also, what is your CPU, and resolution (and game should be run in fullscreen for best results)

What bathroom do Main Battle Tanks go to?The smoothbore cannon will be directly attached to my star fish and my digestive system with be replaced with a ring-based autoloader with an internal capacity of 20 rounds. Every time I will try to defecate I will fire a high-velocity APFSDS shell. Thank you for your understanding.

I loveually Identify as a Main Battle Tank. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of driving through the oilfields shooting hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a tank is Impossible and I’m loving handicapped but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install multiple layers of depleted uranium mesh-reinforced composite armor, several 7.62mm machine guns and a 120mm L/44 M256A1 smoothbore cannon on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Abrams” and respect my right to kill at any time and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a tankophobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

alright, ill enable VBO and try again. I remember getting a performance hit from it for some reason, so I disabled it

also forgot to say, all settings and shaders were at max, with trilinear filtering in advanced options. VBO is disabled enabled

General Discussion / Nvidia vs AMD brown townysis in Blockland
« on: April 22, 2016, 03:28:10 AM »
I got my hands on both an MSI R9 390X and a EVGA SC GTX 970. the R9 390X is typically regarded as performing about ~10% better on average than the GTX 970 at 1080p, but I was wondering how well it would perform in blockland, an "indie" game (or whatever the hell you want to call it)
My test consisted of starting up a singleplayer "freebuild" server and loading up the bedroom brick build. I then climbed on top of the table/drawer with the lamp, and did a timed walk/look motion. I used FRAPS to do a frametime graph and used FRAFS to decipher and save it as a picture.
I thought Nvidia would generally perform better due to me thinking that it had superior OpenGL performance - apparently I was wrong!
(note! they are not to scale! the most relevant information is in the top left corner, with the avg/1%/0.1% times/framerates. right click -> open in new tab to see full size picture)
GTX 970 Tests
AVG - 183 FPS
1% LOW - 130 FPS
0.1% LOW - 115 FPS
AVG - 182 FPS
1% LOW - 130 FPS
0.1% LOW - 114 FPS
R9 390X Tests
AVG - 265 FPS
1% LOW - 202 FPS
0.1% LOW - 91 FPS
AVG - 264 FPS
1% LOW - 201 FPS
0.1% LOW - 99 FPS
Results
AVG - R9 390X performed ~45% better than the GTX 970
1% LOW - R9 390X performed ~55% better than the GTX 970
0.1% LOW - GTX 970 performed ~20% better than the R9 390X
Verdict
This is based off two single cards and could not be completely representative of overall GPU manufacturer performance and my testing methodology could be completely off or I might have some sort of driver issues/etc, but it seems that from my testing, AMD has better average performance in Blockland compared to comparable Nvidia cards. If you want to play Blockland with the highest average framerates, get a comparable AMD card over an Nvidia model. Something interesting to note is that the R9 390X had fairly bad 0.1% LOW results, however they are still high enough that I do not consider it to be a large problem, although it could be a problem for some. In short, AMD wins in this game.

Help / game unplayable in 4k
« on: April 15, 2016, 01:33:06 AM »
game seems to work in all resolutions up to 2560x1440, beyond that the UI doesn't scale properly and playing it in 4k was absolutely impossible due to me being able to see only the top left portion of the UI. mouse movement is also severely glitched.

« on: April 12, 2016, 01:53:04 AM »why would you constrict yourself like thatyou're constricting yourself with a smaller motherboard anyways
What's wrong with a mid ATX case? It's looks fine to meit's up to you I guess but if I had the option to make a computer smaller (since I'm already getting a mITX motherboard) I'd probably do it
a mid ATX case offers absolutely no advantage over mini ITX case if your motherboard is mini ITX. it's just plain out bigger and heavier any you limited your upgrade options anyways by using a mini ITX motherboard
