They're letterboxing you at 1200p? :smh:

i take back what i said, it seems you can mess with the settings of the fixmod and set it to any resolution you want (16:9 or 16:10)

it crashed on me when i tried 7680x4800 (16:10 8k res) haha

Amazon has some of the evga one's but they are overpriced...

I never see the 970's or 980's available on new egg...

I had said I was going to cop some titan blacks next year but i think i will hold out for the 8gb 980's...

the 4 gb 980's are hilariously efficient as it pertains to power...nvidia does it again
I want an MSI or a Gigabyte. I'm leaning towards MSI.

I am strictly playing it just for the sake of the graphics and framerate but even then this shyt is buggy. I'm downsampling from 4K to 1080P and the framerate is just all over the place 30-60fps. One minute it's buttery smooth and then it drops.
Did you enable VSYNC? It'll help stabilize the framerate

I'm just mad they gave us this instead of FFIX :mjcry: I just want FF9 :sadbron:

I tried all of that. It doesn't seem to work. The biggest issue thus far is the fukking controller. I can't use the 360 gamepad because as soon as I plug it in the cursor starts moving by itself thus making it impossible to control.
