New Nvidia cards (960 and higher) will be coming with a code for Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain. http://www.geforce.com/games-applications/pc-games/metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/bundle

Thew new Tomb Raider will arrive on PC and PS4 in 2016. (The PS4 release being one year after the original launch on XB1)

By that time, Uncharted 4 would be out for a few months. That's a tough act to follow.

It's sad, because I like TR more than Uncharted 1 & 2. Even if the sequel does turn out be a better game than U4, it's still going to be vastly overshadowed on the system.

Tomb Raider has never crossed my radar as something to look into for some reason.

So, the PS4 version may be worth checking out?  I'm a huge fan of the Uncharted series...#2, especially.

Tomb Raider's story and characters are probably worse than Uncharted's, but the gameplay is very similar yet also significantly improved. 1) You can carry all of the weapons you pick up 2) You can upgrade them and your skills (durability, capacity, attack damage, etc) 3) There's a side focus on melee, so if you like jamming a hatchet into people's skulls, and 4) It's slightly less linear, not just pushing you from point A to B like an action film. You can walk around a bit, backtrack to pick up items after acquiring new abilities and weapons.

The PS4 version is the best version IIRC (well, depends on if you don't mind Lara's new face). The PC doesn't have the added graphical affects, but it does run stable at 60fps and gets discounted to $5 regularly.

TR's game play is quite similar to The Last of Us, except with more ammo and less focus on stealth, and open(ish) map.

Maybe Uncharted 4 can adopt some game play mechanics from The Last of Us, probably not since Uncharted is faster paced.

Just spent the better part of an hour trying to get nVidia drivers to work on Windows 10. I love their organization: the nVidia website, windows update and geforce experience each attempt to install their own driver version, of which versions at least two of the three are fucking broken  poo

Holy shit, I was watching SGDQ and saw the tetris section. Holy fucking shit. Tetris The Grandmaster 3 is literally insane.

@Anetode - The version from Windows update is the one that works for me and my 780.

Haven't seen a new driver from Nvidia for a month. I imagine they're working on a driver for release with Windows 10. Hopefully all the patches on release day don't break more than they fix/add.

Just finished building a new system a week ago and would prefer if it continues running just as smooth.
Looking forward to the gaming/streaming benefits of Windows 10 and DX12.
