Good stuff, just last month I switched to Nvidia and loads of improvements since then :D

pandehz4831d ago

Gonna love it, I had ATi 5850 for like1 yr and half now and had numerous problems with many games.

Rage for example now works great with 60+fps on my gtx 460m

Also can now play AC with medium physx and get 45-50fps :)

Best part for me was now I can use my gfx card for my work. Some of the softwares I use require cuda support DaVinci and Premiere's Mercury Playback engine so yea win win for me :)

Baka-akaB4831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

switching soon too , getting tired of Catalyst pilots constant BS issues

MAJ0R4831d ago

I'll be switching soon too from my 5970 because I've had tons of driver issues.

StayStatic4831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

I'm switching also , RAGE still doesn't work properly amongst other reasons.

Card = ATI 5870

NYC_Gamer4831d ago

AMD just doesn't invest enough in driver support

SnakeCQC4831d ago

well my 6850 is still okay in terms of power i can max most games at 60 its just random driver crashes albeit they do sort themselves out in seconds but i dont like when it happens (bf3 randomly crashes too not frequently like 2 out of 10 times but still) it plus i want a descent 3d option im going for a 680 when supply is in

humbleopinion4831d ago

RAGE was a relatively different beast since it uses OpenGl and not DirectX like most games, so the card manufacturers (and especially ATI) were not really ready for it with quick driver updates.

But as a Geforce owner in the past couple of years let me just warn you that it's not like all your problems will magically disappear. My Geforce cards had all sorts of issues with games like Bioshock and Dead Space 2 and even Arkham Asylum (which was actually developed with Nvidia's help). Nvidia seems to be a bit quicker about driver updates but these issues can always happen no matter what card you use.

starchild4831d ago

I have an AMD HD 6950 right now, but I plan on getting one of the new Nvidia cards this summer. Both brands can have their issues though.

With the way these updates and betas keep coming I am finding less reasons to upgrade from my dual 285s. Still trucking without drinking the tessellation koolaid! ;) Yeah, I know I gotta upgrade eventually, but I'm pleased as punch that I have gotten so much out of these cards thanks to Nvidia keeping up with stellar support and updates.

theroadtoruin4831d ago

ATI sucks, my GTS 250 still runs everything like a champ at high settings.

ninjahunter4831d ago

XD I love it, Maby i can pull off max in witcher 2 now :) So close.

TheModernKamikaze4830d ago

I have Intel GMA 950 for 4 years, I'm planning to buy GT 440 Gddr5.

MS could compress their games on disc

raWfodog47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.

jznrpg37d ago

Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim

ActualWhiteMan46d ago

Yeah totally. Definitely won’t be hacking it Nintendo 🤞🏻

NVIDIA Smooth Motion: Up to 70% More FPS Using Driver Level Frame Gen on RTX 50 GPUs

NVIDIA’s RTX 50 “Blackwell” architecture has been a bit of a bore for us gamers. Apart from Multi Frame Generation, which has limited use-case scenarios, there isn’t much to be excited about. It is achieved using GPU-side Flip Metering. The optical field data is generated using AI models in the Tensor cores.

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

Christopher76d ago

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast74d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic74d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee75d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator74d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast74d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
