Quoting: CybaCowboyI won't buy a computer unless it has an Nvidia graphics card and actively avoid computers using AMD graphics cards...

I would want to buy an AMD card, for FreeSync (vs. GSync) and Nvidias GTX 970 lies.
But obviously, as a Linux solely user(*), I won't.

(*) to the native speakers: is this correct, "Linux solely user"?

Their website is a horror in its own right. When you click on about, you stay at the same place, visually, can scroll downwards to the about text - but the arrows to go to the other pages are gone...

Quoting: wojtek88Just to write comment no. 200

Just wanted to mention the same. 200 comments, over 20.000 reads - is this a record, Liam?

Quoting: GuestIf I buy a game and have it refunded, does that count as a purchase?

Edit: answering myself: yes it is a purchase… but of course knowing how many were refunded, or disappointing, may be an interesting thing to know.

Edit2: About Mordor, I can’t really answer that one. Already bought it, and I couldn’t bear it so got it refunded.

In the end, you've got the money and you haven't got the game, so I wouldn't count it as a purchase.

Quoting: STiATSeems as if it could be playable on my i7 with nvidia 760

Totally. It's playable on my i5 with nvidia 660.
I will go with medium settings, which seems fine according to the benchmarks, and see how far I'll come with it.

Quoting: liamdaweHonestly, I didn't see it that way. I saw it more as that Steam supports Linux fully, which is what I believe they meant. Rather than Valve directly pitching into help every developer (which would be impossible, they aren't a big company staff wise).

I had the same impression as the others: There's some kind of incentive. Maybe more prominent search places or such. I'd like to know, too, but I'm not sure they're allowed to talk about it.

Quoting: tuubiAccording to a random website, the official vmem requirement for the game at 1080p is 2 gigs for the Medium texture quality setting and 4 GiB for High. 6 GiB for Ultra when the hd texture pack is installed. No mention of the effect of other settings, but I got the impression that this is with at least reasonable AA.

The game states these itself when changing texture quality (box on right side).
AFAIR it doesn't state a resolution, but I guess that only could be 1080p.
