I'm wondering how fast Ubisoft is going to patch ANNO since EA let Sim City die pretty fast.

I doubt they'll bother, specially with DLC being made and a possible PS4 version on the works.

I mean, they didn't bother to fix the problems Far Cry 4 and WatchDogs had with AMD cards (I don't even know if FC 4 finally supports CrossFire or still doesn't), and both are far bigger games than Anno.

Btw, I watched a gameplay video from Anno 2070 and, besides the different setting, it's quite similar to Anno 1404. I would even say that it can be a little easier than 1404. It can be an alternative if you don't want to bother with 2205 because it still looks good and doesn't have UPlay.

 

@shakarak: I really thought Nvidia had fixed the problem that caused Kepler to perform poorly in The Witcher 3. I'm surprised they haven't.

This is why I wouldn't get a 970 despite its great price/performance. Thanks to its silly 3.5+0.5 memory setup, it relies on special drivers to perform at its maximum, and given how Nvidia has treated Kepler, I'm not sure for how long they will keep doing those special optimizations.

 

@Basil: If you're talking about DDR3 then the limit is 32GB kits (4x8 modules), at least that's the higher I've seen.

 

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are Sales that don't happen here... or at least didn't happen. Last year there was an online PC parts site that did something similar, so I'll keep an eye on them. But to be honest, I only need a better graphics card and unless I find a really great GPU sale, I think I'll wait until Artic Islands and Pascal are launched.
