That's all you need!

Ruler said: So where are your option to choose a different graphicscard and cpu other than Nvidia and intel if you really want to max out a game? where is the option to buy a drm free physical game for almost every relevant game? Where is the option to use a different platform than steam if many games arent avaible in other places? |
AMD would be the obvious answer to your first question (yes, you can max out games on AMD hardware), but both Intel and Nvidia release a range of CPUs/GPUs even at the high end.
Alternatives to Steam? I guess GOG, Green Man Gaming, Gamersgate, Amazon and Origin would be some obvious ones.
Those limitations don't exist if you actually know a bit about PC gaming.

1. My GPU is AMD (r9 280x.) :P But if I wanted to max things out I could always crossfire. Where can you buy an Nvida GPU for your PS4? That sounds awesome!
2. Never heard of cracks?
3. Where is the option to use a different platform than PSN. XBL?
The fact that I can do schoolwork and whatnot all on PC is enough said.

I don't like PC gaming because it's not convenient and their ar risks of games not working. I also don't want to pay $2000+ for a gaming laptop.
Simplicity is why console gaming is my only platform, after abandoning PC gaming several years ago. Scientific computing? Lol.

Do you need a definition? I do this daily as part of research project in my field (physics) and some computational physics courses. Hoping to go to graduate school in computational astrophysics.

Also lol @ $2k laptop - dont buy alienware, buy an actual good branded laptop like Asus. |
HP makes some pretty nice laptops.
I helped my sister pick out one with a quad core i7-4790k with 16 GB ram and some decent Nvidia Geforce graphics. It was for the price of 1000, which(honestly) feels like a huge steal.
A crappy 1.8 GHz macbook can probably be 1,200+ XD

Including my old GPU that had to be replaced and my 3 new monitors I'd say about 4k Euros. Probably gonna build a completely new one next year if Pascal surprises me. Except for my new GPU my PC is more than 3 years old. Then again, just recently I bought a 4k Euro TV just for my consoles, so that evens things out. |
I can see why you were offended with that other thread using the word ultimate.
You are the ultimate!
