This blog will be a site to log all the gaming and testing I do and show what needs to be changed in many games. Plus I will put whatever chapters I write for my book in here!

Since the alpha is only a little ways out, I was wondering what everyone was planning on playing it (or the beta, or the final version ) on?

 

My specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Intel Core i5-3470 @ 3.2GHz

8 GB Kingston 1600MHz RAM

ASUS P8Z77-V LX

ASUS Geforce GTX 670 4GB OC +20MHz (1000MHz)

Raidmax 750W 80 PLUS GOLD

CoolerMaster Storm Scout 2 Case

128 GB Samsung 840 Pro (OS)

1TB Western Digital HDD (DATA)

I sent a message to Kryo about the RAM. And I'll look for a computer with a about a 3GHz processor. I don't know anything about graphics cards or what to expect. If there isn't any set requirements for this yet it would still be nice to have a suggestion to what to, or not to have.

I am not very familiar with laptop integrated graphics as I only use home built desktops. Google is your friend DARCA, look for recent gaming laptops and how they are made.

This being said, if cost alone is a factor and your are smart about your purchases and willing to buy second hand, Desktop is more cost effective than laptop.

Win7

AMD A4-3300 APU 1.9 (2.4)

4gig RAM

It's run games perfectly fine where their minimal recommendations are much higher.

Toshiba Qosmio x70-a (notebook)

Intel Core i7 4700MQ

16GB RAM

240GB Corsair GT SSD

1TB regular HD

3GB NVidia GTX 770M

I used to build my own custom desktop gaming rigs but this notebook has been so useful (work & play) and has blown me away with just how well it eats up even the latest/greatest AAA shooters that the last gaming-desktop I custom built has just recently left my home.  Plus with a notebook I don't need to be tied to a specific area of the home and if I tire of the 17" screen I can always connect it to a TV.

Try and get an NVIDIA card in the "GTX 700" line. The 760, 770, 780 and the Titan are all great choices, with the earlier two being pretty affordable for their cost. Alternatively, if price REALLY isn't an issue, you can wait a bit for the "GTX 800" line of cards or buy a Titan Black. These cards should be able to handle most, if not all, games at their maximum settings without breaking the 50% usage mark. ASUS is a good vendor to buy these from, as their sub-variants are usually somewhat superior and more reliable in my experience.

I also recommend getting 16 GB of RAM, because it's pretty cheap and it will help you with larger games that eat up memory, though 8 GB is all you really need.

Remember to get a good CPU, preferably one which can overclock to over 4 GHz. If you go with Intel (You should) avoid the i7 and i3 line of chips, as they are not optimized to use for gaming (Most games can't use the 8 cores of the i7, and the i3 models are not strong enough for modern games.) Get an i5 CPU with 4 cores and overclockability, as it will provide you the best tradeoff between expense, power, lifespan and utility. The card I use is an i5-4670k, which can demolish pretty much everything without breaking a sweat at a cost of 240$.

There's much more to cover, but that's vital stuff.

I don't think he needs all that stuff. And you seem to have missed the part where he says he plans to get a laptop.

Target sucks. 6GB of RAM for the top laptop in stock with a 1.5GHz processor.

Are you sure you're not looking at 'used' items? Not to just be crude, but 1.5 GHz really sucks the balls.

on Mar 18, 2014

This is target, the national corporation. They don't sell used items. There was one with 1.9ghz but it was 4GB of ram along with other subpar features for 350$. I know WalMart has better, I've seen the stock online.

the target is new and a friend of mine has a part time job there who is good with tech, and he said 8gb is uncommon for the casual users like me. (but I still want it )

Windows Vista Premium

Intel CoreDuo 3.16GHz (1333Mhz FSB)

8 GB DDR2 Ram

EVGA 780i Motherboard

EVGA Geforce GTX 470

Antec 850W Power Supply

Cosmos Sound Dampened Cooler Master Case

300 GB Velociraptor SCSI Harddrive

DVD reader/CD Writer that I haven't looked at since 2008/2009 lol.

24" Samsung monitor running 1920x1200 res 60hz refresh and 4 or 5 ms white to black to white or whatever it is lol.

 

Seems to be running everything on max or near max graphics so far... Waiting to see how harsh this game is when the final product is released lol. Hoping to build a new gaming rig (possibly from scratch) in November 2014 or summer of 2015. And I'm sorry if Vista causes problems for anyone else, but believe it or not... in 5 years I have had no issues with it ever... But when I built this computer Vista had just released service pack 1 and all of my components were brand new at the time so they were all Vista certified.

 

Man some of you guys have friggin awesome machines!
