Eh, DR3 runs at 60fps with a 970 at max settings at 1080P.

This is funny. Because from cdkeys the producer still gets some money. Buying from fellow gaffer means $0 for the producer.

Are you absolutely sure about this? Cuz it definitely isn't even on LGA 2011-v3 beast of a machine with two 980s.

I sure believe that. I have the game and I can't sustain 60fps, on a 980.
It drops to the 30s for some reason pretty everywhere.
So you're saying NVIDIA stole keys from Square Enix?

Are you saying you have footage of this?
1080/60fps isn't amazing.
I was getting 90 FPS on MGS V and The Witcher 3. Both far bigger and better looking games.
Are you saying you are buying the keys from NVIDIA?
NVIDIA pays SE for a no. of keys which are bundled with the cards.
So practically the owner of the card buys also a game key.
You buying from the card owner instead from a store (more or less legit) brings no money to SE. You buying from cdkeys still brings some money to SE.
Instead of having 2 sales, they get just 1.
Kataku:
Neogaf sources say there is a video of Nvidia breaking into Square Enix headquarters and stealing Tomb Raider keys

Double dipping for sure now.

No, it doesn't. It produced money on the first transaction, when he bought the GPU. There nothing on the second one, everything goes into the pocket of the GPU owner.
Downsampling from 4K is truly a revealing experience, especially when asset quality is high.
But no doubt it's going to take quite the monster rig for that level of IQ.
The game should already look very good at max settings.
Oh shit windows 10 games will get achievements? Damn. I wish all the PC games I had got gamerscore instead of steam achievements.
Might get this for Windows 10 then.

i will purchase this game for my pc
That's one of the benefits of Windows 10 store games (that have the Xbox branding). Note, if you do have it on Xbox already, those are the same achievements (can't double dip). Steam achievements never seemed the same to me either (nor PS trophies...) I guess since I started them on Xbox 360 (still missing some from my original GT...damn you MS messing with my shit).
Similarly: Everything you pay on 'key' sites goes to owners too, since they already paid for copies where ever it was bought. (Since key sites are based on reselling third-country keys at higher prices).
Not all, only xbox-branded games.

Of course, because they already got the money from the copy. He's what you don't understand, I'll take you cdkeys exemple:
SE gives keys to cdkeys. You buy your game from them. SE only gets money at this moment.
SE SELLS keys to Nvidia. You buy your GPU and get the game with it. SE already got the money before you had your key. So whatever you do with your key is your business, it's been bought already. If you sell it, you don't own it anymore, so it's not a lost sale because the copy was ALREADY sold.
Nvm reading through the thread that's pretty cool.

Why are people so wary of cdkeys out of interest?
I've been using them for going on 3 years now and never had a problem that wasn't easily resolved by them.

Im in, like a bin, owned by huckleberry finn, which is full of sin, and an empty tin.
Instead of 2 buyers for 2 keys you have 2 buyers for 1 key. 1 buyer is guaranteed anyhow, because he buys the card and implicitly the key. When you personally buy it from cdkeys you pay $20 (assumingly) to SE too. When you personally buy it from a new GPU owner you pay nothing to SE. The new GPU owner buys a key (and pays something to SE) in both cases.
I can't make it easier than that and I think this discussion anyhow is maybe not the best to have in this thread.
No, CDKeys is basically like a person selling the key in the BST thread. In both cases, SE gets paid only once.
They are not authorized to sell keys so publishers can revoke the game from your library at anytime.
It's not the same damn key.
1 key with GPU. (that it is sold no matter if you buy it from the GPU owner or not)
1 key from CDkeys.
Unless you say that cdkeys sells GPU keys.
Perhaps some people specifically don't want to give SE any money after how badly they fucked over their fans with the exclusivity deal. Why reward them for that?

Does cdkeys give you an instant key or you have to wait?
I'm saying buying from CDKeys is the same as buying from someone in the BST thread.
Both get one key:
one buys it from retail (giving SE money), then resells it.
one gets the key with their Nvidia card (SE already got paid by Nvidia), then resells it.
I know there are exceptions, though, like apparently some of these key resellers sometimes being supplied by the publishers themselves en masse in order to meet a sales goal or something. That's according to one person here who claimed to sell (I believe) on G2A, anyway.
Depends. I'm assuming you'll have to wait if you pre-order right now.
You reward them for greenlighting a game and investing the money needed in it.
If no revenue goes to SE and it becomes a commercial failure then they won't push a high budget tomb raider again for quite some time.
But that's none of my concern ofc.
You'll have to wait for launch. As they arn't authorized.
Will bite on the Win10 version for doubling up achievements
I wonder if it'll be like GFWL and give you double achievements, or actually count you as having completed the game already.
It's already been confirmed it will have it's own seperate achievements from the 360 and XB1 version. (the Win 10 version that is, Steam version will have Steam achievements)
Ah cool. That's a good move seeing as how it actually does get some people to double dip.
So the exact same shit as cdkeys then? It only "produced money" on the first transaction, there's nothing on the second one, everything goes to the pocket of the GPU owner. Well, shit, I guarantee you that the cdkeys keys will pass through by many more different hands than the nvidia ones.
