AtheK Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 The f**k?! FYI, I can play BF3, Rage and Skyrim just fine on a 3.5 year old PC. and i am sure it din't even cost you more then 1200$ let alone, 3000$.

Zeehunter Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 And you have to spend that 3000 $ EVERY year to upgrade. So its not even a one time cost. Troll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 THIS! We have PC anyways PCs too are stuck in current gen because of consoles If only PC gamers had spent money and actually bought their games instead of pirating the sh*t out of them, the devs would have had enough incentive to spend some extra efforts into pushing graphics and tech into next gen. I bet right now they just want to hold on and see what hardware and SDK next gen consoles will have and adjust their PC tools according to that.

ScrewyAurum Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 To get a decent experience on the PC spending atleast 2 grand initially is necessary with yearly upgrades of 500 - 1K I can play current games like skyrim and bf 3 on my 3 year old XPS on med settings, which was totally decked out when i got it and it cost somewhere around $2900 (high cost mostly cause it was a stupid laptop) but it always nags me that I'm playing a beautiful game on sub par settings and while console games dont really look very different than that, because they are optimized for that hardware its a better experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrewyAurum Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 oh really, so 1k - 1.5k without any yearly upgrades is more than enough for an awesome gaming experience?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclops Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I think you don't know who you are up against. AtheK is a guy who at any given time has a PC which is capable of playing any game in maximum settings. Nobody here knows better about cost of PC upgrades than him.

Chuck it, let the facepalm run through. 1 lac to 1.5 lac a year for upgrade...damn that is so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclops Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 If I put 1 lakh in a PC, then I would not have to touch it for at least next 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 460 GTX which is almost 1.5 yr old now still run stuff easy on 40+ fps. You just need 3o fps constant for a great gaming experience, 40 is anyway liberty. FPS above that is E penis showoff.
