Forums - PC - Got an old gaming PC thats 4-5 years old? can it still match up to the Nextgen consoles? show your pics! :-D

Eh his machine IS leagues better than PS3, but definitely not PS4. It's not really far behind PS4 though. But the real question is which res and FPS are you playing at?

The OP pics look a bit better than they did on PS3 (minus the anti-aliasing), but as far as the PS4 goes, I feel that I've seen better:

Now i know you must have an agenda here if you think them pics you posted look "Alot better" then the ones i posted?? and im pretty sure that if TR:DE released on PC it would be much better optimized then the original was too just like metro plus last light redux play a lot better on my pc then the originals did.

Come on now CGI i expected better from you...

Except they do.  If there is ever a time litterally everyone but you seems crazy...New Flash: You are the crazy one.

This thread is for people that still has (Even ones with newer systems now) their old gaming PC's (Or even pics from them). Now i dont mean too old but say 4-5 years old. We have the nextgen PC gaming pics thread and the Nextgen Console pics thread well this thread is to show how even people with old gaming PC's can still hold their own!.

Have at it fellas show your ancient machines with pride!!.

This machine is about 4 years old now and costed me €350-400 atm for the upgrade kit (Included CPU,GPU,Ram and motherboard+case) so i didnt need much from my old PC to finish it. This PC can still stand up to my PS4 in multiplat games not bad for a 4 year old system , but id imagine the PS4 will outpace it in another year or 2 .

I hope you realize your computer isn't 4 years old. The GPU is just now approaching 4 years from its release date, and Sandy Bridge is just over 3.5 years old. That being the case, I'm assuming you bought the upgrade kit relatively early in the life of the GPU/CPU, and have a hell of a time believing you got it for a price as ridiculously low as 350-400 Euros (considering parts really don't get super cheap early in their life). After all, the 2500K was a $216 CPU, and the 6870 was a $239 GPU (Meaning that alone should make up 300 or more euros when combined. I have the darndest time believing 8GB ram, a mobo compatible with 2500K processor, a 3TB hard drive, and a case could be included (even though it is a kit) for 50-100 euros.

I'd be more inclined to believe it cost you 450 at a bare minimum, or you got the kit much later than January 2011.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

My 2 year old build (i5 3570K, Radeon 7970) looks like it will give me another 3, maybe 4 years of above-console performance. After that, I'll probably be due for an upgrade.

It's all over the place. Games like L4D2, Diablo III and Skyrim run fine on fairly good settings, while games like Metro and Payday 2 have horrible framerates on super low. Got it a bit over 2 years ago.

I think you're confusing him with yourself. Those pictures do look better compared to the mostly closer to PS3 graphics than PS4 pictures you posted. The only multiplat game that's on PS4 that you even posted is Tomb Raider so of course he is going to compare it and it is much better. Stop with the agenda to try and make your PC something it isn't. You are clearly trying to downplay next gen consoles with your posts.

Thats cause that GPU is an entry level GPU! I am guessing ur on a laptop but yea, you wont be getting zomg games with that gpu loll. An i7 isn't good for gaming. All it does is that it makes sure that the cpu isn't a bottleneck but the GPU is generally the main component that games use so if you have a weak GPU... I don't care even if your CPU is the i7 5960X, you wont be playing games with zomg graphics

Thats where your wrong, so far my PC can play any multiplat just as good as my PS4 with bad console ports being the exception (DR3 and Watch Dogs but mods helped make watch dogs look and run even better then the PS4 version on my PC so..).

Sorry if I don't believe you but coming from the specs of your 4 year old PC, It's just not happening. 

You dont have to believe me but the pics i posted show otherwise as i cant think of anything on the Ps4 that runs better or looks better then on my PC atm.

Saying that my CPU could be helping a lot.

You serious? Most of what you posted isn't even close to as good as on PS4 even though they are close up to the characters faces during talks from the characters. If you wanna do that Beyond 2 Souls looks better than anything you posted when you zoom in to the faces. The only impressive one is some of the Skyrim pics because they are in small enclosed areas and I'm pretty sure I've seen 1 of those exact pics posted somewhere else. From those multiplats that are currently on PS4 which is Tomb Raider and soon to be Sleeping Dogs you can cleary see Tomb  raider destroys the 1 crappy pic you posted. Your 4 year old PC does not run multiplats as well as a PS4, that's a fact. 

Good then you can post the pics of the multiplat PS4 games that look so much better? does it hurt you in some way that a 4 year old PC can keep up with the PS4 so far?, like i said i know the PS4 is more powerful and it would want to be after launching 4 years later.. But so far nothing on my PS4 has made me say "Wow" that looks sooo much better then my PC multiplats, and if you think such games excist please post them (And i dont mean exclusive games as the really is noting to judge them against)

Anyway maybe in a year or 2 from now the will be multi plats that play much better on the PS4 then on my old PC but for now the is nothing. and in another year or 2 all id have to do is spend like 200-250 and once again thats my old PC destorying the PS4 when it comes to graphics..


LOL the fact that you had to make a new thread is pathetic.  You aren't fooling anyone but yourself!

 

NOTE TO EVERYONE ELSE:  He just came from a thread where I told him he is silly for thinking his old 6870 can stand toe-to-toe with a PS4.

Im silly for making a new thread to save the other one from being Ran off topic more so then it already was??.

BTW the is "NO" need for the "NAME" calling how exactly am i pathetic?? you dont know me just to let you know ive reported you.

And if i remember right i never said "Stand toe to toe" (Shows how much you love your PS4 ) with the PS4 i said "Can still run multiplat games looking just as good as it" but i also said i know the PS4 is more powerful and like i said it would want to be after launching 4 years after i build my PC but atm the is no multiplat on it that i cant run on my PC looking just as good and i stand by that fact..


Name calling?  I said an action you made is pathetic.  It is up to you to draw any further conclusions.  Also calling your opinion a fact just perfectly illustrates how much you are ignoring all of the counter-arguments made to you.



Why PCs need to be compared with consoles? I dont get it. PCs are always superior. And at the end of the day it doesnt matter. Because it still cant run bloodborne.

No one is really doubting that a PC of the spec you suggested could get pictures of those games working... but that would be about it, unplayable juddering pictures unless you sacrifice some of the effects or resolution you'd find on the X1/Ps4 versions of the games.

Clearly the only people who are doubting it are PS4 fans with an alter agenda...


Yes!  You figured it out!  We are all Sony sleeper cells who have conviened to stop your message of truth!  

 

It couldn't possibly be that we objectively think you are wrong, could it?
