To take advantage of the full power of your graphics card, yes, a new monitor would be required. However, if you're happy with the smoothness and performance of your system as it is, I wouldn't worry too much about it. You're not going to hurt anything and if the card can afford to be "lazy", it's probably going to last you a very long time because it's so under-stressed. I'm running my video output to a 4K 120hz TV at 1080p/60fps and I couldn't be happier. All of my games run super smooth and the graphics quality is spot on. I only see dips in my frame rate with certain titles and maps/situations. For the record, I'm running an old 650Ti 2 Gb, not the 970 beast you have...

I could be wrong, but it sounds like you have a resolution or frame rate issue.
As in, your display does not support the resolution. With a card like yours, you should have no trouble running the game at the highest settings without breaking a sweat. If your display has a maximum resolution of 1080p and you have the resolution set for 4k, that can cause the issue you're seeing because the display can't process that much data. Try playing with your screen resolution or, better yet, find out what the stats are for your display and adjust your settings accordingly.
The more likely cause is that your frame rate is going into low-Earth orbit and the display can't process it fast enough. If your display has a refresh rate of 120hz and your frame rate is closer to 200 fps, artifacts and tearing are going to be present. The solution here is to turn V-Sync on and see if it makes a difference. Yes, I know, it locks the frame rate at 60 fps, but it should help.

Unfortunately, that's how the cookie crumbles. It doesn't work any differently in regular missions. If you're dead when everyone else "gets out of Dodge", you don't get anything except XP.
The next time you run into this type of situation, I recommend sticking close to the player who is having trouble. At least that way you will be able to help them if they go down.

Nice post OP. This should be pinned. +1
I don't trade very often(hardly at all, honestly), but when I do I follow all of those rules and then some. I may have been ripped off a few times, but I try to be aware of the other tenno's intentions. I know, it's kind of hard to read online, but I have made someone's day 3 or 4 times for every time I've been screwed. So, I feel like it's worth it and occasionally, they come back later and offer me a good deal on something or ask if I have an item they're looking for. This results in really good deals for both parties.
Case in point; I was chatting with a friend who was having trouble finding an item, Paris Prime String to be exact. He had run out of Relics and his plat supply was very limited. Since it was close to his birthday, I decided to try to find it for him in Trade. Most of the sellers had full Paris Prime sets that they didn't want to break up. I didn't blame them and I wasn't going to beg for just the String. After almost an hour, I found a seller with just the String for sale. After a brief greeting, the seller told me that he/she was just trying to get enough plat for some weapon and warframe slots and any offer that I made would go a long way toward their goal.
This is usually the point where I either find gold or get ripped off. The initial offer was 12p(enough for weapon slots). I leaned back in my chair, took a swig of my tea and, returning to my keyboard, I replied, "How does 32p sound?" There was a very long silence from the other player.
"REALLY?!!!"
"Yes. That's enough for 2 weapon slots and a warframe slot. Deal?"
"YES!!! You're awesome! I'll give you another thing I was selling, too."
I tried to convince them that the extra item wasn't necessary, but he/she wouldn't take "No" for an answer. I was invited to their Dojo and I was surprised when they offered the String and a Rank 3 Blind Rage. I actually wanted that mod at that level, go figure. We completed the trade and went our separate ways. About 30 seconds after I got back to my landing craft, I got a friend request from them as well as a very nice thank you message.
Sometimes it pays to be a nice guy.

