im not taking a side on bigfella. Hes smart, and has good advice. Might could do without the computer god complex a little though.
yeah, i like his enthousiasm but saying that his pc smashes anything else on the forum makes me think hes a tad cocky
And a tad wrong too.
You're the biggest fanboy on this forum. You're seriously linking to a comparison of a 230 buck 2500k v a 145 or so buck phenom x4 970 (or lesser overclocked). That's a 17% increase in performance for almost a 60% price increase, talk about value. And yes, i will say that the i3 beats it in the other bench test, of course i would never call 25 fps unplayable, especially when it's the absolut minimum frame rate ever reached, and the average dips where most likely still in the 30+ fps range.
Why, this may well be true for shooters and other games where accuracy and precision matter, but outside them I have absolutely no trouble playing even at around 20fps. I can play, say, Assassins Creed maxed out at 1900x1080 on a measley HD5750 & Phenom 8450 (both stock) with visible lag at times without it getting in the way of me having fun. And that's even without getting into the RTS or, God forbid, TBS domain (yea this might not be a usual scenario but I'm into that kind of stuff).And anyone who thinks you can play a game 25fps is kidding themselves.
That wasn't the most pleasant gaming experience, though, but it's still quite playable.
No one said anything about price comparison jonny. The comment i was referring to was essentially saying, regardless of price they all do the same thing. Which is completely incorrect. And anyone who thinks you can play a game 25fps is kidding themselves.
Well blimey did that get laughed out of the court fast.I rest my case
ArmA at 20FPS is not playable unless you absolutely don't give a shit. HAHHAHA what a joke.
haha ok minecraft
