So I have the G1 Gaming... pretty big card... it's quiet as (at least in idle), and has some LED on the side. I installed GeForce Experience to deal with the drivers, is that ok?
Meh, I don't really care for tinkering.

If you use Chrome you have to turn off hardware acceleration to use a new driver, or download the 350.12 drivers or earlier if you don't want to turn hardware acceleration off. Otherwise the drivers crashes every once in a while while using Chrome. It's ridiculous that Nvidia's drivers have been so unstable since April. GeForce Experience is fine for official drivers, but don't use its recommendations for settings. Their recommendations are terrible, as if they're designed to get you to be unsatisfied with your card so you go buy a 980 Ti. Seriously, it recommends settings to run 45 fps instead of 60 fps.
Im running chrome in this box and haven't noticed anything... but then again, today was the first day I used it...
The app I'm running that needed the card went from 40 fps to 256 fps
Once I'm done with this project, I might install a game or two and see how they look.
The new 353.30 drivers are better, but still crash every once in a while when using Chrome with hardware acceleration on. The 352.86 driver crashed every 10 minutes using Chrome.
So how big of a discount are you going to give yourself to buy the card after your project is over?
the way this gig is going and what it pays, I'm starting to think GTX 980 Ti for home, tbh...
They had a demo at quakecon, which reveals some new info about the game.
I hope you can be a porn star again
Just finished Fallout 2 and damn, the city of New Reno is incredible. I wonder if that's the highpoint of the series, being a pornstar, barebacking some mobster's wife and daughter, and then killing him and his family off.

Fallout shelter came out for android today
Just getting ready to start Fallout 3, and I'm following this guide to update the graphics to something reasonably modern:
http://www.gamersnexus.net/gg/1508-f...t-mod-overhaul
What a pain in the ass to set all this up though. I wonder if it's like Skyrim where it's really easy to overdo the mods and kill your performance.
I have been playing Fallout 3 for a while now, and I like it a lot better than Fallout 2. Being able to play the radio stations on your Pip Boy makes it really ing immersive. Like you walk through one part of the map and there is the Peoples' Republic of the United States radio talking about how China is our friend, not the Wall Street fat cats. All that great 1950s sounding music on the resistance channel. Then Enclave radio with all the patriotic crap hosted by the President of the United States. Thank black jeebus for the mod for taking away the green sky though, that looked so ty.
It's a great game on it's own... and some of the expansions are great too... story-wise it just isn't as solid, but the overall experience might be better considering it's a much more modern game.
LOL, I just found out I have to activate mods in Nexus Control Center to get them to show up in FO3. Damn I have been playing this game for a month with no mods. Though I gotta say I don't like most of the mods. Like the Fellout mod completely sucks, and this is supposed to the big absolutely can't miss mod. It looks great in the daytime but it makes night pitch black, and you have to put in another patch for streetlights. But that makes no sense that you'd have every streetlight working 24/7 after the country has been blown up, and it looks like .
Even worse, I can't believe how many of the so called "must have" mods try to turn the game into a lousy FPS. I don't want to use iron sights or shoot from the hip, VATS is the most fun way to play the game and the most true to the first two games since it's straight statistically determined like in the original Fallout games. The energy weapons mod is truly horrible, I spent forever trying to get a Gauss Rifle (always the best weapon in Fallout games) and the energy weapons mod gimped it to make it almost useless in VATS, making up for that by making it a pretty good weapon aiming down sight or shooting from the hip. But why would I want the game to be Call of Duty when it has that great aiming system built in? I'm glad I failed at initially loading the mods because I would have liked the game a lot less playing it than playing the vanilla Fallout 3. The only mods worth installing are the stutter fix (the GetClockTick function Bethesda used sucks and gives microstutter), the unofficial patch that fixes a lot of crashes, the patch allowing it to use more than 2GB RAM, and the higher resolution texture patches. Otherwise the mods are pretty lame IMO and Bethesda did a way better job of it. When I play New Vegas I'm definitely only installing the mods for performance and the higher resolution textures. Oh yeah, the water mod is awesome on FO3, I'll probably install that one too in FONV.
After about a month of playing FO3 I think I have it and FO2 neck and neck for my favorite. Damn if Bethesda hadn't toned down the sense of humor in Fallout 2. C'mon Nono, how about writing a mod for FO4 that brings the porn studio and all the es' reactions back?
FO2 just has a lot of memorable moments... it's not that FO3 sucks or anything, it's a damn solid sequel, tbh...
There were no mods when I played FO3, tbh... I liked the game just the way it was. VATS was natural for me coming from FO2...
Oh man, this is just wrong that Harold wants me to kill him in Fallout 3. He was such a funny character in Fallout 1 and 2. How the did this get from Gecko to DC?
going in to see the results of the mod and trying to convince yourself you can see a difference
I thought I had some of the mods working because the sky wasn't as green as in the trailers.
But I thought I installed the mods before I even played a second of the game.
Oh well, the mods sucked except for the texture packs, those are awesome.
Finally finished the game and I loved the ing ending where you die. But then I thought the DLC was kind of stupid in that I actually survive to fight with the Brotherhood of Steel after the ending claimed I gave my life in saving the water purification project.
I don't think I'm going to put in any of the mods other than stability and framerate fixes when I play New Vegas. Especially since that game is supposed to be a little truer to the first two than FO3 was.
You should play the Operation: Anchorage and Point Lookout add-ons if you have some time... I can't vouch for the others, but those two were pretty good, IIRC...
I have done Anchorage. It turns out that's the only way to get the Gauss Rifle. It was ok, but the DLC I really liked was the alien ship. I thought that was much better than Operation Anchorage.
Don't really remember Mothership Zeta much... I do remember playing it.