How's this for a twist...
There has to be some kind of storage device inside the robotic foe. Why not have Magnetic damage erase the memory of mechanical or robotic enemies allowing them to be hacked, turning them against their "masters"? It would work much like the hackable MOA "cabinets" that I used to find all the time. Your damage would have to be less than lethal for it to work, but it could pay dividends in late game.
-
The most frustrating thing for me is the "forced" content. Archwing is at the top of that list, followed by any game mode that makes a player team up to achieve the goal(Raid, Derelict, the Relic system).
I can not stand Archwing! I have played it since the control update, but it's still infuriating. It wouldn't be bad at all if it wasn't required to completely unlock the planets and deploy extractors. Yes, I'll admit it; I have not unlocked all of the planets because of this. If I want to play a flight simulator, I'll play a stand alone flight simulator. If Archwing was a series side missions that had no bearing on planet completion, I wouldn't mind it at all because I could ignore them and go about my way. If players want to play those missions, OK, cool. More power to them. Yes, I know, Mastery Rank, blah blah blah... Whatever, I don't care.(See spoiler for more)
I play Solo, except for the occasional PUG in the lower star chart planets(up to Saturn) to help out the newbies. That was the thing that got me hooked on this game almost 3 years ago. Any and all content could be played Solo. For nearly a year, I was free to hack and blast my way through any part of the game at my own pace. I didn't have to worry about lag or dropping my connection to the host and if I messed up, the only one I was hindering was myself. Then the Derelict nodes were launched and it's been all down-hill from there. I decided to give this game a try because DE wrote on their site that you could play Solo or team up with up to 3 of your friends. If memory serves, it was even written in that order. Now, there are things that I have found myself trading for or missing out on entirely because in order to acquire them, you must have a well developed team of up to 8 players just to enter the mission. I'm having trouble ranking up in the Syndicates because of this. I would love to see DE get back to their roots on this matter.
The last thing that grinds my gears is the grind. I play for fun, if I happen to amass tons of "Resource X" or get "Mod Y" to drop on the way, rock on. Over the past year, the grind has gotten out of control. I'm OK with new content being hard to acquire or tough to find, but lately some things have proven to be all but impossible, Hema Research for example. I understand that DE wants to give veteran players with mountains of resources a place to sink them, but that's just ridiculous.
I still think that DE is doing a great job with the game and I hope they can keep the train rolling. I haven't invested 3 years into this game to just walk away, even though I have seriously thought about it. I have stuck around because of the amazing work these folks do. Keep up the good work, DE.
SpoilerTo give you an idea of what I think of Archwing, let me just say this. If at Rank 30 DE was handing out $1000 in cash to each player and all that was standing in my way of that reward were a handful of Archwing missions, I would pass on the money and go play something else.

Hmm... I have never found a use for them in missions, nor have they caused me any trouble. I guess that's why I haven't thought about this until now. I like the idea, especially the toxic barrels. +1

These days, I log on just to help a friend out when he's in a tough spot, he's new. I don't play every day or every week or, even, every month and, to be honest, I'm getting really rusty with my game play and mechanics. That kind of brought back the challenge and, thus, the fun for me. It's OK to step away from Warframe and enjoy something else for a little while. When you come back, hopefully the fun returns. If it doesn't, just step away again. Remember that this is a game. It is supposed to be fun and take your mind off of the world-at-large. If you turn it into a "job", the fun is diminished and you eventually end up hating the work.
Take some more time off. Play something else and enjoy it. Hopefully Warframe stays in your rotation. I have a lot of respect for DE and the work they are doing for this game. I agree that there are a few thing that they could have done differently. As a player who prefers to work alone, I don't like being forced to team up to achieve a goal. I do like this game, but it hasn't been my bread-and-butter lately.

I'm using the "Dark Theme". I'm not sure if that makes any difference, but mine is still here.

For Null Star, my vote is for a Radiation proc if an orb doesn't kill. It would give her a pinch of CC in a pinch.
For AMD, it sounds good. It might be interesting to see how the damage drop off works at higher levels, though. Does it have punch-through?
Spherical hit box on Wormhole? I'm game.
Maybe I'm the weird one here, but I think Nova is in a good spot. She's very good at making stuff go BOOM; her downside is that she's squishy(glass cannon). She's the kill 'em all or die trying frame and there's nothing wrong with that in my book.

Here's the real issue...
Each shot from a burst-fire weapon(Ballistica, Burston, Hind, etc.) is treated like a single shot from a semi-automatic(Latron, Lex, Lato, etc.). The shots are timed by the current frame rate. You are playing on a console with a fixed frame rate(probably 30-60 fps), so there isn't an easy fix for this. On PC, you can reduce the screen resolution(or other effects) to speed up the frame rate and reduce this delay considerably. I have noticed it recently, especially with Latron and Lex on big or really busy tiles that make my frame rate drop below 60.
You can, sort of, work around it by stacking fire rate mods on the weapon. This is only a band-aid fix, though.
-
I was just talking to a friend of mine about this yesterday. I would love to make my crosshairs bright green or something. It would make those really long shots with bows a whole lot easier.
On a side note, it would be nice if there were other reticles(optional and user selectable of course).

