VIPER51 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Does the computer you use make that much difference in quality of play? Trying to set up a decent gaming set up. Any suggestions? All welcome. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2017 Are you talking about PC gaming? If so definitely, you'll want a PC that I would say can play games with at least 60fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sncjez Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I recently upgraded my pc with intel i7 6700 at 4.00ghz and a gtx 1060gb for around 500 quid already had a pc to chuck in those parts getting around 150 to 170 fps on quake champions with low settings other games can be better although quake is still in beta phase. Well worth going the extra mile to get 120 fps if you monitor is 120-144hz otherwise like Fraser said 60fps is fine but if you have some money to burn head for the 120hz plus range gtx 1080+ cards should be good for ultra high settings at above 120 hz.

Zepsblackdog Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Does the computer you use make that much difference in quality of play? Trying to set up a decent gaming set up. Any suggestions? All welcome. Thanks It's an almost unfair advantage to have top quality high frame yielding PC components. In online gaming (Not talking about net throughput) it's all about the fastest FRAME rendering. There are 2 ways you can get there... The first is to turn down EVERYTHING. Make the game look like total shit. This will look like you're playing in vomit, but your frames will be super fast and responsive. WHEN i say everything, I mean everything to include RESOLUTION. When I was playing competitive FEAR in ladder 1v1s. w'd ALL PLAY AT 640X480 RES, everything on low. If I even tried to play at 1920x1080, i'd be dead before I could snap to target. It makes THAT much of a difference. The second way is to have a monster system. This allows a DECENT chance of you winning gunfights, even with settings that look great. The downfall is frame rendering. Once again, you'll probably lose to the guy that RENDERS his frames faster. The SECRET of all this is to have a solid ISP with no packet loss, a quality router (R1) and being set up properly in terms of ONLINE FPS games. Keep in mind, that FPS router setup should differ than your "surfing" profile. With your R1 you can set different profiles to maximize each particular task you are doing. I have learned over the years to take online gaming with a grain of salt. There are so many variables in packet exchange that your experience can differ greatly from day to day. Build your system with the best you can afford to, and enjoy the immersion! i7 4790K at 4.6, Crucial BallistiX tracers underclocked for low latency, ASUS STRIX 980TI, Soundblaster Z audio, Sabertooth Z97 Mark1.

GMDA Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have recently built an i7 system and before it I had an i3 3rd gen I can feel the big difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepsblackdog Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 i7 processors, especially the unlocked... are the nutz in gaming. Huge L3 cache overclocking abilities, and current instruction makes them the best choice. They are expensive, but for serious gaming, they're the only way to go. AMD has some decent CPUs as well, they're getting more and more competitive. I certainly hope they start competing with Intel's i7 series.. that makes for competition, which equates to better pricing for all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMDA Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yes, ryzen are new. Intel is still more preferred for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepsblackdog Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The last AMD cpu I had was the 2500+ That was YEARS ago. Since then I've used all i7s exclusively. No need to change, gaming is bliss with a devil's canyon @ 4.6Gs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to change, gaming is bliss with a devil's canyon @ 4.6Gs.. That is true. I was sort of regretting that why I chose i7 over the choice of going to Ryzen. But then I installed a few games and did some rendering on 3d Max and my regret went right outta the window. The experience I am getting is truly mesmerizing. I just want to upgrade my gpu. I am using Gigabyte Radeon Rx 480 8Gb. I really wish to move to Titan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepsblackdog Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 That RX480 is a good card! I haven't used an AMD card (ATI) in years. I try to upgrade graphics every two years. I'm on the STRIX 980TI now, and will skip 1080. 1180TI is in the future.. Do you have a good monitor? Playing in 2K (1440P) is really nice with Gsync. You'd be able to use Freesync, as an AMD customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an interior designer so he took mine for rendering purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMDA Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I have not experienced it on my 4k monitor up till now. I really wish to test it on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMDA Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 And, in case he wants to keep it and pay me back the amount, should I go for Asus again? or anyother brand that you'd like to mention and is actually best at 4k display than Asus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepsblackdog Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 4K looks great, YES. HOWEVER, the new 4K 144hz monitors are NOT out yet. I would NOT go 4K simply because they cannot refresh as fast as 2K monitors right now. There's no way I'd pay for a monitor that does 60hz. That's outdated and looks like hell in twitch shooters. Mine is the Predator 2K 1440P 144/165 27" IPS panel. Looks amazing, and refreshes at 165 max. 4ms response, IPS colors are quite impressive. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824106004 I owned ASUS monitors too, they are also a good choice. IPS vs. TN...besides size and refresh rate, THAT is the BIG decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Stevens Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It depends which game you want to reply. Different games require different specification. I agree with your friend but if your PC configuration its high and good then you can play any games on your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
