[QUOTE="lowe0"][QUOTE="RyviusARC"][QUOTE="PC360Wii"] What baffles me I could of sworn he has posted different specs before, alot more humble than this.

What is also weird is that he puts an H60 in the list for cooling when that is low end for water cooling and their are much better alternatives for even air cooling. I would expect him to get an H100 instead if he was a Corsair fan which seems right since most of his hardware is from that brand. Also 850w is kind of cutting it close with his setup. It enough to power it all but most people with that kind of setup would prefer a higher watt PSU. Especially if they do any overclocking. PSUs degrade over time and their efficiency lowers. Having more wattage than needed is often good because of this and also it will run cooler.

560s (actually, 560 Tis), not 580s. 850W makes a lot more sense. As for my job, I'm a software developer. I said I make my money off the platform, not that specific machine. And finally, as for my specs changing, I'm amused - if my machine wasn't up to date, I'd get mocked for that instead.

Since when does a Software developer rely heavily on graphics cards? well obviously depending on each area. but again, some proof would be good, which you are willfully dodging as always. pasting specs means nothing.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="lowe0"] If I recall correctly, you asked, and were answered, in a previous thread. I would have preferred to withhold specs until the sucker agreed to make the donation, but since I don't have a lot of faith in him returning, let alone manning up, here they are again:

  • Corsair Obsidian 650D
  • Corsair AX850
  • Core i7-2600
  • EVGA Z68 SLI
  • 2x EVGA GTX 560 2GB
  • Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600C8
  • 2x Corsair Force 3 60GB (RAID 0)
  • Seagate 2TB HDD
  • Creative Recon3D PCIe
  • Corsair SP2500
  • Corsair Obsidian 650D
  • Corsair AX850
  • Corsair H60
  • Razer Blackwidow keyboard
  • Razer Imperator 2012 mouse
  • 3x ASUS 22" LED-LCD
  • Ergotech triple monitor stand
  • Win7 Home Premium x64
  • Minimal software loaded - Chrome, Steam, Origin, MSE

Edit: ah, yes, here was the thread in question:

Oh, I forgot all about that...also, nice rig, better than mine.

It's not bad. And yet, it supposedly doesn't exist... still waiting for that guy to come back and back up his accusation.

I want 2 2GB 560s so bad, had to settle with 2 1GB 460s though.

I'll admit I like this part - it's where whoever accused me of lying (and whoever joined in) gets served a steaming hot plate of crow. Eat up!   Now, will this finally be the last time I'm accused of lying? It's got to be getting pretty humiliating for you guys by now.

I like having the option, though it doesn't always work out. For example, Deus Ex HR worked great, and so I played it on PC. Skyrim is broken on triple monitor, and so I said screw it and picked up a 360 copy on sale and am playing that.

Are you going anywhere with this train of thought?

Why don't you get that? Experiencing PC gaming as it is meant to be experienced does not, and should not, automatically mean the PC is your world. I love PC gaming, but console gaming is awesome as well.

Only thing that makes zero sense on lowe0 argument is that he always claims not to be a Pc gamer but plays Pc games. You always see him in the Pc threads goign off on Pc gamers while claiming himself not. Those 2 defining parts conflict with each other. You do not have to be exclusive to any one platform but to state such nonsense is hilarious at best and sad at worst.

I think he is stiuplating that he is not of the PC gaming crowd. He plays PC games, but doesn't associate with the group of "PC gamers" whether through stereotypes or personal opinion.

That statement still does not define that he plays and enjoys playing games on a Pc just as if any other platform. When you come into threads going off on any Pc gamer (trust me, lowe0 and me go back years on SW now) then try to define yourself as not a pc gamer it sounds like a pure hypocrit. I too don't associate with the group of "Pc gamers" but that does not define tht when I enjoy a game on the Pc, I am at the moment a Pc gamer. I do know where your coming from lundy but with all the jabs lowe0 does in SW over the last 3-4 years, you start to think of the hilarity of it. Me and lowe0 have argued this for years but you will still see this type of issue come up with him everytime he comes in troll jabbing some pc focus members statement.

Why not? One can enjoy an activity and yet not associate with those who participate in said activity (if it is a single-person oriented activity). I don't see any necessary association with the stereotypes, nor the actual gamers. The same could be said of team supporters not supporting the activity of the fans (Many teams in England had very aggressive fans, such as a Warrington vs Wigan rugby match I attended).

I know lowe's activity, and whilst I may disagree on many points of his, he is a well articulated poster. His points are not made scathingly.

Being a Pc gamer and having something common with a community is 2 unique things. At the moment you start a game on your sli'd triple screen beast rig, you are a Pc gamer jsut as me turning on a 360 and starting a game has the same variable. That is the pure base. Associating with a community and there feelings is something completely different unless your trying a state a person enjoying games on a PC is not a Pc gamer and only if you agree with principles of some stereotyped community that it defines the variable "Pc gamer"

That's just the office. The living room has the 360 on a 55" Samsung LCD (I prefer LCD; no burn-in) and Onkyo/Polk Audio. The bedroom's a Sony 3D set and the PS3. A Kuro's damn good, but I think I'll stick with what I have.

