It's weird how you don't notice a difference in graphics even with that older setup.

I have a 2007 PC build that is close to that setup and I noticed a big difference in games.

Currently my specs are AMD Athlon 6000+ (x2) 4GB and a8800GT which a friend gave too me...

Im not happy with the way Flight Sim X and Crysis runs... I need to upgrade my card but there are soooo many out i cant seem to figure out which one to buy... Can I plz get a recommendation for that can run these games particularly flight sim x on very high settings....

Don't let random people on the internet control you. You're acting like the polar opposite of Sylvester stalone.

:P

that's not what I meant at all. It just sounds like You don't like pc gaming that much. (just kinda looks that way) Just game how you want to game :)

If you want to upgrade go for it.

So you want to be a hermit lol ?johny300

Wrong board. Move to PC Hardware sectionIantheone

In my experience they practically are, minus a couple of party/chat options on LIVE. Oh and LIVE has a more talkitive community from what I noticed.

After getting a PS3 this year and spending some time on PSN I haven't noticed any REAL differences besides those chat options.

The amount of lag is the same (their both primarily p2p)

Downloads are the same (at least for me, but I have heard it's slower for others)

Other than thse chat options is there any BIG reason as to why people say one is better than the other?

Is there any REAL reason as to why I payed for a Gold account earlier this year (before I got my PS3)

I still have 6 months left on my Gold account and unfortunately I haven't seen any real reason to renew it except for my friends who most happen to be on LIVE.

Ok, I started a thread not too long ago saying that PC games dont look much better than console games.... Of course I was flamed immediately... According to you guys playing Crysis at 1440x900 with everything on high isnt maxed out.... Which I kinda now get... I got some extra cash this holiday and im looking to upgrade graphics cards.... Now I have looked at benchmarks on toms hardware but im still unclear about what to get...

Currently I have:

Athlon 6000+(x2) 4GB ram 8800GT........... Plz recommend me the most affordable card that can play crysis "maxed out" as well the new Total War game maxed out... Along with all other games maxed out with a res of at least 1080p so I can play on my HDTV....

Thanks in advance im just trying to get a better PC gaming experience for a decent price..
