Your PC spec?

eyerer

I just realised that it was always gaming that had me pining for a new system
now that i couldn't be bothered with PC gaming, i remain robust in the opinion that my relatively new system is still sweet (despite reading a thread where the recommended spec for a game blatently outclassed mine)


I have an athlon 64 bit 3400+, ~800mb ram and onboard ati graphics, which tbh suck......worse than my old system for pro evo
if i was bothered enough to waste money on a gfx card, i would consider this decent

so what do you use to play games?

stakey

AMD Athlon 64 3700
1 GB Ram (another two on it's way. he he)
7800 GT 256 MB

it's all good

Willymuncher

Athlon XP2600
1gb pc3200 ram
XFX 6800GS 256

Hoping to push that up to a Athlon 64 3500 soon, but as it is, it does me for most games.

magick

Classic Barton amd 3000

with a gig o ram

9800 pro

and it runs battlefield 2 and my porn fine, and thats all i care about.


though next upgrade im looking at one of those shiny amd 4000 ohhhh lovely and spicy

tman

Athlon XP3200+ (2500+ running as a 3200+... easiest overclock ever!)
gig of [value] pc3200 ram
6600gt
soundblaster audigy plus a pair of sennheiser hd25s/my trusty old stereo
250gb Seagate + 160gb WD ata hard drives

it's well out of date by this stage, but still manages to run anything i throw at it:)

P4 3.4
1gb pc5300 ram
256mb x800xt

steviec

Athlon 64 3500+
1 gig RAM
Radeon 9600XT

It runs everything I try great as long as I go for reasonable settings, the graphics card isn't new but I don't see a reason to upgrade until I can't run something I want to run.

Up until a few months ago I was running the same card in a Athlon XP 2000+ with 512mb RAM and that's handled everything I've tried up to Civ IV pretty well.

For some reason the F.E.A.R. demo ran like muck on it, just couldn't get a satisfactory FPS at all, but HL2, Doom 3 and COD2 run like a dream on medium settings. I will sell this system and buy a much higher spec AMD Athlon 64-based machine later this year.

Eyerer, your problem is your onboard graphics card. It just won't cut it.

My rig:

XFX 6800GT pci-e
audigy 2 zs
Hiper 580w psu
and eh... 4 hard drives. Noisy :eek:

Would like to get a 256 graphics card soon (probably when GTR2 comes out in June) but that aside, she's a beast!
Plays GT Legends online with 23 other punters, 4X anti-aliasing, all in-game graphics set to full and still get 50 fps!

I love my PC I do!

My pc is starting to get on a bit but I played fear at max detail with 1920x1200 resolution and it actually ran pretty well. The FPS weren't exactly amazing but definitely playable.

I will most likely upgrade again at the end of the year.

i know, i wanted to keep my 9800 pro but then i realised this motherboard has pci-x and no agp.
as for buying a graphics card, i went and bought a new gamecube and mario kart for cheaper than a second hand 6600. go figure.

Ah PC gaming... haven't played much in a long time. I don't have a gaming rig as such... don't need much power for the Mac version of Fallout 2! (playing on iBook G4 with 1.2GHz G4 processor, 512MB RAM, 32MB Radeon 9200, 30GB HDD :eek: , running OS X 10.4.4)
Consoles for me, thank you very much!

It's good enough for me, in my opinion spending ridiculous amounts of money on graphics cards and super duper RAM is pointless, just so you can achieve slightly better textures and bump mapping?.. pff
