with an intel cpu with intergrated graphics you can offload a lot of the encoding to the igpu so it barely touches the cpu

What bugs me is that people won't fucking google this shit or search for a similar post in the forums here.. You can find at least another 10 like that posted these couple of months alone.

I wish fixing your life was as simple as turning it off and back on again.

Can't even remember how many times I went on to fix something trying 24 different solutions when I just needed to reboot. 

Great, now people have 27 "Which 970?" topics to choose from.

Then I highly recommend avoiding skiing accidents. I also got several free concussions with specially marked lift tickets.
Side note: i don't ski anymore lol.

I would say HOTS doesn't aim to penetrate the competitive scene. It shouldn't want to the way it plays out. It's great for casual MOBA players that appreciate teamwork. Upon first glance, what I really liked is that the community so far is not quite as toxic as LOL's. You can casually play a couple of games without any 12 year old shouting REPORTED UNSKILLED every game.

I play heroes of the storm for a bit of light fun when I have a little spare time, I don't really consider it competitive (well, sure, there is some competitivity and some skill to be had, but that goes for almost all multiplayer games). But to be honest, I vastly prefer it to lol (I haven't played much of dota 2 and from what I'm told, the time required to know what stuff does is more than I wish to dedicate to it). It's a game that knows what it is and doesn't have half-assed pretences of being a high skill game, which allows it to focus on being a fun game that doesn't take up a whole hour for a single match. I get my "fix" of competitive gaming with starcraft 2, and frankly I don't consider mobas to be anywhere near as entertaining to watch and as challenging to play (although to each their own). So from my point of view, heroes doesn't NEED to force its way in an overcrowded "competitive" scene, as long as there's a large enough player base to get matches in a couple of minutes I think it has its place. I hope it doesn't die off.

Agreed, no need to be a cunt. Everybody gotta start from somewhere.

You can't possibly think we can solve your issue by guessing whatever the hell hardware you have.

Hahahaha
 
Perhaps in the future my friend...

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Well, any sort of CAS latency will do. My CAS 10 RAM certainly ain't lacking.

So far I'm in love with every aspect of the game, especially with the breathtaking graphics (scenery etc).
I'm running the game with a combo of high/ultra settings (mostly ultra) with hairworks disabled and no HBAO+ on post-processing.
The only thing that is noticeably irritating is the rendering distance. I can almost always notice patches of grass growing 100 feet in front of me, can't seem to find a setting to change that.
Any insight?

I might have to buy this game now.

That rig is not worth 1000€. The cpu will bottleneck the gpu and for the same money, you could make a way better rig.
 
EDIT:
 
I would try snatching up that 290x if Ι cοuld.

Are you serious? Custom ofc. If he goes pre-build he will regret it every day.
