and the ability to mod the crap out of games.

Oh yeah, except publishers/developers are reluctant to give out mod tools to the new crop of games :rolleyes:

PC superior..... rofl

Sorry but if you are trying to tell me that that rig nets you comparable performance to a 360 then you are full of **** because even my relatively ancient 9800GTX blows my Xbox away.

Step your trolling up son.

I never knew you could game at that res

You can in fact without even realising it.

Try playing the Wii

What the heck is wrong with you?

hideki · 26 Oct 2011 at 05:02

Trolling aside I really would play at higher than console resolution to see the visual benefit of PC gaming.

Haha cant believe this thread. Why not play some good looking games if graphics is what you want. Any of the stalker series with the full complete mod will look stunning, there's Company of heroes if your into RTS games which looks amazing considering its age. Also battlefield 3 looks pretty good, especially compared to the consoles. Also forgot to mention GTA 4 with the enb mod. Here's someone else's pics I took from another thread.

Todays consoles just cant compete with this.

wow that looks great,is that gt4?

As he says in the quote 'GTA 4 with the enb mod'.

Agreed! I was dubious when I got my Hazro, but an IPS monitor with a huge Res makes a massive difference.

I`m not sure why everyone is getting on there high horse though, some games are better suited to consoles where others are much better on PC. Take a look at MMO`s and Simulations they would not run on consoles and the lack of input options makes the experience limited.

Go try DCS A-10 with a Good HOTAS and TrackIr, Its an experience no console could replicate.

I have spent a lot of money on my PC rig, what with my Simulator fetish but I would never try and justify it and still use my xbox when i just want to "chill"

After you upgrade to full hd, sell that silly 360 get 3d vision and laugh your ass off at the consoles.

Dellboy · 26 Oct 2011 at 11:24

Surely he'll need more than a 560ti for 3d?

Beg steal or borrow and sell the 560ti too and get a 580.

As long as you don't hook up a Wii console to it

Why the hell did you spend £1,000 on a PC to play at 1366x768?! Of course resolution makes a difference.

Exactly.

My 3 year old craptop has that resolution and everything looks terrible.

I have a laptop that runs at that res and on the rare occasiona I use it to play games it looks "ok."

Not that I'd have a PC stuck at that res however...

Even at 1336x768 the 360 graphics look nothing like a PC's, fact. The 360 doesn't even render games at 1336x768 anyway. It's also a poor cross section of games.

True, it outputs 1280x720.
