At least on Twitter they cannot silence me :-)
They ignore me, but still feel nice to give them a hard kick in the ass :-)

 

It's ok.

 

They would ignore you on every other medium as well so at least they are consistent.

Nope none oh the above :-)

I hope you don't hit me...but you're really bad at links. *duck & cover*

[MatrixGirl]

GODzilla
That is because I am on my mobile device :-)
It is the one where she is standing in a snowy background with black leather on her arm and a quiver of arrow on her back :-)
And BTW your links do not work either :-)

[GODzilla]

Ah, the perils of linking / posting through a mobile device. Now I see why we both have trouble with this.

 

My links ALWAYS work lol. Kidding. You could try them later on PC.

 

BTW: I so wish Leliana was still a more "active" character in DAI. She was awesome in DAO. Naturally I got the trailer-armor-mod just for her. My elven archer could've worn it, too. But this is her special armor. ^^

GODzilla
Yes we kind of get attached to our favourite NPC :-)
Or our main character:-)
You want to feel like a hero, but DAI they make you feel like a looser :-)
But maybe in a year from now I will download it and play it :-)
But first TW1 TW2 and TW3 that I preordered btw :-)
And I will also replay DAO and DA2 and Deus Ex Human Revolution:-)

BTW my dealer cannot get a Titan in so I ordered a Nvidia Styx ASUS GTX970 for now.
This card has a booster on it so I clocks an extra 110Mhz when it needs it :-)
You can see it on Amazon. If I like the card I will put a second one in my machine in SLI :-)
But for the extra 50 dollars the Asus Stix GTX970 is worth it :-)

[MatrixGirl]

GODzilla
And it also has Gsynch on it :-)

[GODzilla]

Oh...you...missed the latest controversy about the GTX 970 series I assume?

 

Nvidia played a few tricks on the stats on these cards. They now claim it was an accidental misinformation. Thing is this:

 

The card has 4GB of video memory, but only 3,5GB can be used via the 224bit connection to the gpu. The other 512MB care connected via a 32bit connection. No typo there, 32bit. This is mediaval stuff and results in a huge performance drop. While stuff can be loaded with a speed of 196GB/s into the 3,5GB VRam it slows to a crawl of 28GB/s for the remaining 512MB.

 

This results in severe stutter once the last batch of memory is actually used. Some even report instability or outright crashes when that happens. Some retailers already offer refunds to their customers because of this mess.

There's probably MUCH more when you search on google. Users are very, very pissed right now and I can't blame them.

[MatrixGirl]

GODzilla
I will read that :-)
If that is a problem, then I will put a Asus GTX980 and than put a second one down the road :-)
Thanks for telling me that :-)
But the Stix is supposed to have fixed that issue hence why it is close to 100 dollars more than the normal GTX970 :-)

[GODzilla]

Yeah, the GTX 980 is the better choice, but unfortunately it's a bit on the pricey side. Two-thirds more expensive but not two-thirds quicker. Plus it would be a bit of a gambit with my current psu, I should upgrade that, too. All in all more money than I'm willing to invest. I wanted to get a GTX 970 and now this.

 

PS: The problem is within the core technology, it can't be fixed, especially not via a new BIOS or a new driver. What's more is that the ASUS Styx should not be a 100 dollar more than any GTX 970. It should be one of the more reasonably priced actually.

 

Don't get this thw wrong way, but it seems to me your retailer is trying to trick you somehow.

[MatrixGirl]

GODzilla
But the Asus GTX Strix970 does not suffer from those issues :-)
Asus makes amazing stuff :-)
So I will do more research on this topic :-)

[MatrixGirl]

Well I have a 1.2KW PSU, so lots of power there :-)
But you have to remember that Asus only buys the GPU and they build their own card around it :-)
Maybe why it is 100 dollars more than the normal Nvidia GTX970 :-)
And reading your article it is Nvidia that has an issue with their bad design :-)
Not Asus :-)

[GODzilla]

Yes, do that. ^^

 

/edit: The problem is within the GPU itself. ASUS can do nothing about it. They did not modify the chip, nobody ever did. They can design their card more or less to their own desire, that is right. But core chip is all Nvidia and those that were used for the GTX 970 do suffer from this problem. All of them with no exception.

 

If you wanna know more about the details: The "Maxwell" graphic chip normally has 2048kb of level 2 cache. This is the case for those "Maxwell" chips that were used for the GTA 980 cards. The ones used in the GTX 970 cards though have a smaller cache of only 17xxkb. Because of the missing cache, less graphic memory (VRam) can be adressed and thus the last 512MB of Vram suffer from this huge performance drop.

 

Read up on it, but it's already all over the internet and the facts do pretty much "talk for themselves" so to speak. Nvidia fucked it up. -.-

[MatrixGirl]

Just checked the Nvidia forum :-)
And the Asus strix does not suffer from this issue :-)
The card show full 4gig :-)
So the true blue Nvidia 970 is the one with the problem :-)

[GODzilla]

Okay, good luck with the card then.

 

In a few weeks I will have to decide whether I get one of these and risk it or not. Since there are really no alternatives though...

[MatrixGirl]

But that is one person saying the Stix does not have this issue :-)
So I will hold up and put in an Asus GTX980 instead:-)
I will bite the bullet and go big or stay home :-)
Thanks for telling me about that, and they also say the GTX970 has issues with 4K monitors :-)
So GTX980 for me I guess :-)
Or wait for Nvidia to fix the 970 chip issue :-)

[GODzilla]

I really do hope they fix it. Maybe a GTX 970 Ti as a reworked design. They're currently stonewalling the issue. Isn't it funny...there we have two totally different companies. Software and Hardware. Both screw up and both try to weasel their way out, telling BS to their customers and stuff.

Guys will the Witcher run on ultra, or a little less, with these:

 

               Intel 3.40 G Hz, i7 4770

               770 GTX made for gamers or sth, 2 Gb

               8 GB of RAM

               Windows 8.1

 

I'm exceeding recommended if I'm correct and was able to run our beloved DAI on ultra (everything maxed out) not fade touched. don't know about FPS and such.

 

I would rather not go through the hassle and expense of changing rigs so any advice is appreciated.

Clarity/completeness

[GODzilla]

I read somewhere that the GTX 770 is good enough for 30fps on the high or highest settings. Not sure though. If I had a GTX 770 I wouldn't worry too much I guess. But I'm pretty sure my GTX 760 will struggle. That's why I planned to get a GTX 970...before this mess happened. -.-

[MatrixGirl]

Well problem fixed :-)
Will get the 980 :-)
Yes more money, but worth it :-)
They will eventually fix the 970 :-)
Cannot trust any companies anymore :-(
Guess we are a bunch of beta testers now :-)
But I am happy you told me that :-)
Maybe this is why the 970 has issues with 4k monitors :-)

Thank you! I changed rigs specifically for the Witcher 3, like 1 year and a half ago, before it was delayed, so...we'll see if my local PC dealer knew what he was talking about.

 

Shouldn't I get another 8 GB ram at least?

[Essorance]

The irony is I bought the 970 just to play DAI (Was on a 6600 before!).

[MatrixGirl]

Ashen
I have similar machine and my card is a GTX 570 and all cranked up I am getting 150 to 200fPS
So you are going to have no problems :-)
I am running everything to ultra and 16x so cranked up could not go any further:-)
You are in the clear :-)
