Fucking AA2, its either you run it at max settings or don't. Thanks illusion
>>343056395
I'm assuming this is because the game is CPU dependant.
This shit happens to me all the time and it's so frustrating, it goes the other way too.
For some games I can turn the resolution up to 8k (downsampled) and get zero difference in FPS, but in other games I bump the resolution up to my native (1440p) and it drops from like 140fps to like 50.
What the fuck.

I can be interested in a video game but not enough to buy an entire console and find a disc for it anon.
>>343058321
It's because on some settings like shadows it starts using your gpu instead of cpu when you put it on max.
>>343058206
Then why not watch an actual movie, tv show, anime or cartoon?

Man a lot of these problems would be fixed by DX12 since it can offload a lot of cpu heavy things to the GPU.
Good thing microsoft made that windows 10 only so that no publishers will agree to make full use of it and cut off the win8 and win7 markets.

How does unlimited FPS and the PC dying even make sense? Why does it happen? You'd think that it would regulate itself at some point but no it goes full cardiovascular suicide mode.
>>343058663
You can't say something like that and not dropping the name.
>>343058663
I need to know what game does this.
>>343058673
The only regulation computer part have is a thermal one. As long as you don't go over a certain temperature or restrict the max framerate it'll dish out as much as it can.
>Loading bar goes up to 90% instantly
>Takes 5 minutes on the last 10%
What's even the fucking point of the bar?
>>343058673
>You'd think that it would regulate itself
That's what competent V Sync is for. If you have a 60hz monitor you absolutely have no need for 4000fps and decreased component lifetime.
>>343058823
If you are playing shooters, having higher FPS even though your monitor can't support it is still better.
>>343057773

>>343058814
>>343058976
questions I've been asking myself since the dawn of time
>>343058935
The only thing you get out of having a framerate higher than your monitor's with no V-sync is screen stearing, unless your framerate is an exact multiple of your refresh rate all the time.
>>343058814
>>343058976
>It goes over 100%
>>343059054
Try it out yourself, it feels much more responsive to have 300 fps over 60 fps, even if your monitor is 60hz

>Game performs worse with each new update
>>343058227
This
How do the Japanese manage to make a game run better when you Ubersample it?
>>343059054
The game will still operate at a higher framerate, you just won't see all the frames it's calculating.
>>343059121
It's a placebo effect. Your monitor isn't able to show a difference, so why would there be one?
>>343059131

Ask Visceral
>>343059357
Oh, I see. Yeah, it makes sense, although I'm not entirely wrong.
Basically you'll still get screen tearing, but one of the images composing your screen will be more recent if you're at a higher refresh rate.
I get it. I don't think it's so good though, you'll still get a fucked image.
>>343059224
Actually it isn't, you do still reap the effects of a lowered input latency if you play at a framerate higher than the refresh rate of your monitor, however there is no visual effect, that requires the framerate and refresh rate to match.
>>343058281

>>343058823
Although I completely agree with your point, when I put on thr v-sync on overwatch, even if it runs at a steady 60 fps, there's a delay in the inputs.
Why blizzard do this?
>>343060470
Input lag is an inherent downside of Vsync.
>>343058382

Any game that goes fast is much more enjoyable at 144 fps.
For example: racing games, arena shooters.
I don't thinks there's 144 fps porn. Not even 120 fps.

some games that never get translated can be enjoyed through a translated Let's Play
There are some games that are genuine shit in regards to gameplay, but have an interesting plotline or atmosphere. Like Drakengard or NieR.
Speedruns or special challenges can make it very interesting. Like playing Super Mario 64 with the least amount of A presses possible.

Some games (shitty ones) offset some things normally rendered by a GPU to the CPU when you choose a lower graphics setting
Which also leads to the game running like shit because most people have a great GPU but a shit CPU in the first place, or the game doesn't work with extra cores so having a great CPU is pointlessFucking Arma

Because the computer is essentially filling out a checklist.

The base engine ARMA uses is fucking years old and building one from scratch takes serious effort (and licensing one would effectively mean starting from scratch as well) so you are fucked.
Remember that ARMA III is still basically running off the engine that powered the first game which is now over a decade old.

I can't even have shadows on when playing WoW without the game turning into a Powerpoint presentation. Why do shadows eat up so much processing power?
>>343084303
Bethesda games murder cpus because the base engine they use is still a million years old, despite what they may have claimed about FO4.
>>343084896
Why is it that every new GPU and every new cutting-edge-graphics game focuses almost exclusively on showing off lighting and shadows? I think, from a programming perspective, it must be really goddamn hard to do and they still haven't gotten it to work right. Never mind that it's looked the same to the end user for like ten years.
>>343084896
Shadows - especially for open world games - are often rendered even when off screen because of their effect on other objects that are within them and potentially on screen.
>>343085109
Moving shadows to gpu (as opposed to cpu) is a good thing as gpus are much, much better at the job.

I built a super computer, the game still has it's moments of lag. The games are beautiful (for each respective generation) but will have their moments on any computer. It would be really cool if someone would be able to downgrade graphics for people who can't run it well (like I used to) because I know how frustrating it can be.
>>343087028
Gameplay for Outside is incredibly repetitive and bland though. Graphics do not make a good game.