ordered ram sticks on amazon which should be here on saturday. with that order i'll have 16gb ram total which should prevent crashes.
i'll update this with the results when the time comes.
Ok, now I'm going to dump some knowledge about RAM and motherboards on you.
I have never bought a brand name PC. I have always built them from scratch with hand selected parts. With that being said, RAM is offered in a variety of flavors. In my original reply I said that I have 8 Gb of Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM. The numbers after that were the RAM's clock speed and latency. The reason I mentioned it was because I made sure that all of my RAM chips were matching; having the same speed, latency and size(4 2Gb chips). On my motherboard, I have 4 RAM slots, all of my slots are full.
Did you check to make sure that the RAM that you ordered matches your current RAM in all of the statistics? I'm assuming that you have 1 4Gb chip in the system right now. If you bought the machine from a known manufacturer, there is a significant possibility that you have 1600MHz, CL11 RAM. This may or may not cause problems when you install the new chips if the new chips are faster; for example, 1866MHz, CL9 latency. In most cases, faster RAM will need a higher voltage to run at the increased clock speed, so if the motherboard detects that a slower(read lower voltage) chip is attached to the board, it may reduce the power output to all of the chips to protect that slow chip. Basically, you will not be getting the performance you are paying for out of the higher performance RAM. This will not do any damage to the new RAM.
In a worst case scenario, the machine will not boot up after installing the new chips. The BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) runs a quick test when you power the machine up. It's called the POST(Pre Operating System Test/Pre Operating system Self Test). In rare cases, like the situation I encountered a few years back, the POST will detect a fault in one of your RAM chips and fail to boot. The fix is to remove the slow chip and run just the new RAM. I did spend almost 3 days working on this issue when it happened to me, so I'm passing the information on to you, just in case. This is a VERY rare situation and I have only seen it once out of the dozen or so PCs I have built over the years.
Now, let's talk about motherboards. Again, I'm going to make a few educated guesses. I going to assume that your motherboard has 4 RAM slots. This is ideal for a quad-core processor. Each core has it's own RAM slot to use*. When I look at my motherboard, I see that the RAM slots are color coded, 2 white and 2 blue. It's kind of important to keep this in mind when you are installing RAM. The matching color slots are paired, so if I am only installing a total of 2 chips in my system, I would put the RAM in the white slots only(slots 1 and 3 in my case). If your motherboard is not color coded(or you are color blind) the slot closest to the CPU is slot 1. Sometimes the board will be printed the the slot numbers next to each one. This gives the processor predictable upstream and downstream pathways, as well as being able to use both chips reliably in one direction for faster loading times. I mention this in the event that you have trouble with a RAM conflict after installing the new chips. I know that this may not be what you want to hear, but if you can't get things to work properly with 4 or 3 RAM chips, just run 2 matching chips in paired slots. You may find that this will be faster than running 3 chips. Processors can be a bit picky at times about the RAM configuration.
I feel that this is worth mentioning as well. As far as I know most versions of Windows will not recognize or use more than 8 Gb of RAM. There are fixes out there for this issue, but it is a rather advanced process that could damage or corrupt your system. I do not recommend trying this, I have not done this to any of my machines and I don't feel that it is worth the risk.
*I know, call me superstitious, but I feel that my PCs run better with a RAM chip for each core.
TL:DR
Spoiler- Make sure that all of your RAM is matching in speed, size and latency
- If you have problems pull the old chip out
- If the issues persist, pull out one of the new chips and run the remaining pair in paired RAM slots
- Most motherboards are color coded, if not the slot closest to the CPU is slot 1, sometimes they are numbered
- Don't panic if it doesn't work. You can always revert the machine back to it's current configuration without hurting anything

quick specs update:
GeForce GTX 960*(got the numbers mixed up before)
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor 4 GB RAM (3.97 of which is usable)
1360 x 768, 60Hz
Nvidia driver version 368.81
W10 Home
Your rig is an order of magnitude(or 5) better than mine. You should not be having the trouble you are experiencing. I would look into your drivers and some more RAM.
My CPU is way older than yours(it's almost 5 years old) and my GPU is at least 4 generations old*. I'm using a toaster compared to you...
*I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64, for what it's worth.

