40fps on high settings eh? Gosh, how impressive.


That's a pretty ridiculous resolution to be fair.

True, but they are claiming it is a 4k gaming graphics card. I don't think it is yet...

It's 4K. You can tell because neither of the numbers is 4,000.

If 3840x2160 is a 4K resolution (I genuinely don't know, though Grim seems to think so) and 40FPS/High settings are an acceptable way to experience games then surely they're the best kind of correct? And certainly for the latter question a mass of XBOX 360/PS3 gamers would seem to be evidence that the answer is, "Yes."

They are the best kind of correct. It is acceptable performance, but for £2.4k i'd want a bit more than acceptable! :D

Apparently, for some reason, when deciding if something is '4K' or not you look at the vertical resolution rather than the horizontal resolution you would for checking 720/1080p; and 3840 is close enough to 4000 than it gets a pass it seems. You probably know all this already but I've never read up on it before.

720 and 1080 are measured vertically, 4k is measured horizontally. 3840 is the "consumer grade" resolution for 4K, whatever that means.

3840x2160 has twice as many pixels in each direction as 1080p, so four times as many pixels overall. Shoulda called it "4x".

You can now spend £2000 on a graphics card. Madness

Not at all if you're doing pro level GPU compute and need to cram as many FLOPs as possible in. This isn't really a great gaming card, as Anandtech notes, because it's much more expensive and slightly slower than SLI Titans:

Quote:
A big part of how GTX Titan Z is going to be used will in turn depend on who the buyer is. NVIDIA’s compute group is pushing GTX Titan Z as the ultimate compute card at the same time as their gaming group is pushing it as the ultimate gaming card, and like NVIDIA’s other Titan cards this product will be serving two masters. That said it’s clear from NVIDIA’s presentations and discussions with the company that they intend it to be a compute product first and foremost (a fate similar to GTX Titan Black), in which case this is going to be the single most powerful CUDA card NVIDIA has ever released. NVIDIA’s Kepler compute products have been received very well by buyers so far, including the previous Titan cards, so there’s ample evidence that this will continue with GTX Titan Z. At the end of the day the roughly 2.66 TFLOPS of double precision performance on a single card (more than some low-end supercomputers, we hear) is going to be a big deal, especially for users invested in NVIDIA’s CUDA ecosystem.

Gaming on the other hand looks to be murkier. Certainly GTX Titan Z can and will be used as a gaming card (expect to see this one popular in high-end boutique systems), but NVIDIA faces extremely stiff competition from AMD’s recently released Radeon R9 295X2, which at $1500 retails for half the price of GTX Titan Z. Given GTX Titan Z’s sub-Titan Black clockspeeds and higher price, NVIDIA faces an uphill battle here on price and performance, and it makes a lot of sense in light of this why GTX Titan Z is first and foremost a compute card. None the less, with NVIDIA controlling around 2/3rds of the discrete GPU market and GTX Titan Z consuming around 25% less power (on paper), we certainly expect it to appear in gaming systems, especially in builds where price is no object and two cards can be installed.

4K was originally 4096x2160, which is a broadcast video standard that succeeded the 2K 2048x1080 one. But those are 1.9:1 aspect ratio, a little wider than the consumer 16:9 standard. So just as 2048x1080 was mapped to 1920x1080, so 4K is being mapped to 3840x2160.

That last resolution isn't supposed to be called 4K; it's technically "Ultra HD" or UHD. But the 4K name came over from the broadcast standard and stuck, so now manufacturers are also using it in their marketing, and we'll be stuck with it forever.

I still think 4K on TVs is going to flop, BTW.

And how much for the slice of classic? Less than £4. I know, right? A-Maze. Mind you, it's donkeys years old. It's funnier than Duke Nukem too.

Say it with me "We want Jojo, Jojo, JOJO".


Your post made me want to buy Blood, but more importantly make it the #post3603471" class="postlink">official classic game for the next X weeks on another forum. However I've only just seen your promise to play multi-player. It doesn't look like the Steam or gog versions have any updating, so doing so involves fucking about with vpns/lans/Hamatchi or something?

A rival forum! Destroy them with our glaring!

I'm sorry I can't help you with the multiplayer question not least because I don't know what vpns is, lan is my real world name and Hamatchi sounds like Tekken guys brother. I'm not hot on that PC stuff.

There seems to be some love for BLOOD on your forum though. I've barely played any game through to completion ever but I've done BLOOD twice. The level design falls off a bit later in the game with some generic castles and dungeons but I've dying to find out what I remember. Ok, dammit, I'm getting it and I'm in. If anyone figures out how to do the multiplayer then ping me a message and I'll follow instructions at a time of your choosing!

Really sorry to do this:

I'm on day 6. Not a lot seems to happen. Does it change much at all, or is there something I'm missing? I let a people traffiker in, even though a lass had given me a note naming him, but that was about the most exciting thing so far.

