So, this video's different. The majority of y'all probably expect only videos that pertain to racing/cars in general, and this game obviously has nothing of that sort. But the thing is, this channel isn't a car-specific gaming channel, it never has been. It just so happens that I enjoy racing games as a genre a lot more than most other genre. So this channel is largely racing, but I do play other games, such as this game, Nier Automata. I got it this past summer, and I absolutely adore it, so much In fact that at the moment it's actually my favorite game

Do note though, those of y'all that have subscribed to me for car-related games, don't worry about footage from this game being uploaded often; I've done everything there is to do in Nier and have gotten bored with it, so I don't have any immediate plans to upload anything else from this game

With that being said, when I played Nier on my GTX 960, it never performed very well, part of the reason being that it's optimized poorly for PC. Well, a week ago, I upgraded to a GTX 1070, and this video serves to show how the game performs now on the new graphics card. Full PC specs below:
