I don't get it -- why isn't that just a setting that can be turned on and off to increase/decrease performance? So annoying! It's inherent to the megatexture technology. How much VRAM do you have, by the way? 6GB but that seems irrelevant since the console command can only be forced to utilize …

With my new Ryzen system up and running mainly playing the following: -Doom 2016. I know, late to the party. Even with 1050ti card looks great, wish I was a natural at shooters. -Witcher 2. So far only in the arena "free for all" combat. Seems easier than Witcher 1, graphics look good. -Wolfenstein …

Thanks ! Will these allow me to force Sparse Grid SSAA in some Windows XP games? I'm running a Kepler. Really I wish there was a way to do DSR in XP because some games have pretty bad UI scaling at higher resolutions.

Seems to be saved in TEMP -- looks like it is saved as a .DMP file, though. Is there any way to convert these into plain text files? I want to be able to record and share these crashes easily.

So I've tried in Windows 7 instead of the native XP and still have the issue. I've also tried replacing the binkw32.dll file with all the variants uploaded on Vogons to no avail. What's interesting is that while looking at walkthroughs on YouTube I've seen this one with the exact issue- https:// …

I've been experiencing crashes in KOTOR on its native Windows XP platform. When it crashes and it gives that "send report to microsoft" window I can click for more details and get an indepth reporting on the crash but I can't select the text to copy/paste it into a text file. Is there some place I …

The resolution is irrelevant. Besides the fact that changing to the lowest resolution of 480p doesn't correct the issue the cutscenes are always rendered at a certain resolution regardless of what it is set at for gameplay. It's just so strange to me that only some of the cutscenes have this issue. …

It's very strange since …

I thoroughly enjoyed Witcher 1. The combat was more akin to an RPG like Dragon Age: Origins or KOTOR and the styles and combat animations were far more enjoyable than what little I played of Witcher 2 which was more of a hack and slash action RPG.

I'd have to test it but I THINK my vanilla Borderlands physical copy can install but the GOTY edition required online authentication which is gone. I'm not 100% sure on the vanilla but I know the GOTY retail version is a coaster.

Right now I'm playing Wolfenstein 2009 - physical copy works fine but I'm on Windows 7. I'd love for GOG to get this. It's the only single-player FPS in the series I haven't played yet. I'm not sure why they haven't considering they've just recently released New Order and Old Blood. It was actually …

"best" winXP card is tough because some games are broken when going from the nvidia 7xxx series to the 8xxx series due to the introduction of unified shaders vs the older shader model 3.0.

I don't mod my 3dfx cards but I do put them next to one of those fan kits that install in your PCI slot. It doesnt draw power from the PCI or anything, it's just a plastic card.

Kepler is great. Not only is my $150 Titan Black severely overpowered but I've not run into a single compatibility issue even going back as far as Far Cry 1 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I'm curious if it will do frame buffer effects in Knights of the Old Republic, though.
