PC Rig Comparison Thread

I'd like to add that making a pissing contest thread was not my intention at all. I just find it interesting how different some setups are and how people have such different priorities (compare my 120hz screen to garat(?)s 30'' screen).

I figured. That's why I participated. I feel no need to justify things to strangers on the internet. Having fun comparing and contrasting setups though? That's my speed. It's a good thread, and well timed, since I did my case/mobo/cpu upgrade right before PAX, so it was still fresh in my head.

I just liked that for once I can post in a thread like this without just a picture of a laptop

What's the character on the right from?

True, but if I go big I want the extra pixels too, gotta look gooood
Some people say 1080P does not look good on anything above 24", especially when sitting relatively close, and I guess I would sit at a similar distance from the screen as you do (based on that picture). Ah well, I don't think I can go wrong with either 27" or 30", either will be quite the visual experience I am sure.

They're both concept art for recent Alt Avatars for Heroes of Newerth, a game lotsa people hate either on principle or due to the community (which is justified, but I still persevere)

Mind giving me a name to look up or just uploading the wallpaper? It looks neat.

UHD, u better have a like 8 gs on ur card. unless u wanna play games on low. Maybe ur talking about 2560x1600.. still it snowballs pretty fast

Bamf!

The cat is not part of the furniture

thanks

Plus I always find old rigs to be the most fun, because it becomes a challenge to squeeze every ounce of productivity out of it, despite its age. I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop from 2002 that I still use every day. It was once a gaming laptop, it was used for school and work, it was dropped and cracked and dented, and yet I still have 12 years and running. That is value!
(Linux helps, of course.)

YET.
I really need to go back to The Netherlands again sometime soon. I'll hit you up if I do.

Cats never become part of the furniture. Their humans do, however.

You haven't seen the cats -I- know

Little late to this party.

Wow.

2560x1440 for 27" and 2560x1600 for 30" I would say. 4k needs way too much graphics power which costs a lot and the screen itself would also just be too expensive. As you say, even the 1440p and 1600p resolutions need a lot of grunt. I'll probably get a 27" to cut down on costs.

I also personally won't bother with 4K until they actually get HDMI 2.0 and the next display port spec figured out. It's pointless. I don't want a huge resolution monitor that maxes out at 30/60hz refresh. That's stupid. For TV, fine, but for a computer? That kind of refresh looks horrible.

personally i would never pay 100 000 money for a damn screen. It`s just a screen. it` s 100 years old if u guys know what sayin rather pay 3000 money for something new and much cooler but still kinda the same thing. VR. working/playing in vr! MAN that`s soo cool. designeing levels and playing in VR! jesus.

Play nice guys. I don't like deleting posts.
