Vsync is off, it's something else causing the issue. Staring into a corner at everything on low shouldn't be the same frame rate as looking over the mountains with everything on high. Hair works off too ofc.

I can get 45 fps on Farcry 4 and Metro on high but Witcher 3 won't run at all on any setting.
these kinda issues are why I enjoy consoles these days...I don't have time to #### around with games I just want to play.

I bought the last Wolfenstein on PC but had an issue launching the game (I am a software engineer so it wasn't user error) After messing around with drivers and what not I just bought the thing on PS4, popped it in, and thoroughly enjoyed the game. Perhaps my frame rate, resolution, and textures were lower but at the end of the day I was happy

*shrug* I can't remember the last time I had an issue playing a game, other than driver issues when I ran an SLI setup (which for those reasons, I no longer do...for the time being).

Ac: Did you update your drivers? I know there are some Witcher 3 specific drivers available.

Yeah, I mixed it up with my Minecraft ID. It's one of the few things I didn't get the username 'TorqueDog' for.

If one looks at the other PSN ID he gave us, it does exist, but he hasn't played a single PS4 game: http://psnprofiles.com/TheTorqueDog

Hold off on getting a new Xbone controller until June?

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...one-controller

Microsoft has leaked word of a new Xbox One controller, presumably to be revealed next month at E3.

The company's own Xbox Support website has been updated with mention of a 3.5mm headphone port at the base of the pad.

Well, I'm glad to see the entire point of copy/pasting and changing the consoles names and features on dino7c's post wasn't lost on you two.


Oh wait.

good cover, you were caught in a lie...you don't have a PS4 (or have never played a game on it) just admit it and move on

No, got that.

Just thought it was funny that us two deplorable PS4 fans are actually the ones that have and play both consoles and can actually have a valid opinion on them. You don't even have a PS4 and work for Microsoft, you're the very definition of biased.

I have both since launch and I find dino7c a little annoying in this thread.

I'll be honest...I have a PS3 and not a PS4. I have no idea if I have a PSN ID or not. But I've certainly played games on the PS3. I have of course played on PS4s and would likely have one if the game catalog was good enough (and I had more time). Still prefer the Xbox experience.

For me as somebody who has both systems I actually find TorqueDog more annoying. I have no issue with somebody sharing their personal feelings about their system, but IMO he comes off as a Microsoft Sales Rep and just pushes that the Xbox can do no wrong.

Whether it has been Digital Downloads Only, DRM, the Kinect, resolution gate, or any of the other issues the XBox One has had since it's announcement he comes in here and blindly defends their product.

I can start talking about the benefits of seamless 144hz gaming if it helps.
