yeh, im just loathe to buy them atm as DX12 is coming soon with Winblows 10 and Nvidia are working on DX12 cards too. So i will wait and see how the market plays out this summer. When ii do end up upgrading my Gpus i like to do it in such a way as to give me some longevity, and my dual 680s will see me through TW3 until that decision is defined by Nvdias progress on the Dx12 cards.

THAT is what i am also concerned with. I rather avoid upgrading just yet so i can get the dx12 card and rather now spend 30k INR on a card which will get obsolete very quickly.

 

OK looks like i was wrong DX12 is backwards compatible with all nvidia cards well recent ones any ways. So i think i will get the 970 by the time witcher 3 comes.

Yup, i may just add another Samung 512 SSD for the Os, currently have one for my games and Os on hdd, and wait it out.

I'm officially saltier than any BW fanboy in the world.

 

When I bought this game on steam it would barely run on my ATI 6600 so I went out and bought a fkn 970. I bought twin 4gb ram. I had to buy a new case for the fkn 970 to fit in my rig. I had to buy a new fan for the cpu. A new power supply for it all to work. Just so I could experience all this game had to offer, and boy did I get one hell of an 'experience'. Firstly, CTD, DX errors, dialogue errors, quest errors, followed by patch after patch of constantly fixing something and breaking something else, with the additional pleasure of having the initial BW employees who started the whole 'community feedback' disappear and instead gorge themselves on their much coveted, and paid for, GOTY accolades.

 

Now it's all but lost for any hope of any real fix for PC issues and playability, no sight of the DLC the players actually want, and very shortly you'll see Dragon Age: Revenge of Fenharel "IGN is calling it best hack 'n slash of the year!".

 

Enjoy your console playerbase BW, you've earned it.

Yup for 3 i think i need to get a  970 extremely good price vs performance on it. I do not think my 7950 3gb edition will survive witcher 3. AMD aint bad, before the 970 rolled along amd were hard to beat at price vs performance and they have improved their drivers quite a bit now. 

But at this point in time best card has to be 970 especially with its good price.

 

AMD performance isnt bad. Especially considering the 295x, its the best "in one" solution for 4k. Even 290X are better for 4K because of wider bus.

The problem with AMD/ATI is that the dies are too big and power hungry. 295x runs only with a custom closed liquid loop.

 

Even using the same manufacturing process (28nm), nvidia managed to cut power and die size and transistor count while increasing performance on Maxwell.

Maxwell is a true engineering marvel. Whenever nvidia/amd moves to 21nm or even 18nm you will see medium range boards running acceptable frame rates at 4K.

 

 

THAT is what i am also concerned with. I rather avoid upgrading just yet so i can get the dx12 card and rather now spend 30k INR on a card which will get obsolete very quickly.

 

OK looks like i was wrong DX12 is backwards compatible with all nvidia cards well recent ones any ways. So i think i will get the 970 by the time witcher 3 comes.

 

AFAIK maxwell is DX12 compatible. I believe current AMD will be too. Im not well familiar with DX12 implementation, but it would mostly required a compatible driver.

 

Also dont worry about DX12. Until last year developers were still releasing games with backward compatibility with DX9.

 

Mantis/DX12 are presumable lower level APIs that could or couldnt offer some performance benefit. From last releases on Mantis, performance wise it was not statistic relevant vs dX11. Mantis showed better performance when the CPU was the bottleneck, as Mantis cut some CPU work needed for DX11. Except the same for DX12.

The main problem we are going to face in playing upcoming games is the VRAM, so buying a new GPU with less than 6-8GB VRAM is something I would not recommend, which is why I'd wait until the AMD 300 series is released. The 970 is good, but at 4GBs it's just as useful for the future as a 3GB GPU. It's a good card unfortunately borked by too low VRAM. 

 

On the other hand, CDPR has always had better support for nvidia, so perhaps a 970 is a good buy for TW3. But I'd hate to be limited by 4GB VRAM on a new GPU. The 3GBs I currently have are enough for most things, but the writing is on the wall and the writing is: 6GBs please.

I've been out of this loop for a while - I have to preserve some sanity LOL  :D

 

Please tell me that all is now fine with DAI and I can load it up and all will be well? Patch 3 out?

