    It's a concept so complicated therefore I'm afraid your head will explode once I try to explain it...

    On topic: GTA IV with iCEnhancer 3.

    Did they end up patching the launch issues? I stopped playing because I ran into so many issues.

    Didn't I already answer that question?
    So far there has been only one patch released post launch. It fixed few things, but also introduced some other bugs.

    I'm just impatient is all. Heard about the main patch, but didn't know if they were incrementally fixing things or just waiting until they had a lot of stuff to send out.

    Genius? Ha! I barely have two brain cells to rub together. I love my UX303LB. It's not real great for gaming but better than any integrated crap. it can handle older games fine, and even many of the newer ones if you're OK with low resolution and framerates.






    There should be some new versions coming this year I suppose with the GTX 1040 or 1050 though. Personally if you can hold out for those I would.

    Mass Effect 3. Yes.. you read correctly. I never finished it when I was playing it on the 360. Now playing it at 4K with the SP Controller Mod. Looks fantastic.

    I'm playing it with a wireless windows 360 controller so cant say how it goes with keyboard and mouse, it does run well in general though, some scaling issues that a mod fixed but other than that runs well.

    Mass Effect Andromeda with the occasional run of Overwatch. As a completionist, Mass Effect is taking loads of my time, lots of things to do and explore. Beautiful graphics too! But playing it slowly, not too fast since I'm getting a new laptop with a GTX 1080, would like to see how it runs on ultra! :D

    ARK Survival Evolved with my kids (need another PC or two so we can coop). Pugnacia mod plus a bunch of quality of life mods.

    Also GTA V first playthrough.

    Somewhere in the background Dragon Age Inquisition. No rush, hasn't been five years yet.

    Currently working on a gameplay overhaul mod for The Witcher 3. Modding alone can be fun, so I guess that can be considered a game ;)

    I like stealth type games. I really enjoyed Sniper Elite 3 too, and this one looks similar, except a little more variety for run and gun if you want to.

    trying sniper ghost warrior 3 and it doesn't seem to run that well at 1080p on high settings....900p on high is doable and looks good still.
