How many PC gamers can run games at High res/Maxed

Just a thought, since PC gamer say their games look alot nicer and better on a PC, how many PC gamers can run a game on high res, (My comp sure can't) It's kinda funny, My cousin has a copy of Overlord, and his comp is running it at about meduim resolution, so the visuals looks less sharp and less texture features, lower than the 360...Just curious, as I have been playing with my comp and graphics card for the past 4 years...I have not upgraded since then, (shocked?)

Which is why I am so easily impressed when I saw Gears for the first time on 360, also Mass effect and even Killzone 2, Halo 3 wowed me with the latest trailer....(not sure why People are so mad about it, it looks great!)

Depends on the game reallly. Plus you're not taking in account that some people like high FPS instead of high resolution.

Don't worry my games on the PC have looked better than the 360/PS3 since the 360's launch.

BTW: KZ2 looked nothing like the trailer. Still decent though, but not like the trailer.

Specs and how much? Also what type of monitor are you playing them on?

Specs and how much? Also what type of monitor are you playing them on?

put it this way i play lost planet at 1680x1050 in dx10, maximum everything,8xaa,16xaf at 40-50fps. So it both runs bette but also looks significantly better than the 360 version. Not too mention this is on dx10 drivers that are in their infancy and also a bit of a shoddy port(but not too bad). Same with world in conflict, higher res,dx10, more aa and af, oblivion? again maximum everything 1680x1050, better looking mods,16xaa/16xaf45-60fps outdoors, 100+ indoors.

so yes my rig is significantly mroe powerful than the 360/ps3

Good lord, I don't understand a word or (Number) you guys are saying, looks like alot of you have rigs that can play, games, one question, is there any computer that run Crysis at Max resolution? Or will it take a year for comps to catch up? Hermitkermit

Do you think Crytek hs been demoing it on anything less than max? Theres plenty of hardware out there that can max out Crysis.

What game?

And are we talking console equivilant high res max?

Or the max the PC allows.... Because were talking resolutions DOUBLE 1080p.........

There is no 'max resolution'. Ps3 and 360 output games at 720p hd resolution(ps3 does some of the worse looking ones at 1080p, but remeber a hdtv that does 1080p is hugely expensive at the moment).This is 1280x720 pixels. I personall play at 1680x1050 pixels which looks amazing, and i reckon crysis will run pretty well on my 8800gtx from what ive seen and heard from the devs. ofcourse if you had 2xu;tras in sli you could probably push it 1900x1200 or even 2560x1600 which is beyond 1080p.

1280x1024 which is the native resolution for my LCD.

If a game doesn't have that (usually older games)I go for the highest setting the game allows.

Also I have Quality on the highest setting in my nVidia control panel. I use a little AA High Anisotropic, etc.

I'm talking about how high res on a computer, forget console now, but the question was how many PC gamers run their games at Max or High Resolution.....It seems alot can....Sadly my comp is still in the dark ages....

But is there anyone here who is not excited about Crysis other than it's graphics? Maybe gameplay, or multiplayer? It looks very photo-realistic, even fooled me with that house....

What I mean by Max is the most you can get out of a computer that is humanly possible. (Without crashing or freezing)

A64 @ 2.8GHz + 7900gt @ 725MHz = Maxed out games-GeordiLaForge-

Thanks now I know. Just curious that's all....

The emphasis is on PCGAMER here. If your a pc gamer then you have a high end rig. If your a Console gamer then in your case you woulen't have a high end rig. Its simple. If your a PCgamer and you have a **** rig maybe your no1 gaming machine is not a pc. In your case this is the case.

Yea even on my crusty 850Pro I run all my games at 720p........

But yes ive overclocked the hell out of it... thank god my case has luvvery ventillation.

And you should se my old 9600XT, with a giant heatpipe cooler... Now that thing would have melted if it wasent for that hulk of a heatsink :P

My current computer would need a new Gfx card, PSU, and CPU over clock for it to run more modern games at high setting with good FPS. My computer does run Farcry a lot better than the Wii... looks a lot better too.

The E4400, P35-DS3R, and 2X1024MB DDR2-800 crucial memory came a few days ago... going to try a first time build... lets hope it works and I don't blow off an ass load of my parents money.

My first build last Year was a E6600, Asus P5W-DH Deluxe, ATI X1900 XT ( I flashed with the XTX bios, and it magically became a XTX. Same memory modules as the XTX. ) 2x250gb WD HDD's in RAID-0, 2gb XMS2-PC6400, X-Fi Extrememusic sound card. Then I upgraded the processor 3 months ago to a X6800, memory added 2 more of the same sticks, Windows Vista Ultimate,and recently my GPU to HD2900 XT. So yes I'm ready for some action.

Mine can run any current game on max settings on the highest resolution possible, just a shame I've only got a 19" TFT monitor :(

Built mine myself (1st time build) and saved about £3500 on what Dell or Alienware wanted for this spec so I'm happy.

Spec btw, E6700 Core 2 Duo Extreme (Quad core), GeForce 8800GTX 658MB, 4Gb 800MHz OCZ RAM, BFG nForce 680i mobo, 1x 500Gb HDD and so on.

Waiting to see what happens when DX10 games come out, I'm hoping this thing will play at least Crysis on max settings.

Goddammit, being stuck on a 939 socket mobo makes me feel like im in the stone ages....

I mean DDR400 PC3200...... Even if its OCZ, I still wish I could use DDR2 800.........

I mostly play DOD:S, but this card rips through it like butter. 1680x1050 8xMSAA/16xHQAF + HDR = 70-90fps, Fear with 4x is kinda crappy but thats because the drivers are still crappy for this game. Oblivion runs perfect with 6xCFAA+HDR, and all i need is another card and 2GB more mem for crysis/UT3 DX10.

covhunter:

If you have a E6700 thats a dual core, not a quad. And your videocard has 768MB of memory, sorry had to correct. ;)

Yeah I know, I'm looking at those HD ready 27"+ monitors that are going right now.

yeah pretty much. the machine cost an absolute fortune though (i live in ireland.....rip off capital of the world). anyway i went a bit nuts with the specs because

A. i like to be able to buy a PC and not upgrade it for a while (i would have liked 4GB of ram but couldnt streatch the budget)

B. i wanted to treat myself

C. Im worth it :D

dot ask for a price though....i get ill mentioning the figure. specs below
