Also, it's not the size of the hard drive that matters. It's how you ram it. And by ram it, I mean put it in the cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugJr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 CV, just because you use your ram as a HD does not mean your HD is better than his. Also, size does not matter. We have these old super computers that are HUGE and yet can be slower than modern machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PugJr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Have you played crysis on it yet? EDIT: If your computer can't run crysis on highest settings, your computer sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Have you played crysis on it yet? EDIT: If your computer can't run crysis on highest settings, your computer sucks. I can with 16x AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugJr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 1 FPS? Edit: Oops, I mean not being able to just run crysis on the highest, I also mean getting 40 FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Haha, yeah yeah, thats just a minor detail. I can get a decent FPS off most games @ highest settings, and have run Crysis on High (not ultra because didn't have dx10 at the time) with I think it was 8xAA and still was hitting low-mid 40FPS.

PugJr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 But the question is, does your computer beat nadeem and maybe CV if he tells us the exact specifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I've never played this game. Never even heard of it before now. I'm not really much of a gamer anymore. 99% of my involvement in games these days is from buying it for my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugJr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Woah, not a game lover!? I couldn't live on without them. (Well I could but thats besides the point.) You are missing out on alot, CV. CV, when you get angry and want to punch/beat up/etc. someone, what do you do? Myself, I go on crysis, grab some bad guy by the neck and throw him off a ledge. That'll teach him!

corbin Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The only game I've ever played for a long time was RuneScape and then Lineage II. I can run Lineage II with highest of every setting. Crysis would probably rape my computer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugJr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah, possibly. Possibly not though, corbin. I can run crysis on a 9600 ati with 2.2ghz single core on lowest settings with about...10-20 FPS. My computer isn't exactly new, so unless your computer is older, you'll be able to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha well I didn't say I'm not a game lover. I mean, I used to really get into them. Hell, I spent most of my life poking at code for the sole reason of wanting to make a game, even since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. But then I grew up, got married, had kids. Hung up those spurs like 10 years ago. I'll go out and buy my kids a wii and some games or whatever, maybe even sit down and play a few rounds with them, but...meh. To me, games are starting to get too complicated and lifelike. Getting to the point where I spend so much time and energy trying to learn some system, master all these challenges and straining my brain to problem solve...I'm just like dude..I do this same shit in real life, only I get paid to do it. So...I'm looking at games these days and it's like I'm paying someone out there so I can work. And I'm just like ..er..wait a minute.. not only have games turned into being just like work, but now I'm paying you instead of you paying me? You know, if anything, I'd say phpfreaks is my "game". Rules to follow. Get more superpowers the higher level you get. Increase your level by doing things like answering questions, building things, figuring out systems, etc.. Come here when I'm bored or when I get off work and want to relieve stress, and midget pr0n just isn't cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My computer isn't exactly new, so unless your computer is older, you'll be able to run it. 10 FPS doesn't sound very good :-\ I don't mind cranking down the settings in a game to make it playable. To me, the story is the primary thing, looks are secondary. If a game has a good story I can live with it being a little ugly. To me, games are starting to get too complicated and lifelike.

You mutilate limbs on aliens to kill them on a space ship for a living (picture)? That's pretty badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well you know, someone has to do it. Not really your standard 9-5 job, but..meh. Get to travel to new places. Meet new people..er..things..whatever. Almost hooked up with this chick in the alpha quadrant, until I found out her race's mating ritual involved her eating me. Kinda on the fence about being the lab rat for new super soldier serums they keep coming up with though. I mean sometimes it's like "free drugs, woot!" But then other times it's like gd UGH wtf did they do to me this rash is killing me and having a 3rd arm is NOT as cool as I thought it would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It probably depends on where that 3rd arm sprouts. I mean, if it came out of your ass crack...well, you'd have one funky armpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've (mostly) gotten a lot better about that, though. Just go to your profile, click on your view posts link. Start on the last page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-H Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 CV, when you get angry and want to punch/beat up/etc. someone, what do you do? I personally, normally turn off the console and decide that the game is cheating me in some kind of conspiracy theory. Games are crappy these days, can't beat the old stuff like C&C Gold and Final Fantasy VII... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
