Have you seen games without Pixel Shader support? :D
They look like this :D :D

ROFL!but this CS has PS 3.0 ;)
BTW that game doesn't look bad at all ;D

Why do you have a .gif that doesn't animate? Fail :D

Mazasrb: That's Dark Empire, a Commodore 64 game I loved back in the 80's :D
alt: /thread

Good i wasn't born back in the 80's :D
I told you once to call me just MAZA .

Graphix or nothing n00bs ffs!!!!11!

OK i agree,gameplay is very important.
I also like to play games with poor (2D) graphics.
But graph is a true spice to the gameplay ;)

That's the word, 'spice' ;)
Nothing more, nothing less :P

Well if you like it visualization candy :)
Unfortunately gameplay and story are worse with graphics improvements.Good graphics make you more in-game but old games are more addictive.

Couldn't agree with you more :D
Too bad I can't give you any more thumbs ;)

Just like the saying "Old is Gold".

SO true ;)

i didnt count the fps without v-sycn.hm if it is 3.8 ghz is enough.but your ram is still a bottleneck

well no 3,8 is not enough its still lagging in multiplayer BF3 on low settings :/ with a ping of 70 i have something between 25 and 40 fps :/ hopefully if the moneys right i'll get an ivy bridge PC in winter :/ with an i5 3570K

hm yes u are right…your rig is a bottleneck :D
your gpu should play bf3 at max settings more tha 25-40 fps :D
your rig is really a bottleneck :D.but for counter strike not really :P

well ofc its still playable with about 30 fps average but its on the border to being not playable :/
my GPU should have an average FPS of 48 in BF3 on Ultra ;DD
I cant wait for winter man :D

winter ^^ best overclocker ^^ :DDDDD

:DD

My CPU wont get over 54/48 degrees at the summer ;D

well there is some difference in OC (;
mine used to get max 42 degrees ;P

for gtx 570? man plz i know..i installed the gtx 560 and even for 560 ddr2 667 mhz was a huge bottleneck…

when i installed the gtx 560 to my old rig it was a bottleneck cause of ram..now with overclock at 1066 mhz i dont think that it will be noticable bottleneck :D.but ddr3 ram is ideal for those cards

yeah well in general DDR3 and quad cores are ideal for the 500 series (; probably the 600 series needs more than 4 cores :/ to actually use all of its power ;P

golliathis
4 cores will be more than enough for 600 series..for example my cpu or 2500k or 3570k…those are good quad core cpus which can handle easily the 600 series

alright sorry for exaggerating :/

i5 cannot handle GTX 690 easily to unleash that card you need i7 3rd Gen.
