What are the studies mentioned in the video? I'd be interested, but I can't seem to fin anything in my very short google session

So I just bought a i7 6700k in a bundle with a motherboard and I also bought some DDR4 ram. I hope it'll fix the issue. I think it should since it's going to be pretty much a new pc. If it works but the gpu still doesn't work then I guess I'll just have to buy a new one as well, but I'd like to wait at least 1 year before needing to change that.

Well I was saving for an upgrade anyway just wasn't excepting it so soon. I feel like it would just be easier to upgrade my motherboard/cpu now and just forget that whole issue. I'm looking at my options right now. I'll probably go with a i7 6700k in a bundle on ncix

I guess at this point my only solution is buying a new motherboard and cpu since I don't think I can find a new board with my socket. I just hope I only broke my motherboard and not my gpu.

No that's my problem I don't have anything else to test. I did do a memory check and it came out with no errors. No problem my post was very long. Yup I do think playing around with the inside of the pc caused more problems but I do think it was bad even before that because I started having issue without even playing around in it.

As I said in my very long post I did try a clean install. My new ssd has a fresh version of windows 10 on it and it still doesn't work. That's why it feels like a bad motherboard. I'm at school now, but i'll try hardware diagnostic as soon as I get back.

I had something similar happen to me before. The issue was that my PSU was faulty. So while the theoretical load was fine. It couldn't actually handle it. Have you tried a different PSU?

This is going to be long so please bare with me. Last week I got tired of seeing my C: drive with barely 10GB left on it. So I ordered a new Samsung 850 EVO 500GB. After receiving it I cloned my old drive on it expanded the partition (had a lot of trouble with that since I never did that before) and it worked fine. The next day I tried updating to Windows 10 anniversary edition because I couldn't do that before because my drive was too low on capacity. It kept refusing to install saying an error message about some device not being compatible. I searched the web and tried a bunch of things. Turned off a couple of things turned on other (it doesn't really matter anymore since this drive doesn't even have that particular install of windows on it). After that some people suggested unplugging everything that might be causing an issue. So I unplugged everything and it still wouldn't work. Finally I tried unplugging my graphics card and it finally worked. That's when the problem started. I plugged back the gpu and tried booting and it didn't worked. After reading on the web a lot about how the update was fairly buggy I decided to simply cancel this project and go back to my stable install. So I cloned my old drive again because I just unplugged it before so it was exactly the same as before. Everything worked again so I was happy. Then last night something happened. I don't know what though. I played Deus Ex Mankind Divided (great game btw) most of that evening. While playing I did notice some visual bug I didn't see when the game launch but nothing close to what a dying card usually sees. After closing the game I was hungry so I went downstairs to eat something and when I came back to my room my whole computer was frozen. The only thing I could do was move the mouse, nothing else worked, no ctrl-alt-del, nothing. I tried pressing the power button and it would not close. So I forced it by holding the button. I then decided to go on my old drive and download the iso of windows 10 on a usb stick and try to repair my install with that. After that things only went downhill. While I was downloading it or maybe while it was installing it on my usb, I don't remember exactly, the same thing as before happened. Everything froze I couldn't do anything. I started to panicked a little. Now I'd like to mention while I do not have backups of windows I do have most(anything I would never want to lose at least) of my data backed up either in the cloud or on external devices. The only thing that would happen if I have to do a complete reinstall is that I would have to install everything again and download my games/movies/tv shows again. That's not so bad I don't really have anything on my c drive anyway so even if my windows install is fucked the data is still there on my other drives. Again losing those drives only mean losing time downloading all of it again. I then used my shitty old laptop to download windows 10 on my usb stick and it worked. I managed to install it on my most recent SSD but only when the gpu is not plugged in. After that I could still access my computer on both my old SSD and my new one, as long as the gpu wasn't plugged in. I could boot in safe mode while the gpu was plugged in though (again on both drives). I tried installing Ubuntu and it managed to boot with the card plugged in, but it felt slow and I couldn't set the resolution to my ultrawide aspect ratio. I suspect it did something similar to safe mode and bypass the gpu somehow. Alright here's what I tried after that. At this point I can't even boot as long as my gpu is plugged in so I assume the gpu is the problem. I have an old 9800gt lying around so I tried booting with that and it worked. It only worked on the fresh install though not the old one. After trying out a couple combinations of old gpu, new gpu, old install, fresh install, now it just can't boot. It shows the windows logo and starts the loading animation and just freezes there. So at this point I think that I just killed the two gpu because I wasn't careful enough while plugging/unplugging them. I then booted on my old drive with no gpu and cleaned everything I could. Malwarebytes/windows defender scan, ccleaner cleaning and registry fix, scf /scannow, DISM (somehting) /Restore-Health. I then tried again with the gpu and it still wouldn't work, so I just assumed the worst and almost bought a new card. Then things started to be even worse. I booted on my old drive with no gpu and now windows couldn't even see the network card and the time was completely wrong, it also sent me a notification saying the security center was turned off (which I never turned off, at least not knowingly). I tried it in safe mode and same thing happened. Now I tried it on my fresh install and the network card is seen but the time is still completely off. I'm currently typing this on that os so clearly internet works. I'd like to mention that when I say that the pc freezes when I boot it with a gpu all my peripherals led also turned off. I also tried multiple pci-e slot on my mobo. So at this point I'm not sure if it's simply that my motherboard is slowly dying or do I need a new gpu? The time issue is probably related to the CMOS battery dying or just the whole board dying since having something plugged in any pcie seems to make me unable to boot. My current specs are in my signature, but I'll type them out anyway: CPU: i7 3770k (was OC at some point but not right now) CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i RAM: 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600(I think) GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 970 Power supply: EVGA SuperNova 750 p2(it's like 4 months old I had some issue with my old one. I don't think this could be the issue and there is more than enough power in that) Old SSD boot drive: Crucial m4 128gb New SSD boot drive: Samsung 850 EVO 500gb(less than a week old) Windows 10 64bit was used on both drive If you need anymore information just ask and I will give everything I can. Sorry if this is hard to read, English isn't my first language and I haven't been able to sleep properly for a few days because of this.

