microsoft demands you buy a new xbox :P
bots bend over before your overlord.
295gtx is a dam awesome card.. so is the 4870x2 i got at the moment.
though i really want dx11.. the wait is bad lol.
another milking squad... why?
werent 2 enough?
getting mine in like 15days :(
so much wait.. with dirt2 on preorder.
wonder why i got a disagree.. oh well.
but will it be HD this time (aka 1080p?) oh wait lets be easy on the poor milkbox make that 720p.
probably waiting authorisation from sony :P
pc updates see no such delay.
No wonder microsoft gets away with treating xbox users the way they do.
50% fail rate console (havent seen any hardware in history fail so bad)
overpriced games
expensive accessories
charges to go online
all that while playing sub hd games on even their exclusives.. yet they still think they are getting a bargain... /sigh
yep my bad.. i just checked out the tomshardware review of 5870.
in crossfire it manage to run crysis at 28Fps.. but this is with 8x AA 2560*1600res.
i guess the 5970 will be pretty close to those results, 4x AA being much faster.
though notice the 295gtx on this benchmark.. it cant play crysis on those resolutions with that much AA because of memory limitations.
agreed for most games.
though crysis @ 2560*1600 4x AA.. will probably need more then 1gb per gpu.
i know i know.. its just one game.
haha dragon age should come with a warning..
once you get started.. you just cant stop.
imo this game should be played over a long weekend or holidays.
i played my first run as a shield and sword warrior.
my group make up was 2 mages (one being dps other being healer)
and a rogue though the rogue was ranged. i wanted to keep the entire group asides the tank ranged so the mage could aoe without doing too much damage to ...
must feel great buying microsofts overpriced accessories...
oh wait replacement consoles too due to various reasons.
imo dragon age has a lot of work in it. 60hrs atleast for each play through.
dont see how it loses against a 5hr campaign + mp which is awefully simular to mw1.
mw2 is more like a 60usd dlc.
@ tex117
agreed you cant compare the two.. though dragon age does have the best story telling from any rpg i have played. there just is too much work in the game so many cut scenes etc. Bioware have presented us with perhaps the best rpg of all t...
which is still superior to the 360version ;-)
so i guess 360version is even worse.
though everyone knows this game requires a mouse + keyboard. The pc versions a different game.
amazing how much power you can have for such low price.
though i am dissapointed that the card only comes with 1gb of memory per gpu.
those of us wanting to run games at 2560*1600 with maxx will run into memory problems.
for this card id pay 650usd and want 1.5gb memory per gpu.
as mentioned 600usd if for top of the line.
a 100usd gpu out performs consoles.
and console games are expensive.
so if you want to be cost effective.. pc is still the way to go.
you want cutting edge.. pc is still the way to go.
you cant compare a ferrari against a kia and then say omg why not get the kia.
once this part is out.. it will only drop prices of other gpus lower.
its always bes...
sure graphics progress with time..
but pc has been well capable of doing 1600*1200 since 98, thats way beyond the current 720p hd standard. even today a 100usd gpu does 1080p near 60fps no problems.. while consoles would be lucky to be doing 1080 in even 10% of their titles.
btw when Quake 3 came out it looked awesome, nothing on any system came close to it.
that was a 98 game.
and we did have crossgame chat 10years back.. its just ...
nothing new.. had it on the pc 10+yrs back.
ps3 finally caught up.
now just 3 years more before we get true hd consoles. pc did that back in 98 :P
they are being greedy.
step by step trying to screw over everyone.. well bots always seem to be most willing to bend over.
PC gaming was the innovator of online game play and it sure as hell was unheard off to pay to go online.
then we have DLC's which were previously called patches, sure pc was the only machine capabale of having games patched before the 360 and ps3 came out.. that changed too. It was the xbox user base who bended over for it firs...
I sense a microsoft paid employee.
its pretty messed up being a console gamer.
pc user:
gets the game for 45usd
gets a hi res copy which runs at 60fps+
free dlcs
free mods
no online charges
console user:
got the game for 60usd
low res 30fps
charged dlcs 10usd probably
no mod support
stuck with an analog controller which isnt optimal for a fps
has to pay to get online (sucks)
