Pc games s**k

Look Im a gamer I play both pc and console games I prefer FPS on the pc obviously....but I hate the fact that I need a super rig to play...I got 2 sli so that's not the issue....

Pc games install every thing on the computer right? Then why do I need more power then a PS3 to play them? Why cant somebody create a mode in windows that shuts down everything apart from the progs the game needs? How hard can it be?

Maybe im ignorant can someone please in lighting me

its called enlighten, consider yourself enlightenedviper0982

It's all about dedication of the components and variables in programming. 

1.) Your PC can do a whole slew of things that your PS3 cannot.  It can because its hardware is designed to do a number of different things.  Whereas the PS3 is designed for...games.

2.) Because of the standardization of peripherals inside a console, a developer can mess with code to achieve the maximum performance for their software knowing that this is th same hardware that the software will be run on worldwide.  The same cannot be said for PC games which have almost limitless variables when it comes to programming for them.

well everyone has a PC (and most new PC's sold these days have Penitum duals/AMD x2's) just change video card (200 dollars) and you can play any game out doesnt seem to expensive.yoyo462001

call me an idiot (and you'd probably be right as i dont know much about operating systems) but I've said It might be cool if windows came with a kind of dual boot mode just for gaming, so all you'd have running is essential drivers for gaming and nothing else. Possibly an additional mode just for single player games when not even internet and firewall stuff is running, just the bare essentials for my game to run. When I'm done gaming i can just boot back into regular windows with all its crap that i never use.frostee-uk

Hey steady on! They probably just mean two graphics cards in SLI. Even if they meant two pairs of graphics cards in SLI then you can have quad SLI. Either way, no need to jump down their throat and add a nasty quote to your sig!

That's what im talking about....because I spent a lot of cash on this rig and I can dominate games but i just wish it could be cheaper and less demanding that's all

You can do that, its called "hardware profiles". You can select what services in window you don't want to load at startup. Whenever you turn on your PC you can select to boot normal windows or the hardware profile you created. But its a huge waste of time because it makes no difference, especially on a modern PC that you would use for gaming. To keep your PC in the best condition for gaming simply close any hardware intensive programs if you plan on gaming, and every week or so degfrag you harddrive
