    Just ordered a WD blue 1TB hdd for my PC. I only got 5gb left on my pc and have already cleaned it multiple times. The new drive will be a steam drive so i can keep all my steam games separate of everything else, which should also help performance a little bit since windows and games will no longer be accessing the same hdd. The next step is to get an ssd at some point which is now possible since i will be able to shrink my main drive down enough to clone onto an ssd in the future.

    It will also allow me to do a much needed defrag.

    So today I was taught how to write android apps. Or at least given the primer. I used this to go and make my own version of a simple app that I used to use that was implemented poorly, simply a life counter for the card game magic the gathering with a random dice roll function too, the app I used to use fired up the full unity 3d for this... Hugely drained CPU and RAM availability while it drained by battery. My own version, fine. Actually had the old android handset I used to run it on with sleep mode disabled lose less battery in half an hour of running my app than 2 minutes of the old app....

    Then I decided screw this shit, taught myself how windows phone 8 api works, wrote a windows phone version. Much better ;)

    Since I have an R9 290, would it be worth it to upgrade to a GTX 970?

    (probably a stupid question but I'd like to ask before I decide to spend another 300 dollars)

    This game is impressive IMO. Created in 1992, and updated in 1994. It contains 5 tracks, and 3 vehicles. All fully three-dimensional. It supports rendering up to 16 vehicles at a time, full race replays, and sports a full 16 minute soundtrack. And all on a SEGA Genesis entertainment system.

    I can remember playing it 15 years back..

    Probably not... I have a GTX 750 Ti and it runs BeamNG at full graphics settings flawlessly and smoothly.

    My GPU gets some stutters when I'm on certain maps but other than that it's alright. However my NR2003's framerate has seriously dropped off in the last few months, from a cap of 144 (exe set, IDK why) to about 40 average with no graphics changes.

    No, same or worse performance, less easily used VRAM.

    I highly doubt that. Normal graphics, maybe. But not max.

    Lolno. My R9 270 just barely manages to keep me over 40FPS on highly vegetated maps with max settings minus dynamic reflections. (On other maps I can turn it on and still manage a solid 60+)

    Basically nothing can run the game "flawlessly" at max settings. A 970 or 390x are about the bare minimum for those settings for maybe constant 60fps (assuming that is what "flawlessly" is) and even then its not a guarentee.

    Lolno. My GTX 750 Ti manages a constant 58-59-60 fps on pretty much every map. :rolleyes: Your computer must have an i3 or something.

    I remember playing a DOS racing game on my first PC, 'Stunts'. Very nice game, had 7-8 vehicles I think, all in 3d, and you could even create your own tracks. Rather impressive for 1990. It was a lot of fun.

    Slightly better performance actually, unless you're playing at >1440p but then neither is good enough anyway. You're right about the VRAM though. They're very close, and a 290 to a 970 is hardly an upgrade.

    I think it looks like the new far cry could be really good fun, it will be interesting to see how the new setting will effect gameplay. I also really enjoyed fc3, fc3bd and fc4 as well so im hoping for good things.

    I will wait until reviews though. I also wont be buying it through uplay so if they try and make it exclusive to that again then i wont get it.
