same spots. Also you need friends to achieve anything in Tarkov, alone you'll just get shot while looting.

There are no survival aspects, but there is scavenging. However it is very streamlined to the point where everyone spawns with no items and within the first 30 seconds basically everyone has at least something. There are weapons just laying around everywhere, with enough to go around that should you be near others you should be able to find something for yourself to use unless you're insanely unlucky. The way spawning works is everyone parachutes onto the map and every building starts with its door closed. So if you want to enter a house to loot some stuff but see the door open, you know someone beat you to it and you better look elsewhere.

Tl;dr: Tt's 99% action, 1% scavenging. Of course you may start off with a weaker weapon, in which case you can continue to scavenge throughout the whole game (and you probably should anyways, for ammo/med kits, etc.) until you're satisfied with what you have. It just isn't required as much as those other games since getting started takes no time. Also you can of course just loot dead bodies for easy gains.

It's a battle royale game, ~30 minute matches, everyone drops naked on an island, loots gear and weapons and then shoots eachother as the zone gets smaller and smaller. It's basically almost pure action.

I am currently playing Paladins, which is a F2P hero-based shooter very much "inspired" by Overwatch. Granted, if I had bought Overwatch after the open beta I probably would not be playing this at the moment. However, I have some sudden free time and I felt like playing a shooter, and I have been very pleasantly surprised. I expected a poor man's Overwatch, but the gameplay is very smooth and responsive, and some of the differences from Overwatch actually make it a much more enjoyable experience to me. There is no pay to win, only pay to unlock the heroes faster and pay for cosmetic stuff, but so far the in-game currency accrues faster than I can learn new heroes.

Every player spawns with a mount for transportation, so there is less walking time. Killing also takes a bit longer than in Overwatch, so overall there is a lot of combat time. There are roles like tank and support, but they are less specialized so there are no classes that do junk-tier damage. In Overwatch the support classes largely felt like a chore to me, but in Paladins I find all roles very interesting. Also, boring Mercy full team revives. There is no mid-game hero switching, instead there are card load-outs for each champion and within a game there are buyable items. With these you can adjust your playstyle or build reasonably well to account for the composition of the enemy team. These offer quite a lot of depth.

Now I haven't played enough or even with a full stack on voice chat to decisively judge the balance or the game design, but the game seems reasonably competitive, and I am having fun. It's worth a shot if you are too cheap for Overwatch, or are frustrated by it.

Get tekken 7 because team based games are for losers with skinny weiners. Also because its amazing if you like getting invested into something.

nah, I don´t fiddle around with overclocking, I´d probably break something with that
You're seriously screwing yourself over. It OCs to 4.4ghz easily and most mobos come with ready-made settings that you just have to press an arrow key and hit enter once to enable. Refusing to OC 3770K is like getting 200 dollar value out of your CPU when it could be 500 dollar value. It's a massive performance increase for practically no effort.

shouldn´t be that much of a prob if I mix up 2x ddr3 and 2x ddr4, nah?
That might not work, mixing RAM is never recommended, even if it's the same type and from the same manufacturer, always a dice roll whether it works or not. Even if it does work, RAM always works at the rate of the slowest stick you have, so your DDR4 would be DDR3.

I´m not an expert in OC but I´ve been avoiding it since a) it needs additional cooling and I don´t know if my current cooling system could handle it b) it heavily reduces the life expectancy of the  3770K (and if you overclock one part, doesn´t it have side effects on other parts of the system too?) c) the whole system might loose stability and that´s exactly what I don´t need when I´m working on my pc. After all,  the machine isn´t only for gaming, but also for working.

I´d have to read into the topic to make proper adjustments, but I currently don´t want to invest time into it. There´s a lot of other, more important stuff atm to be taken care of #baaa~

but I´ll keep it in mind, thank you

idk :? how's the PvP in FFXIV? I did sink about 200 hours into it when it was first released but only ever did PvE. Wouldn't mind wasting some time on an MMO actually, preferably something with fun PvP.

Finished Prey recently, wasn't too bad
GV needs that big update before I could look at it again
Lost interest in the Witcher 3.... don't bash me dudes
I'm not that keen on FPS games although I did enjoy Planetside 2 for a while, maybe just for the grind   :oops:
GV update is on, I posted link in GV thread.

So Steam summer sale starts today and unfortunately no PUBG sale  :( probably because its still EA title? But GMG sent a 27% off voucher for PUBG to my GMG account puttint at $22. Sad though if I get it from GMG and dont like it I am stuck with it. :cry:

And it still has all the same de-sync problems, one of the laggiest games I've ever played (and it has an Australian server so it's not just me  :P)

I've won a PuB game three times now out of a dozen or so mostly by map movement. The game is fun with friends but the movement and shooting feel awful.

Movement and shooting in PUBG are great. Smooth and just the right speed, no clunkiness like in ArmA/DayZ but not arcade either.

Path of Exile: Fall of Oriath is coming out soon. They are adding 6 new acts for a total of 10.

Difficulties will be removed for a single 10 act play-trough and then the endgame maps. So you wont have to slog trough same content 3 times.

Keep an eye out for the release, should be good
