You've never once posted any proof of any of this and you crusade really hard against the PC for somebody who would have spent quite a bit of money and time on their own.

Sounds like he's reading off of some blog and never actually did any of this himself.

Nvidia having the profile isn't the same as a developer actually building their rendering pipeline to take advantage of it.

@scatteh316: You still sound like you're full of shit and you also don't seem to understand the greater picture. A 970 is still capeable today. You saying otherwise doesn't change that. Call me an idiot all you want, but you're the one not living in reality in this situation.

Luckily I see you blithering to this small community. Nobody out in the real world gives a shit. People are still playing on their 970s and buying the latest games despite your crusade against the consoles.

The support is weird. It has maybe 1 million backers so far. That's a fraction of what it'll sell when it releases. Tons of room to grow on the platform alone. The game should be uber profitable simply because CIG isn't out any of their own money in the project.

It's a weird situation that simply doesn't apply to normal games.

@2mrw: Console jumps are only significant because they are so far behind. You can see the jump a lot more when your consoles come every 8 years. When the PS4 and Xbox One came out, PC cards were already more powerful, but we consider those cards to be woefully out of date.

@tgob89: SC isn't just about the fidelity. Other PC games have already surpassed in it in a number of ways. SC is about the scale. Already in the alpha the consistent high fidelity reaches over an area larger than most games combined. It's consistently high quality and has a level of interaction and general believably that it's a functioning world than no other game has had. When they ramp up the new tech and start expanding to more planets, increasing NPC counts and player counts, the depth of the mechanics will start to be realized. It's unlike anything you can imagine even now and it's incomplete, buggy, and downright broken in most ways.

There's far more to games than just the final image quality. SC is in a unique position where it's not necessarily the immediate quality that's impressive, it's how consistent it is at the scale it's at. No other game has cities that cover entire planets. SC will.

Or he's completely full of shit because nobody runs 900 series cards in SLI.

@scatteh316: Why did you have SLI in the modern PC gaming world? It's been useless since about 2015. SLI support is non existent in games and if you knew anything about PC gaming you would know that. In fact running SLI usually results in worse performance these days. Why would you SLI cards with only 4 gbs of vRAM? What was the end goal?

What's today's standards? Playing 4k at maxed out? In the real world the vast majority of people are still playing 1080p60 and a GTX 970 does that for every game out there with only a small amount of issues in a few poorly optimized games.

I know you're lying and it's kind of sad. Nobody in their right mind would have SLI'ed 970s because by the time the card came out, SLI was dead. Nvidia doesn't even include SLI bridges with their GPUs anymore and have completely pulled driver level support for 3 and 4 card SLI setups with SLI support in general about to be pulled. That time is over. If you weren't lying and actually knew about the PC gaming market you would know this.

Why do you have to lie? What are you gaining?

Yes it is. I know you live in a made up world of your own doing but in reality the 970s is running every single game on the PC without any major issue. Unless you really want to start pushing the resolution beyond 1080p. People with 970s are playing all of the new games without any real issue.

Please return to reality.
