I'm pretty sure an upgrade enhances gaming, hence the term. Does making moot claims somehow enhance your gaming? If not then why waste your time?

I'm not going to bite the bait, but you do realize when PC owners have to upgrade, it's due to gaining experiences impossible on current gen consoles right? We don't upgrade for console ports, we upgrade for games that are a gen ahead, design wise, in comparison to consoles. So yes, it does enhance our gaming experience. ;)

I can't speak for PC gamers, but generally, when I did an upgrade it enabled me to play some new game I previously couldn't.

well i have 2 points bout in answer to your statement. 1. Your price and upgrading projections are way off for the normal pc gamer 2. It does enhance the experience by: A) higher framerate give smoother gameplay and 60fps is very beneficial in competitive games B) Higher image quality make it easier to notice things.

Obviously that's all you've ever used a PC for, because you know nothing about PC gaming.

That's true. But I was talking about the guys who can run games just fine, but still upgrade for the better graphics.

Yeah,I just spent around $5000 on a new system but in a couple of months I´m going to upgrade again and spend $3000 more.

I´ll probably do the same two months after that.

And again and again and again...

By the end of this gen,I estimate to have spent over $100.000 just on hardware.

According to the TC's logic console gamers must buy a new TV every time a new model comes out in order to enhance the graphics. Spending 2k first for a flat screen, then an extra 2k on LED LCD, then 2k more on a 3D HDTV meanwhile gaming doesn't get any better in any way.

I just came here to say that i like pudding, and also plz dont feed the troll.

painguy1
Pudding? Pudding?! I'll have you know I prefer Jello Gelatin and in the spirit of SW I'll give you the facts why! 1)Gelatin Tastes Better! The whole undeniable truth! 2)Gelatin's powdered form is better than Puddings powdered form! Irrevocable evidence! 3)Gelatin sets better in the fridge. A truth known around the world! Your pudding flops and fails to stand above my Gelatin sir. :P /look I can make pointless posts too TC!

thats like saying buying a ps4 wont enhance your gaming experience in any way compared to a ps3. with that logic, everyone would be playing pong.
