We have every console, we need a thread about the best way to play games, da pee cee.
Use this thread to discuss the best (and maybe worst) games for da pee cee. Ask of your computer can run Crysis! Ask if your computer can run Half Life 2! Ask if your computer can run GTA4! Discuss gaming builds, find out what GPU to buy, find out if your new processor sucks, get told that you can't stick a Core 2 Duo in an AM2+ board! Find out what we think of the latest and greatest games for da pee cee! |

well...i need your help. I cant figure out how to get wide screen settings in the game.
Like my last monitor was 1027x756 and now mines 1680x1050 and for some reason sims 2 has no wide screen settings...or at least i cant find it. so i was wondering if you knew how i can get the settings or just anyway to help me out. |

It's an issue with nVidia cards.
Look for the Graphics Rules.sgr file in C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/The Sims 2/Seasons/TSData/Res/Config/Graphics Rules.sgr Open "Graphics Rules.sgr" in notepad. Look for "option ScreenModeResolution" and you will see settings for Low, Medium, and High. Set all the resolution settings to 1680 x 1050 |

Seasons before tsdata
Copy paste file:///C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/The Sims 2/Seasons/TSData/Res/Config/ into your browser If you get an error, then something is missing, or I typed the path wrong. |

Joseph, the answer would be Half Life 2, because of the extreme amount of customization allowed on the source engine. Games like Zombie Panic: Source, Garry's Mod, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Insurgency, Counter Strike: Source, etc. would have never been created if there was no Half Life 2.
CODE option ScreenModeResolution setting $Low uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 setting $MediumButDefaultLow uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 setting $Medium uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 setting $High uintProp maxResWidth 1680 uintProp maxResHeight 1050 uintProp defaultResWidth 1680 uintProp defaultResHeight 1050 This should work. |

I would only need more RAM if I had Vista. Vista really doesn't bog down the processor or video card to much. Anyway, what really defines a computer as a gaming rig anyway? According to ATI I have a gaming card: QUOTE Enthusiast
According to Corsair I have a gaming power supply: QUOTE The Corsair HX620W/HX520W power supply is versatile and robust. Utilizing superior triple +12V power rails and a whisper quiet double ball-bearing 120mm fan, the HX620W/HX520W is ready for today’s most power hungry components. I have a fast HDD, I have a fast CPU, and I have enough RAM. I can play crisis on high without a blip. I have a gaming rig. It's just not overkill. A.k.a. I didn't waste my money. |

CPU is moderately fast. My old Acer laptop had one of those, and couldn't run shit. Although I'm sure integrated graphics was the major hindrance there.

My god, looking at the specs of your machines just makes me think, "What's the point". Next year I'll be able to buy a card as powerful than the 295 for 1/4th the price. Why spend so much money on a computer. There isn't a single game on the market that requires those kind of specifications... meh, whatever floats your boat.

I'm pretty sick of working on 10 year old computers and trying to make them fast/usable. But I'm not gonna waste my money, cause I'm a jew. Hopefully after christmas I'll have enough money to build something cheap, 2.8ghz dual core, 2/4gb ddr 800 ram, a compatible mobo and I have no clue about anything when it comes to video cards. I'll just do some research. Figured that should be able to play crysis. I have a case, optical drive, hard drive, mouse, keyboard, right now, but they are all reallly sucky, but it can work for a little while.
Who am I kidding, I'm a jew, I hate spending money. I had 2k in the bank till I blew a bunch on this mac, which I am still having buyers remorse over. |

Also, I'm almost willing to bet that it's a Radeon 9200. It's alright for most things, but pretty shit these days. |

9550 is a good bit better, but still not that great.
Also for f*ck's sake install your drivers |

When you update drivers, does it commit it to the hardware, or will I have to do it again, if I reformat or something? I'm sure I already know the answer but I just figured I'd ask. Last time I tried installing the drivers, I failed. |

No it's handled by the kernel. which links directly with the hardware.
