So that's effectively trading, especially when you have many duplicates, right? It's just that you don't trade with another player, but with Relic/Sega.
you could see it like that, but essentially it would be easier, because there would be no need to search for a tradepartner |
1. 980 Ti is the best bang for buck currently, r9 390 is nowhere close to the performance of the 980 Ti, and it's all over tech forums that 980 Ti performs best for its cost.
i dont know what tech forums you read, but consider this:
the 980ti has about 90% more FPS than the r9 380, but costs more than three times the amount. 1.9/3.x < 1 therefore the r9 380 has significantly more bang/buck
|
oh nonono, i meant frame time spiking
but yeah, back to topic
op, before you buy a second hand card, ask the owner for coil whine, sometimes this is the reason why the sell the card! |
well, all cards spike, but the 970 does so quite a bit more.
you may doubt that nvidia will abandon support, i dont know whether they will, but im sure they have done so in the past and that should be said.
8 gigs of vram are only needed in a couple of cases right now, but as i repeatedly stated, this might increase a lot in future
to be honest, if the 970 would not have this issue, i would probably rate it over the 390 because of the efficiency, but so, its just not very future-safe.
and yes, a used 290 would be quite good. OP, can you tell us which PSU you have? and how many fans in which case? |
For older generations? You mean cards of 3y ago?
The guy is talking about upgrading to a card that can run COH2 on high settings. Older cards that Nvidia does not support anymore are not even relevant here.
when i say older generations i mean older generations. when the new generation from NVIDIA is released this year, the gtx 970 will be of the old generation. got it so far?
now, because the 970 has the ram issue, the driver needs to put the right files into the slow ram, otherwise you have even more microstuttering. as nvidia doesnt support older generations as well, people rightfully fear that the driver wont do that for new games once the new generation has arrived
What a load of bullshit is that. Gforce experience ensures you ride with the best driver available at that moment, updating nearly every week ensuring every game can run at the fullest potential.
What a load of marketing bla bla bullshit is that.
Dude really, why you even trying.
stick your memes where they belong...

Get your shit right
at least quote me correct
NVIDIA has very good support for their newest generation, their drivers are susally better for new games. BUT FOR OLDER GENERATIONS nivida doesnt support it as well as AMD does and the 970 needs very good drivers to perform okay. sorry, but be quiet |
If you exceed vram requirements, then it will stutter. No matter if the card is from AMD or nvidia. Your suggested 380 will have the exact same problems.
My debunked point was clearly towards the "last 0.5gb vram", which does not cause any stuttering, nor any major performance degradation.
i know that it was towards the last 0.5 gb. can you show me any source with frametime measurements that show that this is not an issue? i can show you the opposite: grman hardware site(sorry its in german, but the graphs should be selfexplenatory)
Apropo "personaly preference", to clear it up: i prefer a more efficient card, with less noise / power consumption, overall better driver support, and less frame rate variance - and if i effectively even pay less for it, why wouldn't i buy it?
well, good AMD custom designs are not more noisy. furthermore, AMD has better driver support for older cards and the GTX 970 ESPECIALLY needs good drivers because of its faulty design. therefore it may get a lot worse in future. "less frame rate variance"-> isnt that the reason for the r9 390 with 8 gigs? and they cost the same more or less |
The GTX 970 doesn't "microstutter", this only happens to be the case when you're going above 3.5gigs
the gtx 970 does microstutter in games like shaow of mordor, unity, GTA5 in soem cases. seeing that consoles have 8GB of shared RAM, we will probably see increased VRAM usage in the future and therefore more games with microstutters , but in this case it'll stutter for any GPU.... as the game will then probably use above 4gigs anyways except the r9 390 has 8GB and wont stutter... . There are almost no games that cross 3.5gigs currently, except shadow of mordor, assassins creed unity (which is crap optimized) and some highly modded games such as skyrim and some other games. (even BF4 etc will run fine on GTX 770 - 970 without any problems).
Running 180fps in coh2 with my gtx 970, happily setisfied.
im not saying that the 970 is a terrible card, but the 390 is just the better choice atm
just take the GTX 980 Ti, which is the best bang for buck atm. sorry, but the 980ti is NOWHERE NEAR the best bang/buck. its an enthusiast card and those cards are always very pricey . The card will serve you a really long time and can run anything (prob even be overkill for 1080p atm). more like total overkill . The GTX 970 is also great, but since it's released a few years back, it gets kind of outdated even though it still performs well I would still opt to go for a newer card so you don't have to replace it anytime soon!
the gtx 970 is the same generation as the 980ti?!?!
The whole vram thing has been debunked several times. It doesn't cause any stutters, and the performance hit is neglectable - still shady business practice by nvidia though.
debunked? if you look at the frametimes of some high VRAM games, it stutters considerably and noticably more than other cards. due to the 8GB consoles, we will likely have more games with this usage! .
For 300 bucks the 970 comes to mind. They pretty much all got a factory OC of 10-20%, and usually come with some free game - i think it's The Division atm., effectively "saving" you another 30+.
the custom r9 390 are OCed aswell and they come with a free game aswell. i got civilization beyond earth and dirt rallye with mine.

My stream always online, 7 games no XP for drops now
the drops are independent of XP, so XP shouldnt be the reason. it might be that relic changed the droprate recently though!
Has anyone taken any notes of which factions they picked and drop rates? It could just be diverse RNG, but I feel as though I am getting a lot more drops with the newer factions than the older factions. I seem to average about 7-8 war spoils (total spoils not drops) in ~8 hours. But with Whermacht I seem to only be averaging around 3 in ~ 8 hours.
in my experience it is not like this. try a little more and see, whether you still see this.
Farmed for 30 hours straight, got 3 bulletins. And here I thought the RNG store in Mass Effect 3 was garbage. Relic takes the cake and whole pantry too.
That aside, the script itself works great.
hmm, i think i should write nee a message, he was the guy who investigated droptimes.
How would crafting work?
disenchanting of a commander/bulletins/skins gives x material, building a new commander (hopefully permanent) costs y material with y>x.
