@daze23 did the Talos Principle textures and terminals look a little blurry to you? I'm on everything ultra, but maybe I missed an option. Or maybe it's supposed to look that way. I dunno :manny:

edit: I just watched a 1080p video, I think it's supposed to look like that :yeshrug:

I don't remember them looking "blurry". you sure you got your resolution right, and there's no scaling going on?

the textures look less than stellar, the terminal is just a bit blurry. I'll go back in a check my settings, but I think I got everything right

you need 6gb for ultra textures :troll:

nah, but for real, they're not the nicest textures, but I don't remember them being blurry

They're not blurry per se, they look good up close, I'm guessing I'm just used to higher res shyt. The terminals were a little blurry though, but I think that's intentional

After fukking around with the settings in the game my gpu clocks went out of sync. :wtf:

Luckily I fixed that shyt (I think). :whew:

I'm just gonna be happy with the settings as is and stop fukking around with shyt. I don't need these problems right now

Just play the damn game :damn:

:dead:

Everytime I post up in this thread you have some extraordinary issue going on.

I just fired up Baldurs Gate and now my CPU throttling setting in the BIOS is fukked up :wtf:

I JUST built this system last night :mindblown:

Edit:Okay something is really fukked up. I ran Prime95 for 96 hours and I got one error. No wonder Oregon Trail doesn't seem to stay above 144 FPS :mjcry:

I can't take these PC issues. It's been a bad year for PC brehs. :mjcry:

If these leaks are true, the 390x is looking to be the gpu to beat

Nvidia GM200 Titan 2, AMD Fiji 380X and Bermuda 390X Benchmarks Leaked
HardwareLeakRumor 14 hours ago by Khalid Moammer Tweet
Nvidia’s GM200 GPU / Titan 2 was benchmarked against AMD’s upcoming Fiji XT GPU / R9 380X and Bermuda XT / R9 390X courtesy of a new leak by chiphell. As usual take this with the handy grain of salt as there’s no way to confidently verify leaks such as this.

.
There’s really no way to tell for sure what Nvidia and AMD may call the products based on these GPUs in the future. So names such as Titan 2, R9 380X and R9 390X will only serve as place holders to help you identify the positioning of the graphics cards in question.

Nvidia GM200 / Titan 2 , AMD Fiji / R9 380X and Bermuda / R9 390X Benchmarked
Without any further delay let’s get into the contents of this new leak.

1- The author on Chiphell claims that both Fiji and Bermuda i.e R9 380X and R9 390X are manufactured on a 20nm process node by Globalfoundries. The author did not specify which process GM200 is built on however.

2- There are two versions of GM200, a cut down version with 21 SMM units amounting to 2688 CUDA cores and a fully unlocked “full fat” version with an unknown number of SMMs / CUDA cores.

3- Fiji XT will not be the flagship GPU from AMD, the flagship will be Bermuda XT.

4- The fully unlocked “full fat” GM200 is 34% faster than the GTX 980 according to the leaker. This puts it at roughly 2816-3072 CUDA cores assuming it’s slightly underclocked compared to the GTX 980.

5- Bermuda XT / R9 390X is 65% faster than the R9 290X / Hawaii XT and will feature a hybrid “Hydra” liquid cooling unit similar to the R9 295X2. This matches the previous leak by a Chinese source that we saw a few months back, which indicated that AMD will be using liquid cooling on a future single-GPU graphics card.

This brings us to the actual benchmarks. The author on Chiphell included benchmarking results that spanned 20 different games as well as power consumption figures under Battlefield 4 multiplayer.

From the above graph we can see that both the cut down GM200 GPU and the Fiji XT engineering sample are very close in terms of performance and power consumption. GM200 edges out Fiji XT / R9 380X slightly in performance while the 380X is slightly ahead in efficiency (perf/w). The sizable gains in efficiency by AMD may be attributed to the new 20nm process as well as the use of 3D stacked High Bandwidth Memory, called HBM for short. The new memory promises to consume half as much power as GDDR5 and perform nearly 9 times faster.

Unfortunately the author did not include power consumption figures for the “full fat” fully unlocked GM200 GPU nor for the Bermuda XT/ R9 390X but said that the power consumption for the latter was in an acceptable range. I’d expect that both Bermuda and the fully unlocked GM200 GPUs to hold the same sort of power efficiency figures as their smaller siblings the cut down GM200 and Fiji XT.

Above we can see both Bermuda XT / R9 390X and “full fat” GM200 / Titan II compared. Neither of the flagships outperform the R9 295X2 but they come close. The 390X edges out the Titan II in BF4 MP, CoD : AW and Watchdogs while showing a considerable lead in Dragon Age : Inquisition and Ryse : Son of Rome. The performance of both is quite astonishing. Providing a true next generation leap that puts them significantly ahead of anything out right now.

Considering that these are engineering samples the final products should perform even better with higher clock speeds and improved drivers. Especially if the R9 390X reference design ends up with a liquid cooling unit as the leaker suggests. I’d expect to see very impressive temperatures, acoustics and huge overclocking potential.

If the above performance numbers are anything to go by then we should see the following specs.
Bermuda XT / R9 390X : 70-74 compute units amounting to 4480-4736 GCN core
Fiji XT / R9 380X : 56-60 compute units amounting to 3584-3840 GCN core.

WCCFTech GCN/CUDA Cores Performance Relative to GTX 980
Bermuda XT / R9 390X 4480-4736 145%
GM200 “full fat” / Titan 2 2816-3072 134%
Cut Down GM200 / GTX 980 Ti ? 2688 123%
Fiji XT / R9 380X 3584-3840 117%
Lets just hope that AMD and Nvidia don’t keep us waiting too long for these phenomenal and most likely quite expensive GPUs.

Rumor has it that the 390x is water cooled too

@Ciggavelli you're gonna love this. The new Borderlands Pre-Sequel DLC is getting shytted on in the Steam reviews and Gearbox forums.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/289881/

Currently 29 Positive and 98 Negative. A lot of those positive reviews are actually mis-marked negative reviews, too.
They're saying that the $3 BL2 headhunter packs had more content than this $10 DLC :dead:

This DLC is also part 2 of the Season Pass. Part 1 was a new character (Handsome Jack Doppelganger). The third part of the Season Pass is supposed to be a new character, too. Only the fourth DLC in the $30 Season Pass is an actual story DLC :dead:

So lord Gaben has put Hatred back on steam...I am kinda surprised by this tbh
