If AA is not written into the code of a game, then it's not running AA. Your card can force it, but it's not actually AA.

PC games running at 1080p became more common once this generation of consoles released.

Granted, 1080p did originally begin with PCs, but it didn't flourish until PS3/360 came to the scene.

When was the last time you played in 3480x2400? And when was the last time you saw a monitor capable of those resolutions?

Exactly. :|

last night at a retalier, why? does it mean i own one? no.

its the same as sayng everysingle 360 owner plays on a 56'' HDTV

thats because the techlogy got avaliable to more pc users it has nothing to do with console games, it got cheaper to own a big lcd screen, and most games suported HD resolution, so your point is flawed.

and since in both cases its the video card that does the AA so it is still AA the game is just not opmized to do it, so more FPS's will be sacrificied to make it happen, it still is and it will still look like Anti Aliasing

I'll would get it for PC but I will be too busy with Crysis.Swiftie101

il buy both, iam hyped about crysis but i love the Ut gameplay

That's a bunch of BS. PC Gamers constantly have to deal with lower resolution output, and less AA on many games. I'm surprised most of you don't realize that PC gaming is a HASSLE.

Forcing AA on PC games using your video cards means it's not running natively. PCs recently recieved high definition visuals thanks to the introduction of the Xbox 360 console. IF it wasn't for the 360, the PC wouldn't have 1080p visuals.

hahahahahaha

i love the smell of a newborn sig!

lol this guy completely skiped the article, and all the posts on this thread just to lie at himself

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] Not really. I mean you could just pick up the parts from Bestbuy or Circuit City and spend a minute or so putting it in your computer and another minute installing the drivers. ZOMG TEH FIVE MINUTES.Vandalvideo

Depends what kind of PC casing you got. Personally, I have a problem with missing screws everytime I unscrew something. Takes awhile for me.

And drivers.... lol drivers.... the most disgusting thing Microsoft could have ever come up with.

i only use screws on hardware parts, my case screws are usually on my desk, since they are not really needed, and there are better cases with better screws that can be unscrewed with bare hands, but i dont like spending more then 30$ on a case =p.

ps3 since my monitor is a hunk of junk and i need a monitor for my media center pc in my living room.if i can find one ill get it on my pc but theyres enough games to buy as it is so ps3 for now.k-diddy66

hook your pc to your tv, that should do it

[QUOTE="Deihmos"]I don't understand how Xfire can compare to Xbox Live. If I am playign a game there is no way of me knowing if said person is using Xfire or not. It only works if you know people that use the software. it's like Windows Messenger.Deihmos

you can search a user up on the xfire, i for one dont like using this sort of program even tho i have an xfire account and log in on it ocanisialy, Steam could also be compared to live even tho they are not the same, the thing is pc dosent need something like live to make online easyer as it already is easy enough, there is a Live version for pc tho, i doubt any pc user would pay to have achivements and a few other perks

I have an Xfire account also but have not logged in or installed it in over a year. I did not comment on steam because all I ever used itdid is buy a game and I did not check out the new features they added.The article suggests Xfire is comparable to Live. That is a horrible comparison. For a messenger service there should be more people logged on at any given time but that is not the case.

Once again, the koolaid is being consumed. Xfire provides everything Live offers minus achievments. Steams new community features are outstanding and easily top Live's service as it's not only free, it offers clan and live chat featurs completely missing from Live.

"But say you don't want to build your own PC. We understand-it can be intimidating."

there are so many things wrong with that its hard to know where to start.

Deihmos

Like what? A lot of people *are* intimidated by the thought of building their own PC.

i 'dont want to' go into work tomorrow, but that doesnt mean i'm physically unable to do it.

i hate how hermits talk down to people who play on consoles like they dont know how pcs work and pc gaming is the only way to learn.

I don't understand why some act as if owning a computer is anything special.We all have computers and all ofthey are all capable of playing games.

It's not special to have a computer, but having a Gaming PC that you build yourself is a hobby into itself. I can understand why Fakeboys and PC haters have a hard time understanding that.

I build my own PC and do so as a hobby and I love my PC but don't go around gloating about building one or being a "PC gamer" and consoles dumbing down. The way i see it the two don't belong in the same sentence because they are totally different. I wonder how anyone can hate a Computer especially since we all have to use one everyday.

The article addresses the major myths people throw out every single time against PC Gaming, not against PC's. You should know, PC Gaming is always under fire here at GS, but rarely if ever have I ever seen you side with PC Gaming. It's always negative comments from you in reguards to PC Gaming, not PC's. Again, it's PC Gaming we're talking about, not PC's in general.

Most people don't know how to upgrade a video card much less change the ram so what can you expect? I play games for fun so not into the PC is greater than console argument. I wouldn't chose one over other because they both serve their respective purpose. The PS3 or Wii is a different story because I would never buy any of them.

i did not agree with the Xfire compariison though. Until games come with built in Xfire support and everyone on the server is using Xfire you just can't compare them.

Found my old Xfire account. Can't believe it's still active

if a game forced me to use xfire, i woudnt buy it, simple as that
