is there a sweet spot for graphics settings running a 980TI @1080 downscaled on a 4k screen? looks very blurry at the moment.

980ti should max 1080p out, could it be the monitor not playing nice with 1080p not all monitors run right out of spec

Just drop it all on mid settings or even try mid at 1440.

It's a Iiyama 24" 75Hz job. It was going cheap when my last one was on its last legs. I think I'll go bigger with higher resolution and frame frame next time.

Defo need bigger than 24". I like 27/32 for gaming, it just feels right. Bigger and I get killed a lot.

Is the campaign really only a couple of hours long (short)? Only interested in campaign, and not buying if it's that tiny.

Yeah about the typical call of duty length of 4-6 hours.
I completed it in an afternoon.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a boxing day special I guess.
Can't wait to see my death streaks on a bigger screen haha

I find 27" the perfect size. Part of me likes the allure of going ultra wide screen but I can see myself playing it safe with my next monitor and staying at 27". Whether or not I move up from 1440p to 4K is a different matter

by max do you mean all sliders to the right? I cant see a preset max or anything?

i just went into the graphics setting and dropped the res, i didnt change anything else as not really sure on what does what.

I am having problems getting the microphone to work in crossplay , I have a pc and my friend has ps4 (both using the same type of mics) but we cant hear each other . In the cod options mic test the mic appears to be working fine.

Any suggestions guys ?

I think you could be right with this. I got a 34 ultrawide and struggle to take in the whole screen - I have to look quite far off to the left for the radar. I'll hopefully get used to it as for everything else I love the size.

I think I would go for 1440p 144Hz for my next one. Just unsure of which is a good solid bet.

Under mic setting in the sound option. Turn off push to talk. There there is 2 setting for headset volume and mic volume. Set them both to max.

In COD in a face to face one vs one M&K vs controller they really isn't much in it the aim assist helps even the odds I feel.
What PC players do have an advantage over is flick shots and fast turning around.

Anyway forget about aim that is only part of the package I play mostly S&D and I have seen worst players playing pc then console just generally not knowing what to do or game sense.

It's quicker until you get hit by a stun, basically can't move on KB/M once you get hit by one.

Yer tbf know a lad with a rx580 and he as all the bell on at 1080 and it runs fine. Your 980ti should also kill it.

Under setting right at the bottom there is 2 optional for blurring when moving. If there on try turning them off.?

I'm starting to see what folk are saying with campers. I just stuck on some games of cyber attack to try that mode, seems fairly boring with people just sitting in corners.

I've seen this a lot but if you are quick enough you can get them. Or if you think they are there, a flashbang does the trick

That and a preemptive shot through a wall. It's a shame they dialed down the bullet penetration, really

Guest2 · 17 Dec 2019 at 21:56

Ive just had a couple more rounds. I can't put my finger on it but it almost feels like I go around a corner and someone is already shooting before they even see me
I have seen it on replays too where ive been crouch walking and someone runs at me pre firing. If they had the thermal scope thing i could understand (if it does highlight thermal through walls)

Either people are just really quick at responding nowadays (compared to COD1/COD2/MOHAA days) people are cheating or have some fantasic weapons i dont have

MaXxBoulton · 18 Dec 2019 at 05:52

Or like a few have said on here, pull the trigger before you go round the corner

Happens all the time used to be annoying but just get on with it now. More I play the more kills I get don't really bother about how much I die except the big maps where you spawn miles away from everyone.

I started playing this last night and so far so good.

However, this morning I decided to play a bit before work and had two separate CTD moments. The thing is though there was no error, no message, not even a black screen. The game just freezes for a few breaths and then back to desktop. The Blizzard App says its still running for a few beats and then the Play button appears again ready to go.

I Googled it of course and it seems common but finding a solution was the hard part, has anyone here had anything similar?

My specs are as follows...

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150
Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz
GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SATA 2.5" SSD (Games are installed to this drive)
Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gbs Basic (Windows installed to this drive)
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gbs 64MB Cache
Windows 10
MSI OPTIX AG32CQ 32" Monitor (144hz, 1440p)

This morning I updated my drivers to the latest from the Nvidia website but I didn't get a chance to try it again.

Anyone been in this situation and found a solution.

Thank you in advance.
