At this point GMG is probably grey market too so one might as well purchase from cdkeys. The singleplayer content in this game is really interesting me.
"Some systems may get better input response with FPS Cap set just below refresh rate (ie, 58 for 60 Hz)."

I would say, no.

Is that a new thing? I've not heard anyone say setting the fps cap slightly below your refresh rate fixes input lag before.

Would you see that under DLC if you had it?
Okay, hovering around 3.1gb
So for me,
I5-3470
8GB RAM
970
The game is freezing every 30 sec or so for a while. If I check I can see 100% usage of cpu and a little over a GB of RAM unused. GPU is at ease.
I dont know what's with it, if I didnt know it runs fine for some of you guys I'd say he's trying to contact the server every now and then and freezing hard while failing to do so

Treyarch has earned a pretty strong reputation within the pc community due to always going out of their way to include options the other devs on the franchise (namely Infinity Ward) don't. From controller support to FOV sliders to dedicated servers. I think a good number of PC gamers wait for Treyarch's entries in the series to roll around before upgrading. I know I do.

That's odd. Maybe only some of the GMG keys came with it? Not showing in my DLC area, even after a restart
Didn't GMG say you won't get nuketown from them? I didn't buy from GMG.

The 100% CPU freezing is being looked into, PCDev Tweeted about it.
Yeah, GMG keys aren't supposed to give Nuketown. They even said that themselves, afaik.
Something smells fishy here. Another case of TW3?

Aww wtf? I just decided to buy it dammit. Was gonna do it in literally 5 minutes when I got back to my PC. Does anyone know if GMG usually gets stock back before release?GMG out of stock...
EDIT: But then again maybe I dodged a bullet? This Nuketown stuff is weird.

Yep, GMG Tweeted multiple times that they wouldn't be offering Nuketown nor pre-load, it seems they shot themselves in the foot.

Activision isn't on their list of official partners either... Man they are getting a bit shady.
Now I'm worried.
Great, back to indie games.

No reason to be worried

I wouldn't worry too much. TW3 turned out okay and they do have keys for EA and Ubisoft and their not listed either so it might be nothing.
Ok, good. This was literally my first GMG purchase. Sucks about nuketown, but I guess I could live without it. Btw, how are the pc controls? First time playing a CoD game on PC. Not sure how I'll manage.

Holy shit, glad I chose the 390.

did the $40 deal on GMG go away?
It says Out of Stock but I literally just got an email from them touting the deal so hopefully they get some more back in stock.
is this site legit? I would do it but it doesn't let me add any game to my cart.
8GB is what I would consider the bare minimum for 64-bit compiled games these days.
Hard drive space is incredibly cheap and you can manually adjust the pagefile to store it on a mechanical hard drive. AFAIK, the hibernation file needs to remain on the boot partition, so that's the only use case I can see. Again, storage is cheap.

Agreed!
Though when I see a report saying a GTX 980 Ti has stuttering at 1600p unless you have 16Gb of RAM even when equipped with a high end i7 I get a little worried. You're talking about a system with a lot more power than whats in those consoles. So unless the overall graphics quality is way better it seems a little wasteful to me. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

I'd say it's about on par with Advanced Warfare, which isn't a bad thing. Definitely not worse, but perhaps slightly better. I'd post a few screenshots if I were at my PC.
No, but as far as grey market resellers go, it's reputable (well, as reputable as such a business can be).

Just purchased the game from them about 10 minutes ago activated it and started pre-load on Steam without any issues.

Interesting, I didn't get Nuk3town. Do they have 2 SKUs and I made the mistake of picking the one without the pre-order bonus?
Bought it strictly for the campaign, but still.

how is the input lag with vsync on? It was horrid in the beta. Also had quite a bit of stuttering with my 970. Is the final release better?
I have a feeling gmg bought off other resellers to cover for their lack of keys? Since they are giving away the game with nuketown
use a different browser.
use a different browser.
It has much better art direction though. AW had some really silly and ugly looking weapons, weapon variants, maps and characters.

nope, only one
I ordered it the moment it went down to the $40 USD discount though, so it might have been first come first serve for nuk3town

I hope mine came with Nuketown. It'll be another few hours before I can check.
I bought it this AM so I don't have much hope.

Hmm, Steam says this unlocks in 9 hours, but it should be 3.5 as that'll be midnight in the UK, it's always a midnight release.
That's fair enough I suppose. I'm always pretty slow with inputting my payment details.
