yea. there was plenty of things that ccp could of blab about but 99% of the hype for this game was the "orbital strikes". orbital strikes kinda killed this game in a way. there was so many unique things this game did for an fps but everyone was hyped about the "sandbox world" and when it didn't deliver the hype for it died. |

orbital strikes are just a really fancy way of bombing ****. so nothing new at all. dust 514 just added dubstep to it and made pewpew ships bomb us instead. and called it orbital strikes. wow. new and original. |

Maybe if they optimized their game so I can run it at a stable 60fps with a GTX950, I would actually consider playing it again. Lol 950... Get a real job and buy a 1080 Ti. I'd have to buy a whole new PC, I'm not sure my current PSU could handle the 1080 Ti, and the motherboard is probably not big enough. Ey, I'm not a tech head, if you could explain what exactly I would require to get it now I'd get it. 350W PSU btw.
I can tell you right now 950 is good enough for modern gaming. these people are just being picky because your not using something like 1070. Planetside two is unoptimized to ****. if there is a great deal of players on a map, usually perfomance takes a huge hit. I am using a **** old 770, runs the game fine. only when there is like 99+ player on the map it becomes a problem. and i guarantee you when that happens, people with 1080 ti and i9's are lagging too because the lag isnt client side...
If you want to see if your computer can handle an upgrade, just put in your computer parts in https://pcpartpicker.com/ , usually it will tell you (and why) if it is compatible. Is your computer pre built or did you build the system? i gotta know if you have 0 experience with pc building. |

Modern gaming as in games from early 2016 maybe. Hell, I'm not even sure how many fps you'll get in DS3 Ringed City area with a 950, let alone brand new games at high settings.
Firstly, with a prebuilt, he is probably not running on high or above settings. and in some games the difference between low and ultra tends to be more negligible nowadays. not worth running past medium, even in a high end setup, because you will loose alot of fps for 0 improvement.
Secondly, a quick check on youtube shows that the GTX 950 is capable of running modern games released this year at an more than acceptable framerate. though i'm under the impression that you're the kind of person that would say a game is unplayable if you have even one frame under 120 hz in ultra.
You mention dark souls. well here you go. took like 2 seconds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NH-VBoACE0
it runs ~45 Hz, on 1080p, at maximum settings. no 60 Hz, but more than acceptable. However, if this was lowered to a more reasonable medium settings, he would probably hit 60 hz easily.
Resident evil 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImKgIwrLV4I
With tweaks that are clearly visible, this guy managed to get on average ~90 Hz at 1080p from what I am seeing in the video. this game came out in early 2017.
Of course, this isn't on Ultra. but due to the way modern games are made, these settings are not disgusting. they are more than acceptable to most people, unless you are trying to have a epeen contest.
Prey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFeBIONPROw
Again, tweaked settings on 1080p, around ~60-70 Hz. More than acceptable quality of graphics.
WatchDogs 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6HnLr_5_kA
To show i am not biased, here is a game that is running around ~30hz. 30hz may be acceptable for some, and more so if said person is using a pre build with a four year old gpu that was bottom tier when it came out. but i suspect this is worst case scenario, since ubisoft is known to not have very good optimization.
Witcher 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL0Vwukx_6Q
I know this is an old game, but this game is known to be pretty graphically intensive. again, it's unnecessarily running on High, and it is getting around ~45 Hz.
Destiny 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sqEXBY_aEw
Probably one of the newest games released right now, and it's getting ~60 hz
I could go on and on, but we would be here all day.
Don't get me wrong, It is a bottom tier graphics card, and I do recommend him upgrading at some point, but to say it can't handle modern gaming is just ignorant.

the GTX 1050 is not worth purchasing to replace GTX 950 since it is also bottom tier graphics card. You can currently find GTX 1060 on amazon and newegg for ~220 USD. Not that bad. It would be more than worth it.

If you are referring to "1080 ti and i9's" comment, of course, It was meant as a joke and exaggeration. buying a highly multithreaded cpu ment for production work that can easily run into four digit price tag for gaming is extremely stupid and obvious to all but the most novice PC builders. and no one is buying prebuilts with i9's in it just for gaming, unless they are very novice.

Is your computer pre built or did you build the system? i gotta know if you have 0 experience with pc building. Yeah so I put all the parts on there and my PSU nor the motherboard can't fit the 1080 Ti, here's the quotes from the site: - 2 additional PCI-Express pcie8-pin power connectors are needed. - Thermaltake - Litepower 350W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply may not provide sufficient wattage. The estimated part list maximum power draw is 398W. rip xD I tried this instead - Asus - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Dual Video Card That fits. Still below 300W power usage, within the 350W PSU I have, and it fits onto the motherboard.
I am a total idiot.
I forgot to mention power supplies have a certain efficiency. it only goes a certain percentage of its wattage. look here
http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/80plus.jpg
350 * 0.80 = 280 W, under 100% load. I do not know if that is still enough, though it would help if you linked your pcpartpicker build so I can make sure.
it may be in your best interest to get this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9X3F8F/?tag=pcpapi-20
It is 80+ Bronze (protip: don't buy a PSU without 80+ rating, chinese crap will be at lower efficiency than 80%), and it is made by a brand name. It is 30 usd, which is far less than what your typical smug ego fueled pcmasterrace would suggest, and its not some crap from china. (or at least not cheap made crap from china) it should satisfy you for the next century when they decide to retire the ATX form factor, unless you plan on changing form factors or decide to delve in $600 GPU or sli setups.
and yes, that adds 30 USD to your upgrade, but honestly, It would probably be worth it for the performance gains you would get upgrading to the GTX 1060, and also more worth it if you plan on upgrading your cpu at some point. |