I remember when I first booted up Dragon Age: Inquisition on my (not exactly wimpy) PC. The framerate was unexpectedly low, and there were stutters and crashes. Moreover, the controls were awkward as all get-out. Months later, some problems have been solved, but many still linger. PC players are getting fed up.
 
Over the course of the past few weeks, Kotaku's gotten numerous emails about what PC players find to be the sorry state of Dragon Age: Inquisition on their platform of choice. Moreover, there's a PC community concerns thread on BioWare's forums that spans nearly 500 pages. As you might expect from something that hundreds of people have dedicated thousands upon thousands of words to...

For those who wanna reinstall the game but don´t wanna be downloading the entire game again, here some steps made by a folk inthis thread:

 

 http://answers.ea.co...ll/td-p/4257554

 

1. Quit out of Origin.

2. Browse to your Origin Games directory (mine was C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games), and make a copy of the Dragon Age: Inquisition directory.

3. Start Origin and tell it to uninstall Dragon Age: Inquisition. (The original Dragon Age: Inquisition directory in your Origin Games directory should disappear, but you should still have your copy.)

4. Tell Origin to download and install Dragon Age: Inquisition.

5. Once the download begins, quit out of Origin.

6. Copy the contents of the copy you made of the original Dragon Age: Inquisition directory into the newly-created one in the Origin Games directory.

7. Start Origin again.

 

I´m gonna try this, delete the patch folder, and when Origin asks for an update i´ll go offlane, so i don´t get the patches. This could rollback changes, but not sure tbh. Is just theory for now, since i actually don´t know where is the real patch stuff. 

 

Btw, Origin is down atm. Not sure what´s happening, so don´t try it yet. 

 

No.  No.  This is just...no.  This crap is utterly ridiculous.  No one, and I mean NO ONE should have to jump through so many hoops to play a game that still may not be playable.  No!  Bad!  Do not give into these cheesy cop out, half baked solutions.  This is Bioware's screw up.  Do not give them an out.  Make them fix their game.  We should not have to pay for their screw ups.  (If the game was moddable, I mean like DAO where modders were able to work on it, I would not be so vocal.  But being it isn't, Bioware fixes it.  And fixes it right.)  No one person should have to butcher their system, roll back drivers, use four to forty different types of fixes to get one half assed done game to work.  Just no.

Cheers, i'l look into the dual GTX970s,not a fan of AMD, i won't touch them with someone else's.

Have a par of Powercolor PCS+OC R9 290's myself from overclockers.co.uk about the best of the R9 290's next to Sapphire's Vapor-X cards and they run flawlessly.However they consume a fair bit more power than 2 970's but with a EVGA Supernova G2 1300W PSU its not a issue for me,you'll probs be best going with the 970's though you'd be lucky to get 30FPS@4K 2560x1440 is more achieveable with that setup.which is what I'm going for

Two months later and three "patches" later this game is still a terrible console port. Bioware has lost all it's PC credentials in one fell swoop.

 

For great numbers these "patches" cause the game to get worse! Laughable!

 

I put patches in inverted commas because these are just five minute fixes...nothing resembling what I would define as a patch has yet been released. Something that radically addresses the shortcomings of this game on PC. DAI PC should be the Halo product! Something Bioware seem totally unable to grasp!

 

If I play any of your games in the future it will be at cut price in some sale...months after release with the hope that by then, the interminable patching etc. will have rendered something resembling playable.

 

This is what happens when mediocre managers get shut in a bubble world of political correctness and all sense of what is really important is lost in trying oh so hard to be a paragon of minority representation and sermonizing.

Pathetic effort!

 

The fact that this has GOTY is just a testament to how far the brown nosing goes in the so called review sites etc.

Check this for an article given the real state of this fiasco:

Metacritic user score is pretty much where this game is at...

 

Fail.

Why Hold is not working like the previous game. I just don't understand. Please fix it. Why I can't see a tooltip near my skills. Why I have to press P and find it there... Mouse over with a tooltip is too simple. Please change the ui for a better feel with a combo mouse and keyboard. Please add a Auto attack,better tac view.

:D I like how it says "change mechanics" instead fixing.

