Metro: Last Light on Three Monitors!

TheSurroundGamr — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:22:59 GMT

Metro: Last Light Benchmark - Nvidia Surround - GTX 670 3-Way SLI:

Here are the settings that I used to get the smoothest possible gameplay (pre-Metro: Last Light Game Ready WHQL Drivers):
Quality: Very High; Texture filtering: AF 4X; Advanced PhysX: Enabled; Tesselation: Not supported; Motion Blur: Low; SSAA: OFF; GTX 670 3-Way SLI @ stock settings (no OC). Nvidia GeForce 314.22 WHQL driver.

Anyone else out there running multiple monitors with this game? What's your hardware setup and settings used?

F.E.A.R. 3 Gameplay - Nvidia Surround - GTX 670 3-Way SLI:

This game works right out of the box for surround setups such as Nvidia Surround, Eyefinity, or Triple Head2Go. Thank you, Day 1 Studios for making the life of a surround gamer that much easier. :)

BF3 voice overs?

Poci — Sat, 11 May 2013 02:09:39 GMT

Im back to BF3 and I was pondering about this when it first came out. But is there any way to make voice overs in original language like in BF2? Hearing English when playing RU with lousy accents is annoying. I liked it much better like in BF2 with all foreign languages with subtitles, you actually learned basic words plus I already know some basic concepts of the language from living with them in my early 20s (god I miss those women :D ). I can understand n00b EA telling DICE to translate for dumb add crowd but Im sure there is some work around such as downloading a language pack and installing it to a folder. Anything like that?

Ok this is friggen gei. I dunno if its a windows 8 problem or what. I been drinking a lot of beer the past week and going crazy with Win 8. I was testing the cache of this game and I came up with this, and every single time in the past that I have fixed game cache by validating in any game it worked in Win 7. Now no matter how many times I do it, it still says the same message in L4D2. Max Payne 3,Hitman absolution and even olskool Half Life 2 are fine. But L4D2 wont validate wtf. In my beer stupor I booted in safe mode to tryed it to make sure firewall or AV weren't affecting it and SAME THING!!! WTF!!

Am I gonna have to format this crap again? Or even go back to Win 7 yet again? I don't think I ever formatted so many times in life as I have in the past month with Win 8 wtf.... Im just getting the hang of it with the 3rd party start menu but Im starting to regret reinstalling this crap. The only thing I like about it is that degfrag is no longer defrag but an optimize for SSDs with trim enabled.

COD Ghosts

zetachi — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:58:36 GMT

It's that time of the year again...Drumroll please...

Like Punxsutawney Phil's shadowgazing, we can rightfully expect a new Call of Duty game to be announced annually and available at the holidays. Also like our groundhog friend, the only annual questions we must ask are in the details -- what is this year's Call of Duty about, and who's making it? It turns out that this year's Duty development, unsurprisingly, falls on Infinity Ward's shoulders -- the folks who created the much lauded Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare -- and it's named "Call of Duty: Ghosts." The first-person shooter is arriving on a whole mess of platforms this November 5th, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, but also PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox -- given that we don't know release dates for the PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox, it stands to reason that Ghosts will arrive on a different date for those platforms. It's also likely we'll see a handheld version on Nintendo's 3DS made by someone other than Infinity Ward, but we've got no direct word on that just yet. More ambiguous, Nintendo's Wii U isn't listed, but it stands to reason it'll head that way as well (the last series entry, Black Ops 2, got a Wii U version).

The "Ghosts" in the title references ... well, we're not entirely sure. Previous CoD games featured a character named "Ghost" fairly prominently, though the plurality indicates a game about more than one individual. Infinity Ward head Mark Rubin calls Ghosts "a new sub-brand" in the CoD franchise, and it's getting a new (unnamed) game engine to boot -- another indicator that previous characters aren't involved. We're holding out hope that the often overserious, dramatic tone of previous CoD games is being completely thrown out in favor of a goofy game about hunting ghosts. The bullets pass right through their ethereal form! Run for your life! We'll hear more about Call of Duty: Ghosts at Microsoft's big next-gen console unveiling on May 21st, so hold tight. The first teaser video is just below the jump.

kbohip — Wed, 01 May 2013 05:00:04 GMT

Anyone plan on picking this up? I'm a child of the 80's who liked the cheesy futuristic action movies of the day. I also loved Far Cry 3. So yeah, I'm all in on this one.:cool:

DiRT 3 - Still playing? Wheel + Pedal Setup?

TheSurroundGamr — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:10:17 GMT

DiRT 3 - Nvidia Surround - GTX 670 3-way SLI:

Anyone else out there still playing DiRT 3? I know that this is an 'older' title that's been around the block a few times, however, I just got around to playing it this week. Here's what it's like running this game with three video cards, across three screens. This game really is fun and has great control! I got a controller for my PC for games like this, and it's real nice. Anyone out there using a wheel + pedals for this game? Please share your experience with that. Anyone addicted to this game currently or in the past, and unlock everything?

Thief

kbohip — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:05:15 GMT

Never in my 20 years of pc gaming have I looked forward to a new title as much as the new Thief. I just read an article in Game Informer that practically has me salivating for it now. So far the release date is just "2014". The article definitely makes it seem like the developer knows what they are doing and if it holds true this could easily be the best Thief yet. It's going to be a long wait.

Anyone playing Rage?

MixedNuts — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:25:12 GMT
