Can't even do the version of Shmoney Dance.

Welp...looks like I'm getting on that console wave again or attack my 200+ game backlog on steam

@ 6gb vram what the fukk are these nigas thinking?

I mean this shyt goes both ways (pause) with PC gamers. one minute they're complaining no game takes full advantage of their hardware. and then they're complaining when a game does take full advantage of existing hardware

6gb cards exist, and the game will scale down to cards with less vram, so I don't see the problem

Read the comments section....the staff says u need 4gb Vram to even RUN the fukkin game!..only 1% of steam users have a 4gb card by the way...

That’s not a direct answer… is it playable on 2GB cards? Even if only at low settings?

Talking with folks on the team, you can give it a go with 2 GB VRAM, but it’s definitely not recommended.

"give it a go"? what the fukk is that?

maybe he meant to say "pirate my game"

my thoughts exactly.

6gb of VRAM for a 1080p game?

4gb for a last gen game?

You don't see a problem with that?

It's lazy optimization again. The ps4 and xb1 don't need anywhere near those requirements.

It's about being reasonable. I want to take full advantage of my cards, but only if they are truly being used as intended, not as some crutch for lazy developers.

exactly..my problem isn't with new games utilizing certain shyt..but MANDATORY specs like this on a game that don't even look better than alotta last gen PC games is ridiculous...

exactly..the game aint pretty enough for this type of shyt...

yeah, i agree.

console games are created on PC's for fukks sake!
it's a sick, ironic state of affairs.

I'm not a programmer, but it's my understanding that it's pretty easy to eat up vram by using very large and/or uncompressed textures. those 'ultra' textures in Shadow of Mordor require a separate HD texture pack, and we'll probably find that they don't look that much better than 'high' anyway

it's just an option, and not a requirement, so I don't have a problem with it

4gb for a last gen game?

You don't see a problem with that?

yes, I do have a problem with The Evil Within and it's devs using weasel-words to avoid simple questions. but I'm also not too worried about it becoming a 'trend' because I don't think it will be successful. there's plenty of games out there being made by devs that actually do take PC gaming seriously

 

[Ciggavelli]

Gaming in 3 monitors, 1440p or 4k is pretty much over if this trend continues, and I'm afraid it may (thanks watch dogs).

Higher resolutions is probably the main reason I game on the pc. If they take that away from us, why not just play on a console?

This is a very troubling trend. We may not be able to catch up to next gen shyt for years.

The crying and fear going on here is entertaining, let it continue,

In other news I switched my physx card from the gtx 660 to a smaller 750 ti and gained 30 average fps and gained like 50 on minimum on the Batman Arkham Origins benchmark,

You aren't worried a bit? You game at 1440p

 

[2gunsup]

Nope. nikkas in here losing their minds

 

[winb83]

Hard8 makes me want a GTX 980 I'd need a 4K screen for it though. That Metro Last Light benchmark butchered his card. I saw FPS numbers dipping into the low single digits.
