So I have done a quick test with the Valley Benchmark.
My GTX560ti runs Standard on GPU 900Mhz and Memory on 2000MHz.
with this configuration I have following FPS.
331.49: min 17,5fps / max 49,1fps / avg 29,9fps
334.21: min 17,7fps / max 49,3fps / avg 29,9fps
337.12: min 16,9fps / max 49,1fps / avg 29,9fps
so nothing big has changed.
If I overclock the Card to GPU 950MHz and Memory 2200Mhz
337.12: min 17,9fps / max 53,7fps / avg 31,6fps

so 5,69% win on fps in the average.
Not worth for me ;-)

btw: the 337.12 is now in the X Edgers PPA ;-)

Back to topic maybe can try the witcher 2, this game on higher settings is too heavy

^_^

I still have 310.xx driver on Mint 15 and the witcher 2 runs smooth for me in wine on high@1080p.
I just played 10 mins and didn't try it any further because I have read about the witcher 2 port that will come to Linux ^^.

My specs:

i7 3770k
geforce 670GTX
32GB RAM

w00t, I already bought it some time back, when it was available for android.
I'd be very happy to buy it again for a linux version in steam.

A blatant ripoff of course, but still: Lovin' it! Wipeout is great fun. :)

Nice, a WipEout HD replacement. This should help ease transitions from PS3 to Steam Machines.

I used to use adblock on this site, but stopped a while ago. I find it important to deactivate adblock on those sites that I find important.

Quoting: Anonymousif you only browse normal sites, adds are not even close to annoying. not to mention you support the site. but, browsing porn without addblock, that might be much more tricky, lol

You may be used to ads but I'm not. I never watched TV, live in the countryside and don't read newspapers. And my computer has had adblock software for a really long time. Being hypersensitive flickering ads are annoying as hell.
This (and a few other sites that make their revenue from just ads) are the only ones where I deactivate it. I believe it's important to deactivate it on sites you believe in.

Oh come on with the excuses. Our market share is small, face it. I sure would like to see it getting bigger but wishing it so isn't going to make it so.

I have faith that it will grow with time. Just be patient.

Great music in the middle of this trailer! Gameplay is too violent for my taste though.

Also I turned down another offer of $100 today for an article from someone else, they also refused to let me put a sponsored tag on, so no deal.

Quoting: Cheeseness

Quoting: liamdaweThat is NOT aggressive. That is me telling people very clearly I don't want idiotic comments about this.

Surely there's scope for discussion that doesn't agree with your position that also isn't idiotic.

Totally have to agree with DrMcCoy. Definitely getting "con" vibes from the situation. Good move on pulling out.

Of course, I mainly meant it to outright stop any attacks on me and GOL in the comments, that is all I just worded it badly.

Quoting: XodetaetlYour decision to stay clear of those shady agreements made me decide to support you with some money. I appreciate the work you do to reach out to devs etc.

Though as you've been told here and multiple times before, you'll need to put some experience points in wisdom. Because yes, you are aggressive a times, getting into arguments, finding some people are idiots and being blunt about it... Yes, a lot of people are agressive at times too, it's human bad instincts, but your position as a journalist, as one of the faces of the Linux community, requires you to get over it and be smarter than this, wiser than 'them'. It's hard and a constant struggle with your emotions but you will do yourself a favor.

Thank you all help is appreciated.

Well it's odd what people see as aggressive to me is perfectly normal where I am from, everyone has a difference of opinion on that.

The main thing is I don't want to turn into some sort of online tabloid robot, I think the reason GOL is where it is now is due to me putting across my emotions often. I am only human of course, learning all the time :)

was hoping for a trailer with footage shot with a video camera like for the first game. Those trailers were awesome.

So excited :D I loved the first for it's addictive gameplay and gritty surreal atmosphere (not to mention one of my favorite soundtracks). I'm sure the sequel won't disappoint.

Wikipedia now requires content authors to identify their affiliations if they are payed to make additions. Apparently there are laws governing fair economic practices everywhere.

Good call on transparency.

The linux version will be released at the same time as other plattforms.

Quoting: Beamboom

Quoting: ImantsWe do not have anything else to put our trust into. So if Valve fails our dreams fails with it :)

It's the truth.

Well, most PC games are now played via 2 platforms, which also double up as digital shops:Steam or Desura. Windows Games Live is dead (Yeah!), GameSpy will be D.E.A.D by the end of May, and EA Origin store is a bit of a joke. Some may say that to succeed you need to be on Steam. Some isolated cases like Mojang actually go against this juncture, but as I said games like Minecraft are the exceptions which prove the rule, as we say in France.

That leaves digital outlets such as Amazon, GOG, the Humble Store, GreenMan Games, Slitherine and a plethora of other smaller outlets.

So I guess yes, if Steam fails to get SteamOS off the ground, we are pretty screwed in the hope of getting mainstream gaming, but we will still get indies so all is not lost.

Far cry 3 has nothing to do with cryengine. Only far cry 1 was from crytek.

The first one is in my top ten favorite games list. It's probably my favorite indie game. You should definitely play it.

Ok cool. I bought it thinking it had a Linux version. Even contacted Humble support about it.

Quoting: AnonymousOn lower end cards maybe give troubles because coolers, power components, heat sink not be adequate for overclocking

But on higher cards (as yours for example) maybe is possible because coolers, power components and heat sink is more adequate for overclocking, and show many custom coolers and heat sinks of vga manufacturers for overclocking

And maybe appears better results on pc titles when high gpu use (metro maybe???) with your higher settings

^_^

the problem is... i really havent seen a game that doesnt run max with my relatively mid end 660Ti
on linux. that is ofc and at 1080p. Metro LL runs above 40 as well.

and yeah low end cards have cheaper coolers and power components.. thats true... but oc gain there is usualy better cause those cards perform poorly and even small step in clocks gives something...

i wont probably OC much though... doesnt give the needed boost anyway and when the card is getting older i will get a newer anyway.

but those who have weaker GPUs and are pretty much on the edge of droping below 30 fps for games, small boost can help to make this experience better.
