While this is all good and fine, I wonder what kinda computer it would take to run this? I may just wait.
I wonder with a higher res screen, does that mean you can back off on super sampling?
Another stupid question from the noob extraordinaire: I have my computer completely built sans graphics card and ram. Will the machine turn on without ram so I can fart around in the bios or will it not give me a screen at all? I'm antsy. Ram arrives tomorrow, gtx1080ti arrives ????. Should I wait to start installing things or will that somehow fuck things up for me if I put the graphics card in after putting windows/etc on?
With a 1080ti I'd set everything to max
You'll get audio via HDMI from your graphics card. Surprised you're not getting it from the on-board graphics, but there's probably just a setting somewhere you missed.
Are you planning on gaming at 1080p or sending 4K to the TV? A 1080 Ti will absolutely crush pretty much any game at 1920x1080 (complete overkill really), but since your display is fixed at 60Hz, you might as well run it at native 4K and drop your settings a bit to hit 60fps. Even with reduced settings, native 4K will look better than 1080p upscaled.
So I have it built now. And it's amazing. It's amazing the difference between games I play on ps4pro and this (and hi was a big ps4pro fan). Much higher resolution and mich faster frame rate. It makes the games almost look.... weird in comparison.
The PC space is a little different than console though, yes you get more, fps, resolution, etc. But at the same time, a console is meant for just plug n play, wait til a patch breaks your game on PC, it can be weeks or months before it gets fixed, if at all. Look at Nier Automata, the PC version is in shambles, til someone taht wasn't Platinum came and fixed it. Don't get me wrong, I love my PC and gaming on it, but there are some games you will never see on the PC.
There are plenty of PC games that never make it to consoles or don't translate well if they do. But yeah, shitty ports are part of the deal in PC land. Best to keep your preferred console around for exclusives and broken ports.
Of course, there are some games that are broken on all platforms and the community patches actually make the PC version the best choice. (I'm looking at you, Bethesda.)
I really don't know how anyone plays an FPS on a console, it looks like poo and plays like poo in comparison.
Mouse and keyboard has it's flaws. Walking around with keyboard keys sorta sucks. And the buttons simply will never be as ergonomic. But Yes, aiming with a mouse is a million times better.
With that said, I'm playing mouse and keyboard with everything except fallout. I simply can't play it without a controller.
