In The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition, which playthrough will reveal the content that involves the screenshots below? Screenshots are from the Steam store. I have played Iorveth path and Roche path, before the Enhanced Edition dlc updates and one playthrough on the Roche path after the Enhanced Editon. I am guessing the Radovid screenshots are from the Iorveth path, I just want to make sure. I never saw Radovid with troops marching or on a boat with some kind of sorceress lady with her hands tied up. Maybe this is all in some cut scenes. I also do recall seeing a picture in a magazine of large amount of people in a throne room with what looked like Radovid on the throne anyone know when that happend?

I play games at 2560 X 1600 and in a game like Crysis 3 I can not completely max out all of the settings, so overall I want to be future proof if I ever go for something like 2 GTX Titans with a better power supply. The Titan and I am guessing some of the next round of Nividia cards will go up a 4096 x 2160 resolution. When prices become more affordable I would love to game at 4K on a 4K tv. Do pc games actually go above 2560 X 1600 currently, I guess they do for people who use more than one monitor.   I want to upgrade my two GTX 680s to two GTX Titans , or something similar or the cheaper Titans that will release sometime soon. I am running a Corsair TX750w power supply now. I am assuming I should upgrade to at least 1000w or 1200w or maybe 850w , can someone please recommned a good power supply and the correct watts I should use? I was thinking of buying this power supply  OCZ ZX Series 1000W Fully-Modular 80PLUS Gold High Performance Power Supply   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341045 

Currently my pc has a bluray drive, i7 3770k, asus z77 sabertooth motherboard, corsair h80i,  8gb ram, 1.5tb 72000 rpm drive storage, 250gb ssd (main drive, steam, adobe and microsoft software, etc....), 128gb ssd uplay, origin, 2GB GTX 680 in sli, 750w power supply, and so far everything runs great. this will all be transfered to my fractal r4 case, however i want to buy and install the better power supply before I rebuild the computer so that i can be prepared for a two titian, or two 690s, or similar setup.

I have a  TX 750W Corsair power supply that is a few years old. The PSU works fine with my current build with an Intel 3770k processor, Asus sabertooth z77 motherboard,  3 SSDs, 1 mechanical drive, 2 GTX 680s, 8GB ram, and a bluray drive.   I am about to add a Corsair H80i to the computer which would require 1 or 2 more fans and pump power I am assuming my current power supply should be ok with that?  I was thinking of upgrading to two Nvidia Titan cards and getting into overclocking with the cpu and gpus, with that kind of set up should I go with something like a 1000w psu if I do that?

I've been gaming on my pc in a couch for over a year now. It sucks. I hate it.. My damn arm rest is my mouse pad. Time for a change lol. I'm just waiting on the courage to drop the cash on a 1600p monitor. And.. while I'm hear I'd like to ask. How many applications actually support 1600p?Motokid6
I own a 1600p monitor and every game I play has supported 2560 X 1600. Some examples are Bioshock Infintie, Dead Space 3, Assassins Creed 3, Crysis 3. Far Cry 3, etc...... I can fit a lot on the screen in a Windows environment which lets me get things done quiker with work. Other than what I mentioned besides games I am not sure what else utilizes 1600p.

no problems leaking, however, pump rattle with old h60 and new h80i has stripped threading for fan screws on the radiator and the screws do not stay in place.

HR looks really good on pc. havent seen it on a console before. but i doubt it looks better. sounds like a console fanboy thing to say. pc will always look better

_SKatEDiRt_

i have seen Deus Ex HR on ps3 and it looks know where near as good as the pc version. (just like every other game)

http://www.penny-arcade.com/report/article/forget-boss-fights-deus-ex-on-wii-u-has-graphic-improvements-new-game-play in the article linked above it says that

"Right now, this is the best-looking Deus Ex, Pedneault said. It's even sharper than the PC version. While the game does look noticeably nicer than it did on 360 and PS3, I couldn't compare it to a high-end PC, and when I pressed Pendeault to be specific about performance differences, he would only say that the team has worked on adjusting the game's engine, and that the Wii U hardware helped with that task."

I recall Deus EX HR maxed out on pc was not the best looking pc game however it did look excellent in my opinion while maxed out at 1080p. I have seen the Wii U in action (with other games) and the graphics still seem kind of jaggy and no better than the 360 or ps3 graphics. Does the Wii U version honestly look better than the pc version maxed out at 1080p? I don't even see how that is possible. At the very least I would think Deus Ex HR running in 2560 X 1600 will certainly look better than the Wii u version. Can't wait to try that on my new monitor.

Being that there is no fee for game companies to add game updates on pc, hopefully the pc version will see some of the wii u updates.

[QUOTE="horgen123"][QUOTE="darksusperia"] Depends on the source of said sound. Most games dont output in 5.1 or 7.1. If the source can and has a 5.1 sound source then its fine, otherwise, you will need a sound card that can encode stereo sources into dolby.darksusperia
Most PC games or games in general?

in general. I should elaborate. if you have surround speakers that plug into the individual outputs you're good. if your using optical, then the source must either come as a dolby 5.1 track (bluray/dvd movies etc) or you must have a card that can encode any stereo source into dolby 5.1

 

when you say "individual outputs" do you mean the typical orange, green,  blue, black, gray colored inputs on motherboards and sound cards? where d you get "speakers that plug into the individual outputs" if it is related ot the multi colored pc sound ports (note: my z9056 speakers do what I am asking however I am wondering if there is something like that in 7.1? also i noticed many big title pc games support 5.1 sound ( i have Logitech z906 spoakers - recently bought better yamaha 5.1 speakers and will buy a receiver soon).  borderlands 2, batman ac, deus ex hr all say dolby digital on the back and i have heard clear directional surround sound when playing those games.  also Dishonored and Dead Space 3 have a 5.1 option in the menu (don't know what box says I purchase the digital versions. as far as most games not outputting to 5.1 or 7.1 which ones are you referring to, becasue currently I am having hard time thinking of one that does not support at least 5.1?

For 5.1 gaming or 7.1 gaming is it best to just use HDMI from your graphics card  to a receiver that is 5.1 and 7.1 capable or to use a high end sound card with optical to a receiver for 5.1 and 7.1?  Besides things like Dolby headphone, better control of your microphone, is there any mahor benefit of a sound card driving headphones and speakers as supposed to a receiver?

no need to upgrade your monitor. however dvi has the benefit of gaming beyond 1080p (such as 2560 x 1600 which is incredible) and stereoscopic 3d gaming with nvidia 3d vision at 1080p at 120hz (which is also incredible), you will need a DVI-D cable for 3d
