A new PC
by RK-Mara on Comments
As you might remember, my PC started acting up several months ago. In May, it finally gave up, and I've spent the summer focusing on other things such as work, my girlfriend and of course summer events. Even though I spent most of the summer working, I participated in some of the most memorable events of my life. Or how does Kaljakellunta sound to you? The basic idea is to grab anything that floats, get aboard and float along a river all day long - drinking beer of course. Anyway, last week I bought a new rig (specs below) and while I was at it, I grabbed a 27'' Asus screen as well. Everything runs and looks great, but the only problem is that games don't look that much better than on my old PC. When are there going to be games that actually take advantage of the new hardware? Developers already skipped Dx10 - I wonder if the same is happening to 11. Asus Sabertooth P67 Rev 3.0 motherboard Intel Core i5 2500k CPU 8Gb 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 1Tb Samsung HD103SJ (plus my old 500Gb Samsung HD501LJ) Asus Xonar DG soundcard Antec Sonata III case And I sure have plenty of catching up to do. Here's a complete list of games I bought during the Steam summer sale: AI War: Fleet Commander, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Eschalon: Book 2, Crayon Physics Deluxe Gridrunner Revolution, Killing Floor, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Left 4 Dead 2, Magicka, Monday Night Combat, Penny Arcade Ep 1 and 2, Port Royale 2, Quake Collection, Space Giraffe, Tropico 3, Wings of Prey, Zen Bound 2, Neverwinter Nights 2 Platinum, X3: Terran Conflict, Just Cause 2, Sanctum, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Worms Reloaded After that I've also bought Dirt 3, The Witcher 2 and Deus Ex Human Revolution so I definitely won't run out of games to play!
