It costed me $1300 to upgrade my processor, RAM, HDD, and to put in an 8800GTX.

That's Crysis' problem, not the PC's. They are working on that very issue now and that's the main reason Crysis is not on the store shelves as I write this.

However, we all know PC gaming is more expensive then console gaming up front. But we also know if you kick in the HDTV which most people have here, it's actually less expensive. And considering you can play PC in a much higher resolution then HDTV's anyway it doesn't make sense also.

But whatever. You pay for what you get and PC gaming is always one step beyong console gaming.

um, you do realize thats a Dell, right? im pretty sure the thread is now finishedGzus666

pc gaming is expensive end of story it also does not last long and has to be kept clean of spyware adware virus and so on.deadmeat59

kept clean of spyware and viruses? what the hell are you doing with your computer that you have to do it that often? i have never in my 17 years of computing had a virus. spyware is a pain in the ass when you get a crappy one, but that happens once in a blue moon. most of the virus scanners/spyware removers run automatically on a schedule you pick, so you really dont have to do much

Anything you download can contain a virus or spyware. I've been hit a few times, but I was sporting protection. ;)

understood, like i said, i have never had a virus in my 17 years of owning computers. spyware is possible, but firefox fixed most of those issues. common sense helps you figure out what to avoid on how not to get a virus. i will admit, im quite a bit more savvy then most, but come on, its mostly common sense

I'm very computer savvy, and your thinking is flawed. You cannot predict what's going to be in a file with common sense. We are probably downloading different files. But we can't talk about that stuff here.

Hey um do us a favor and dont ever post such garbage again. The first poster was actually about dead on. LOL and pc gaming 6 years on low settings? Try to play F.E.A.R on any 6 year old pc and tell me how it comes out .One 300 dollar upgrade in 5 years to keep playing on max? Wow that is possbily the biggest line of crap I have ever seen posted on sw hell that isnt even enough for a new top of the line GPU not to mention every 5 years faster ram comes out and differnt motherboreds that work with the new GPU which requires to you buy a hell of alot more then one 300 dollar GPU.

Also lets keep in mind a HDTV is used for many things hell it can even be used for you pc and why would we care if the pc can play higher resolutions then a HDTV when its on a 19 inch monitor thats to small for it to even make a differnce in the first place? And if pc gamign is always one step ahead of consoles then why do consoles year after year win GOTY in the overall categorioes . Sorry but the best gaming to be had is on a consoles.

BioShockOwnz

understood, it would most likely be the "different" files that we are speaking of. i tend to check sources first, make sure you have backups, check the source with a test PC, etc. thats why i have my spare PC laying around, and my pops has like 5 laying around. you take a risk with those "different" files you are speaking of, thats just the way things go. but for normal everyday things, most people wont encounter any of these unless they do something dumb

And it still doesn't involve PS3 games. TC was just making a comparison with a console and he also meant games that are par on graphics.

have you seen crysis's recommend setting? your model probably will be able to run crysis at low res settings but inorder for crysis to look as good as you've seen it'll cost you quite a bitRagashahs
