Aftrunner Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) The Steam Deal/Sale Thread Here is where we post the best deals on Steam and also help others in emptying their (and our own) wallets and increasing the backlog of games. Steam unable to update itself and deleting clientregistry.blob doesnt work? Try this.... -Download TCPView. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx -Whenever that happens, open TCPView & find Steam in the list of processes. -Right Click, Close Connection. -Steam will open up a new connection with (probably) a new host. -Repeat until you get a stable download rate.

Aftrunner Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Actually I would happily pay that amount in USD for a DVD. I shudder to think all the time needed to download that on my puny 256 k connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Wolf Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'd say you'd need a dedicated GPU at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 @supersim - your gfx card will be the hurdle. Check out systemrequirementlabs with your pc for the games. Also, for whoever buys the games, you don't have to download it all at once. I think Steam will just put the codes in your account - after that you can dl as many times as you want.

Bulovski Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 paging Athek here for gfx card queries - if budget is a constraint get a mid-range card (within 8k) which will help you play most games on med settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Wolf Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Grab an ATI HD4850 - costs around 9.5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 yup as firewolf said pick a 4850 for 9k its great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_del Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hot Damn! Is it available on Indian Steam accounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Depends on your budget. If you are willing to spend around 9-10k the ATI 4850 is good. The 9600 is about 6 k which is not half bad. Lastly you have 8600 around 4 K. All of them will the games from steam at high-very high settings.

MarketTantrik Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hot Damn! Is it available on Indian Steam accounts? All Steam titles are available everywhere, arent they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_del Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 No, they are not. Ubisoft titles are generally region locked. Same goes for some amazing bundle packs like the one we are discussing. If I remember right, the GTA pack containing all GTA PC versions till date at an amazing price point was region locked. Same for the Rockstar pack as well. Nash could have checked and told us, but his Steam account is not an Indian account I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
