Dragon Age:Origins PC or Xbox

If a similar thread like this has been posted recently I apologize.

Im debating over getting DA:Origins for my PC or my Xbox. I dont care about achievements so thats a nonfactor. All I'm worried about is if my PC can deliver a smooth enough performace to warrant me purchasing it over the 360 version.

I'm running a rig with 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM, core 2 duo 3.16 gigahertz processor, Nvidia 9600 GT graphics card, and windows 7 OS. I tried the Braid demo on my Xbox and my PC and noticed quite a bit of aliasing on the PC, as opposed to none on the Xbox.

Is my graphics card just bad? As long as the rest of the parts are fine, I could invest in a better card, possibly run dual cards if they are beastly enough.

Any input is appreciated.

your pc is better than mine and mine runs the game very well. go for that version.

PC - 9.5

360 - 8.5 lolz

you decide ;)

PC, no contest.

You should upgrade your graphics card ASAP, the rest is fine. Get it for PC as it is a much better game than the console versions.RedruM_I

Nope, you're dead wrong.

If I were you, I'd just stick a 4890 in that PC.

tactical view?

I get 60FPS with 9800gt.You should get atleast 30 if not more.And 30 is more than enough for this game.

I don't understand why people think the console version is completely different. I've tried both, and the only thing that i like from the PC version is that you get more enemies on screen. Thus why the tactical view is needed. But honestly, everything else is the same (minus graphics). Even though on my HDTV and HDMI, the game looks as good as any medium setting would. But now you have people telling TC to upgrade his Graphics card to play the game? This is crazy. The console version of this game ISN'T BAD! Lulz

[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"] No. It isn't.. If you don't like using a K&M, there's no reason to get it for PC.xsubtownerx

Too bad your illness or pains have nothing to do with the game. The best experience is on the PC, that's a fact.

lol the trolls here are funny.

i'm not recommending the version to you. can you let it go?

If you can run it on your PC, I'd say PC without a doubt. Mods would help the game a lot, plus you can download the toolkit from the Bioware Dragon Age page and create your own adventures!

Oh how I wish I had a decent gaming PC just for that...

Even ignoring mods this game is still better on the PC. This style of game is just better suited to the PC. Can you enjoy the console version? Sure. But the TC obviously has a nice PC and seems like they want the best experience possible. For this game that would be the PC version.

Pc version, no contest.

Thesetwo mods are must have imo. At least if you like:

A: having proper control over the progress of you and your party

B: having a place to store items outside of your inventory that does'nt require DLC (having a chest in your party camp is way more sensible however you may look at it).

PC.

Definately.

On topic. The PC version of Dragon age IS the better experience. The PC interface is better suited for this kind of game since it is patterned after their older RPGs like Baldurs Gate, which is a PC game. The higher resolutions, better framerate, mods, etc. clearly prove that to be the case. I had the PS3 version first and then upgraded to the PC version. The difference is pretty staggering. To me at least.

Pc by far.

Also your graphics although not a beast you should be able to play it at all high settings even at 1680x1050 ( besides dragon age is not that demanding on the GPU). My 8800gt can play the game at 1440x900 max settings 4xAA and fps is usually 35-45fps and that 9600gt of yours is only 10-20% slower

Besides Pc version has Mods ( imo the most important advantage ) , Better graphics, Tactical view, Better controls and to top it it comes $10 cheaper

Do not underestimate the power of the 9600gt :P. I can tell you this card is amazing for budget price. You should be able to play DA on PC fine.
