The real pc gamers opinions.

Here is a list of games you cannot play on high settings @ a resolution of 1680x1050 or 1920x1080:rhazzy

[QUOTE="Travis_Odell"]

Any graphics card you are currently using now that plays your games well will definitely hold up until the next gen consoles are out. As I have been saying for the past several years. PC gaming technology is going nowhere until the next gens come out. Most games are made for multiple platforms now, so that is the reason my 8800GTX which I got 5 years ago is still able to play new games on high settings. That is why games today still don't look better graphically than Crysis which is 5 years old. Gone are the old days when multi-platforming development was rare and you needed to upgrade your pc hardware every 6 months just to play the latest games. Now that will happen only when next-gen of consoles are made, which is every 5 years or more.

From what cave did you crawl out?

Here is a list of games you cannot play on high settings @ a resolution of 1680x1050 or 1920x1080:

Crysis,Crysis Warhead,Crysis 2,FarCry 2,Need For Speed Shift series,Dirt series,Batman Arkham Asylum,Batman Arkham City,Just Cause 2,Oblivion,Skyrim,GTA IV,Resident Evil 5, Lineage 2,Alan Wake,Some of the Total War series games,BC2,BF3,Divinity 2,AVP,Two Worlds II,Saints Row 3,Rage,The Witcher EE,The Witcher 2...And those are just a few...

I have a 8800gtx and besides AVP and Crysis Warhead i have tested all of them on my 8800gtx along with a Q6600...and they were unplayable at max settings @ 1920x1080

Cosign with what you have said rhazzy.

I had a 8800 GTS 512 SE and it would not play the modern games at highest or High settings (some yes but anot even close to all).

Last year it was time for me to get a new GPU as some games I had to more frmo high to medium.. once I have to put my settings at low or medium its definatly time to upgrade :P

Yes i can do that...

Do you even realize how bad pc gameing is optimized right?Travis_Odell

[QUOTE="SKaREO"]This thread explains why I don't visit these forums very often anymore. .Travis_Odell

Implying, of course, this is the only forum on the internet.

Instead of dodging the discussion and trying to muck about, how about you further dicuss why you have no idea how gaming hardware and progression works?

Go back a page big guy and look it up, console gaming is a plague, Pc gaming is the only gaming resource on the planet worth a damn. It's beyond all comprehension why anyone would play games on a console. Pc has superior genetics.Travis_Odell

Careful, I'm slightly sensitive about my weight. ;)

There's no comparison between the 680 and the next gen consoles due to cost and viability. You could call it a stagnation of graphical and processing qualities for games, alongside a dash of reduced control to satiate the ailing capabilities of a controller that's making PC gaming affordable at this point in time (at least up until the next large console release). Not even sure why this thread was created to begin with; you'd have been better off with the typical "PC hardware vs nondescript details of the Xbox 720 (?) and PS4".

We all know Pc is ahead of next console gen Mr smart ass.

I am gonna post some words from a developer about PC and console graphics to answer if a game he is building will be ported to consoles:

The only difference will be some minor changes to the control scheme to accommodate the controller as well as some memory reduction via reduced texture fidelity and things like that.Ground Branch Q and A page

It depends on how next gen even works.

Last gen, the newer Xbox 360 did have the graphics handle for a couple of years thanks to the optimization and hardware standardization. A card that is less powerful used on consoles could still have a graphical advantage over a 680 next gen as a result, but it depends on WHAT hardware they go with. Will they go the PS3 route of trying to jam in fancy new tech and be all ambitious? Or will they go the Wii route and have graphics on par with modern graphics already, focusing on a gimmick or gameplay?

Really, we have to know WHAT to expect next gen before we can decide these things.

next gen consoles wont be that great (if comparing the switch from the ps2 to ps3, the ps3 to ps4 won't be much improvement). The current ones already do 1080p, so the next gen ones basically just need to have dx11 and a bit more gpu power to get more AA and supersampling going. the 680gtx will be much better then anything the next gen consoles will do... i can't see Sony or Microsoft selling a 1000 dollar console.

And if pc gamers are ever feeling a little weak, they just put in another 680gtx and right there will up to double their perfomance on high resolution setups.

Mentioned here a bit already is how PC games arent opimized properly, and thats why PC gamers need overkill on their PC hardware just to play some crappy console port.

I'm actually hoping the next gen consoles come soon, I want to start playing more DX11 games instead of DX9

Looks like a System Wars thread.

A GTX 680 could be better than the graphics chipsets in the next-gen consoles but we do not know as there are no concrete next-gen console specs (only rumours).

It will most probably be better than the graphics tech in Wii U and there's a possibility that the other next-gen consoles won't have that graphics power either.