When you fall down you can press your jump button to roll. And for the moving around I don't know exactly what is your problem but to me it feels fine. When you want to do fine movement out of combat you can just press toggle to walk and it will be fine. What I understand from other people complain is that geralt isn't responsive because he basically has animations that are too realistic. He won't stop instantly because of his inertia. He will have to slow down and stop, but during combat when he rolls or move around it's pretty responsive. The inertia thing is mostly an issue when out of combat.

I'm not being an apologist it's just that you call for a boycott on something that is enttirely optional and that creates no issue whatsoever. You acted like nvidia and cdpr are worst than hitler because they used gameworks. Every part of it is optional and is in no way needed to enjoy the game. So stop saying bullshit and don't call people apologist when they are just saying facts. If nvidia does something bad I'll gladlytalk about it, but here they, and cdpr, did nothing wrong by including gameworks

You think there's no jump in quality between 2 and 3? Maybe visually sure it's not that much compared to 1 to 2, but gameplay wise. Dude everything is better the quest are not only better but the side quest are miles better than any modern game at least. And the world itself feels way more alive than in 2 well it was pretty good in 2 but it's definitely better here. To me at least, I was barely liking any recent RPG and I just can't play those really old ones that are classics because I was never raised playing those game and the gameplay just dones't feel right. I agree saying it's the greates game ever is a bit of a leap, but it's definitely up there. btw you can turn off those question mark and it makes the exploration even better because you don't actually know where to look so you just look around and you stumble on hidden treasure and it's great.

Dude just disable it. Here. Done. Fixed now. You can go back to playing the game. Gameworks isn't doing anything bad. It's pushing nice feature based on nvidia architechture. Do you honestly expect nvidia to design new stuff around their competitor hardware? Of course not. This would be ridiculous, they are a buisness not a charity. Nvidia wants to puch technology forward, but they can't if they have to adapt to other completely different architechture. The reason why it runs badly on AMD isn't because nvidia doesn't want it to. It's because they designed it with their hardware in mind not AMD's hardware. It would be cool if they open sourced it so AMD could make it work on their gpu aswell, but they have no actual reason to do this. At least not from a business perspective

Are you just a troll or are you serious? The witcher 3 is not a flop in any way. It's one of the greatest rpg ever made. The combat is fantastic and the story is too. The side quest are also great and ther's no fetch quest liek there would be in normal RPG. There's nothing wrong with gameworks as long as it stays optional. It hads nice graphical feature if you want to otherwise you just turn it off. It's people like you that turn gaming into shit. Not understanding how games are made then complaining and boycotting every company. If you don't like this hobby just find another one People please stop saying the game runs like shit and isn't optimized. That's not how it works. If you want the game to run better maybe you need to turn off some feature. There's only so much you can optimize as a dev until you have to simply cut back on some visual features. Also stop comparing modern AAA to old school game. Of course it was easier to release game at the time. Those games were nothing compared to the size of modern AAA. There is so much more people involverd in creating just one game it is bound to break at some point when you have somehting that big. And to the guy that said black desert looks better, I'm sorry but while it looks good while playing the witcher 3 looks better. GTAV looks good on pc sure but seeing the witcher 3 in movement is miles better than GTAV. When I play GTAV it's pretty clear where they cut corners. Just look at the modeling on the npc that aren't the main characters, hell even the main character aren't as good at what a standard npc looks like in the witcher 3

Dude what game are you playing. it looks great and run at 60 fps on my 670. you should probably update your driver or something because COD:AW is not a bad looking game. It's not star citizen but it's still good looking
