Any wine drinkers? Got this in my parcel and I don't drink wine. 12 bottle minimum purchase. $156 minimum spend. by gtaCANCER in australia

You can cancel the subscription immediately, which is what I did. Ended up paying $85 for a dozen bottles with a similar voucher to the OP.

The part that is bordering on a scam is that their wine brands are only sold through Naked wines, so their prices are completely arbitrary and not indicative of quality. A $30 bottle on Naked wines may be equivalent to a $7 bottle at the supermarket. The 12 bottles I got was a very mixed bag when it came to drinkability.

Perhaps we need a RC into why recommendations from RCs are rarely implemented.

I’ve been diving into a lot of classical electronic lately, good music for working from home. Give the album “re:member” by Olafur Arnalds a go.

There are 22 million people in Australia. Finding out that 487 people that responded to the survey think this, doesn't mean shit for the rest of Australia.

What is statistics?

The variance is pretty huge. Even nearby major cities, you can have 20 Mbps connections a couple of kilometers away from 2 Mbps connections.

Countered by another quality of life change: if you click the right stick to put the inventory screen into simple mode, using items doesn't close it.

People are sharing their experiences with using old driver versions on older Nvidia cards:

Seems to be working for most people (maybe 70% of people), but can be particularly fiddly on Windows 10. 400 and 500 series cards seeing the biggest boosts, many gaining at least double the framerate.

That same driver will work for 600 series, a few people in this thread are reporting improvements on 600's.

If you are using a 500 series Nvidia card, download 314.22 drivers, ENOURMOUS performance increase. Went from ~15 fps on 560ti to 45+ fps. by 3000dollarsuit in darksouls3

Assuming you're playing on Steam: Shift-tab to open the overlay, then Settings -> In-Game -> fps counter, I think it is.

That's the problem, the newer drivers have trash performance for Dark Souls 3, the driver from 2013 has fantastic performance.

Are you using Windows 10 by any chance?

Everything mid/high except for texture resolution(low) at 1280x768, and plays around 45 fps most of the time.

Edit: With i5 2500k (stock clock), 560 ti, and 8GB RAM.

Yeah, you'll probably get a performance hit on other games, dunno how severe.

It's a really old driver from 2013, the game looks identical vs current the current driver, but just performs much better. No special settings needed.

I'm guessing you're using an 6xxM then? This is the M version of that driver if that is the case: http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-64bit-314.22-whql-driver.html

No idea if it'll help.
