Dishonored 1/2 and Prey are all made by the same devs (Arkane). look into SGSSAA if you're playing the first Dishonored. you'll need Nvidia Inspector, but it makes that game look great

not sure what's wrong with PUBG. does it happen every time?

edit: BTW Dishonored 2 is based on one of the first game's endings. the first game's DLC were also good, and play into this
so I just run nvidia inspector and then apply the profile for the game and then it's automatically enabled?

I've never shown my little humble build. Aside from all the shyt that has been talked about AMD..its a decent build that has performed great IMO. Even with a GTX 970.. I really don't see any bottlenecks...I got that itch tho..and want to upgrade to a stronger cpu (fx-6300 is the current). I might stay AMD

If you pair the 970 with a newer Ryzen or Intel and overclock it you'll be killing it @ 1080p and even get by at 1440p on alot of games.

basically. I have an old post about it in this thread:

the important things are:

-the "antialiasing compatibility" code (you can find them in that link)
-"antialiasing behavior" set to "none"
-"antialiasing mode" set to "override"
-"antialiasing setting" set to 2, 4, or 8x multisampling
-"antialiasing transparency supersampling" set to "sparse grid.." with the same multiplier (2, 4, 8) used in the above multisampling
-"LOD Bias" is important and depends on the multiplier. use -1.0 for 4x, and -1.5 for 8x. not sure about 2x

those "anisotcropic filter" settings have nothing to do with this. but in general I like to use nvidia's over ingame

just remember that this is very performance heavy. so it's best in games where you have a lot of performance overhead

never seen a Hyper 212 installed like that :patrice:

shouldn't it be rotated 90° counter-clockwise, so the fan pushes air through it towards the rear output fan

Correct.. but I had some difficulties (I dont even remember why) installing it as it should have been. Luckily I haven't had any problems with temperature.

Anyone mess with DisplayFusion? It's on sale on Steam and I was wondering if it was a good multi monitor program.
