Wolfenstien The Old Blood

Oops yes, the 290x was getting random fps drops whereas the GTX980 was flawless. It was the GTX780 (3GB) I had before the 290x that had the VRAM issue at 3440x1440. perhaps it was more to do with AMD's drivers I don't know, all I can say is everything was nice after changing to the 980.

Swings and roundabouts probably! :p

I hate computers sometimes for reasons like this.

Oh, hey where'd you get it from for just under £7?

I had quite a bit of GMG credit left in my account from previous purchases - one of the reasons I buy from them, decent prices and points for money off later!
 
Bought and downloading. Will take me just over an hour.

Reeeeallly looking forward to this. TNO was beautiful, I just hope this leads on to them releasing a newer type of Enemy Territory to put one over Activision and the whole COD world.
 
6 hours of gameplay isn't very small by today's SP standards! Also it's over 30GB download!
 
Not trolling as I am genuinely new to Gsync/Freesync, and still only have a 60hz monitor.

Tell me one thing, if I get a solid 70 FPS on a 120/144hz screen, will the game judder?

Surely the answer is Yes there will be judder/loss of smoothness, as some frames get displayed for an unequal length of time

70 frames are generated, 70hz worth of refresh will be unique frames, the remaining 50hz are duplicates?

vs

120hz/60 frames = each frame will be displayed for 2 refreshes = frame time is consistent?



And I assume how gsync works is:
GPU is outputing 45fps - monitor drops to 45hz, matching 1 frame to 1 refresh
GPU increases to 67fps - monitor refresh increases to 67hz, maintaining 1 frame to 1 refresh.

whereas without gsync, vsync off - 60hz monitor for example:
45fps - you get some duplicate frames
67fps - you get potential tearing, as frames may be part rendered as it refreshes.



Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - or move this to a separate topic, as willing to learn - this just seemed like good examples.
 
Just bought this, I loved TNO (GOTY for me by a fair distance) so I felt it warranted the Steam price even if it is "only" about 8 hours.

I think your both right and wrong.

You might be right on how gsync works. But the rest I think is incorrect.

If your monitor is faster refresh than your gpu fps, this wont cause any issues. No duplicates frames etc...

Then what does it display? It can't display "nothing".

E.g. Monitor at 60hz, gpu is giving 45fps = 15hz worth of duplicate (or not duplicate, but refreshed the same as was previously) frames.
 
I preloaded this on Sunday. Really looking forward to it. I played and finished TNO on the Xbox 360 as my old PC wasn't up to the job.

Looking forward to my first shooter on my new PC.
