| 615005 | 2007-11-28 04:19:00 | i find the guys (in ANY sport) with the flashest gear tend to just be posers, and are often making up for a total lack of skill and who needs two 8800gtx in SLI anyway? i mean, seriously, and amd 5600 is more than enough for a processor and they're less than $300. hell i run a 4000 without any lag, and still have a 6600GT video card. still an avid gamer despite my lack of the absolute best gear Yeah, I would agree. Yeah. I am running a 4400+ with no issues... Though I did treat myself to an 8800GTS for my birthday a few months ago :p Being a gamer doesn't mean someone that plays games at max graphics. It means someone that is into games, and plays them a lot Well that really sums up my quote from Wikipedia :p PCtek, I have been playing Crysis on very high settings (XP tweak) on my 8800GTS with no issues (that I can see playing left handed :p), just need to know what to set things to... |

I tweaked it to. It runs OK. But it IS optimised for high end stuff. Hated it anyway. HL2 still rules. |

| 615008 | 2007-11-28 20:01:00 | Put the resolution down enough, any current generation will run current games... Only trouble is LCD native resolutions. Mine is 1650x1050, so a GTS will not cut it for Crysis on my PC |

Mine is 1650x1050, so a GTS will not cut it for Crysis on my PC my native res is 1650x1080 and im running a 7900GS. i get decent FPS on HL2 but for newer games i'd like more so i crank the res down a bit but the problem is that they dont make widescreen resolutions for games that arn't the native res. e.g. a lower resolution at the same scale as 1650x1080 |

| 615010 | 2007-11-28 20:21:00 | Quite right Jimmy.....I'm in for a completely new system now, but the other half says I have to wait until the rental property sells.......doh! | SolMiester (139) | ||

| 615012 | 2007-11-28 22:21:00 | Most, if not all new games support WS LCD motorbyclist, the trouble with WS is that they tend to be bigger than average and require more powerful cards. | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 615013 | 2007-11-28 22:53:00 | Most, if not all new games support WS LCD motorbyclist, the trouble with WS is that they tend to be bigger than average and require more powerful cards. well i do still enjoy alot of older games i'm not saying widescreen is bad, just i've deliberately not bought it to prevent problems. ironically my 20" main lcd's native res of 1400x1050 means all the in-game text on bf1942 is unreadable for some retarded EA games related reason i'm undecided as to widescreen's benefits; you can ultimately "see" a bit more horizontally, but i don't actually think it helps that much (occasionally game on my parent's 23" widescreen system) besides, i went from crt to lcd to save space! why would a get a wider one:lol: |
