What game are you playing now ?

Looks friggen awesome, out also for console ?

Yeah, but it will cost at least R645 on console if you have a R100 voucher. I just bought the PC version for R399 with a voucher.

Yes. Was supposed to be released in Feb already but they keep pushing the deadline

Requirements:

• PS4

They said that it is going to push the PS4 to its limits :wtf:

My recent upgrade is made for this schit

The i7 requirement is rubbish, as I've yet to see a benchmark that shows any CPU over an i5 providing a material improvement in gaming. DX12 could change that a lot, but for now CPU is not an issue. My i5-3570K will be fine until then, and my HD7970 is a smidgen worse than a GTX 770. Should play the game fine at 1080p.

I'll probably upgrade next year sometime to all-AMD hardware. I'll be needing a new monitor as the gamut of my current one is giving me issues with web design, and FreeSync monitors are much cheaper than G-Sync ones. It's likely the AMD's' next bunch of CPU's and GPU's will give better bang for buck over Intel and Nvidia, especially considering how AMD seems to be killing it in early DX12 benchmarks.

Let's hope so.

**** next-gen games! Their system requirements are getting more and more ridiculous! it's more convenient to get a new next gen console to play damn games without worrying about saving up cash to upgrade PC parts.

you can get away in upgrading once every 5 years, if - when you upgrade - you do it properly and go all out

Don't think of the requirements as being too high - think of games as advancing at a fantastic pace. Consoles are going to hit their performance limits this year, and that's where they'll stay for many years to come. PC's however will continue to march forward.

It's also worth bearing in mind that right now is the very worst time to buy or upgrade a PC. DX12 is going to change PC gaming in a big way if early performance tests are anything to go by. It seems that 8+ core CPU's will no longer be throttled, and that having a new and relatively high end GPU will provide enormous performance advantages.

Just hang for AMD's Zen CPU's and R9 3xx series video cards.

You don't have to go 'all out'. Not buying crap hardware is sufficient. Nothing less than an i5 or equivalent, R4k+ on graphics, an SSD etc. will tie you over for a very long time.

To me, that's going all out

I hope you are right but I think people are gonna be disappointed when all the hype subsides. The head honcho for xbox does not think DX12 will make BIG improvements to the platform and he's a MS employee. Most game devs also say the improvements won't be that great, you are gonna need more than an API cjhange to get big performance boosts. I think DX12 , Vulkan(Mantle) are being overhyped and people are expecting a doubling of there FPS ratings on their mid-range gpus while is gonna be a LOT less.

Early tests with AMD hardware have shown performance increases of over 300% in some benchmarks.

The head of Xbox isn't exactly going to admit that the difference between the Xbone and PC is going to increase even further.

 

[KleinBoontjie]

@Ponder: +1, only difference is, processing is now done by GPU. So if you have a kark GPU, you'll have kark performance.
I have played BF4 with and without Mantle and I can't see any chages/difference, accept for the fact that I haven't had FC's on Mantle, yet.

The PC will still have the upper hand, with new graphic cards being introduce dayly/weekly/monthly. Where the XBO and PS4 will still have the same GPU next year etc.

I call BS, could you please provide some links to those game benchmarks where they got 3x the fps with mantle enable. I'm not interested in some synthetic benchmark where the performance spiked for a second ala pmpo.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Yeah, that's what I plan to do at the end of this year. I AM GONNA UPGRADE EVERY BIT OF MY RIG!!! EVEN DUST FILTERS!!!! FK consoles!!!!

Thanks for the heads-up I'm so tired and sick of Nvidia screwing us with their overpriced craps that get outdated 5 minutes after they come out.