NVIDIA doesn't play well with anything other than Intel. But not sure if you made a typo, 6-4 RAM, what does that mean, how much RAM do you have exactly?
Umm... No, they seem to get along just fine on my system.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840(3.2 GHz, quad core)
RAM: 8 Gb Crucial Balistix Sport(1866, CL9)
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 650Ti OC with 2 Gig of GDDR5(Asus Tweak running mild OC on it all the time)
I'm very happy with my rig. It runs any game I install at 1080/60 or better* all day without breaking a sweat. I have never had any major issues running Warframe with it. The one exception was with a recent update(17.5 or 18 if memory serves) that caused choppy frame rates and black screens, but that was nothing more than an outdated driver.
OP - I would try to get the latest driver and see what happens after that. If you're still having problems, a RAM upgrade is pretty cheap. Get a nice matching chip set of RAM. 8Gb+ is recommended(4 2 Gb sticks or 2 4 Gb sticks). AMD and Nvidia may be separate or competing companies, but they have to be compatible when push comes to shove at a hardware level.
*Older games run even faster. My best was Counter Strike. I managed to get 4096x2160(4k) at 120hz with all of the settings at max. The card got a little warm, though.

Hmm... And here I am at MR 10. I have enough Mastery Points to reach rank 13 or 14, maybe 15+. I don't even care enough to check and do the math. I have been at rank 10 for over a year and I feel no compulsion to go any further. If I got 20 Plat for every time I carried at team of MR15+ players in the old Void, I could have bought everything in the game 10 times over.
I feel that "Mastery Rank" is a very misleading term. All it means, at this point, is that you have played with more toys than the next guy/girl. To master something, you have to make it second nature, an extension of your body. Just because a player has leveled everything to 30 doesn't mean that they know the kit their bringing to the mission...
There are some of us who develop a setup and run with it, using Forma to increase our capabilities, as needed, until we reach peak performance. I have MASTERED my setups. Yes, I have more than one. Each one serves a different purpose. I know them. I don't have to think to use my favorite gear, it's just reflexes at this point.
I don't care about how many trades I have. I think I may have done 5 trades since that system was introduced.
Syndicate Standing, I don't play enough to see any advantage of reaching a higher MR. I usually play for about 1-2 hours per day.
Even the starting Mod Points on freshly Forma'ed gear isn't enough to make me want to go further. +20 Points on a newly Forma'ed piece of gear is more than enough to get me started.
Rank 12 Weapons don't even interest me. I have my setups and I play with them for fun. I'm not looking to vaporize Mercury with every shot or produce a singularity that can swallow a small star in seconds. Although I will admit that Opticor is a boat-load of fun.
Maybe it should be called "Swiss Army" Rank. You can be a Jack of all trades, but master of none...

Please feel free to point me in the right direction if I'm understanding this incorrectly. It's early and the coffee isn't working yet...
I say that the current system remains in place, but clicking on the circle claims the deployed extractor and then re-deploys another one with the highest HP. This way you can choose to claim an extractor and not deploy another but, it would still allow you to switch out extractors to keep the flow of materials going, as well.

I have sent a few gifts to friends in the past without issue. I have not tried it since the latest update, though. I'll give it a shot later and report my findings.

Could you make them 'milestone' log in rewards? That way they would still be something to signify a player's commitment to the game.
I almost voted, "No" until I read this. ^
I missed the opportunity to acquire these weapons by less than 24 hours. Seriously, I started playing the day after the offer ended and I'm not even remotely upset about not having access to them. These items were given to the folks who endured the headaches and bugs of Closed Beta testing. They were DE's way of saying, "Thank You" and I was not a part of that group.
If these weapons do make a return, players should have to reach one Hek of a milestone to get them. Maybe one full year of login rewards...

19 seconds...
I have made around 10 attempts to complete this alert. Every one of them has been a failure. I am opening every locker(Master Thief) and breaking open every resource canister. I have not seen a PLS module drop from anything, including enemies that I have killed. I have read through this entire thread and tried many of the different tactics and strategies that other player have suggested, but the mission ALWAYS fails at exactly 19 seconds. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have read that a vast majority of you folks have pulled this mission off without the use of PLS drops.

I'm referring to the "Sort By" menu on the far right of the image. Yours is set to "Duplicates". It should be set to "Recent" or "All".
Trust me, this has happened to all of us. Imagine how I felt when I bought Primed Pistol Gambit and when I got back to my ship, it wasn't there.

I had the same problem when I was downloading the update. However, I found that despite the error screen, the download would continue in the background if you don't close the launcher. I have desktop widget that shows network activity and even if I got that error screen, the launcher was still downloading. I actually completed the download with the error screen displayed. The catch is that you will have to restart the launcher when the download is complete in order to play the game.
Hope this helps...

I would go for the +Damage, +Crit Chance, +Reload Mod because reduced recoil on a bow is kind of pointless...
Don't take my word for it, though. My XP with Cernos is limited to leveling the series up. There may be more knowledgeable folks out there to give you better advice.
