richard

I recently signed up for gamefly mainly for the unlimited PC play, the problem is apparently gamefly doesn't keep their games up to date. I've tried to download updates for both Assassin's Creed: Directors Cut and F.E.A.R. (which I actually purchased from Direct2Drive but is now owned by Gamefly)
I've tried asking around the Gamefly forums which is basically a ripoff of yahoo answers but no one seems to want to reply to my questions any help at all will be appreciated.

Answer
I was also a D2D customer, and still have missing DLC's from my Bordaerlands game, i suggest you ask the gamefly support.

Can u suggest any brand where I can customize the desktop or any company which can take specifications from me and make customized gaming desktop for me.

Some computer experts say that the graphical quality of video games has reached a plateau?

Q. e.g., look how good the graphics are for a game like Crysis 2. These are rendered on hardware that was nearly outdated in 2005. You could imagine the potential of similar hardware in 2011. Or would it even make a difference?

What will make the next generation of gaming distinctive from the current?

In the past, the answer to this question was easy: GRAPHICS.

Answer
PC graphics can continue to march forward with ever more impressive hardware optimizations, higher resolutions, better physics, etc. However consoles are going to have a much tougher time of it. Sure with this generation we saw the jump to HD, or at least 720p@30fps. However the next batch of consoles should have no problem with 1080p@60fps which is the maximum any HDTV is capable of producing. Even 3D won't be a problem for these consoles - if they decide to support it.

Really the only direction left is better physics, and better textures. However these are going to seem more like minor bumps vs. the huge leaps we've been used to. It might also mean consoles will come out less frequently - no need to upgrade as frequently.

The 360, for instance, will turn 7 later this year and while Microsoft is working on a new console we probably won't see it on shelves until 2013 at the earliest - nearly 9 years after the 360 came out.

How can I completely wipe a computer but still keep the operating system?

best gaming pc laptop 2013 image

Dragon_Ave

I have an old laptop with Windows 7 on it that runs really slow from old junk just building up on it and would like to restore to factory default. I never set a restore point, I don't have an installation disk, but I do know my Windows Activation Key. Is there anything I can do to restore it, without having to have an installation disk?

Answer
Don't think that's possible. You can do a System Restore to restore it to a earlier point. You don't gotta wipe your whole computer, do these:

1) Virus Scan
2) Clear up downloads folder
3) Empty Recycle Bin
4) Clear all Cookies/Cache/History
5) Find some Registry Errors
6) Do a disk cleanup (Windows Key + R, type in "cleanmgr)
7) Download a System Optimizer Ex. Tuneup utilities 2013 (Http://tune-up.com)
8) Download a System Cleanup Tool (Advanced System Care 6.1 PRO or CCleaner)
9) Clean up My Docs
10) Delete junk files
11) Uninstall Junkware (Junk pre-installed on PC)

Although, you can install a Linux Based Operating System (Called Linux Distros)
They have a good file system and they don't get fragmented very much either, they are fast, too. The only drawback is that they don't have a lot of games compatible so it is not for gamers, it is for programmers or basic internet searchers. It is pretty virus free aswell. No more baby-sitting windows for Linux!

What is the best cheap gaming laptop?

Joul

The laptop must be under $750. The processor must be intel core i5 or i7. It must have a minimum 4gb of ram. I dont care what the brand, the weight is or the size is. I just want the laptop can run smoothly on Simcity (2013). Touch screen is optional though.

Answer
Here is three ASUS. depends on how much you want to spend and how high of quality you want to play your games on.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230987

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230416

Buying advice

Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.

Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.

Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.

Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate. My experience with them are limited because the few I worked on made me think they were designed in such a way as it would take a blow torch and a jack hammer just to disassemble them.

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.

Companies like Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided at all cost because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install you can cripple the system.

Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.

Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market.

Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap causing units to fail early leading to repairs that should not have been needed. For that reason I would avoid them.

ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.

What video card should I start my build with?

best gaming pc liquid cooling image

Veritatum1

I'm looking to build a semi-budget ($600 or less) gaming PC in the next six months or so that will play Guns of Icarus online, Sanctum 2, Shogun 2, Medieval 2, M&B Bannerlords, stuff like that.

I have no idea what video card to start with - it has to be air-cooled with fans (not comfortable with liquid cooling), support Dx 10, carry 1 GB VRAM and shader support, and ideally cost $150 or less. The type of chips available and the number of generations on-market now is a little daunting. Any advice?

