Is there a high-profile game that has come out in the last two years that doesn't have issues with ATI/AMD cards? Why do people still buy that shit?

When I was building my most recent box, virtually everyone was telling me to get an ATI/AMD 78XX or 79XX. From stupid reddit to other forums to even the overweight guy at the retail store where I picked up some of the parts.

I actually considered it briefly. But then I remembered that I've been using nVidia parts for over a decade now with absolutely no issues across 2 OSes. So yeah, GTX670 it was.

That's what I keep telling Chunk while he's pointing out supposed benchmark scores and prices compared to Nvidias. I'm like ye, if only they worked in games.

you want a 660ti ? when the 7850 costs the same !, I havnt had driver issues with ATI cards since rage 128 days and the 9600pro was my longest serving and most reliable card I ever had !, Nvidia on the other hand stopped giving 2 shits about their consumer long ago, couldnt play BF3 because they completely fucked up a driver and this is from a former fan boi

I'm digging the crossbow so far in the DLC. It shoots far, seems more accurate than the bow, and is more powerful than the bow (my steel crossbow is more powerful than my ebony bow [no smithing perks]). It shoots more slowly than the bow because of the reload, but it's more fun to shoot because it's more natural to have the arrow shoot when you press the trigger instead of when you release it.

I can't really say much about the story without spoiling it, but so far it seems pretty good. Though I heard there's 10-20 hours of gameplay and I've only played 4 and haven't been rushing or anything so I shouldn't rate it yet with so much more to play.

I had some perks in archery already for sneak attacks, but the crossbow is making me think of making it the focal point of my build, seems pretty good for every situation besides for close quarters, even medium range isn't too bad cause I have that perk that slows down time when you aim.
I'm not sure if vendors are going to start selling bolts like they do arrows, I would think they would. I've been to the Drunken Huntsman a few times (that archery store in Whiterun) and they haven't had any, but it could be just bad luck.[edit2: turns out you can buy them at ft dawnguard]

[edit] Unrelated to the DLC, but not worth making a separate post for: Does anyone know if those guys on the run who give you items and tell you to hold on to them ever come back for them? I've had two pieces of armor taking up space in my inventory for what feels like forever now, but I haven't sold them because I'm hoping the guys eventually come back to get them and give me a good reward or something. Luckily they're both light armor gauntlets so they're not very heavy, but it's still a pain when I find something that would sell for a lot in a dungeon and it puts me just barely overweight.

No one else has played the DLC? I know it's only available to 360 users as of now, but I thought the 360 players would have tried it out. It's $20, though, which is a lot for DLC.
[20 hours later] Anyway, I've played a fair bit now. Haha, in fact, my actual game hours are inflated quite a bit from me not knowing certain side quests were infinite. Lol, I was getting frustrated turning in the same quests over and over in a seemingly endless cycle only to find out that certain side quests are, in fact, endless. They just send to you to different radiant locations to perform more or less the same objective. I'm playing the Dawnguard side and so far everything is really cool.

I can't say I like having a mandatory follower too much though, it ruins my guerilla attack style of play, but as long as I can get rid of her when I'm done it's cool. The crossbow is still amazing, I've read lots of bad reports about it, but it's replaced the bow for me. Crossbows shoot slower than bows, the reload is slower than the draw with most bows, but it is more powerful. It also seems more accurate because the bolts have less of an arch to them than the arrows have and the bolts move faster than the arrows. The crossbow is louder than the bow - meaning enemies are more aware to it when you fire, but I haven't had a problem still making it my sneak attack weapon of choice.

If your bow is your primary means of damage I could see how you would be disappointed, but for those like me who only use the bow for ranged combat sneak attacks, or for openers before switching to melee, the crossbow is amazing.

All in all, the crossbow seems balanced, which is amazing considering most DLCs make new weapons over powered. The fact that the crossbow not only shoots slower, but is "louder" is great. It makes bows and crossbows viable for different types of builds.

The mandatory quests so far have been very cool - while the landscape of Skyrim has always been a beautiful open world, you'd be missing out if you were to simply run through the dungeons in the new castles and what not.
