Nvidia GTX680

That looks really nice mate. Stunning actually.

It's still DX9 with some nice post processing though. Not really Toy Story 4 running in real time at 60 fps

I need to get back into Skyrim. Not played it since Christmas

The 'new' Samaritan demo does run in realtime... and it looks pretty darned good. There are a few stutters here and there (framerate drops) but this is extremely impressive nevertheless. Sadly I don't think we'll see too many games at that ultra-high level of fidelity for a year or two yet because game logic, physics, i/o, etc. tend to get in the way.

PC is just a PITA for devs. They need to make proffit at the end of the day, and piracy is so convenient on PC it must be difficult for devs to make as much money selling a PC only game as they would a multi platform.

Surely that arguments so old hat these days though? I can't recall the last software I 'downloaded' for the PC. I pretty much buy everything through Steam these days.

My 360 Bookend however...... totally the opposite. I wouldn't even know what a green-recycled bin DVD case would look like.

This, since buying my ps3 ive never bought so many games lol as I cant hack it. used to do them all for my 360. Been buying PC games more now too, BF3, cod series. Got shitloads of games on my steam account.

 

[Cliotoby]

Ive got one now.


Its erm. Quick. This better last me a few years. 5870 FS is anyones interested

 

[Munson]

You can keep making excuses, but you know you need another one. Why buy one when you can have two for twice the price?

Exactly.

Young 'uns, these days.....

[Munson]

I might get three.

Shtop it god dammit.

Im already thinking about it.

 

[Munson]

Should have just done it to begin with TBH. WTF buys one gfx card these days? LOL.

 

[Cliotoby]

Someone with a s**t PSU

 

[Munson]

So get a new PSU? Duh.

 

[Silent_Scone]

I might get one 4gbFTW edition and get another later. SLi makes sense, that's how I've lasted 3 years with the 580s

 

[Cliotoby]

£450 + £130 for a PSU and second GPP = Skint.

Cant afford. my mate is still running dual 5970's !

Metro 2033 100 FPS.

 

[Munson]

Only busting balls!

I have STILL yet to play 2033. I have it downloaded through Steam but have not yet even launched it

 

[Cliotoby]

Man up. Amazing game!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Toby...Toby

Toby over here, look.

Toby

Toby look



You're doing it wrong.

 

[Cookie]

I just worked out that for the rough amount (so far) that my wedding is costing, I could buy 55 GTX680's

:/

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol! That should be symbolic of the magnitude of love.

Just think of the post processing you could inflict on her face with all that power.



High resolution fox

 

[Munson]

You are drenched in win.

Flawless victory over Toby's limp effort.

 

[Silent_Scone]

I managed to spec a build up with my 580s in so in the end they cost me £50 inc delivery. I'd say that's a result lol

 

[Darren S]

The console gimps crease me up TBH.

You need to be pretty dumb to not realise that PC hardware drives everything. Take it away and we'd be left with Megadrives.

That won't stop the console guys getting excited by the 'next gen' (read DX11) visuals, mind you.

Lol. Welcome to 2008, eh?