I'm also planning on building with a Quad 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM and supporting Win 7 64-bit.

Answer
I would go with a amd hd 7770 a good midrange graphic card for gaming , another one is a gtx 650 ti a step up from the gtx 550 ti there are no liqiud cooled graphic cards most of them has fans with cooling pipes installed to keep them cool

How much would a PC as powerful as a PS3 cost?

Seth

Finally got tired of the garbage games coming out on the PS3. I am now looking into replacing it with a gaming PC with equal or greater capabilities. I don't need a supercomputer to play Battlefield 3 on its maximum settings, however I would like to be able to play some of the more up-to-date titles.

If someone could give me links to specific computers that would be affordable and be able to match the PS3. Or link me to specific parts that are equivalent to or greater than the PS3's, I would be most greatful. Thanks.

Answer
If you simply want to replicate the PS3, you might shell about a couple of hundred dollars. Take note that this does not include a monitor, a keyboard, mouse, and an operating system.

However, I strongly advise you in building that gaming system. Such rig wont handle current and future PC games.

A decent gaming PC might cost 400 dollars if you build it (this includes extra peripherals like the Operating System and monitor). If youre buying a pre-built, expect to pay more. Upgrading your current PC's cost depends on how old your system is.

Yes, it would be expensive. The advantages, of course, of getting a gaming PC is it's multi-tasking flexibility.

HOWEVER, if you already have a computer and a gaming console, I recommend you stick with the PS3 for some time if youre not willing to shell that cash.

How much will it cost to build a high-end gaming computer in 2013?

best gaming pc monitor 2013 image

Theo Turne

I'm thinking of building a new gaming PC this year (I built one in 2010 for around £1000 but its getting a bit dated now). I expect to be building around June-July time, and given the current speculation on future releases from Intel/AMD, my specs will be approximately as follows:

i7-4770k
HD 8970 3GB
16GB 1600MHz RAM
Crossfire ready LGA1150 Motherboard
Decent case with 750/850W PSU (for potential Crossfire)
256GB SSD (no HDDs, I hardly use any space, currently running Win 7 with 5 games, using 120GB)
Windows 8 Pro (with Blue upgrade)
Peripherals: 1080p 27" monitor, decent gaming mouse/keyboard/headset (expected to be £300-400 for all peripherals)

What sort of price do you think this would equate to? Note that the launch price of the i7-4770k is expected to be about the same as that of the 3770k, and likewise for the HD 8970. Could I get it for under £2000 (a little over $3000)?

Fell free to make comments on my choices/suggestions (I will consider getting an nVidia GPU but not an AMD CPU). Thanks!
Please note that I live in the UK and therefore prices are around 20% higher than in America.
@Wcdih... I'm not going to get X79 as it won't be any better for gaming than X87. I have a friend with an i5 2500k and a GTX560Ti, another with an i7 3930k and a GTX560Ti and they get Identical fps. Have you got any links to the specs of that i5 you mentioned?

Answer
processor is too much, i5 3570k is all you need.

if you are gettign 16 gigs of ram make sure its 4 x 4 gigs and not 2 x 8 gigs and 8 gig sticks have higher latency timings in general.

rest looks good.

could easily get for £2000

personally i would just upgrade your current one if you spend £1000 on it 3 years ago it must have an i7 or similar and good psu. just get a new graphics card and SSD.

the only thing i would change is the monitor, if you are going over 26" you are far better off swapping to a 2560 x 1600 res monitor, trust me it looks amazing.

my friend has one of these, its amazing:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-dell-u2713hm-led-ips-monitor-dp-hdmi-dvi-vga-2560x1440-10001-350cd-m2-8ms-black-with-4-port-usb-3

okay its probably gonna cost closer to £500 - 525 with all the keyboard mouse etc now but trust me its worth it, if your paying £2000 you may aswell go for the best.

EDIT:

editing due to your post.

you do realise processor has nothing to do with gaming performance. the i7 4770k will perform almost no different than an old phenom 2 965 in gaming if paired with identical graphics cards.

aslong a as a processor can run a game having a better one will make, at most, 2 - 3 FPS difference.

your friends get the same performance because they have the same graphics card, if the one with a i5 2500k got a 660ti he would have far better gaming performance than the one with the i7.

anandtech.com seems to be down at the moment but if you look at the benches between CPUs and scroll down to the bottom and look at gaming performance you will see minute changes between the 3570k and the 3770k processors but , in comparison, huge changes between the nvidia 660 and the nvidia 680.

