PC hardware obliterates console hardware

Current generation hardware is more powerful than the N64.

I don't believe :P

the sky is blue. Did you really have to make this thread?Nonstop-Madness

Thank you. The elitist hermits always got to boast and brag about how superior their precious pc is to consoles. How about enjoying your games instead of stating the obvious?

Smart guy, i guess. lol

just wait ;)

I think the perfect man/woman would be found before OnLive finds an exclusive.

Why can't consolites understand that We, PC gamers, are mearly inviting you into Heavens. I understand that being afraid of change is something completely natural. But We assure you though, you will stand tall amongst us.

We are not Gods. We are mearly evolved beyond the boundaries of physics. We were once the same as you, billions of years ago. We are giving you a opportunity, that which could ultimately change your universe, because We are mercyful and kind. Think about the unlimited freedom you will experience, your shackles shall be broken from this horrible kingdom ruled by the tirany of Bobby Kotick, and your eyes shall open once you embrace Our word. Don't be afraid, my brethren will take care of you all. I will return again once you have thinked about our offer.

This thread is a complete 360 from all your other threads. I bet its because of what Jedikevin2 said to you in the other thread ;)gmaster456

You mean a complete 180? A complete 360 would return him to the direction he was before lol.

Elitist hermits? TC has bashed PC since the first day he's been here :|

Is this because i said in another thread that everything you post is anti pc?

TL;DR version.

PC gaming is the goodness of the light. Console gaming is the sad, depressing, evil dark.

Again, define better game.

*walks into console game hell* Hmmmm, no flight sims, no train sims, no ship sims, no RTS's, no tycoon games, no true racing games and no mods for games*walks back out*

And only hermits care. No one else. Nobody. No one. None. Do not understand why Hermits come here. They are so above and beyond the common man you would think they would use all of the power their rigs (Most of which are probably lying about the specs) and create a shuttle. That way they can go and take over another planet where the natives play strategy and MMO's games all day long.WarTornRuston

Except TC is a fakeboy.

yep and it also obliterates the price

What is the point of this thread? What's that you say? Hardware from 2011 is superior to hardware from 2005? Your insight is truly staggering...

Consoles will always and I say always sell more than Gaming PC's and be better than gaming PC's. You guys never mention that fact the you need to spend 1000 dollars on gaming PC in order to play those games. Not to mention you need to spend another 300 on a new graphics card and ram every 2 years to keep up with the graphics upgrades. PC gaming is just too expensive to justify buying a console over one of those things.

No one needs to spend that much money to play those games at those settings. MaximumPC just built a gaming PC for $667 I believe it was. You are way off in your argument.

You must be joking right? Base on your statement, my 550 dollar rig must not exist (see signature)? If you would like, I could debunk this with a full out rig but I feel its not needed. As others have already called this notion as irelevant and completely untrue..., the best thing to do is Drop Stephen Colbert into the forum..

TC what is your point? To repeat something has been said before a billion times over? The thread is pointless all you're doing is recycling the same old garbage.JohnF111

Yes, brand new PC hardware obliterates 6 year old console hardware.

Sims, tycoon, and rts games? Eww, I'd rather stay in hell. Heaven looks too boring. There also seems too be too much whining, and why does heaven even care about what's going on in hell? Most of us are perfectly happy down here. KalEl370

Thou shall not generalize, for you are poking at my patience. The infinite freedom of every genre available from 90s games to 2011 games, including multiplats and much more genre variety compared to any console, plus modifying them in any way comprehendable to create new games from *them* is something, that naturally, mortals can't comprehend until Us evolved beings bring you forth at the heavenly doors of Our domain, out of kindness. Why wouldn't we care? Apathy is a state that does nothing productive, a inferior state only appearing in young species that, yet, do not understand what the Universes are. Non-involvement equates to nothingness, there is no reason to not care.

Embrace the light ..

Ya and when the 360 came out in 2005 it obliterated any PC in terms of graphical Prowess sorry you Failed

are we still comparing pc hardware to console hardware? come on give it rest already.

In other news, I just took a breath :|

No, it does not make it a 'fact' that you need to upgrade every two years ( more like 3,6 years ), but gaming PC's can very easily reach or exceed the 1000$ price tag if you have to buy everything from scratch. The fact that I have to pay the numerical equivalent in euros instead of dollars doesn't help.

No, it didn't. Sorry you failed too.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="SkyWard20"] I'd like to see you debunk my receipt too, then.SkyWard20

You missed the point, as usual. Read what the guy wrote : a 8800GTX is still capable of displaying recent games at ok settings. I would add : a 8800GTX still kicks any console's ass.

Sorry, I've been to heaven, and can visit whenever I like, it's just not as great as some make it seem, and hell has better big budget exclusives that I enjoy more. To quote the great band AC/DC, "hell ain't a bad place to be". Have fun trying to be the "jehovah witness" of gaming, and I will have fun playing games. KalEl370

Ofcourse, We allow you to reject this offer. Playing with stones from the ancient past certainly has .. it's appealness.

While the pc hardware is far superior, that doesnt change the fact that crysis 2 can be run on a console with 500 mb ram while a pc with 500 mb wouldnt have a chance.Androvinus

PC gaming must be officially dead then if people can come up with such tremendously strong points :lol:

You mean at 30FPS, upscaled 720p, and medium settings? It would run fine.

So this PC you describe, which would cost about $5,000, is more powerful than a $300 console????

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mztazmz

The above statement is not a hypothesis but a fact. Modern PC hardware can be as powerful as you want it to be. You can get four 12-core CPUs with gigabytes upon gigabytes of super fast RAM and four beefy DX11 graphics cards and you could make it even better with a custom design. That's the kind of power not even the next-gen consoles will have. Of course no games utilize all that power but PC hardware is leagues above console hardware.

I think it's time for console gamers to realize that consoles will never match (let alone top) the best PCs in power and rather stop looking for extreme power on consoles (which wasn't really ever there to be honest). The difference is much like between a top end arcade machine from the late 80s or early 90s compared to consoles of the time.

Consoles should rather focus on unique gaming experiences and good exclusive games and a low price. That's why you get a console in the first place.
