Just for the info the new ati 5970 has a max power consumption of 300 watts .....so if you have 2 of those suckers you'll probably need a 1000 watt psu.(600 watts for them and 400 for everything else) but 1200 is still unwarranted

I can only imagine he would be talking about the new motion controllers which kills the console is cheaper thing anyway. that setup is 300$ for everything you need plus 300$ for the console plus 160$ for 4 regular controllers and console games average 20$(70 per game) more. thats 830$. I juist buil a amd phenom 2 965 with an ati 5670 system for 1000$ which is more than double the power of the ps3 at only 170$ more. not to mention the motion controllers wi

[quote]In my eyes, the only thing Consoles have on PCs is that you KNOW the game (in most cases) will run as it should[/quote] except two worlds, universe at war and many others that DIDN'T run as they should(on consoles) and your left with no way to reconfigure the consoles to make them work. of course you did say in most cases not to mention some gaems get unit limits on consoles due to hardware limitation(c&C 3) or limited multiplayer options.&n

The pc gaming is dying argument was just something made up by game companies who want people to only buy games on consoles so gamers would have to be forced to pay for mods and the like. It will never die since all games are produced on pc's and not all gaming companies are that money hungry. also rts,sim and fps are easier to play on pc and will always have a fanbase there.

didnt like the c&c 4 beta. I like basebuilding and am a turtle type player. Thought about dawn of discovery but have seen mixed reviews.

my buddy is running an i7 960 with a 4870x2 with no problems. alot of times multiple graphics card setups are actually hindered by the motherboard and psu. make sure they are not only qualified but get at least a bronze rating if going with multiple cards.

Definitely like C&C 3 better but what other new base building rts's are there ? I actually like supcom 2 better then the first one. in the first you had to upgrade engineers just to build higher level buildings and when you got to 500 units you couldnt find the upgraded one right away which was annoying. strategic view isnt that important since almost every rts comes with a minmap that does the same thing. As for multiplayer they need more large maps. I

I do realize that the antorak is a support cap ship just dont care for the abilities even though I do keep one in my fleet so I can respond to threats quickly. The speed ablilty is the only one I let autocast.. I sometimes use the phase out on enemies to make an escape or to disable half the fleet so I can destroy the other half first. I just think that ablility should only target enemies. guess i'm just contradicting myself now on the usefullness ..oh well

Both companies have decent cards. Used to have to configure my 8400gs alot to get it to display games correctly. I have a 4890 now and havent had to make any adjustments for any game. You'll just get fanboyism with this thread.. Ati does have eyefinity while nvidia is going 3d. currently ati's newest card is the fastest if thats what you are looking for. I will say that nvidias new cards are pretty equal in quality anyway. I havent seen people have pr

Of cousre these threads are probably hurting the game themselves since people sometimes check forums to see what the community is saying before buying the game. If all they see is threads that say its dying I bet they wont be buying. lol I rhymed we should can these threads to stop discouraging new players other than that I have to agree to disagree on the other reasons I guess

I doubt smurfing and stacking is killing it. If this was true no games would ever survive long online. for me i;m not currently playing online because both diplomacy and entrenchment desync within 10 min every time and the only way to not get it to desync instantly when restarting the game is to restart my whole pc. There is no way any game can withstand that no matter how big the original player base. Look at what desyncs did in the past to games like Kanes

It does work somewhat against easy AI but any human opponent will quickly concentrate fire on the units not effected and then mop up your other units once the ability wears off.

In actuallity the lamest cap ship has to be the anturak marauder. It even has an ability that hurts your own fleet!!(the make invulnerable one) It makes your fleet effectively smaller helping the enemy(as long as they notice which ships are affected) Suprised this hasnt been complained about before or changed to only affect enemy ships.

I use the Kol as a tank while leaving carriers and lrf's behind it and keep only flak burst active to hit the fighter/bombers that are trying to get by to the ships behind it.. Use other cap ship abilities to enhance it from behind as well.

the problem is that if you play against the new difficulty levels its impossible to outbid them since they make 4 or 5 times the amount of cash. What happens is I use up all resources and money to outbid and still lose so I get attacked and no longer have anything to replenish my fleet and planet after or during the pirate raid making for a quick defeat of me.

Ive stopped playing onlin just because of desyncs. both 1.01 and evtrenchment still desync within 15 minutes for me... Of course me and my buddy only do compstomps but he has now given up and uninstalled it. Entrenchment 1.041 was the only build we could make it through.. Still desynce after 3 hours in that build but we could deal with that now it sdoes it before the first auto save whcih makes it unplayable.
