Nah, I'm a PC gamer to the core, it's true. But I can definitely see why people are console gamers only. This shyt would piss off the most patient individual. At least with consoles, you just plug it in and play and it works. I've been jumping through hoops for like a month now. At some point you gotta look at yourself and be like, what the fukk am I doing?

Fortunately I like tinkering around with shyt, but this is becoming a bit absurd. I literally have no idea what the fukk is wrong with my shyt right now. I don't have unusual bottlenecks, but games that should be 60fps at ultra, like borderlands 2 and skyrim, are dropping in frames for no fukking reason (the gpu utilization goes down but the cpu utilization doesn't go up). I'm completely lost.

This better just be a fukking windows 8.1 issue. If not, I dunno what the fukk I'm gonna do. I have no idea how to fix this shyt. I'm

PC gaming is doing me dirty

I had a similar issue a long time ago when I built a hackintosh and had a GPU issue. It drove me nuts, so I know what you are going through.

I also went through a small stretch in where I was doing a radeon + nvidia physx and that was too much work for what it was worth.

You will grow from this

I hope so. I'll either grow from this or become the biggest PC game hater in the arcadium. I know too much

i had a camera in my booty last summer.

I had a camera up my ass early this year, and they couldn't knock me out because of meds I'm on. I felt all that shyt

The camera up my dikk actually hurt less, if you can imagine.

I'm getting probed from all angles. Life is terrible right now.

Turning off trash ass geforce experience improved fps drops in borderlands 2 a bit


EDIT: Turning off geforce experience improved my performance immensely in other games as well. I can play on ultra with physx on in AC:BF now, all at 45+ fps.

Skyrim has also improved


fukk Nvidia Geforce experience? fukk Nvidia for forcing that shyt on me?


Now if I could only get my sound card to work and this fan to stop blasting at 5000rpms.....

Good to know you fixed your issues. I'm on Radeon so I'll check back into Windows 8 and see if that was the issue.

I'm still staying on seven though I need my emulator speed.

The issues aren't fixed completely, but they are much better. I guess nvidia experience isn't meant for 3 monitor gaming or something. DX9 is still a problem compared to DX11 and so is watch dogs (but I guess that is to be expected).

I still may go back to win 7 if my sound card problem isn't fixed. It's a damn shame about this fukking sound card. Nothing I do fixes it. The sound just cuts in and out for no goddamn reason

do you really need a sound card?
i got rid of mine last year when it started acting funny and just use my onboard audio...works just fine.
one less peripheral to worry about if you don't really need it, i don't know if you are doing any audio work.
then i could see fighting for it.

was shadowplay running? I can't think how geforce experience would effect you otherwise
