As a technology enthusiast i bought an iphone and a tablet PC. NOT a gaming rig.

I have always been a tech enthusiast and kept a cutting edge PC.SauceKing

Liar. Go back to your iPod 3rd gen.

But the reality is, PC gaming is dying. My last gaming PC purchase was a laptop, then i bought an iphone and a tablet computer. Pc gaming is trending towards smaller and more efficient. You arent bleeding edge if you are still outfitting tower cases with enormous graphics cards.... new technology is more compact.SauceKing

No it's not. It's better than ever. It pulls in more revenue than any other platform. Not to mention it's the perfect platform for small studios and indie devs. Laptops are terrible for main gaming, unless you happen to travel a lot.

It doesnt matter how many cards you have running in SLI, if you own a tower case, you are no longer technologically savvy... you are old, you are behind the times... your giant gaming PC is outdated.SauceKing

It does far more than a mobile device ever will. It's far more "cutting edge." Your iPhone is already outdated, idiot. LOL at SLI. Crossfire is currently providing better performance per dollar. The correct word you are looking for is hipster, you f*cking hipster.

Get over it PC gamers, your rig is old, and you are old.... you are a relic. Stop pretending you are somehow on the bleeding edge of technology.SauceKing

So go back to playing your bleeding and cutting edge Angry Birds.

My recent LAN gaming rig is not a Tower case. It's about PS3 game console size Silverstone SG07-BW Mini-ITX case which can power a 400 watt GPU and 12.2 inch long graphics card. It has 80 plus bronze rated 600 watts power supply.

Silverstone SG07 case vs Tower PC case.

PS; My tablet can play modern PC games i.e. AMD Radeon HD 6250M kills Apple Ipad2's PowerVR 543MP2 in performance.

this post is so full of bs i don't know where to begin.

pc gaming is not dying, as a matter of fact steam is growing a lot every year. in other topic its been discussed im not gonna repeat myself to a lvl 1 troll.

no gaming laptop is gonna have the real power of a gaming desktop pc unless you are willing to spend $ 4k in a laptop, i usually have my gaming desktop pc for playing and my laptop for working

iphona and tablet pcs don't have any real power to run decent games, they are nice to have and have some fun games but they are a joke to play games in, they are usually used for portable media.

"It doesnt matter how many cards you have running in SLI, if you own a tower case, you are no longer technologically savvy... you are old, you are behind the times..." thats gotta be the most ignorant comment i've read, go to any lan party and see how many go with laptops. In sheer power, desktop pcs destroy everything else.

i don't even know why i answered, you are obviously some kind of pathetic console troll. As a technology enthusiast i love having an updated gaming rig

"As a technology enthusiast i bought an iphone and a tablet PC. "

Sounds like the parents got their son an iphone and tablet pc.

That has nothing to do with what's more advanced. By your logic your iphone is more advanced than NASA's supercomputers.

Doyou realize that the GpGPU is just a large array of integer and floating point processors (with some fix function processors)? Recall X86's FPU assimulation....

The word "proportion" says Hi. Note that my accounting and devs tools are on the same machine....

GpGPU = General Purpose GPU i.e. non-gaming workloads. Mathlab application can be acceralated by OpenCL and CUDA i.e. less time doing something = better productivity.

Another example i.e. by working with AMD, the incoming WinZIP 16.5 release has OpenCL acceralation.

PC gaming is dying? Wow, haven't heard that in a while.
