I suppose the answer to that is what you want out of your game and whether you'd be willing to say you wasted money buying much more power than you needed? My PC doesn't have the best specs ever but I haven't ever not been able to play something. So what you need to ask yourself is whether you want a game that looks good or a game that uses all your PC's abilities. They are linked to a point of course but on the other hand if you code it badly you could probably make a really poor-quality game that sucks your machine dry. Personally I'd prefer having a game that was efficiently coded, looked amazing and left 60% of computer idle.Splicer-Fox wrote:Are there any games that use all the power we put in thees PC's?
I know the Total War series and Cry Engine pushes the requirements a bit.
But are there any games that are made for the hard core Gaming PC?
I think Minecraft and Skyrim can be modded to push the GFX.

C'mon, boosting minecrafts render distance is totally not useless, and I think you can pretty much boost it as much as your pc can handle...

I want to know If there are any games out there that will complement the my PC's performance.
I already know of the few That I mentioned.

Re: Tell us your system.
I was searching for a topic such as this. But it seems dead. Maybe my post will awaken it.
My specs are as follows:
OS - Windows 7 xDark Deluxe 64-bit
CPU - Intel E5200 Dual-core @2.50 GHz (overclocked to 2.9 GHz)
RAM - 4GB DDR 3 (can't remember the speed)
HDD - 300 GB Sata
Monitors - two 1280x1024 displays (one is normal LCD and the other is CRT.)
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 TI
Mouse - E-Blue Cobra Dark Knight Gaming Mouse
Keyboard -normal Lenovo Keyboard... Cant remenber the actual name of it but it's good for me.
Sound System - Creative 5.1 surround sound system
Some of the components in my computer are very old and needs replacing. But it's still kicking with the latest games and software. Crysis 2 ran at around 30 FPS with full graphical settings. But I'm getting an upgrade soon hopefully.

AIO coolers are for sissies.
Also get an SSD, and screen?

Re: Tell us your system.
My screen is actually my Tv ^..^ Running an Samsung 37inch HD Tv, because why not... (And cause my screen died on me XD)
I don't care much for an SSD, doesn't tickle my fancy enough to spend R1k on 128GB just for my OS, boot times aren't a problem anyway...
And as for cooling, I personally prefer closed loop, I don't want something huge, just something sufficient ^..^

Re: Tell us your system.
I just made some major upgrades, so let me post my new specs.
Mobo: Gigabyte P85-D3
Processor: Intel Core i5 4590 @ 3.3GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR3 (1333MHz) [will upgrade to 8GB at some point]
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 (1GB DDR3)
PSU: 550W
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
I am so happy right now! This doesn't even compare to what I had before.

Re: Tell us your system.
Why did you get a 630? That's not going to run anything properly.
Re: Tell us your system.
I didn't, it was a gift from when I had my old setup, which drastically improved it. Not all of us can afford the fancy stuff all at once. I'm very happy that this already takes me several steps up. Please don't ruin my jubilation by telling me it could be better, I'm well aware of that.Sev wrote:Why did you get a 630? That's not going to run anything properly.
