COD BO3 Back in Black Discussion Thread

I wasn't saying you were - I was just making a point to others that there's no reason to attack you for wanting to limit your temps since you're not telling anyone else to do the same.

 

Now now let's all calm down. We're all friends here. And remember:

 

i don't see a problem with controlling the temps as it means you give a damn about the state of your pc's components....rather than being all willy nilly!

 

As with anything, you can take it too far in the opposite direction. I don't care as long as it's under 90C since that is when it throttles.

 

now this is more like it. it was the only map i enjoyed on the previous games until they lied and stopped the 24/7 map last time.

NUK3TOWN is back! This fan favorite map from Black Ops has returned in a big way for PS4, Xbox One and PC. It has been re-designed from the ground up to highlight Treyarch’s new momentum-based, chained-movement system, allowing players to battle in this adrenaline-charged new NUK3TOWN map. Set in the year 2065, players will experience a fresh take on this classic run-and-gun, close-quarters multiplayer map.

Players who pre-order will receive the NUK3TOWN Bonus Map*, available on PS4™, Xbox One and PC via in-box redemption code.

 

This game seems better than ghosts and AW ( only Cod games i've played.) Graphics are better and i like the momentum and surprise pop ups. Different than bf4. I may get it if i get a new gpu or if they optimize it better. I could run AW maxed out at 60fps vsync. I never checked max frame rates. But this game fluctuates between 30-50 maxed out and stutters so much. I feel like i'm teleporting around the maps and freezing then popping up 20 feet in front of me. Some people say it's just bad ping from internet, but I have never experienced this in any other non cod game. It makes it almost unplayable for me. I feel like my 880m should let me easily play this game smoothly.



It's hard to see the stutter in my video because i recorded it at 60fps and then exported the video at 30fps.

did anyone else get low frame rates and stuttering/lagginess?

 

Graphics are not better than AW going by the beta. They're ballpark the same level. I'd even go so far as to say AW had better reflections and some (not all) better lighting.

I never got below 40fps on a single 780M with 353.06 drivers at stock, so if you were going below that with a "880M superclocked" then your machine was probably thermal throttling or something else. ESPECIALLY if your CPU has its OC bins maxed.

 

LOL really?

 

I think optimization will have to wait, I am running an OCed titan x but not getting more than 220fps in actual combat. I have all settings at low and running 1080p

You can unlock the game's fps by the config.ini file to 333fps or more. In the past 333fps will give you the smoothest running game and farthest jump distance but I don't know about BO3 since treyarch stated that they have removed fps dependency on the game's physics and computation logics.


Mouse sensitivity is tied to FPS though, really idiotic way to do it but you can get around it by locking your FPS to a constant number.

Surprisingly I don't feel any mouse accel, very different with BO2's mouse accel that was so bad I needed to use a 3rd party mouse .dll to fix the problem.

Not really. AW's boosting mechanics made it really chaotic and unpredictable in some maps. While BO3 has more "flow" and where enemies will show up is more predictable.

The maps really feel like BO2 maps but with "advanced movement" added in.

Wallrunning doesn't feel as fluid, you just immediately stick into the wall and you can't chain wallruns like in Titanfall. Mechanic doesn't seem as smooth.
Specialists are like destiny special abilities.

Meh, it's a decent game but it got boring really fast imo. I won't be buying it.

 

I don't know how you managed 220fps on BO3... you must be talking about BO2 or something. BO3 takes too much CPU; even totalbiscuit's 5930K at 4.3GHz couldn't hold 120fps constant.

 

I'm not too concerned about the fps. The stuttering was just the part i hated. Probably would be fixed with a better CPU ( Which i can't overclock anymore after upgrading to windows 10), ethernet vs wifi, and them optimizing the game.

I thought the vegetation and textures were sharper in BO3 than AW. Better character models too. Hopefully the next COD will be only focused on ps4/xbone/pc and not the last gen systems to hold it back.

 

Through config file you can change the display refresh rate and game FPS limiter, in the menu you can select up to 120fps but with config file you can go higher. I set the game to 333 but never came close to that number.

I am running the game with the lowest setting according to the options menu with the exception that I set the resolution scale to 1x (native).

Why can't you overclock when using win10? XTU not compatible?

BO3 is being ported to PS360 so they still have to design the game within the limitation of the old gen consoles, pretty sad but business demands more money.

 

yes, except the game is SO cpu limited that I couldn't hit 120fps on my i7. Nobody I know could maintain 120fps. How you managed to remove that CPU limitation and pass 200fps? That's the problem, and why I disbelieve you. Your CPU according to your sig is worse than totalbiscuit's CPU, and he couldn't hold 120fps constant either.

