I see what you mean, but there's the problem with being a PC gamer. You really can't "try before you buy" with PC games. Usually, people can only rent console games (since most PC games nowadays can be played with a disk, destroying the purpose of renting). As far as I can see, demo's are really the only way to try the game itself.
So I had a little predicament today while checking out some game demos. For a number of demos I played I ran into some pretty unusual performance drops. I'm not usually running into any of those issues on any new games on my PC, but those are all full games, not demos. I also ran into some VERY ugly games. The graphics on some of the demos made me sick to the stomach. One such example is the FUEL demo. I've seen screenshots of the full game, but the graphics on the demo look far worse. Note: I always max out graphics on games.
So this leads me to the concluding question. Are full games much better than demos in terms of performance and quality (graphics, sound, etc.) or are they worse?
I have been thinking of it. The big problem here is that they only have previous drivers archived for windows XP and older. I can't seem to find previous drivers for Windows 7 (64-bit).
So I bought a p-7915u fx laptop about a month ago. It ran games just as well as I expected it to. Everything ran smoothly without any problems. Yesterday I downloaded the 195.62 driver for my video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M). All of a sudden everything lags innumerably. Fallout 3 went from running just fine to unimaginably laggy. If drivers are supposed to improve performance, then why is it doing the complete opposite and making everything run worse?
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8700
Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M
320 GB HDD
4GB of Ram
If any other specs you need to know in order to answer this question tell me. I'm pretty new at computers so your help would be very well appreciated. Thanks (=
So I am soon going to be getting a 360 but I had begun to have a concern about connecting to Xbox live. I heard that you can't connect to Live using a wireless connection without an accessory. I also heard that wireless had terrible lag and it wouldn't be worth using anyways. Secondly, what are all the other different ways that you could connect to the net? Thanks
Aight ppl's I'm goin to sell my wii and DS to buy me a 360. But quickly i wanted to know. Is it true that the red light problem that kills ur 360 still out there and that 1 out of 3 360's have it?
