#notsureifsrs

I'm still using my core2duo and amd am2 with 4gb ddr2 RAM daily and they both work fine. I still play games with the c2d.

I don't plan to upgrade before next year either.

[ismithx]

very srs. what games dat still running?

[M_2NR]

I played games up to last year. I have a 460gtx in it. I eh rich like ulyuh to afford upgrades every year

More recent was asseto corsa. I play more on my Xbox now though.

[nemisis]

fellas... is 2014 already. please lose the DDR2/AM2 stuff, it's so outdated its not even funny

if you want good parts on a cheap budget, check http://www.supertechtt.com

have you seen super tech Mbs? Steups

[Chiney]

very srs. what games dat still running?

certainly not bf4 or games such. even on LOW

[Ronaldo95163]

^Brutal much

But supertech has some reasonable deals though.

And a 750ti maxes out BF4 easily



It would be cheaper if imported though

[M_2NR]

Brutal how? I didn't even bother with that crap. Read about the lags and glitches all over. Bf3 ran fine on medium/high settings.

Brb while I spend $4000 a year for the latest and greatest.

[meccalli]

You don't don't need super graphics to game, maybe today's polished stuff but i have no problem running tf2, dota2, quake, hl2, l4d and rs on a dual core and a 520gt.

[Ronaldo95163]

Such hate here all of a sudden

[WM_Tuner]

Games were running fairly good, 4gb DDR2 ram (upgraded to the highest speed for ddr2), phenom x3, SSD drive and GTX 650Ti Boost video card.
I think once you've got a good video card, you can usually get good gaming performance...

[Ronaldo95163]

idk why men does feel yuh need the best of the best hardware to keep up with games

[HCCA]

idk why men does feel yuh need the best of the best hardware to keep up with games

Ent.

[WM_Tuner]

Can't really rationalize spending big$$ on the computer gaming hardware when the consoles are much cheaper...still prefer using the mouse and keyboard for FPS however...

[Spitfir3]

idk why men does feel yuh need the best of the best hardware to keep up with games

you can thank watchdogs and so called next gens games for that also a lot of people are under the impression that if you can't run higher spectrum games at ultra settings @1080p then your hardware is sheit

[Ronaldo95163]

How much for a console now?
Like 3k?
Why not save some more and put it towards a decent rig...is it that you must must must play video games that so much people rush to buy a console over building a rig?
What's the rush

HOSSSSSS GTA V on current gen and PC 1WET.

I go hadda upgrade my PC next year though just to run it.

wish i was this optimistic about upgrading my rig considering how huge games are becoming 15gb per game minimum and the fact that i need to fork out about $1500-2500 on a gpu every 10 months or so just to keep up my mind really turning from pc gaming now #poorpeoplproblem

Why does everyone believe this

idk why men does feel yuh need the best of the best hardware to keep up with games

you can thank watchdogs and so called next gens games for that also a lot of people are under the impression that if you can't run higher spectrum games at ultra settings @1080p then your hardware is sheit

Most of them who think like that are air heads so I pay them no attention

[jm3]

it all really depends on a persons budget
i am happy that gaming is open to all budgets thanks to cheaper consoles especially since this new generations game production will be closer between pc and console that means more good games for all of us.

[trinigamer]

The most expensive cards are for the hardcore gamers who must have the latest to run WatchDogs/Crysis 3/Battlefield 4 at the highest possible framerate. But without these early adopters willing to spend $$$ on the latest cards, the companies probably wouldn't invest in innovating for better performance. Don't forget today's high end card is tomorrow's mid-range card.

BTW the 6870 selling in the miscellaneous forum can play all the latest games, depending on the settings

[iM@st@1]

Also worth noting PC gaming has reached beyond 1080p resolutions which does need more powerful hardware to push playable framerates. As jm3 say everybody have their own budget to work with, if what ya have working for ya, cool scn.

Good card trinigamer, had one of those pushing eyefinity back in the day.

[Ronaldo95163]

1080p good enough for me.
Not buying a new monitor just for that

An upgrade I always wanted to go for was a CPU upgrade...wouldn't mind getting my hands on a 980x but men calling some ridiculous prices for them

Still have room for 16GBs more RAM and the board is fully capable of doing 3 way SLI
