AMD 4 Life! When you say you're gonna build your next PC, you're already planning one after the one you just ordered parts to (R7 250)? What games do you play at the moment? |
Well, on the portable I'm lost in Planescape:Torment, doing every sidequest in Sigil before advancing inthe main quest.
On the desktop I was lost in Morrowind sidequests, then, when I did my last upgrade I had to abandon Win 2000, due to lack of drivers, but with XP some DRM/copy protection, probably of Thief 3, managed to do far worse damages than under Win 2000, particularly to CD/DVD drivers (so that darn protection damaging the drivers couldn't see the DVD anymore and prevented me from playing), so after a while, playing Grand Prix Legends, but it was less stable too than on Win 2000, I finally switched to Win 7, but this time, to avoid problems, I'll finish Thief 3 using a DRM-free GOG version. For GPL I'll have to use a GPU-affinity tool, as it's so old that it doesn't cope well even with my modest dual-core.
With the new GPU I'll be able to play The Witcher 2, of which even the minimum specs exceeded my on board HD3300, but I'll play Gothic 2 and 3 first, then The Witcher 1, I don't want to feel like going back if I play The Witcher 1 and 2 first. In my backlog I got other games too, I got Mount&Blade, for example, that is tempting me, Mass Effect 1 and then a bunch of isometric RPGs, like Drakensang 1, 2 and expansion, Sacred 1 and 2 and Torchlight. Then I have a King Arthur collection that I don't even remember when I bought it, it had to be some special offer. I have some other racers too, like GTR and GT Legends, and rFactor 2 is in my wishlist.
But the problem is that I have no time! And when I'll finally graduate and have more time my gf wants to marry me or at least make children with me! If she won't get fed up of waiting and leave me before, that is. OMG, when I'll stop wasting time taking too long to do what I have to do, I'll end up having even less time, what kind of sick, f***ed-up universe do we live in?
About my next PC, I still haven't decided anything in detail, except that I'll wait for low power consumption CPUs or APUs to offer a significant performance boost compared to my current PC. My new GPU will allow me to wait longer before my next major upgrade, as in my backlog The Witcher 2 is currently the most power-hungry game, this is good, because by then probably there will already be DDR4, and maybe even chipsets and mobos able to use GDDR5 also as main RAM like PS4 already does.