How do you think about my New Rig ? Need upgrade for casing, speaker and monitor ?

Matthew

I just bought a new PC and here is the spec:

Processor : Core i7 3770 3.4GHz
HSF : DeepCool GammaXX S40
Motherboard : MSI H77MA-G43
Memory : Dual Channel Visipro 2 x 4 GB PC3-12800 CL11-11-11-29

Harddisk : Seagate 2TB SATA III 7200rpm
VGA Card : HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ X 2GB GDDR5 256 Bit
PSU : Cooler Master GX EU 550W Bronze 80+
Casing : Simbadda Sim-Q

Headphone : Somic CD-2688MV
Keyboard : Logitech Standard PS/2
Mouse : Gaming Mouse A4Tech XL-747H Blue Spider

OS : Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit (AHCI SATA)

How do you think about my new rig ?
Is it OK ?? Will it future proofs ? If then, how long ?

I have run it for two months since April 2013.

So far, there are some problems :
1. When booting, it takes a long time about 3-5 minutes, and on the right corner of the screen, it shows B4 code so long, then A2. What do these codes mean ?

2. If I wanna change my speaker to 5.1 channel, can you give some suggestions ?
And 5.1 or 7.1 is better ? What is the difference ? My budget is US$100.

3. My casing is so small, I want to change. Which one is better ?
I want a big 20 cm fan on top and front. Then, side fan for cooling VGA Card.
My budget is around US$50-100.

4. For 3D Monitor, can you give me some recommended types and brands ?
IPS, LED, or LCD and what size ?
(maybe 18.5" if there is a 3D monitor with that size, coz' too large, i don't like)
I want to use the monitor to watch 3D movies and games maybe.
I have tried Red Cyan glasses on current monitor, and it so annoying, the color is so dark (i mean all seems so dark, bad quality).
For Monitor, my budget is US$100-200.


I really really need your suggestions.
Hope for your opinions soon.

chitti a

guys iam planing to buy a computer for 30000.means everything . so like iam like interested in spending 25k only for the cpu .can you please give a quatation importently mention about the graphic card and processor (ideally core 2 quad), keepin future in mind . also what do you think is a good 19" lcd monitor

Answer
you wouldn't need to spend that much buddy. Take a look here:

http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Crysis_Warhead_--_Rs_30000_Official_PC/551-93062-585.html

A new pc coming out that can run Crysis at high settings for under 700 bucks.

This config seems to be all you will need since Crysis is by far the most graphic enhanced game to date. If you do choose this you'll save big time and you could invest in other areas like that big monitor! or a nice sound system. I bought some drivers that made my realtek high def match studio quality with surround touch Oo I got that from this link:
www.mysoundware.com

it's a listing of different drivers and audio software It saved my audio card and made for a great listening experience.

I wanna buy a gaming pc under 700 $ (30000-32000 RS.).....suggestions?

Hmmmm....

rite now my preferable config is dis -

AMD Phenom II black edition 3.2GHZ 955
Seagate 1 TB SATA HARDDRIVE
4GB DDR3 KINGSTON RAM
ATI RADEon 5570 1GB Graphics
Gigabyte 818 Motherboard
Intex Cabinet (Dual Fan)
500W SMPS
Samsung 20 inch LED Monitor

I already hav keyboard,joypad,Mouse n Speakers so no need of that..


will i be able to play fifa 11,gta 4 ,san andreas,ashes 2009 etc. @ highest settings...?

n wht abt crisis n crisis warhead?

all suggestions regarding better performing parts @ competitive price r welcomd.....plz reply soon...

Answer
You can run those games at max settings except for GTA IV and Crysis. You would need a quad core CPU and a better graphic card to run those games at max.

If you can get a Phenom X 4 processor(150 US$) and an ATI HD5770 graphic card (120 US$), you might be able to run most of the latest games at max or even the upcoming games but you might have to spend 100$ more.

Buying a dual core core CPU now is not a very good idea, especially if you are planning to use it for 2-4 more years. Most of the games and applications today requires at least a quad core to run at high settings.

Can you give me some really good gaming specs for a gaming PC top build for less than 1000 dollars?

gamerkilla

Ok, 1000 dollars is my max budget for a gaming desktop. I need windows, keyboard and mouse so that is already about $130 dollars right there. What are the best specs I can get with about $900 hundred dollars or less? I want to play all games on medium settings with 60+ FPS.

