What Are You Thinking About?

Hehe when I used to be a gaming freakzoid I'd have multiple 'toons on mutltiple computers and play them all at the same time. Its called multi-boxing. I could take on the big bad bosses of the MMORPG world single handedly so to speak. But yeah went overboard with it. Had to kick the habbit.

All those computers for gaming??? :jawdrop: I should be glad I didn't get into gaming pala. hehe.

i spent almost 180k with just one desktop rig in a span of 2 years (di kaya isang bagsak). Ang masama nito buwan lang bibilangin mo, may mas maganda na sa setup mo na mas mura, minsan 1/2 the price lang nagastos nila. :banghead:


Yung kay bro EQ baka milyon na yan, puro gaming laptop eh

So you can't do gaming on an ordinary laptop? What are these games ba that need powerful setups?

I meant an ordinary PC or laptop. How powerful does your pc or laptop have to be to do gaming? If you are not hardcore naman and just want to pass time.

No you can't. Most laptops only have integrated graphics which are just part of the motherboard - these have limited processing power and can't handle high-end games. You need a dedicated video card for that. Laptops with video cards don't come cheap, and most are really bulky because of the cooling system required to keep the temps down.

Gaming on a desktop is much cheaper, but cheap is still relative. A regular office desktop would set you back 15-20k, but if you want a decent gaming rig, double or triple that amount. The high end ones cost as much as a used car, but IMO it's a big waste of money since PC hardware evolves so quickly and depreciation is ultra-steep.

I used to spend my college savings on upgrading my PC, as I was into sim racing before. Now, I haven't changed my specs for years (still running a Q6600 and GTX 460 setup) and I can't play the latest games in Full HD anymore. Good enough for Sims 4 though. [emoji13]

I quit PC gaming when I realized that the hours I spend playing could be spent developing a real life skill, or improving my skill in sports, or spending time with family and friends. With gaming, you kill so much time without improving any practical aspect of yourself.

Depends on the type of games you wanna play and if you wanna max the settings. For typical smartphone type of games, any recent or old PC and laptop will do

Bro jut nag overclock ka rin ba?
I remeber my q6600 can easily be clocked * 50% (3.6ghz) on air cooling (was using zalman that time).
Anyway since most of the time (about 90%), im just browsing. I bought a mid level asus laptop (35k) then switched to home theater as a hobby, mas magastos pala hehehe

Jut is correct . Gaming was a waste of my time and money. But kinda got bit by the witcher 3 and dragon age:inquisition bug soon...... fallout 4!

Yes my laptops are with discreete graphics. As you need these more than the processor to play games. Am an nvidia fanboy . I have one with an SLI dual nvidia combo but it runs too hot. Uncomfortable playing on it.

I tried desktop gaming on a core i7 haswell (I forgot model) and a discreet card. But I find laptop gaming better .

But I find laptop gaming better .

Why bro, i mean aside from mobility?
Comparison lang sa gaming is PC vs. Console lang, parang automatic mas OK ang pc vs. Laptop dahil mas versatile sya.
