I was using my 6950 for 4 year and didn't had problem. Now i got way powerfull gpu then why would i worry about it. Even if i have problem i will just sell it and buy another one. Already got this gpu at great deal of 20k and 2 games free with it. Hah~

Are you nVidia dudes, especially the ones with 970 and latest drivers facing issues? I came across a couple game freeze moments in the exact same place in Vizima, just frustrating, on day one the game crashed a couple times.

I was facing similar crash issues, but that was on me. I am on windows 10 build 10074, had to install the 10 ready 352.84 WHQL driver, now its cheesy smooth after installation.

I am reading similar stories around the web, I am not sure if it is the OS, most people are facing frozen screens and crashes during the cut scenes and while in the inventory. I faced it the exact same place in Vizima whilst reading stuff in my inventory that I had recently acquired, it would just freeze, I would have to 'end task' from the desktop.

Edit - I am on Win 7 64 Ultimate

At what settings I can play W3 with this setup?
AMD athlon II X4 @ 3.3ghz
4GB ddr3 ( can add another 4gb stick if needed)
R7 265

PS: I can easily run games like DAI (fade touched textures, res settings med-high), GTA 5 on (If high textures, rest settings med-high, if Normal textures, rest settings high-ultra) on 1080p

Now go ahead and tell that gameworks crippled the performances....

Go ahead and say...AMD always brings down the price of all their GPUs to Rs. 20 to have an edge in VFM segment even though they have not seen the face of a positive revenue growth in last 2 years and is almost risking a bankruptsy.

That 3dMark you posted showed some interesting benches when Mantle came around first, then suddenly a new-lineup proved them wrong one maxwell at a time...need I remind about the Battlefield4 fiasco? :lol:

Get pragmatic and do a reality check, R9 series from AMD was a serious revelation, it jettisoned the GPU market to a healthier more competitive sector where people could choose away great and cheaper cards...nvidia's Keplar slogged like a bone-weary mule to keep up with that, Mantle was ground breaking too. But that can not ...can never underrate the betterments maxwell brought on the plate.

Learn to accept the goodness of what actually is good. Everyone knows 970 has 3.5G+ 0.5G Vram, when you argue with a notion of convicting it against poor performance, you should come up with charts, not bs.

lol dude....... competing with years old architecture again? btw nvidia just like always released new set of drivers which killed all the hopes for its previous generation owners, i am no AMD advocate here i was just stating the facts, FYI i already Bought, Used and Sold gtx 970 .....

just for your info i will state the facts:

FACT: AMD haven't released any new driver updates since omega which is WHQL certified. while nvidia have to release new drivers after every game release.......
The bench you posted are using the old beta drivers that AMD released for gta 5.....

lets see the result after AMD also get driver updates...

btw in future please don't quote me and I won't quote you, I know here in this forum everyone has right to say whatever they want, but people like you ALL WHO DO IS SHOWOFF abuse this system.........

Seriously dude grow up you are not the only one here having the so called high powered GPU's

you were telling me butthurt when you were so butthurt knowing your gpu can never ever use the 4gb VRAM it got for gaming............

and lastly "GPUs to Rs. 20" lol man when did that happen......

For the sake of this thread i don't want to continue to your utterly bullshit reponses telling how useless AMD is.....

correct dude +10000, and look at people comparing their latest cards to old generation ones....

the fact that they are comapring to old gen should already be an insult , so much for nvidia's latest architecture......

You have to balance, First off Turn AA off at all times. Hairworks off. Use 1920*1080 res, keep all other settings medium. use SSAO. Turn foliage visibility to low.

Calm down :D :D..seems I have infuriated you :p

You sold your GTX 970 because you were not even worth it. You rode the hype train before and you do that pretty often, when the 4GB melodrama filled the internet with people swinging hate-hammer, not even having one game which pushes the 3.5 GB VRAM wall in 1080P...the likes of you took the opportunity to wear that AMD tag again and returned your cards...you could have rethink your choice, since globally only 1-2% of 970 users returned their cards in total. It still performs brilliantly for obvious reasons.

1. Since when releasing optimized drivers for games is something bad? why mention it, both the camp released drivers frequently? its just a laughable argument. It opposes your idea of calling nvidia evil.

2. I was never against AMD driver releases. In fact its nothing unnatural that they should have drivers at development which should just simply support a game. Which is good, always has been. When tomb raider with TressFx was out, it took nvidia two days to come up with a driver to practically match the performance figures with AMD cards...was it from beginning? NO.

3. Shifting from the post you made is not a good idea...you made a point that 970 is gimped because of 4GB VRAM...

What if i told you this... witcher3 does not even exceed 2GB of VRAM even at 4K?

The Witcher 3 Graphics Performance Review - Video memory usage - Final Words & Conclusion

Lastly, you would be the last person whom i would be quoting or putting fight with, I have supported AMD's competitive moves when R9 was out long back, posted many news and updates regarding new architectures and advantages. I have also reprimanded nvidias pricing philosophy.

When a new tech is out, its compared with the last offering of its competition, when R9-280X was out, it was pitted against GTX 770...thats how it works...always does.

One for me please. BTW how is the game? Some screenies will soothe the atmosphere

You haven't played it still? Man i played fr 3 hours yesterday, and it felt like one sip of cold drink on a really hot day... I want more!

Am playing on hard and boy is it satisfying to dodge and back stab a wolf for instance :D

Combat is a joy, though it is tougher than before.

There are still weird bugs though. Yesterday I had no vigor but I tried casting igni and the ghoul instantly caught fire even though geralt did not cast

And u can literally just walk away from the main quest the minute you get control of geralt.

I just wanna leave office and go home so much right now
