Definitely the fourth one. Couldn't get the BF3 beta working, tried like 5 solutions, in the end it screwed up my PC and had to do a system recovery. It just makes me sick, then I thought back about my xbox 360, which never had even one issue to play its games.

what were you dealing with ?
The game would first get stuck at the little joining screen, which after a while I could fix. Then another error occured, not being able to connect to the server. I looked up the best solutions, none helped. At one of them all my icons on the pc, all of them, became the BF3 one for some reason. They couldn't be changed or anything. Then I did a system recovery and rage quit that night.The next morning it suddenly worked, when barely anyone was playing. It was the last day too, I wanted to try caspian border. But good fight, my motherboard with integrated graphics just sucked too much. RAGED so hard. LOL.
Did you install the beta drivers and REALLY?
the integrated GPU is probably part of the problem especially if ur using an intel one.

Very funny, I'm surprised by now you still didn't realize how wrong you are. lol Pentium d family?? is this a joke? the world couldn't be careless it's a duo core or not when it behind all single core P4 3.0ghz CPU in nearly every performance(especially gaming)
http://techreport.com/articles.x/8369/5
you are stretching too far from the original object, where the other poster was right and you weren't, with a rig like P4+7800GT or your punny Pentium D+7800GT, which cost far more than $600 back then, what game can you run today more than 5 fps with lowest setting?
AOE3 is probalby the only game I played from 2004-2006(rank 34 Lieutenant Colonel) brought a 7800GT pretty much just for that, unfortunately at intense online 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3, it struggle with 15-30fps. but I guess you only played single player portion on that one nor I think you own a card like that.
[QUOTE="starjet905"]AGP to PCI Express? The jump had already happened. Your example, the 7800GT primarily came in a PCI Express flavour. And can't even get games started? Shows how little you know. Most games even available today can be played at low settings on a 7800GT. And about the "can't get any games started" bit? Even a 6200 can start many of today's games, although 1 to 5 FPS wouldn't be playablestarjet905
why repeat the point where you already got schooled? 7800GT could probably still run games at lowest setting with 1-5 fps, however not with a P4(or your pentium D LAWLz!)with any rig from 4-6 year old(let along a $600 ones) you can hardly do anything today, let along matching the console experience. and why are you proving my point again? APG to PCI express transaction first started @ 7xxx generation , it's PCI expresso only, but there are also APG version
You don't need an i7 930 to max out Crysis. If you think that's necessary, either you're not a PC gamer like you claim (in which case you're a liar) or you're from some other planet. o.O And the rest of it is still pulling out **** about ridiculous requirementsstarjet905
kid, just because someone able to point out your ignorance, it doesn't make him less a PC gamer, there's no way a single platform guy like you can match me on PC/console gaming knowledge. Plus, you are in what position to tell someone when to upgrade? I upgrade PC to get maximum experience, there are more PC games needs 6-8 threads cores than you know, start from RF:G, BF:BC2, GTAIV(though I beat 3 times on console before PC's release) you will need at least a 4 thread core to run these games @ an playable fps
You think that 61 in the corner is supposed to prove that you have a GTX 480? Why is it a shot of just looking at the sky with just a tiny bit of foliage seen? Oh, and wait, you're in the menu. And it's actually 1024x640 which is sub-HD. Even the Crysis console version gives a better resolution. Anyway, I'm out of this. No use trying to explain, cause you fanboys know only to bring up personal attacks and twist facts. But then again, maybe that's the point of system wars.starjet905
ROFL@ at your 1024x640, that's imageshack's resize which fit the forum view the best. I don't know why I have to prove my rig to someone on internet especially since GTX480 isn't even the best card, but for one last time.
Being an @ss hole doesn`t make you right. A PC is about twice the price of a console. Whether I can afford it or not doesn`t matter. I would rather own two consoles then one PC. Because I don`t want to deal with tweaking settings, doesn`t mean I am incapable of doing so. I don`t really notice the difference between 1080p on my HDTV and 360, and a high end PC playing the same game.[QUOTE="starjet905"] Except exclusives, there is nothing a PC can do a that a console can`t do cheaper. Steam and other services on PC for free while you have to pay for XBL and it even though PSN is free Steam and other services offer more then it like Cross game chat.(This is a joke, but it has a little truth behind it.) [QUOTE="Goro69"] People accuse PC gamers of being elitist because they're too stupid to do simple tasks and they have no point to make. They have no argument, that's why they resort to personal attacks. Or they're upset they can't build their own PC. You people are all over the place first it's the cost, then it's you want to sit on a sofa then it's because my wife plays hello kitty with me.Fact is you're either not smart enough for PC gaming or you're too poor. Pick one or the other. Judging by the fact you spent 600$ on a video game console I would suspect you're not poor therefore you fall into the first group mentioned.blahsalt48
If you look lower right corner you'll notice that the game is giving you the option to click on optimal settings and allow the game to chose settings it thinks that's best for you. Most games these days will auto detect hardware for you when you first launch it or give you the option to have the game choose it for you if it doesn't do it automatically.If they are side by side I notice a diffirence, but I have only played one version of a game at a time before. Graphics alone have never been a big factor for me. I am not a big fan of MMOs. I could get into RTS`s, but one genera, that I don`t have much experience with, isn`t worth buying a gaming PC. If somebody gave me one, then I would dabble. But I have grown up with console games. I just prefer them. But I will say this, you and the vast majority of console gamers here know absolutely nothing about PC gaming, you don't own a PC capable of playing games and you simply don't want to know. Which means you're entering a debate with no credibility.Goro69I admit, I don`t own, and never have owned a gaming PC. But with the wondrous thing called the internet, you can learn anything. I had interest in the subject, so I have researched everything about PC gaming thoroughly. With your logic history ****is useless because we were not there and so can not possibly understand.

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]That looks pretty cool and all. Lemme ask you this though... what exactly is it proving? Has anyone ever claimed a $600 pc in 2011 wasn't more powerful than a $200 console in 2011? If I didn't already have a gaming system and I was going to spend $600 today, I could buy a PS3, 360, and a Wii.... If you want to impress me, show me a $200-250 pc at today's prices that can run modern games, or a $400-$600 pc from 2005-6 that can still run all the games released for the platform
ianuilliam
:P this about double of $200-250 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afKIBJ3zC7M&feature=related
Didn't watch the video, but $480? Again, not impressed that you can get a pc that costs as much now as a 360 or PS3 did in 2005-6, or 2 times what they cost now. That doesn't really dispel the idea that unless you specifically want pc exclusives, consoles are the better value.