>>343089006
Why do modern games smear all kinds of shit over the screen?
It looks like garbage.
Also fuck FXAA and TAA
>>343089246
No, you're just a spoiled child who splurged on an unnecessary and overpriced piece of technology
>Multiple graphical settings are merged in one option
Fuck off MGS5, I just want to remove your piece of shit FXAA.
>>343089442
Why do games even bother to implement FXAA or TAA?
Id rather have slight aliasing than a completely blurry game.
>>343089547
It's so they can say "look guys, we have AA too! :^)".
Thank fuck you can force MSAA most of the time through drivers.
>>343059224
It's not placeboo
There is no visual differece of 300fps at 60hz
However you will get low input lag regardless of refresh rate.
>>343059131

>>343089435
Video games as a whole are unnecessary. That doesn't mean you can't want a better experience out of them.
>>343089708
Forcing MSAA doesnt work most of the time from my experience.
But forcing SMAA using reshade works well, doesnt take a lot of performance and looks decent.
>>343089906
Yeah, Ambient occlusion is pretty good
>>343090008
SMAA is nice, though my favorite post-process AA is CMAA.
Too bad I haven't found it outside of ArmA and Codemasters games.

Nigga that shit ain't gonna keep up with inflation no matter where you save.
Is there a game that's more fucked than this one?
>>343058098
Either because I want to know where annoying to find secrets or items are, or because the player is charismatic and provides funny/entertaining commentary.
Not all types of games lend themselves to LPs though. Some are boring as shit no matter how funny the commenter is.
>>343090270
This is from the pre war intro of the game.
It was chosen for the sake of consistency and shows releatively well how good the cpus perform when compared to each other, but in the actual game, performance is much lower.

CMAA isnt really effective. But its nice if you have a low end PC.
>>343090008
>>343089708
MSAA doesn't catch everything in most modern games anyway due to deferred shading. The "best" AA method (and most performance iontensive) is straight up supersampling.
>>343090445
Even if overall performance is lower the delta between the various chips shouldn't change too dramatically.

the problem is, you can't just turn up the settings to offload to the GPU, it ALWAYS runs badly

You'll see your inputs reflected faster on the screen because the updates are more frequent, aka less input lag.
You'll also have tearing most of the time.

Wasn't that, I always had overheating problems on that laptop so I had it cleaned and repasted often, and I checked the temps.
Also the FPS would slowly become worse with playtime, as if there was a memory leak. Never happened before and I still have no idea what caused that.

Lowering your settings in arma 2 will significantly increase the load on your CPU. That means if you have a good GPU higher settings will increase your fps.
Also Clouds, PIP & HDR are ressource eaters and should be on low/disabled.

welcome to the 90's and early 2000's
I used to use a trial version of a russian speed hacker back in 2003 that had its usage tied to the computer clock. Whenever the trial would end, I would just reset my time back a month. The computer clock would also count minutes in seconds and basically screwed up a lot of shit.
But damn, it was really fun to cheat in shitty MMO's and online games. Shame most of those hacking sites were seedy as shit and dont exist anymore.

Worship Satan, it's fun and he's actually God.
And he allows for buttsecs.
Because his commandments are others and he is truly loving.

That's understandable. 60fps can get uncomfortable to stare at after a while. Movements look smoother than real life because there's no natural motion blur (which is something no game has gotten right, motion blur is always off for me just because it's ugly)

It's just so minimal, and if it's 30 vs 60, the difference is PURELY aesthetic. You can play a game in 30 just as well as in 60, unless it's EXTREMELY fast-paced.

It doesn't matter enough to be listed as a con in a review.
>>343103846
It is, aesthetically, very noticeable. But it does pretty much nothing for the overall experience of the game for me.

>>343103846
The difference is there, but I guess I just prefer the less smoother experience.
I can understand that most people don't, but I can't understand the rising uproar every time a game isn't capable of 60fps.
Unless it's an age thing; I've spent most of my life playing at 30 fps, so I couldn't care less now.
>>343104417
I've spent most of my life playing on consoles so I don't have a lot of trouble tolerating 30 fps, but in an interactive medium like video games I don't see why you wouldn't want your games to be as responsive as possible.
I wonder how you would react to playing on a 144Hz screen.
DoWII on my old shitty laptop. Though since then after getting a great PC, I've realised the game isn't particularly good anyway.

You can force any source engine game to run windowed borderless at your native resolution through startup commands.

The point is it resets automatically after a few seconds so you're not fucked if you picked the wrong resolution
Doesn't really matter anymore with modern screens but oh well

I think I only upgraded mine after I got tired of barely chugging to 30 FPS in Witcher 2
You can easily upgrade to a cheap as fuck model from a few generations ago and still be pretty "future proof"
>>343056395
>FO4
>graphics are marginally better than Skyrim's
>requirements are drastically higher
I'd be okay with it if it meant better graphics; I have to upgrade eventually. The problem is that there's no real gain despite the requirement increase.
>>343115310
The actual problem is that it is boring as fuck, the description "Skyrim with guns" really doesn't do it justice

Doesn't the game load two copies of the terrain, with the hidden one underneath the top one? That's what somebody told me.

thanks m8.
>You can easily upgrade to a cheap as fuck model from a few generations ago and still be pretty "future proof"
Which models in particular do you recommend? Want to avoid accidentally buying one that has overheating/noise/whatever issues as I have read about some models
I do intend to upgrade, not just because OW, but because my card just can't keep up with the times (and it is showing its age)Although I don't understand why OW has such requirements when it is not particularly impressive graphically speaking
>>343116016
Definitely don't take my advice, do your own research (or at least ask /g/)
I don't know shit about anything but I'm happy with my 580
>>343089547
>>343089708
The reason is because modern post processing really doesn't work well with MSAA.
FXAA and TXAA are stopgap measures specifically developed to give some form of Anti-Aliasing for modern game.

I was so fucking sad when I had to refund it.Yeah I know I could've checked the specs beforehand, but I was expecting an FPS like that to have good enough downscaling to work on a 512 MB graphics card, especially since my PC ran HotS and SC2 just fine.
