SwissCM posted:The exception to this is emulating modern machines such as when using PCSX2 and Dolphin mentioned earlier. The more performance the better when it comes to them. Both those emulators only ever use two cores max, so saying that "the more performance the better" isn't necessarily true.

Taffer posted:PIRACY a-bloo-bloo. When usually it's just because the game was crap or the port was crap. Not necessarily. Games like World of Goo and Street Fighter 4 had lots of effort put into them for PC, and yet they still got pirated to the point that developers complained about it.

Why would you even need so much RAM for a gaming machine anyway? If you're doing memory intensive work like image or video editing it can help, but if you're using your PC solely for gaming 4 Gigs is more than enough.

unterdude posted:So RPS recently posted their top 122 best PC games of the last 20 years. Seeing this giant list got me thinking.. If there's so many "best" PC games, I've probably missed more than a couple hidden gems/under rated ones? What games, goons, from the last 10 years, do you suggest? The cliches such as Half Life, Deus Ex, Starcraft, are a given. But what about more niche genres? Witcher, stalker, bloodlines, total war, etc. etc. Take your pick.

Hoodrich posted:Planning on buying a new gaming pc in the next few weeks. how much money should I be looking spend? Right now I'm looking at around two grand. Will this be enough to futureproof my system for a few years at least? You can get a (close to) top of the line gaming PC for half that. Something like this: CPU: Intel Core i5 2500 $229 Mobo: ASRock P67 Extreme4 $189 RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3-1333 $47 HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB $57 GPU: 2GB AMD Radeon HD6950 $315 Case: Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced $115 PSU: Seasonic M12II 520W $113 ODD: LiteOn DVD burner $23 CPU HSF: Coolermaster Universal Hyper 212+ $33 Total: $1,121

NativeAlien posted:Those are actually high prices for those components. P67 Extreme4 was $159 pre-recall, most 6950s can be had for $279, CM690 II Advanced for $99. That's a high end rig for about $1050. Yeah, the prices I listed are in Australian dollars. In America, it would probably be a fair amount less.

The only reason games like SF4 and RE5 got PC ports was because the VP of Strategic Planning and Business Development at Capcom, Christian Svensson, is an avid PC fanboy and was the principal motivating factor in convincing the Capcom Japan division in making PC versions of their games.

Death Himself posted:They paid Treyarch to make the COD Black Ops beta a console exclusive. The PC launch had a ton of stupid poo poo wrong with it which had to be patched because they were not allowed to have anything past their inhouse beta. It sucks for sure, but would you rather get a game that's late and/or buggy, or would you rather not get the game at all? At least Microsoft releases some of its exclusives on PC. I don't get why there's not more hate for companies like Sony or Nintendo, who NEVER release their games on PC at all.

blowingupcasinos posted:The XBox 360 is easy to develop for because it's similar to the PC. The PS3 and Wii are totally different than the PC. In one case the PC port is easy. And in the other cases the PC port is hard. Sony has already proven that they can release games on PC and PS3 simultaneously with games like DC Universe Online, so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do the same with their other games. In fact, games like Killzone and Heavy Rain were originally planned to be released on PC before Sony bought them out.

Skilleddk posted:Also, you could probably do the same, if not worse with a Radeon 6990. According to the reviews so far, the 6990 is actually outperforming the 590 in most benchmarks, while drawing less power. Nvidia is really starting to fall behind in its engineering techniques, while AMD has stepped up its game with its drivers. A total role reversal.

Taffer posted:ATI has good hardware but last time I checked they still had horrible drivers. They still haven't bothered to even try and code proper OpenGL support. In the past their drivers have been lacking, but that's completely changed in the past few years. Their latest 11.4 drivers are easily their best drivers ever.

On the subject of PhysX, I still don't get why some games require you to install PhysX, even though you're on an ATi card.