 

No idea why i can't do it. I can still overclock on my 1tb hdd that's running windows 8.1. I dual boot now and mostly do everything on my 240gb ssd now. When i'm using windows 10 on my SSD, it still says I have the prema bois, yet in xtu, it won't give me any options period.

and it's sad they have to still port it to the old 10 year old crap systems. I'm honestly impressed that DICE was able to pull off how great battlefield 4 looks considered it was ported to the old consoles. BF3 was on the old consoles and still looked amazing. BF4 was like a hybrid for the engine and made for last and next gen. I wonder how BF5 will look since it'll be truly next gen.

 

1 - You can OC in your BIOS
2 - You should update XTU

 

My internet is aids and I double-posted pls delete k thanks

 

I don't know, but I did manage 200-ish fps on MP matched (domination).

All I did was change the fps on config file from 120 to 333 and that's it. All other settings are set from game setting menu.

 

I prefer to only overclock when cooling is decent and for certain tasks like video editing. I don't like having a constant overclock

 

My thoughts exactly... @Phase really? You are excommunicated from the PCMR!! Be gone peasant!

 

This coming from the one I had to pester for months to flash an unlocked sBIOS to get more than 68W toward his CPU

 

He found a better solution: Buy a Clevo

 

HAHA very funny... I didn't flash the unlocked BIOS as I thought it wouldn't make a difference and I was correct.. I was never able to overcome the magic limit.. I wouldn't have got this P771ZM if my AW hadn't got this LCD problem.. Hardly wanted to spend about £950 on this however had no choice.. Still only made about £225 up from this... Need to sell the AW and make some more...

 

i cant overclock my cpu and gpu at the same time. i assume its the power limit

 

get a 980m and overclock it

CPU upgrade will be the last thing i do for this laptop

 

Heard there is GTX980 coming out, which used to name GTX990M ?
Would it be much much more powerful than GTX980M ?

 

A good bit. Should nearly match a GTX 980 and (except in memory bandwidth).

 

its almost time.....

 

Yes. But they way I see it, it's still not powerful enough for 4K gaming @ 60 FPS. But 980M still trounces 1080p gaming. So is it worth the extra $1000?

Also you can get a 980M SLI for less and the 980M SLI is significantly more powerful, 4K powerful. I recommend going the 980M SLI route. NBR folks have not been reporting any significant issues with SLI lately.

 

DAFAQ? Ask @D2 Ultima about that... SLI is kind of broken in quite a few games..

 

That looks awesome, I'm so excited. Hardly any homework this week too, so that means I get to play a lot!

 

I have never seen 980M SLI for LESS than a single 980. But they are distinctly more powerful.

I have been seeing SLI issues with almost every new game like crazy. I would not count on SLI as a guaranteed power improvement right now.

Also, modding tools: https://community.treyarch.com/comm...apping-tools-coming-to-black-ops-3-pc-in-2016

 

Clevo 980M SLI system I see are less than GTX 980 builds from MSI and Clevo.

 

Everywhere I've looked for the P870DM has shown it being cheaper with a single 980 versus two 980Ms.

THOUGH MSI is overpriced.

 

Pre Install available now.

 

Good thing I got a second internet connection installed yesterday, nice 250 download, ready to download this bad boy in less than an hour: http://i.imgur.com/DAMGzyo.jpg

 

Only 48GB? That's less than I expected.

It's sad that I'm HAPPY that it was under 60GB.

It's not in my list yet, I hope it shows up before Friday.

 

already bought a key...waiting for it to arrive.

 

a lot of reports of only 16gb download.
20 minutes to download for me and yup, 16gb only so looks like a staggered download in uk.

@D2 did you buy from somewhere else than steam as mines been in my library since i paid.

also theres rumours that if you bought a key then you WONT get nuketown bonus map but how true this is we wont know until friday.

 

I don't pay for CoD games. They appear in my steam library, along with their DLC, around the time they launch. Last year when AW released early, the game only showed up halfway during the day it launched in. Ghosts and Black Ops 2 however gave me about 3 days to pre-load.

 

whats the secret?

 

Maybe he has some dirt on Bobby Kotick.

 

Are you sure we won't know this until Friday? I can see I have the nuketown bonus map: http://i.imgur.com/Tp4j1wy.jpg

As long as you are able to preload, you should be able to see if you have the map or not.

 

will check when i get home.

 

I have a key on my account that keeps getting games added to it =D.

 

Arrrrrrrrrrgh matey?

 

47gb completed. game fully loaded now.
only got the base game so anyone with season pass it will be more gb.

 

Nope. Legit.

Spoiler: Here, look at the date I supposedly acquired the DLC for CoD: Ghosts

 

Perks of being a streaker, er I mean streamer
