I've never had stuttering with my 970. But this latest patch did make my lighting all weird. In places with fog when I look around it flickers on and off. Never did that before this patch.
That would be like comparing PGR to Test Drive Unlimited. Open world driving games can easily break the sense of progression and get boring very fast. All I can say though is, DC is far nicer to look at vs The Crew.
It's pretty funny, but it's your standard online shooting game. You actually have to pay lame ass microtransactions for any cool weapon parts or outfits.
