    I totally forgot about this game. Good times!

    Like what? Personally I think it's a very complete game.

    When Did You Decide PC Gaming Was For You?

    Oh man, since I was a dot. My first experience of a 'video game' was on my Dads old BBC (couldn't tell you which one). It was called Pod and you used to type in commands to make the character do things. That much have been 89-90 when I was 2-3...

    What game/s are you most looking forward to next year??

    The only thing the would actually make me giddy with excitement would be Half Life 3.

    What been your favourite game released in 2012

    Hmmm for me it's a very close call between Max Payne 3 and Far Cry 3 (which I've just finished). MP3 was amazing, but I think the open worldiness of FC3 just pips it for me. Although there are a few small things that make you think 'why?', overall I think it is superb. On quite a number of...

    Far Cry 3 Thread

    Tell me about it! Just as I'm taking my time planning my attack on a base, then slowly moving through taking people out in my methodical way.....a big arse bear comes running through all of a sudden sending a horde of nasty dudes in my direction! Stupid bears! That's what sets this...

    Far Cry 3 Thread

    Are people trying any creative ways of taking bases? I'm a stealth lover, so I will spend a long time working out how I can eliminate everyone without anyone being aware, then taking them out one by one. However, having done quite a few now I'm starting to get creative. My new favourite is...

    Far Cry 3 Thread

    You're kidding?? At what frame rate? I run ultra settings on my 7950 and get solid 60 for more of the time, occasionally dipping down to 50, but as soon as I turn on MSAA, anything over 4x just kills it. At 8x I was getting like 20-25fps. Thats running dx11. A tip for those getting micro...

    Far Cry 3 Thread

    Not sure if it's already been mentioned (too many pages to read), but anyone else noticed there's only 2 character models (faces) for the Rakyat when you're out and about? Either some woman had a pretty horrific birth experience, or Ubi just didn't make more models. Seems strange they wouldn't...

    Far Cry 3 Thread

    Had another little session and loving it. It looks so damn good I kept stopping and having a look around, that is until a jeep full of crims comes down the road and I have to jump in a bush so they don't spot me. Time will tell if the formula will feel this good throughout the whole game...

    6950 2GB v 7950 HIS ICEQ

    Sounds like you've already made your decision but I'll chime in anyway. I was in the same position as you earlier this week. Ended up going from an MSI 6950 TFIII to a Gigabyte 7950 WF3 just a couple of days ago and I'm very pleased with the performance. Can't really notice a difference in...

    Far Cry 3 Thread

    Took me a while but I've finally been able to enjoy the game. Kept crashing at either first start up, loading screen, or in the initial intro. Actually turned out of be my overclock. Put everything back to stock on my card (GB 7950 WF3) and it run sweet as a nut. Weird because I played Crysis...

    Far Cry 3 Thread

    Woo, my key came bang on 6 and I'm downloading the patch now. Need to say thanks to Ricky for posting the link for the installer yesterday so I could get all that installation crap out the way.

    Maybe if I keep refreshing it'll turn up anyway :cool:

    Do we as a forum need a bit more consistency in our recommendations

    I think another contributing factor is the fact that 99% of posters will never meet face to face. The only forum I use daily is one where I have actually met a large portion of the members because of the nature of the subject (bike track days), and because people meet this pettiness rarely...

    Do we as a forum need a bit more consistency in our recommendations

    You're right that was the main message, but I bet this thread was born out of the multitude of pointless squabbles that have gone on recently. Obviously I have little authority to judge a forum I don't frequent that much, but you have to see it from a newcomers point of view. The advice here...

    which 7950?

    Good stuff mate. Got one of these babies sitting at home waiting for me so this gives me something to work from (never really tried OCing much).

    Impromptu upgrades are great aren't they?

    Alt tabbing takes a lot of time and effort, now that time loss is erased and the effort not needed, all for a small price of another monitor, I get it! :D ....I think I have a problem :cool: I'd be happy if I got anything over £100 to be honest. I think what with Christmas coming up I'll...

    Impromptu upgrades are great aren't they?

    I had a complete overhaul of my system this time last year in a long overdue attempt to get myself back into PC gaming, which I have to say worked a treat. My i5 2500k (4.5ghz oc), 8gb vengance ddr3, and 6950 came together to create visuals that couldn't be matched by my ageing 360 (I can hear...