Answer
Best I could come up with on Newegg.com for less than $900:

-Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive ($64.99)

-ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard ($102.99)

-EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card ($124.99)

-SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold ((SS-650KM Active PFC F3)) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD ... ($139.99)

-Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX ($49.99)

-Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 ... ($219.99)

-COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible Intel ... ($29.99)

-Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan ($11.99)

-ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM ($16.99)

Total: $761.91

As for cables and other little things like that, I left you some elbow room to squeeze those in. I also don't think I did enough cooling, but you can squeeze that in as well if you want. And as for the case, that's perfectly up to you. But with the rig I set up, it should be able to run any game fairly well. :)

lol dat da

How much in percentage of what I have should I spend on the Motherboard and CPU. I have around 800 to 900 dollars and I am starting from scratch. I care about the gpu but it doesn't have to be high end yet

Answer
Get AMD Phenom x6 1100t (six cores) - 180-185$
MSI 990FXA GD80 (AM3, AM3+ socket) - 180$
Thermaltake toughpower 875 watt power supply unit - 150$
and ATI radeon HD 6950 or nVidia GTX 560TI (not only 560) - search for the price

this will be an very good gaming pc within your budget and will support you for at least a year.
however the computer hardware market is highly unstable.

Where should I buy my Gaming PC and what specs should it have?

best gaming pc parts 2013 image

Ben

During the summer of 2013 I am thinking about spending £1000 on a gaming PC, so I need to know what company makes good 'solid' PC's that do not break instantly and are 'trusted'.

Thanks

Answer
A grand will get you top spec. but you will want to self build, you'll get all the parts you want and quite possibly cheaper than a prebuilt system.

I recently did a build for someone (details are on my email account) which was on a £700 budget,

i5-3570k
asrock z77 extreme4
8gb ram
1tb hdd
WiFi card
OCZ 600w PSU.
7850 Radeon HD graphics.
120gb sandisk extreme SSD.

this came in at 700, so for 1k, you can up the graphics card to top spec and still be in budget...

prices change and tech is renewed quite often so in 6months there will be an even better spec available.

What are the best graphics cards of 2013 so far?

Static

I'm currently putting together a gaming PC, and I would like to know what the best graphics cards of the early part of this year are, so I can make my project worth the money I'm spending on it.

What graphics cards would you guys recommend?

Answer
well, nVidia just released the Geforce GTX Titan...for $1000 dollars you can have the best of the best ;)

If you're looking for something reasonable thought, the nVidia GTX 560 Ti is a great card, I don't know AMD cards that well, sorry.

How do I convince my dad to get a new gaming pc?

Sarju

Hello guys. I am 13 years old and I want to get a gaming pc. My mom said to ask my dad about it. Now I do have decent grades and I do alot of stuff around the house such as doing the dishes, making lunch and sometimes diner for me and my sister, and doing laundry (By the way, my mom and dad are SEPERATED, not divorced and i live with my mom and sis). I want to know how i can convince my dad to get a new gaming pc. I need one because the one we have now is so slow for the stuff i need to do. I make videos and game on the computer.
My budget for building the pc is $800 max. I need to convince my dad. I am going to use this computer for 4-6 years so. My dad is serious about me getting an education. And also, if he says my grades are not good, how should I counter-attack?
First of I wanted to build a computer from the start.
Second, I am basically am going to use emulators and do video editing. I already have the parts layed out.

Answer
If you are going to have a $800 budget, I recommend building a custom pc, you'll get far superior parts and your moneys worth. $800 will get you an above average gaming pc.

You can show him the educational purpose of it, like graphic design, video editing, or a monitor with higher resolution to be able to see more.

How much does a basic gaming computer cost?

Forgelord

How much would I have to pay for a basic gaming desktop? I only want to be able to run high-end games like Skyrim on the lowest reccommended graphics settings at a reliable framerate WITHOUT OVERHEATING. Right now my computer runs Skyrim on the lowest graphic settings and frequently overheats and crashes. Also, would it cost less to build one? Where would I learn how to do that?

How do I start warhammer online?

best gaming desktop yahoo image

mrniceguy1

I installed it. I cant find it in the accessories programs, anywhere on the disk. How do I startt he game? No desktop icon!

