His $200 PC can do 200^200 things more than a console. Plus that's a award-winning video-card he's using (look at his HWbot). don't start a PC vs. Console bitchfest here. Please talk to the topic.

rhythmeisterHave you played an xbox 360 on a 42" Samsung screen? :eek:

have you played crysis on a 42" Samsung screen?

xbox plays all games at a steady frame rate, at a standard rez(I dont know what, I dont care either). A computer can run extremely high resolutions, and can produce much higher FPS than XBOX, Im not saying XBOX isnt cool, but you cannot compare XBOX to a computer. Any mid to high end gaming rig will eat a XBOX in performance and graphics. If your PC will allow you can crank the detail levels so high that games look simply amazing.

And yes, when it comes down to price XBOX will win all day everyday, but when you have a gaming PC, the xbox doesnt even compare.

sorry, didnt mean to add to it

Run a linux@ps3 then you do that 200^200 things.
I have PS3 and a better PC than his precious sub system.I can compare PC vs PS3 in my room!

whatever nevermind...

crow1001Considering an 8800GT owns the ass of a 3870, its a safe bet that the 9800GTX2 will trounce the 3870X2.:nutkick:

I meant to quote that for inaccuracy^^^

asb2106have you played crysis on a 42" Samsung screen?

On a HD TV at whatever res' they'll look basically the same only the 360 which cost less than 1/2 the price of my rig in spec's has the bang per buck ffs :banghead:

Anyway, I hope it bombs so I can get one as my next card ;)

i like gaming in 720p on my 40" TV as well. That said, 720p (1280x720) is lower res than what i played the original unreal tournament on (1280x1024)

Consoles lag all the time, its why i hate them - halo 1 and 2 lagged constantly in halo, especialy in coop.

Give me a 9800gx2 and i'll sit here and happily play on a low resolution TV all day long :D

Can you please just show us all your specs, which I do see on the side, and add them up to show me how that costs under 200 dollars. I dont belive that anyone is questioning the specs themselves and what they can or cant do, it's the $$$ that that cost you for an entire system.:)

So I'm assuming alot of it was used?

none of his hardware is that new, socket 754, DDR1 ram, old video card. My system only cost me $1200, not counting the screen.

A64 3400+ $50 used from AthlonX2
(i played it on my 3000+ which came with the mobo free AMIR)
gemini II $13 on ebay
Machspeed K8M8MS...free AMIR
2X512mb ultra DDR400...pulls/free from old system $25ea AMIR when purchased
BFG 7800GS OC...$120 AMIR
Cuda 320GB SATA drive...$60 AMIR @bestbuy
17" LCD...free from neighbor (helped her move out)
CD/DVD drives...free from neighbor (helped her move out)
Ultra case...pulls/free from old system $50 AMIR

so i spent with my current 3400+
$50+$13+$120+$60=$243
with my old 3000+ which played just fine
$13+$120+$60=$181
i guess if you wanted to go with the reused parts
$50+$13+$25*2+$120+$60+$50=$343

Apply this logic, that if cda had to sell that now, he'd do so for exactly $200, which means he was right, $200.

Ok, your point really though is that your system can play these games, money has nothing to do with it, especially in your case. So I'm not sure why all of this fiasco. I can also sit here and say that my 50 dollar system can play crysis cranked, because I got all but one stick of ram for free for helping a neighbor move. So I could have a kick ass system with sli 8800 gtx's and say that my 50 dollar system can play crysis cranked. Not that I don't believe you but do you see what I am saying? By boasting that your very cheaply built system can do better than a 360 or ps3, which by the way it really is not as powerful in most instances, you lead everyone to believe that 200 bucks is all you need when in fact it is not! pfew! Now I need a drink! :)

his point was merely that cheap PC's can be had too. its gone a little out of hand, cause he loves to brag about how cheap it was.

cdawalldid you not read my specs i have SS of my rig running Crysis @1024X768 on med/high and a 30+fps yourt PS3/360 cant do that

yes I saw. and I said I have a better Pc than your system
and believe me I know how did you play crysis on your system. cause my crysis experience wasnt so satisfy at all.except if you believe under 30fps is good:laugh:
you really dont know consoles thatswhy please dont say anything to me anymore. just take a look at assassins creed PC Req and try to play with your 200$ system when it comes out;)

Nitrogliserinlol:)

well in all honesty its possible, techniclly speaking an 8600GT is more powerful than RSX which is a G71 with half the rops, and the Xeneos GPU is just a glorified R500 class chip.

The advantage of the console is that the game is optimized for that hardware, and why ports from console suck so bad in preformance on PC. The truth is a PC is alot more powerful and games like Crysis would have trouble working on the 360/PS3.

all i got was the cd/dvd drives and a monitor from my neighbor? that would come out to what $100 extra? and to prove you can for $300 build a good system...

Biostar P35 mobo $47
e1200 $59
silverstone PSU $35
GSKILL 2x1gb DDR2 $40
MSI 8600GT $65
80GB HDD $37
rosewill case $25

so that comes out to $308 find a console that will play games better than this system (after overclocking of course) and thats a complete system less the OS which can be had for free :D so i guess you were right in saying $200 is not all you need but hell make it $300 and you have yourself a damn good system :roll:

Musselshis point was merely that cheap PC's can be had too. its gone a little out of hand, cause he loves to brag about how cheap it was.

yes i do im proud that my i guess to make defeatest happy my $343 system can run everything i need it to run

PC = you have bugatti veyron which is 1001 hp and top speed 420km/h but the road is very short and damaged and you cant do even 200km/h. and the road workers dont make the road surface better :D


m8 I def agree with you. thatswhy two years ago I spend a x360 money to buy a x1800xt.
today xbox360 plays all games well but my graphic card doesnt.

I just don't belive you Cancle_86, or maybe you are running games like crysis with unplayable fps under 20fps, or u are running the game at 800x600 show us some screenshots with fraps running to let us see ur fps in game... im not against u Candle_86 i just don't belive ur system can handle games like crysis well, because i have a better system im sorry but i have and i just can run crysis with medium at 1400x900...

oh IN GAME too, not the benchmark tool.

ok whatever, but as i said a console would struggle with PC games like Crysis, I ran crysis at all low, can play medium but get some drops i dont like.

here is my fraps report happy?



right after i leave the dome.
