Only 2h to go until FC5 reveal :)

Will you post any news about the game or will you leave that to me with the news posts?

Dunno. If I can find the time I'll probably make a thread before the stream.

Part two of the news:

 

Call of Duty: WWII will not have a single-player Axis campaign
http://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-wwii-will-not-have-a-single-player-axis-campaign/
Developer Sledgehammer Games has previously said that the new CoD will take a more nuanced look at the war, and the era in which it was fought, than previous games, with depictions of "things like racism, religious persecution, and sexism," and of course the horrific atrocities of the battlefield. But it will not, as studio co-founder Michael Condrey said on Twitter, feature any kind of Axis campaign.

Hacknet now has modding tools, so you can create your own campaigns
http://www.pcgamer.com/hacknet-now-has-modding-tools-so-you-can-create-your-own-campaigns/
Hacknet was a great – and surprisingly popular – hacking sim which not only simulated the process of hacking, but did so using real methods, such as the deployment of UNIX commands. Since then the game has received a major campaign update in the form of Labyrinths, but its latest addition includes the ability to make your own campaign narratives.

http://www.pcgamer.com/gta-online-drops-details-and-screens-for-incoming-gunrunning-update/
When GTA Online's shopkeepers mysteriously abandoned their stores en masse earlier this month, Rockstar failed to explain why. Perhaps they wanted better conditions, or at the very least less holdups. Maybe they were selling dodgy guns, in preparation for the city-spread sandbox's next Gunrunning update—who knows.

I still have trouble with it. Just today the driver fucked up yet again out of nowhere. Was watching a stream when all screens froze, had to hard reset. When I booted I had no connection on 2 of my screens and the 3rd one was just fucked up. Had to tinker around in the UEFI a bit until Nvidia decided to load the driver properly again. I know I have quite the unique monitor composition but that's no reason for the driver to fuck up that much.

As someone who has bought pretty much only AMD GPU's since the Geforce 7 series roughly a decade ago... It's also been difficult for me too.

I find that nVidia's multi-monitor support isn't as mature as AMD's. AMD got it right with the Radeon 5000 series and kept it that way.
They do tend to beat AMD on game support with drivers ready for most big releases though.
