What Games are you playing right now?

While reinstalling Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Wildlands I decided to download the 6 hour free trial of Tom Clancy's The Division. Done some recorded game play to show what it looks like at Ultra settings.

Hey, The video link isn't working.

Well that's great Blackrose but that's six months away. What are you doing in the meantime?. I was hoping to hear or see how that 1080TI SLI setup runs GOW4 or GRW at 1440P.

I know. You're saving on games and instead eying those I9 processors, aren't you?

Heh, I wish. Both the kids' birthdays are coming up, so my new game budget is non-existent at this point. I do plan on picking up GRW in a couple months though. It looks awesome.

Ah kids. I'm sure the benefits outweigh the negatives but I was never brave enough. I remember thinking you have to pass a test to drive a car but seems anyone can have kids. I kept looking for tests to assure myself I'd be good enough. Never found any so I passed. Way back, more than one fine lady eventually passed on me for having that attitude. Simply not brave enough was my final answer, understandably not acceptable to some. The Canadian tax man has loved me all my life for that attitude and doesn't even give me a break now being on pension.

GRW - I would love to see Ultra 1440P video with your 1080TI SLI setup. Note for me at 1080P and my GTX 1080, I'm in the low 60's FPS and sometimes get up to the 70's. Worf at 1440P, as confirmed by the reviews I've seen, is able to maintain 60 FPS. It's a brutal, beautiful game.

A little more GRW. Good sniper combat, good AKA weapon close combat and lots of vehicles, aircraft and hey now I'm trying out the watercraft.



Let my buddy handle the turret gun on this one. Didn't want the bugs in my teeth. Seems to be a lot of content in this game.

Wow, nice shots... game looks sweet. Hows it compare to SGW3?

Hard to compare, seek. SGW3 is a "low budget" release. Old game engine but the content mainly as a sniper game is lots of fun.

As you see from the screenshots, the graphics in GRW are on a different level, including all Nvidia's latest goodies (turf effects, etc). The graphics are simply amazing but require high end GPUs for 60+ FPS at ultra. Good to check the many benchmark numbers on this game that are out there at different settings and GPU's. A lot wider choice of things you can do in GRW game play. It's open world and from what I'm seeing quite a few missions. Hard to tell yet as I'm just getting started but looks to me it will be quite a few hours of good fun.

I think Ill hold off on this one because of my GPU. Thanks the heads up!

At an average of 52 FPS with your GPU, seems to me it would be enjoyable. And as they mention at the bottom, you can always make adjustments to graphic quality. Your choice of course.



"The type of game you play is always relevant though, an first person shooter game is nice at 50 to 60 fps, an online shooter on a 144Hz monitor feels better at 100+ fps. And totally on the opposing side, for RPG*gaming things are different for which we are comfortable with an FPS ranging as low as 30~35 FPS. At all times if your framerate is low, you can opt to change in-game image quality settings. Mind you that we test with reference cards or cards that have been clocked at reference frequencies. Factory tweaked graphics cards obviously can run up-to 20% faster. But for the generic overview, we treat all cards the same."
