welp...gonna have some questions for you guys tomorrow before i run this SSD shyt.

go easy on me.
it's pretty simple. backup anything important. you also need to have at least 10% of the SSD 'free'

install the program and run it. first it will install the new firmware (real quick), and then need to shut down (full power-off shut down). then when windows starts back up, the program will restart automatically and get back to work. the last steps take some time, as it basically re-writes your whole drive. then it's done and (hopefully) you're good to go

The posters on the user forums on Steam are funny sometimes. :laugh:
yup... I want my money back. on chapter 2 and already getting ill from this stupid lag effect they throw at you.. I hate this game.


edit, I just for the first time EVEr have been made so dizzy I threw up... I have requested a refund that I can put to better use on a better game.
:heh: It's not that damn bad.

For real though this game(The Evil Within) is nice but all these fixes and configuration you have to do to get an experience that should be configurable in game by default is annoying. On top of that, the fixes aren't without issues of its own. Removing the black bars and raising the FOV breaks the zoom on the sniper rifle and some button prompts I heard doesn't appear. :snoop:

Now you know how it feels to be on 3 monitors. These are the things I don't discuss here. But they are a constant problem that thankfully Hayden fixes rather quickly (I even donated to him, considering how much he's helped the community)

I had a 3 monitor setup and might actually look into that again, but I only did my gaming on the middle monitor.

The 6gb 780 didn't drop until like a year after the og came out. You might be waiting on those 8gb for a while, if history repeats itself.

I don't think I'm about that 3 monitor life.

Its a hard and expensive undertaking. I think it's worth it, and others that have it like it too. You just gotta be used to fiddling around with shyt. It's 1000% better than it used to be, thanks to Hayden's hacking tool, but games still routinely fukk up little shyt. It can get annoying as hell. :mjcry:

yeah, but I think the 4gb versions of the 2gb cards didn't take long. they could 'reserve' 8gb for 'big maxwell', kinda like how the Titan was the only 6gb card for awhile. but who knows really...

Yeah, it's really all up in the air. shyt, amd could come up with an 8gb card come January that is better than the 980/970. Then nvidia will respond.

It's way too early right now though. The cards just came out and are still sold out at a lot of places.

I'm curious to see what amd brings to the table.
