You have that backwards, larger memory addressing = less 'thrashing' as you put it.

Only if you actually need the memory. Otherwise you're using memory that other things could use, thus when you activate other applications they aren't already in memory, thus it hits pagefile. Thrashing. This is due to the Windows 7 algorithm for caching, as it treats a 64-bit .exe in a different way (ASLR etc.) that ultimately increases the likelihood versus 32-bit if the memory is not actually needed/used.

If you don't have to aim, it's not a FPS like Team Fortress or Hexen.

From the vids looks like the auto aim WOW skills.

4GB minimum on the ram, yet i'm willing to bet its a 32bit exe file.

Most likely. Although you have to keep in mind that Windows 7 takes 1 GB right off the top and then your video memory is virtually addressed, and even the minimum card is likely to be 1 GB, so right there's that's 2 GB reserved meaning the 2 GB that's left is easily managed with a 32-bit executable. In fact, it's likely to be better that way, as addressing more memory than you need only leads to thrashing (if mechanical) or excess writes (SSD) when the Windows algorithm interprets it as being a 64-bit process. Although I recall some games (GTA4 comes to mind) do perform better with 64-bit, however I feel that's largely due to poor optimization rather than any inherent advantages.

Just do a system restore to yesterday.

System restore didn't help, having the same issue. I'm just going to cut my losses and reinstall windows tomorrow. Thanks for the help all, sorry for the hijack... please feel free to discuss how $*#@ing awesome this driver is.

Both Luck and RG3 are just incredible, incredible QBs. Barring anything unforeseen, they are going to win quite a few MVPs between them.

Checks Steam. Sees DLC isn't there. Goes back to Far Cry 3.

How do I turn off the ugly as fuck giant button on my Steam UI

It's not that bad.. I've been on the Steam beta for several weeks with that button up there and it doesn't bother me. You get used to it after a while.

Why all the discussion about Win 9? Isn't Win 8 going to be a huge success for the next 5 years? I guess not

According to the sales numbers its already a bigger success than 7, like it or not.

Those aren't sales numbers per se, they are license numbers and there's a big difference between selling something at $15-40 per copy and $100+. Microsoft could coast on inertia for years anyway, numbers don't tell the whole story.

The biggest issue with Big Picture mode is that it does nothing to help with multi-monitor setups. I have a 42" HDTV hooked up as a secondary monitor but it's too much effort changing the default monitor, then changing the in-game resolution and changing over my default sound system to HDMI. What's needed is for Big Picture mode to run on whichever screen it is launched from and make all games run on that screen - as it is even if you launch Big Picture mode from a secondary display it will launch on the primary display.

Big Picture mode is a nice idea but it's useless for me, and that's despite having a wireless X360 controller and a HDTV connected to my computer. It really is niche functionality, which is obviously just to test the interface for their upcoming hardware / console.

I suspect you guys all pay taxes?

That's a lot of money you pay your government and what does it have to show for it?

Exactly.

So before you all get your panties in a bunch over $40, maybe you'll perhaps just sit this one out and give DB one last chance to do this.
