PC Gaming ERA | October 2019 - No Truce With The Outer Worlds
- Thread starter Uzzy

I spent all weekend experiencing the glory of Gsync and >100fps gaming. It is truly glorious. Even had to ratchet up the sensitivity on games I used a controller with as the default setting for most titles is way too slow for such speedy rates.
Destiny 2 is just glorious on PC, I wanted to compare it to PS4 to see what gains HDR offers on my living room 4K. I hate to admit I was taken back at how awful it looked and played at 30fps in comparison. Just insane how wide the gap feels now.

Disco is for 39,99$ and Chernobylite is supposed to be for 29,99$. Chernobylite is going to be an Early Access game, though.
Great, thank you!
With The Outer Worlds releasing next week (next week!), we really need the introduction of the four-day working week while we're all still young enough to utilise it.
I must say that I am not that impressed with Destiny 2 visuals. I am playing it maxed out and even at 4K visuals are kinda average. Art Direction is good but environments can be mixed bags. It is noticable that some areas were done by different team (Beenox and High Moon Studios if I remember correctly).
Have you played it on consoles? Or maybe the first game on consoles?
I played D1 a lot and the improvements on PC for part 2 were impressive. (The first game ran like crap on PS4)
Don't want to search it because I am on mobile but Valve recommends no preorders for smaller titles. If you are an indie you most likely don't have the marketing budget of a game published by a big publisher and are much more reliant on other stuff. Like for example the Steam Topseller list.And if your purchases are scattered over the time when your game isn't even released then you are most likely not in the list when the popularity of your game should be/is at its height.
it has its flashes of brilliance but overall, even in 2017, its main strengths were the art, not the tech. i do think loading times have improved with shadowkeep too
Welcome to the ranks of the PC Master Race. Consoles are good for the convenience and exclusives (probably less of a concern this generation), but graphical eyecandies would always be the trump card of PC, provided we have good hardware of course.
eliminated for xbox, but i'd say there is a sizable amount of exclusive games on ps4 and switch that are worth buying the systems for...and i'm sure this will continue with ps5
Yea, off my mind my Horizon Zero Dawn, the God of War reboot and Bloodborne are definitely on my wishlist, but buying a console just for the few exclusives doesn't fit into my budget. I would rather channel the funds into a better graphics card. Guess it will be at least 2 decades from now before we see those games on PC, seeing that PS3 emulation is still in development. Have yet to try out PS Now, heard there may be latency issues with the service.
I'm interested in Disco but it's really going to come down to reviews/word-of-mouth - I admre their ambition but there's a lot of things that could go wrong.
It's basically an igavania in all but name. Great game.
I want that rogue like dungeon mode to play.
Yeah, I know. Though I do not really like playing games through Gamepass. Gives me this pressure that I have to play them because my subscription runs out and I need to play all the games I want. This is more paralyzing to me than looking atmy Steam library.
i signed up for that $2 for 2 months deal but i think just unsub until i'm ready to play a set of games..so like binging i guess. maybe when halo 6 comes out.
I played Destiny 1 Demo/Beta on PS4. It is an improvement for sure but for 2017 PC release is not that impressive. Game is still kinda linear experience and game could do better on technical level.
As I said above for mostly linear experience they could do it better. And don't mention loading, worst part of the game for sure XD It is not as bad as GTA Online but it is close XD
Since I increased my PC gaming in the past two weeks (with a comfy PS4 controller), I have a question regarding upgrades:
My current PC set up is:
Intel® Core™ i5-7400
GTX 1060 (3gb)
8 GB RAM
128 GB SSD
1 TB HDD
All current games are always on my SSD. I still can max out some (older) games, but yeah.. Is the GTX 1060 still good? Of course I'm probably light years away of being able to use raytracing, but is it like... still solid?
Also, I have one spot left to upgrade the RAM. Should I buy another 8 GB? Would there even be a good reason for going up to 16 GB while having a GTX 1060? Would games profit a lot from it? Thanks!

What do you mean by 1 spot? You have a MOBO with 2 ram slots and you only have one stick, or you have 4 slots with 3 taken coming out to 8?
Have they said when it'll go live for everyone? I looked around on Google but didn't see anything besides articles on how to opt in. I did stumble across this though:
Seeing that now I kind of miss it, lmao
Ack, it hurts to look at! :DHave they said when it'll go live for everyone? I looked around on Google but didn't see anything besides articles on how to opt in. I did stumble across this though:

And I have not seen anything about a date. Might be a "when it's done" thing. The updates we are getting are still both adding features people request and squashing some bigger bugs.

Just opt into the beta.
I have 2 ram slots and only one is used right now... I think. I will need to have a look later, but I'm pretty sure it's that way.
Then yes, a 2nd stick will be useful in pretty much all aspects. You should always dual channel RAM if you can. And it's not like it's something hard to install / migrate to a new system.
The only issue is you should ideally have 2 of the same stick, and depending on when you bought that original stick, it might be hard to find, and you might be better off just buying a new 16gb set.
Thanks guys. So it would be a solid upgrade, nice. And yes, yikes, because the stick was included back then. Thank you for the fast replies! Hope I find the same one at a good price, otherwise I will do as you recommended and buy a higher set at one go. Can't wait to game even better.

I still remember this theme! Good times.
I feel so old.
I think I'll likely pick it up regardless, as I love the idea and it reminds me of elements of other games that I just loved (Fallout 1/2, Planescape: Torment, etc.). It's just a matter of when, as I have so much on the go at the moment.

I miss this theme tbh
So I wanted to build a new pc but we sell a prebuilt at my work that has an AMD processor that is compatible to a 8th gen I5. Its about 700 plus I can get 25% off with our holiday bonus discount. How much longevity could I expect out of it?
You really oughta get the exact specs (at the very least the exact CPU, GPU, and how much RAM, and what type, DDR3 or 4) before anyone can really give an answer on that.
if it's compatible to an 8th gen I5 does that mean it doesn't have one in it currently?
but yeah as the other person said it would depend on what else is in it. If it doesn't have a video card and is just on board, and just has a cheap low speed 8gb stick of ram, and just a 500gb standard hard drive ect even at 25% off $700 you would be getting ripped off compared to what you could build for the same price.
For PC as well? Afterparty? I thought they said that it was only on Gamepass for XBOX, but I'm glad if I misunderstood it.
What does your favorites tab look like y'all?
Oh I don't have a favourites category, not even a custom one I made, but here are some screens of categories of mine with custom art
It's a Ryzen 5 3600. 8gb of DDR4 ram. Don't remember what the gpu was but I believe it was a 4gb card, which I would be replacing with my gtx1080 and I believe a 1tb drive.
and by compatible I meant comparable. sorry
