They bought consoles?

3*680gtx in SLI backed with 16gb of 2ghz DDR3ram and and the latest generation I7 processor

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Are you talking about a PC? I'm not good at the numbers/names game.

 

[Salvo]

PC's will always be superior. The thing that consoles have is longevity.

 

[ALC]

yeah, huge difference.

 

[Enron]

Yeah, it's retarded to compare the two.

Sick. Purely for games?

You can always invest a little bit and upgrade your rig to give it a longer lifespan.

Consoles will still last longer. e.g. 360 came out in 2005 I think and the next one will probably come out at the end of this year or next year. That's about 8 years. Do you really think any computers (for gaming) would still be able to keep up now if you upgraded it? It would practically have to be a new computer. Pentium 4 was probably the best processor you could get back then.

 

[Raz]

Probably not but man there is such a difference you can get from any powerfull PC and any console that it's not even comparable.

And now days a really good rig can last you quite some time, plus with some upgrades I think it can last 5 years without problem, you might not be able to use all the max settings and resolutions after such time, but it will still be way better then console is able to offer.

It's not the same thing though.

It's not the same thing though.

Why? I have my PC connected to a TV and have controllers too, so if I want some console gaming I can get it anytime. But with console you can't get what PC is offering.

 

[ZoSo]

You don't have to install games on a console, 99.9% of the time it works etc.

 

[Raz]

Well, with big hard drives which isn't a problem nowdays and a proper PC they work 99,9% of the time too.

And you only have to install once, then you can play them without any problem.

 

[Enron]

You install every game you play to your console. It's just a much smaller install than it would be for a PC.

Roflmao, two friends of mine recently bough a new rig, and it has better specs then that.

You're comparing apples and oranges here.

For a console, those specs are very impressive.

Every developer that has a dev kit has said so.

You're nuts.

I have an i5-3570k and AMD HD 7870. I don't play a lot of games though.

I regret not getting a 3770 though, better for editing.

 

[Klovn]

My Laptop can play all games. But that's not the problem. When i example play a stragety game, my laptop gets overheated and the game starts lagging abit.

Do you guys think a Laptop cooler can fix this?

I've been spending waaaay too much time playing CoD 2 lately. This game is addicting.

Also, I didn't expect the campaign to be this fun - by far the best CoD campaign I've ever played (haven't tried them all).

 

[ZoSo]

CoD4 is the best imo. Everything was great about it, especially when it was fresh. Now they've been releasing the same game for the past 6 years.

The last one I owned was MW2.

I'm talking about CoD Black ops 2 btw, not the original CoD2 which was brilliant in it's own right.
