Far Cry 4 specs released

TF2 and CSGO keys (the ones you open crates with) are literally a sort of Steam currency with traders. You can buy them on the market (or via people who want paypal for them). Dota 2 keys are also considered, but those are not going to exist anymore soon.

Basically, if you trade keys for games you never have to worry about finding a specific trade partner when trading games (i.e. I want to trade Sleeping Dogs for your Far Cry 3). People set a price in keys, you use the keys to "buy" the game. What key trading allows you to do is purchase games from other regions i.e. Russia. 99% of games released in Russia are REMARKABLY cheaper than anywhere else. Therefore, Russians tend to have great prices on games. Take the upcoming release "The Talos Principle". This game is roughly $30 or so in every region, but the Russian price equals about $12.50 give or take. This game will likely never be region locked, so trading in keys allows you to buy the game for a little more than that (in this case 6-7 keys) as most high level traders want to make a little profit. People want them because they always sell on the market and they're just easy to get rid of in that respect. Its literally a form of Steam "money." Lots of traders also will take refined metal or Tour of Duty Tickets as kind of "change" to keys. If a bundle hits and you only want 1 game from that bundle, no doubts you'll be able to find a trader who will take a couple of refined or a ticket for it. With Steam accepting all sorts of currencies now, this opens up a lot of new trading partners. Malaysia and Indonesia have good prices on games a lot. As does Brazil sometimes. If there are price mistakes in these regions (as seen with Evolve recently) you can trade keys to get a game that had a price mistake in Indonesia. IE I got Evolve for 4 keys. You can also find traders that will take keys for games sold on other sites as well. The key here is to deal with people who have lots of rep and have built up some trust. You can't trade with just anyone and you have to be aware that scams are a possibility if dealing with things outside the trade window.

Occasionally games are region or trade locked and this happens a lot with AAA games. However, a lot of times this happens after release, so its possible to get a game on the trade market super cheap in pre-order. I cant even begin to tell you how many times Ive gotten $59.99 games for 60-75% off in PRE-ORDER. So far, as long as you activate the game before anything changes, you will not have to worry about Steam removing your access to the game. Its critical to activate games that may be locked immediately to avoid this.

I buy almost all of my games for keys now and only when a game is locked or very similar in price will I buy directly from my region's store. Its too easy to save money this way and you can get some absolute steals of deals. IE Shadow Warrior was 75% off this week. That was selling for as little as 2 TF2 keys. It was actually as little as 1 TF2 key because of a stackable coupon, but without the coupon it was still 50% cheaper than Steam price at that % off via traders.

Do yourself a favor and go over to Steamtrades and look around at the ads. Read a bit. You'll pick up on it fast.

Q6600 almost maxed FarCry 3 for me at 40-60fps, unless this is that bad a port you should be ok...I hope, we all hope.

I may be blind but you probably have a memory disorder because HBAO is enabled in both ultra and high presets :)

Higher res textures and bad optimization can up the requirements quite a lot.

Well the latest ones actually pretty good, most games see a 5-10fps difference from the latest i5 to i7, I am debating the i7, Microcenter has some damn good cpu/mobo combos...

Its more about running everything else faster with the i7 for me though, photoshop/lightroom and such...I don't use my PC for gaming only like some.