Answer
A lot of the questions Iâve noticed that are being asked by the gamers on here yahoo show that there is not a real central place for us gamers to go and really find out answers of question from actual gamers out there. That there is no real central community of an website you can go to for gamers alike around the world. Id recommend this upcoming website www.PlayBlab.com, heard some good news prior to its launchâ¦and read some articles about it, I am excited about itâ¦

I think they will discuss all pure gaming related questions, by the actual gamers like us that are out there. Id definitely recommend it as a source for the future use, I hope even to catch you guys thereâ¦

I hope this helps too some extent, and am sorry I cant give a precise answer,does anyone else have some suggestions?

What specs and configuration could you suggest for gaming PC?

best gaming pc os image

Nusferatu

I'm planning to configure a gaming PC and im confused about the specs of gaming PCs,could someone be kind to share tyheir knowledge about computers?
Here are some of my criteria:
-The price first and foremost,preferrably affordable and cheap not neccessarily branded.
-Hard Drive?
-Processor?
-RAM?
-Graphics card?

Answer
Ok so it's a gamer you want......
MOBO: Gigabyte EX38 chipset or newer
CPU: Intel Q9450 or higher
RAM: (here's the debate: if you use a 64bit OS get as much ram as you can. If you use a 32 bit OS your stuck with 4 GB) I used a 64 bit OS Windows 2008 Server x64 and I have 8GB of G-Skill PC2-1000 Ram, Make sure your RAM has a speed equal to or higher than the FSB speed of the CPU it will help decrease the bottlenecking problem for the data speed from the CPU to the RAM
Cooling: I prefer fans over liquid, but it is truly about choice.
Hard Drive: 3 in total 1) 80GB Western Digital SATA II (for OS only)
2) 1.5 TB Western Digital SATA II (Docs, photos,
and anything else you want to put on it.
3) 1.5 TB Western Digital SATA II ( Movies, or
virtual drives for your games)
Graphics card: I am a ATI fan and love the new HD series cards, but make sure it has a minimum of 512 MB of RAM on board and a cooling fan. I have two GPU's on my system and I run 4 monitors.

Now what I just listed if you bought it retail would run you about 3500.00 to 5500.00. Dependent on your location. I built this system last year and I spent just over 1500.00. I can now buy all of this stuff for well under 900.00. USE EBAY!!!! I have since learned how to find great deals on EBAY and love it. But if you don't have the cash don't bid. Make sure you also have a good power supply in your rig, I used an Antech Quatro True Power 850 Watt PSU. It is not cheap but it is worth it to have the power there when you need it.

If you want to build it your self have fun, it is a great and rewarding experience to build your own system, but if you don't want to build it your self, send an email to jdptechnology@yahoo.com, they will build what you want and do it cheap. I know this for fact because they just built a system for a friend and it had a diamond viper Graphics card with 512MB RAM on the card and had a n ECS MOBO with a Q6600 CPU and 4 GB's of ram and memory card reader and a DVD burner for under 400.00. It is a sweet machine.

What gaming PC should I ask for this Christmas?

College

This Christmas I am asking for a new gaming PC so that I can start playing more PC games on my computer again. The thing about my current PC is that I don't think that the new PC games that I want to play on it will run smoothly. Some of the games I plan on playing are Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 (assuming it turns out to be really good when the relaunch of it happens), Diablo 3, might consider getting Skyrim (because the PS3 version is just CRAP), and might try some shooters if I feel like it.

My current computer runs actually pretty good except the graphics card keeps overheating when I play a game. Be it a flash game (like a fb game) or try an online game like Final Fantasy XI.
I also from time to time use an art program called GIMP and just practice doing artwork on the computer. The program takes up a lot of space both for the program and the pictures I make. It also gets a virus from time to time but that's mainly because I only have Norton Security. Wondering if it would be better to just get an Apple computer.

So I what I want to know is this. Should I ask for a new computer? If so, which one that can be found for around $500 to $700.

OR

Should I just get someone to work on my computer and buy new parts for it. I know that often can be cheaper to do and less of a headache to move all my files over. I will post my specs below.

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (6.0, Build 6002)
System Manufacturer: HP-Pavilion
System Model: FQ550AA-ABA m9426f
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 8190MB RAM
Hard Drive Space: 431 GB free of 582 GB

Would really appriciate any informative input on this.

Answer
Umm..why don't you just get a new and decent video card?? And what kind of logic is there in getting an Apple computer for probably double the $$ that isn't good for gaming in most scenarios??

I'd do one of the two:

1. Overclock your Q6600 to around 3 ghz if you can. Buy a decent brand 650 watt PSU and an AMD 7850 Radeon. Probably run you $275 total

2. Sell it and build a Core i5 3570K system
