Okay, thanks for the info. I was looking at a Sound Card, and in the description it said it increases frame rate, so that's what got me thinking.

I was just wondering, if you have a good sound card, does that make the games themselves run faster and have a faster frame-rate ect... ?

Usually under 60ms is what I aim for, but in Source games, I always can get under 10ms.bungie93

I see. Does a higher quantity of players being on a server equal a higher ping?

[QUOTE="LUK3isH3RE"]I was just wondering, what would you say is approximately the max ping you can have without lagging?
Obviously I'm not expecting an exact value, but more just an estimate from experienced online PC game players.Lach0121

it depends on the game actually... for mmo's the ping can be higher without noticing much lag.. but for cod4 or something you need to be under 120 and honestly need to be under 100... hope that helps.

Okay. Well, I was just on a 64 player BF 2 match, and many people had over 200, sometimes even 300 ping and there wasn't really any lag, so I suppose it does depend on the game.

as a crt fanboy, i would have to suggest a sony gdm-fw900, one of the greatest crt's ever made, straight up HD quality 24" widescreen crt, but these are very hard to find these days, but when u do find one their usually going for cheap

but for lcd, ill suggest any of the newest samsung or LG models, those will certianly meet your expectations

although i suggest goin to a store and looking at them when it comes to monitors
kidcool189

Any idea of where I could look for one of those?

Hi. I'm buying a PC soon, and I need a Monitor with it. I also want to be able to play my consoles in 1080p, so naturally I want a 1920x1200 monitor.
Does anyone have a good suggestion on a good/fairly priced monitor of this type? I'm english by the way, so the price would be appreciated in pounds, but dollars would be fine too.

Thanks.

So what you are saying is that there is no such thing as a budget gaming rig. I mean, I hope that I'm wrong in thinking this.

See, if someone tries to sell you a $1000 PC that was built this year, and they also give you the option of buying a $1000 PC that was built in 2004, how would you rate them? With a $1000 budget, you could make a pretty good PC this year, so maybe it would get a 80/100. However, compare it to the 2004 $1000 build. That would be nowhere near what the 2008 PC performs, perhaps getting a 50/100.

See why you can't think like that? The moment variables change, the whole thing becomes a different class. That's why you can't compare a $5000 PC with a $1000 PC. Apples and oranges.

opamando

Is this directed towards me? Where did I say there is no such thing as a budget rig? Did the OP ask you to rate his budget rig or his gaming rig? And he never even gave a price, for all you know he got ripped off, and paid double for it.

Did you even read what I wrote? We are not talking about selling a PC for $1000 or a PC from 2004. The OP asked people to rate his rig. Not based on budget, but as a gaming rig.

Then you come in with a Computer to car analogy then talk about apples to apple, ok.

If you rate the OP's rig a 7 or above, how are you going to rate PC's that are just a little better to WAY better? It is not a bad rig, better than mine, but people rate these thing all over the place.

Will you stop the petty arguing please? It's not helpful in the least.
I'm paying £500 - £600 for the rig, so I'm not being ripped of by the way.

This is not petty arguing. I am having a conversation/discussion, so just ignore it if it bothers you. I never said you were getting ripped, but without telling how much, how am I supposed to know, read your mind?

What would help you, people rating you rig, ok, that's really helpfull:roll:

Oh, and there is a STICKY for just this sorta thread.

I don't make a Thread so that you can completely change the subject. And I don't want to use some sticky where a billion other people are posting their threads - I'd likely never get a definitive answer.

And EXACTLY how did I change the subject. We ALL were talking about rating a rig, And isn't that what this thread was about????? Did I miss something?????

So you are above the other posters huh. You should not have to use the sticky like everyone else? Do you know how many threads there would be if everyone made there own little topic about there brand new PC?

Yes, you may still be talking about gaming rigs, but I made this Thread so that I could get feedback before spending the best part of £600, not so that you could have an argument about a technicality in how you would rate a gaming rig. If you want to talk about that, make your own thread.

As to your frankly ridiculous comment about me thinking I'm "above" the other posters, that's stupid. I don't expect anyone to use the sticky if they don't want to - it's up to them. I personally find the concept of hundreds of people desperatly posting their specs in the same place, making them unlikely to get an answer, a broken one, so therefore I decided to make a thread.
Nobody else has complained about me making it, it's just you because you clearly have nothing better to do than pick arguments about etiquette on a gaming forum. Now would you please stop wasting my time.
