This nikka really in the pc thread trolling

I get well over 100 fps on BL2 at 1080p most of the time on my Win7 rig and never drop below 60 fps, even with all of the outlandish effects.

Is nothing sacred?
I wasn't talking about a "gimped" port. I'm talking about Crysis 1 vs Crysis 2. the version of Crysis 1 that's on the ps360 was made with the Crysis 2 engine (CryEngine 3). there's nothing "lazy" about porting the whole game to a new engine. but along with that is the fact they went through all that trouble because the original Crysis, as it was released on PC (using CryEngine 2), would have been impossible for consoles to handle. it's pretty well known that a lot of PC's at the time couldn't 'handle' the game ("but can it run Crysis"yeah, you said something about a "gimped" port. Sounds like something a sony Stan would say
). CryEngine 3 and Crysis 2 were designed with 'last gen' consoles in mindleave all that "Sony stan" and "PC Stans" shyt out this thread

That's one of the reasons why I don't mind dealing with Origin. You can "return" your purchases.
Is there a way to constantly monitor CPU usage in win 8.1 (kinda like you could do with that widget in Win 7)?
I'm getting random slowdown on this site for some reason and sometimes youtube video's stutter. I wonder if it is CPU related. It could just be nothing, but I'm curious
Edit: My youtube stuttering went away for whatever reason. Must have just been random. I still wanna check CPU usage at all times though

I'm gonna make a concerted effort to not respond to him anymore. We can't have the PC thread ruined with this nonsense. This thread is sacred.
you can use the Resource Monitor
It's weird how NOW Steam's big picture mode wants to work again even after multiple updates. For about a month or so I was experiencing a weird issue where I couldn't navigate my games list when I selected "view games list" in BPM.
It's almost much smoother.. I don't remember it being as fluid pulling up the home menu.
Moving the cursor only managed to change the letter on screen to b or C but that was as far as I could go. It works now.

Nobody is debating it's a demanding game.
So system requirements are made up for no reason then huh?
yeah, you said something about a "gimped" port. Sounds like something a sony Stan would say
An XB360 game with noticeably inferior graphics AND performance AND resolution is somehow not the gimped port.
The backpedal.
The first thing I said was this
"Due to diminishing returns it takes a hell of a lot of power just for marginal gains. You PC dudes thought y'all would squeak by this gen with that old ass hardware"
Except the example used here was the poster's rig that's beyond overkill for the game - which doesn't include ye olde hardware like you're imagining.
That's been my argument the entire time. Y'all took it to all these other places cause you know PC master race and stuff.
Like you weren't in here trying to say console versions are better than PC. Nobody equated the sloppy coding with the high requirements. That is your imaginary connection. The shytty performance on well equipped hardware is attributed to the coding by the devs.
"oh but rice n beans, you don't have the source code, who told you how the game is supposed to run???"
They publish system requirements for a fukking reason. Minimum and recommended. That's the DEVELOPERS telling you what hardware is needed to run the game optimally.
I don't know who you're pointing this comment at, but there's been one setup used as an example here and the poster doesn't need to upgrade.
Wasn't the only factor, but I thought it would be sufficient for some time to come since PC Stans told me the "next gen" consoles were weak sauce and my 660 would shyt all over them for some time to come
Take vRAM as the sole deciding factor brehs.
You REALLY don't know shyt.
Yeah 7 is just rockin. Windows 8 is super butt. I'll figure it out sooner or later...
My 3GB GTX 660 with my AMD Phenom X4 @ 4.0GHZ is faster than your 2GB GTX680 with your I5-3770K @ 3.5GHZNobody is debating it's a demanding game.

Man I wish things were as simple as simply comparing clock speed numbers.