To be fair, it does start off quite slow. You'll be learning how to stamp, what to look for and where you'll place your rule book on screen so you can flick about checking states and symbols and stuff. Then you get into the swing of things, you'll do everything quicker and you'll curse the little fuck ups you make because you forgot to check something. Then someone will sneak through and turn it upside down. You'll come back the following day and find a drawing your little boy has done and proudly display it on the wall. You'll smirk as you send off another scumbag trying to sneak past your attentive ways. You're awesome. You got this. You'll befriend a guard and sort out a sneaky deal whereby you get a few extra pennies on the side. Maybe you'll get good and move your family to better digs. Your boy will get his medicine. Maybe you'll be a terrible border guard. Maybe you can barely scrap together two pennies. You'll never get that medicine for your sick boy. Maybe some red tape cunt will admonish you for that pathetic crayon drawing on your wall. Maybe you take a bribe here and there to make sure the heating stays on. Perhaps you put your family at risk and make a deal to cross the border for a fat wad and live in exile. Maybe you feel sorry for the dancers and try and protect them. Maybe you don't. Perhaps something bad happens and you're, in your small part, to blame. Maybe you help a couple of people you feel sorry for here and there. Maybe your friend dies because you're sloppy. Maybe you're vigorous and expedient. Maybe you ignore the outside world and concentrate on your work. Maybe your boss tells you to do something that goes against everything you stand for: doing your job. You might tell him to shove it up his arse. Maybe you do it. Just this once. Never again.

Maybe.

It's brilliant.

Yes, you're essentially playing the tutorial for the first few days. It goes on for more than 30.

Browsing Steam I noticed a tag of 'Walking Simulator' on one of the game so I looked at what else had been tagged with that and found some potentially decent sounding indie oddities for my wishlist:

Dex is still in 'early access' on Steam so obviously I'm not even thinking about giving them any money now, but from that article it's got bags of potential as a 2D Deus Ex if they balance the various combat options properly. One to add to the wishlist and keep an eye on.

We have a CADD group at work who asked us for test GPU system

So we built a PC from scratch using custom parts, it has 4 Titans in it

I went and asked them if the were interested in these new cards, thinking there would be time to "evaluate one" as they run this system on Linux and we had to have it run Windows 7 for 2 months to iron out issues with the cards that are just easier on that OS.

Sadly they didn't bite as the software is licensed per GPU so doubling the up cards would mean twice the license cost and they had no budget.

I've not read a word of text in the article, but dang if that don't look purdy.

steam, humble bundle.

I'd read nothing about this game, and just bought it on a whim based on the premise of it being a turn based stealth em up.

I think it's great! It's hard, but lots of fun. It's also 'early access', but I haven't played enough yet to quantify how unfinished it feels. Initial impression are that it's a complete game.

Had a 30 minute play last night, and just finished having a second dabble at Lunch whilst at work. I died multiple times today, but on that last run I did two mission in succession and even rescued a new agent who apparently comes with a free rifle! Bonus.

The video on the Steam page make it sound a lot like the recent, and lovely looking, Hitman game for iOS/Android which, coincidentally, is also on sale at the moment.

The latest Indie Gala bundles includes two games I'm very interested in: Lily Looking Through and Lifeless Planet. Together they'd cost about £22 but you can pay what you want. Lily Looking Through I'm less convinced by to be fair but Lifeless Planet looks awesome:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014- ... net-review

The full list of games in the bundle is:

  • Voyager
  • Porradaria Upgrade
  • Fester Mudd
  • Curse of the Gold - Ep. 1
  • Truffle Saga
  • Pixel Puzzles Japan
  • Lilly Looking Through
  • Lifeless Planet
  • Leisure Suit Larry
  • Reloaded
  • Cold War
  • Us and Them
  • R.I.P.D.
  • The Game
  • Racer 8
  • Shiny The Firefly

There may be other decent stuff in that list so I need to do a trawl tomorrow.

It isn't anything like Hunter as far as I've read. It's been categorised along the likes of Dear Ester in that it's a quiet walk along a linear path but with the odd fiddly puzzle thrown in. I'll let Bamba dip his toe first!

I just had to look up whether it had a story or anything. Apparently there were 3 game modes and none of them involved trying to find a bicycle to zoom about on. Apparently I'd invented that game mode and yet it as the only way I knew how to play. Tch. Memories...

I've read this post three times through and am still none the wiser. Whatever you're talking about sounds awesome though so I'm interested in a fuller explanation?

Hunter was a game where you had to do missions (explode tank, destroy x) in an open world. There were lots of vehicles including a windsurf board and a bike. It was pretty fun but cars ran out of fuel.

I loved Hunter. I just felt so lonely wandering around. In a good way.

So I'm looking through the humble bundle week sales thing and I watch a video for Door Kickers which is apparently *spits* early access. Then I watch this guy (youtube link herewith) playing it (for about 8 minutes - the bloody thing is 22 minutes long) and he appears to be enjoying himself so much that I now want it. He's playing the Alpha but it's apparently now in the BETA Stage (this is a link to the trailer on youtube by the way).

Also, that guy's voice did not make me want to instantly slice two of my fingers off and glue the severed digits into my ear holes. Which was nice.

Wasteland 2 is all up in my Steam account's face.

I watched the trailer and I liked the bit with rows of hanging bodies which looked creepy, but is it any good and would I like it? TELL ME NOW.

I've only gone and bloody done it. Copied files, replaced stuff, did some notepadding, and even installed a mod. Truly I am a PC gamer now.
