NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 has 1920 CUDA Cores

http://videocardz.com/60127/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-has-1920-cuda-cores

According to NVIDIA, GeForce GTX 1070 features1920 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR5 memory and TDP rated at 150W.

Just like GTX 1080, the cut-down version of GP104 silicon will be powered with through one 8pin power connector. GeForce GTX 1070 will also use 5 display connectors including 3x DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0B and Dual-DVI.

The GTX 1070 is also said to have a boost clock of 1.6 GHz. Unfortunately this is where official information ends. It is yet to be confirmed if GTX 1070 has full 256-bit interface and 256 GB/s bandwidth.

Hopefully cause I am most curious about dx12 since more games are going to come out with it. Not saying it buying it has no value cause the upgrade is still quite awesome in most games out today but I am more curious about the dx12 games out in the future. Hopefully in a month or two when Nvidia did have a chance to update their drivers, it will show a better picture.

We'll be able to get a look at the improvements when the 1070 launches, hopefully.

Also, about your Quantum Break request, testing Windows Store games is harder than regular games, with all the problems with fraps and other software.

Dxtory (2.0.134) can be support Windows Store games.

MINECRAFT PRICES ARE GOING UP IN SOME REGIONS

http://www.pcgamer.com/minecraft-prices-are-going-up-in-some-regions/

Mojang warned today that “Minecraft might be changing price in your region,” which is a nice way of saying that if you don't live in the US, it's probably going up. Don't get out the torches and pitchforks just yet, though: The increase won't take effect for another week, and when it does, non-US buyers will still be getting a pretty fair shake.

>>Because why lower the price on one region when you can increase it in all the others?

 

DARK SOULS 3 PATCH REMOVED FROM STEAM BECAUSE OF STUTTERING GAMEPLAY

http://www.pcgamer.com/dark-souls-3-patch-removed-from-steam-because-of-stuttering-gameplay/

The good news is that, just before the weekend, From Software dropped a Dark Souls 3 patch intended to finally rein in all the cheating and shenanigans that have been going on since the game released last month. The studio said on Steam that the update fixed three specific issues in online mode—being sent immediately to your world, being sent to the Firelink Shrine, and being changed in full Dragon Body Status—and promised that more problems would be solved in future patches.

 

STELLARIS DIRECTOR PROMISES BIG CHANGES AND MORE CONTENT IN FUTURE UPDATES

http://www.pcgamer.com/stellaris-director-promises-big-changes-and-more-content-in-future-updates/

We said in our review of Paradox's new 4X strategy game Stellaris that “the early game is packed full of personality, but it's squandered as the hours roll on.” Apparently we weren't the only ones to think so: In a developers diary posted today, Game Director Henrik Fåhraeus said he anticipated “a fair amount of criticism regarding the mid-game,” and acknowledged that “colony events,” a category that was “supposed to be the bread and butter of the mid-game for the Science Ships,” went neglected because "we simply took too long getting all the early and late game stuff in."

 

DISGAEA STUDIO IS BRINGING PHANTOM BRAVE TO STEAM

http://www.pcgamer.com/disgaea-studio-is-bringing-phantom-brave-to-steam/

Nippon Ichi's tactical-RPG Disgaea wasn't exactly a bases-loaded home run when it transitioned to the PC earlier this year. But try, try again, as the saying doesn't always go, and so the studio and publisher NIS America will do just that in July with the Steam release of Phantom Brave, which originally came out in 2004 for the PlayStation 2.

Ubisoft rolled out the second major Rainbow Six Siege update last week in the form of Operation Dust Line, which added a new middle eastern-themed map and two Navy SEAL operators. These operators, Valkyrie and Blackbeard, wield sticky cameras and rifle-mounted shields respectively, and Ubisoft has made a video to explain how these tactical tools can work to the player's advantage.

Is that software used by many reviewers?

It seems to work, but the fps counter on that video stays locked at 30fps (29-ish to 30-ish) because of the VSync.

Without being able to disable it, looking at the counter is pretty much useless.

Since I couldn't find the new DOOM E1M1 theme that kept to the original theme of DOOM (well the first 40 seconds do before going off onto some dubstep mash) I decided to make my own, albeit a small edit to the first 40 seconds with a tiny splice and a bit of careful pasting.

Here's the link for anyone interested and I will be making more edits as time goes on since I'm not 100% comfortable with the tune as is: https://a.pomf.cat/iemcni.wma
