    Past GPU releases: fillrate is king and your drivers are cheating

    Again, read the comment you're quoting: Point being, the vast majority of nvidia owners don't even know profile inspector exists, and as it's third-party, who knows how long it will continue to work. Anyhow, thanks for demonstrating once again that putting you on ignore was the best decision...

    Past GPU releases: fillrate is king and your drivers are cheating

    Star Wars: Outlaws - Open World RPG Coming 2024?

    Man, the final set of missions beyond the point of no return are long. Set aside a couple of hours if you want to finish them in one sitting. Having finished the story campaign, I can only echo the comments about the world getting the "Star Wars" feel right. Also a big fan of how they handled...