This is a debate forum. By definition, I'm going to have to pick a side.

And a "beast rig" would have at least three cards in it, if not two dual-GPU cards. Two GPUs and a quad-core instead of a hex-core is still pretty mid-range in the spectrum of currently available hardware.

Sorry, my Kuro destroys any lcd. Any AV forum will tell you this. Preferring something doesn't mean it is better, at all. Someone can prefer a bicycle for racing, does that mean the bicycle is better than a car for racing? I don't car ehow many screens you have, they all have terrible blacks and motion. My Kuro is the closest thing to OLED in the world, and it is a 60". Led-lcd is garbage, and you have a Samsung on top of it. Feel sorry for you.

You have to pick a side? Don't really see that one considering I never have taken a "side". That does not even begin to discuss how you somehow deny yourself as being a Pc gamer soley because you don't agree with what you believe the "community" dictates. Doesn't make any lick of sense to me

Personally, 2 mid range gpu's slied, on a good quad core with triple screen would put you a bit farther then mid range even at current available hardware.

PC is, with no doubt in my mind, the best platform for gaming this year. Some of the very best games came out on PC and a hell of a lot more than the consoles. Not a big shocker there. It might take more work and upkeep but it is a far superior tool for gaming, when properly used.

It really doesn't make sense to you to say "I don't really agree with that guy, or that guy, or that guy, or... (repeat); maybe I shouldn't call myself one of them"? Seriously? Try the other side on for size - how ridiculous would it sound if I were to just start going along like I was one of you? Not going to go over very well.

Debating is one thing but your stating your whole argument that "I must choose a side" therefore I choose to troll Pc gamers while not calling myself a Pc gamer. When challenged, I show off my Pc (this is the second or 3rd time i;ve seen you do this). You do know I don't go along with ALot of people right? (Notice I am challenging your nonsense that your not a Pc gamer because you don't follow some set "community?).

Can I ask who you are talking about with "I was one of you?" (Lumping in people as part of this "community" conspiracy?

Man, your argument has lost some substance here. I don't agree with a prethara of members on this forum be it for any platform neither do I side with some affiation base on some "community". That does not change anything that when I play my Pc I am at that time a Pc gamer just as playing on a console would dictate a console gamer. Personally, your whole denial argument as justification for trash talk sounds offbase. You like consoles, you like the Pc, you don't agree with others.. simple but to try to distance yourself to trash talk is just pure hypocrisy bro.

[spoiler] Might want to read what this forum is about as its actually more then just debating even if thats what most do. [/spoiler]

When challenged, I show off my Pc (this is the second or 3rd time i;ve seen you do this). you do know I don't go along with ALot of people right? (Notice I am challenging your nonsense that your not a Pc gamer because you don't follow some set "community?").

No idea what your really talking about ? Can I ask who you are talking about with "I was one of you?"

Man, your argument has lost some substance here. I don't agree with a prethara of members on this forum be it for any platform neither do I side with some affiation base on some "community" That does not change anything that when I play my Pc I am at that time a Pc gamer just as playing on a console would dictate a console gamer. Personally, your whole denial argument as justification for trash talk sounds offbase. You like consoles, you like the Pc, you don't agree with others.. simple but to try to distance yourself from what you like to trash talk is just pure hypocrisy bro.

Please. If my only interest was talking trash, I could do that with just about anything. Hell, I've spent plenty of time trashing PS3 fans for their arrogance during the early days of this gen.

Besides, you're blaming me when the whole discussion could have easily been avoided. The guy who said that I didn't have a gaming PC could have paused a moment, said to himself "do I have any proof for the accusation I'm about to make?", and subsequently skipped the whole thing.

Hell, the legions of people who have lifted Yahtzee's material and taken it upon themselves to "educate" the "peasants" could have avoided the whole mess as well. (And before you ask about the obvious converse, yes, I've taken fellow consolites to task for attempting the whole "basement-dwelling virgin" line of argument.) So, it's a touch late to blame me for having a perspective borne from countless examples, not just here, but from other fora as well (Blue's, HardOCP, and Steam's User Forums, for a few examples).

Please note, my whole discussion is a bit outside the scope of this troll thread. Its about your denial of being a PC gamer, playing and enjoying many a game on the Pc, and feeling you somehow are above others and can jab at them for playing "that platform". Sounds like you have some deep down stereotype issue at play when it comes to Pc gaming in general. I also have many issues but that does not disallow that many of the jabs you make at members on the Pc comes off pretty hilarious considering they incompass yourself. You may try to state you somehow above being a "pc gamer" but thats meaningless since you play games on your PC. I understand you don't agree with many PC gamers and have somehow clumped all of those who play on the pc as "that community" but that does not deter anything.

