Intel E6600 OC'ed @ 3.0 GHz
Crucial Ballistix 4GB PC-6400 RAM @ 4-4-4-12
2 x eVGA 9800GTX+ SC in SLI
WD VelociRaptor 300GB SATAII HDD @ 10000 RPM
OCZ 700w PSU

I was going to build a new comp, but decided my general (lack of) usage wouldn't justify the cost.
Most of my gaming is handled by my PS3. Whatever I can't play on my PS3, I play on my comp.

That's not true. You cannot play Halo 3 on your ps3. By your logic, you'd play that on your pc, but the pc can't play Halo 3! Ohz noez, what's going on!

I'm sort of curious, just say your specs and if your a pc or console gamer.

I'm a console gamer with a 360, but I'll play some pc games. I just prefer console games much more and there's not a whole lot of good pc games imo.

specs in pic (like my odst background? teh Haloz! is awesome!!!!)

[QUOTE="Iheartrpgsalot"]

the thing is, pc graphics aren't better. How many good looking pc games are there? Really, Crysis and the "better versions". Console games have such a higher visual standard. Look at the "best" devs for the pc- valve and blizzard. There games look like crap

And here's where graphics boil down the most-- those with your most played best games. Does it matter if a crappy game has the best graphics ever? No, not at all. It only matters for the games you play often. Hermits seem to only be caring about these games that look rather poor, again, Valve's and Blizzards games. What's at the top for Ps3 and 360er's? Gears, Killzone, Final Fantasy, etc.---> beautiful looking games

You know the whole gaming industry doesn't operate like consoles, if you think that way of course you won't understand it. PC is a variable hardware platform, audiences can be divided by their system configuration unlike consoles which have a set specification. Valve and Blizzard games look the way they do because of the hardware audiences they target, not because they are bad developers.

There is THE Sims audience and your Crysis, STALKER CS, Empire: Total War etc. audiences; different games designed for different hardware specifications. You cannot single out popular developers and say that is the best PC can do, all you are doing is making judgements of that segment; in this case purely on graphical matters.

That said what statement are you trying to make exactly? That even though PC has a hardware advantage console users like eye candy more?

I understand that. What my initial statement was is that because of this, it suffers. The graphics you see are of your most played games. Using a one off which pc gaming is huge on (fear was, HL was at the time, crysis, etc.) isn't a good judging factor. I don't know how else to put this: the best pc games suck graphically. Why should the best graphics be used to determine a platform? It should be the medium range/ most played games.

and vandal, what's your specs?

[QUOTE="Aljosa23"]

GTA4 on PC is a horrible example. That game is horribly optimized because the devs at Rockstar didn't optimize it for Dual-Core PCs.

And even on Low the game still looks better than the PS3/360 version. :lol:

see, this is the false hermit superiority thing going here, it doesn't this isn't the lowest at all, but it looks worse http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/22863

[QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"]] I bought an Acer desktop new from PC World for around 300GBP ($600, back then) last year. That thing had to run TF2 in a window at the lowest possible settings and it still lagged. Most showroom PCs don't have dedicated graphics cards, which is the main problem.Vandalvideo
I don't really think you can call that a modern gaming rig. If it was marketed as such you need to slap those guys.

oh, so a modern pc is a gaming pc? I thought you just meant if you bought any midrange pc, youd be able to play it

[QUOTE="Iheartrpgsalot"] no, they really can't. Half of the pc gamers here probably cant even play GTA4. Vandalvideo
Yes, they really can. You would need a rig from last generation or prior to the 360 not to be able to play the modern games.

What the crap? You have no idea. A rig that could just max out farcry can barely even touch crysis. And crysis definately isnt the most demanding game