 

 

I kept saying since December, they should take a closer look at Jay Wilson case on Diablo 3.

 

Mark "Skyrim is big" Darrah should not work on any DA games. There is always hope, i think D3 was reborn when Jay left (or likely was told to leave) the boat. I regretted buying D3 but not its expansion, RoS, so DA is not necessarily dead. Yet. Still it would be EA making those games tough. It just seems impossible EA releases an actual rpg.

It really sucks to hate the franchise you loved very dearly. I have spent a lot of time on Origins and Skyrim and I still treasure it as the best gaming experience I have ever had. After DA:II's huge let down, I still had hope. The lore and the music kept me going. I hoped that Bioware would learn a lesson and get back to it's roots. I hoped DA:I would be going back to those roots. Instead, I got an extremely obvious console port with blatant lies "PC game for PC gamers" thrown at my face. 

 

This game is so hollow. While playing DA:O, I felt immersed in Thedas. I felt like I wanted to keep exploring on and on endlessly. In DA:I, I didn't feel the same. The main quest is rather short and cliched. The side quests are soulless.  The build up and the atmosphere is weak and boring. Don't even get me on the tactical mode. I still do not know it's true purpose..or does it even have any purpose? Even on consoles. It's simply button mashing like the shooters. I am into RPGs because they require thinking, not casual gaming. 

 

I loved DA:O for what it was, one of the greatest rpgs ever created. Sadly, I won't feel the same for DA:I. And really, this game is no where near the level of Skyrim even after 4 years. Bioware tried to go Skyrim but failed at it. This franchise has really lost it's identity. The reason why it was so unique. Yes I loved Skyrim because it was unique in it's own way. But in no way I wanted DA:O to go Skyrim ways.

 

After reading BWAmelia's post yesterday, I have no hope left for the franchise anymore, since the company now blames us for being rude while being completely ignorant of the condition of it's PC version. We pay you to play your games and not the opposite. I'll be moving on from this game soon enough. It is really sad that Bioware, who got to this point because of the PC games they made, is going console ways due to EA. 

 

Hopefully, Bethesda sticks to it's roots with TES: VI when they develop it, if they develop it. For now, I have high hopes for Witcher 3.

Oh I solved my concerns with this game.  Finished in 130ish hours around mid-Decemberish, gritted teeth and bore on through the glitches and mindless filler content, watched the forums for a month, saw no particularly compelling future for this game, and uninstalled it (and it's craptacular companion app, Origin).

 

One of the best decisions I've made lately.

yeeh, my cards are EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Classified 4GB, but i can see games now looking at needing 6gbs+vrams. Time will tell, come Sept/Oct 2015 we'll know whats required and whats old news.

 

That is a good question. I was asking my self if going i7 4790K was right, since Skylake is due this year with new socket. I was using an old i7 950 bloomfield. I must say im very satisfied, while i would prefer the Haswell-E, but this way was much more cheaper.  What im saying is if you are expecting something absolute future proof, damn, it will not work.

 

Currently 4GB Vram is enough even with bigger resolutions. It will probably change, but tech adoption is although slow, due to majority of games being held down because of multi plataform.

 

I usually skip one generation of GPUs, usually performance gain isnt much. My latest gpu was 7970, i would consider AMD, but since they didnt matched Nvidia it was time for a change. A single 980 is more than 2x7970, so it was a preferred setting.

 

 

Have a par of Powercolor PCS+OC R9 290's myself from overclockers.co.uk about the best of the R9 290's next to Sapphire's Vapor-X cards and they run flawlessly.However they consume a fair bit more power than 2 970's but with a EVGA Supernova G2 1300W PSU its not a issue for me,you'll probs be best going with the 970's though you'd be lucky to get 30FPS@4K 2560x1440 is more achieveable with that setup.which is what I'm going for 

 

Last time i had a CF was a 5970. That card was a behemot. I could feel the warm of the board on my room. While CF/SLI might be a good solution, and its going better and more efficient, i still hate it. So much driver issue, so much profile problems.

While Bioware is currently working on the upcoming patch for Dragon Age: Inquisition, the title’s executive producer has recently confirmed that the developer is also hoping to add larger new features to the game.