I don't jab at people because of their choice of platform; I jab at them because of their choice of words. I have no problem with someone wanting to game on PC, but I do like to pick apart posts from people who consider themselves superior to console gamers, because I have such a convenient counterexample. I liked picking apart PS3 gamers who thought 360 gamers were just too poor to pay $599 for a console. I liked picking apart Wii gamers who insisted that only children enjoy mature-rated games.

Of course, there are plenty of other times when I've posted rationales for my opinions and why I like things to work the way they do. Those invariably get ignored. I can explain why I'm statistically more likely to get the kind of game I want from matchmaking, or lean on my experience implementing user interfaces to explain why even a well-designed UI for a mouse and keyboard just isn't going to work well from a couch with a gamepad, but all I'll get in response is the same sequence of stock answers:

  • I'm only saying that because I don't game on PC,
  • I must be too poor to own a PC,
  • it must not be a good PC,
  • I must be too dumb to use a PC,
  • and eventually, I must be lying about one of the above.

So, what's the point? What benefit would I get from joining up?

Maybe he is a Masochist. Why else would you waste boat loads of money on something you do not use. He says he has a job in software development but his computer build is meant for gaming. He must be super rich and just doesn't care when he blows a few k away.

Factually incorrect. I know Borderlands and Deus Ex have more time on them than that. Do you even bother to check your facts before posting? Oh, and where's that irrefutable proof of my level of technical competency? I mean, you wouldn't have called it into question earlier without evidence, right? Just a polite reminder.

PC is, with no doubt in my mind, the best platform for gaming this year. Some of the very best games came out on PC and a hell of a lot more than the consoles. Not a big shocker there. It might take more work and upkeep but it is a far superior tool for gaming, when properly used.jer_1

The only PC game i played this year is Witcher 2 and i plan to buy it on 360 for the far better controls and graphics than my PC

I mainly play Dark Souls these days, which is not on PC

Also Clash of Heroes on XBLA, again not on PC

And Gears 3, Halo CE remake, not on PC

And Rayman Origins, not on PC

Generally only a 10% of the games i want to play are on PC and all of those are also on my xbox 360

.

So, how was PC the best platform for gaming this year ?

You will just say that those games are terrible and the ones on 360 are (random number) times better:lol:

That number is inflated by how Steam defines a game; a lot of DLC, expansions, episodes, etc. are counted as a game. However, that's now two questions you refuse to answer. Was your statement that I had at most one game with 1-2 hours of play time correct, and where is your evidence of a supposed lack of technical competence on my part? Your inability to back up your claims amuses me.

Why I prefer console gaming.

Its cheaper, I bought a console when it was released and it can still play games today perfectly, I can't say that about my PC.

I prefer Xbox Live to Steam, I don't mind paying a monthly fee especially when there are deals like a 1 month for $1. I personally prefer Xbox Live to Steam though because XBL parties work great for me and I just perfer the mechanics and look of Xbox Live to Steam.

I'm not interested in modding, I've experienced it on PC in games like CSS and TF2 and while it can be fun for a while, it lost its appeal for me and doesn't influence me enough to care for it.

I honestly don't care if the graphics are better either, if the graphics on my 360 looked like original Xbox graphics then it would but I'm perfectly fine with console graphics.

I can't stand the majority of PC gamers because they always seem to have a problem or a pole up their ***. The fact they boycotted Left 4 Dead 2 when it was coming out, Boycotted BF3 when those who pre ordered it were going to recieve exclusive bonuses, feel the need to constantly remind console gamers how much better PC graphics are as if we didn't hear them the first 50, 000 times. I'd honestly rather hear some annoying kids over a mic on Xbox then PC gamers whining about how companies don't respect them enough or how console gamers are jokes. A lot of them also pirate games and I don't support that.

I just perfer consoles but PC gamers won't accept opinions that differ from theirs, at least most of them.

think you saw, or only listened to, one side of the many arguments. when someone comes out saying the PC doesn't have that much better graphics or that the few hundred dollars more for a decent gaming PC isn't worth the money is when the ranting about PC superiority usually starts.

I don't know anyone and didn't read anyone here even saying they boycotted Battlefield 3, unless they were diehard Call of Duty fan.

Games for Windows Live is almost exactly the same as Xbox Live, but free.

you're argument bout how a game from 360 launch is still playable on the 360 is also pretty off base. if you had a gaming PC in 2005 you could still play games that were 2005-6 quality on that system. same as with a 360 or PS3.

the "system wars" going on are mostly bored kids starting crap online just to be in some BS they are too p*ssy to get into in real life. "you're a hermit!", "you're an ignorant noob!", "i have better graphics!", "i have better games!". you're all a bunch of idiots!! see, it's fun. these are a great place to let off some steam at some semi-innocent fools.

Of course we wouldn't accept a consolite opinions, just as we find those who believe the world is flat just as laughably ridiculous.

I'm usually on here from my phone. Most of my free time is in chunks of a few minutes, so I use the device I already have in hand. But yes, my desktop has a connection all the time.
