"Tested at 3840x2160, with AA and high settings on a 3960X at 3.3GHz yielded above 40fps in Batman, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield 4, Far Cry3, Metro Last Light and Tomb Raider"

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.

[edit] @ , er, whoever was before Trooper

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.

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

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.

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

SHURRUPAYAFACE.

*Incoming awesome*

THE BEST DOOM GAME THAT ISN'T DOOM IS ON STEAM. In fact, it's better than Doom. In fact; as in "factualness".

But for some reason they've renamed it a bit. Actually it's renamed cause it's got all the DLC and shit probably. That gameBLOOD. Or to give it the name that they're selling it as ONE WHOLE UNIT BLOOD. Which is a crap name. Obv.

It has got:

Better level design than Doom.
A better shotgun than Doom.
Ian's Official Stamp of Awesome (non-refundable).

Now, if anyone buys this then I give you my solemn promise to play multiplayer with you because it has also got:

Kick-ass multiplayer maps including:
Football pitch.
Opposing castle map.

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?

I bloody loved it, by the way. Absolutely awesome game and I can understand why it got the praise it did. I think I managed to see 7 endings all being told.

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.

that was about the most exciting thing so far.

If you're expecting excitement then you're playing the wrong game. It's a darkly humourous take on mundane drudgery.

Well, any kind of story. Maybe I am early on, as there are hints about somehting in the daily paper.

John Walker reviews Mind: Path to Thalamus here.

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.

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?

Oh fuck me.

Sorry, can someone help me out again cause I'm a fucking knob.

I've just purchased STALKER: Cher Knob Hell on Steam. I've installed. I've clicked play.

Then my TV goes "Invalid format" and it won't display owt.

For fucks sake. Any ideas for fixing this sheeeeeet? I really wanted to play it.
