[QUOTE="Velocitas8"][QUOTE="CwlHeddwyn"]i hate to generalise but a hermits are pretty much graphic whores- thats why they shell out £1000 for a PC with SLIskrat_01
That's a myth. Very few PC gamers actually have SLI/Crossfire setups..they aren't cost effective, nor necessary. Your average PC gamer doesn't upgrade every couple months either, you'll only see that with the most hardcore "hardware enthusiasts."
Also, a good chunk of the PC gaming population still plays classic games like CS 1.6, Starcraft, and Diablo 2/LoD..none of which are exactly modern in terms of visuals.
Actually I disagree SLI is cost effective.Buy a 8800 GT now, and then next year buy another 8800 GT when they are dirt cheap, thus boosting your performance.
And yes with 200 million PC gamers, the vast majority arent going to be 'graphics whores'.
This is all ironic when Lems and Cows both fight tooth and nail for the scraps of which console has the better visuals - not to mention when the 360 first game out - and GeOW "We has teh best grahpix = ownage".
well if your 8800 is a EVGA you will be able to turn that in as "cash" for an upgrade, i agree with him that SLI's arent cost efficient not only because of that but also because id need to buy a power supply along wiht another GPU.
still the main diference in this topic is
Hermits have played both COD4 and Crysis, still Crysis is the one being hyped, people dont care if a good game is multiplat they will hype it.
Console only gamers havent played crysis.
lets see whos unbiased...
