Tidgy Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 yeah, if i wasnt paying for an engine i would have upgaded my rig, lol so far so good, only one mission has had me swearing at it lol
matmidgley Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I have a 1440p that can be overclocked, I have ran it at 100hz (others have ran it higher 120hz+) but everytime new graphics card update need to repatch the driver and over clock it again. doesnt take long to do tho really.
Gambit Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 One of the main reasons I didn't get it on PC I'd need more ram and a bit better graphics card I think. Probably be able to play it but lowish graphic setting :(

Probably be able to play it but lowish graphic setting :( read above, mine still looks pretty good and doesnt sutter at mid settings and 1920x1080 :) I do have a SSD as well though, but it isnt installed on that
matmidgley Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 playing it on my laptop this morn which is a i7 4700mq, 8gb ram and gtx 765m and it runs pretty well at 1080p med/high have issues with launching tho, have to disable dedicated video adapter to launch as soon as the launcher comes up and logs me in have to switch it back on again. it looks like most people on laptops are having this problem atm

Gambit Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Yeah not a huge laptop fan really I seem to break them too easy. Just sold my last 3 on fleebay as non working lol. But your lappy specs pretty much same as my pc so might be better than I thought at running it.
matmidgley Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 yeh they are, but the laptop is for work :), plus im on overtime paid to play and sit on my ****... my main rig is I7 4770k MSI G45 Gaming MB MSI Gaming r9 290x Twin Frozr 16gb Ram bought this just over a year ago now, 2 years and il upgrade again :)
Sandals Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Ha! sounds very familiar to what I do... I actually specifically bought a gaming laptop so I had something to do while on night shifts! Gaming laptop: (custom built by Scan) i7 4710Q 8GB DDR3 RAM 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD 2 x Nvidia 860M in SLI 17" 1080p monitor Bit of a bruiser at 4kg! Desktop: i5 4670k @ 4.5GHz 8GB DDR3 @ 2133MHz MSI Z87 Gaming Mobo AMD 7990 (water cooled) + 280x in Tri-Fire Lots of HDDs... 1080p @ 120Hz monitor. Need to instal GTA V on my laptop and see how it runs so I can play it while at work during the weekend!
matmidgley Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 :) I only bought the laptop for work lol. I finish work put it in its case take it home and it sits by the desk until next shift.
Sandals Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I take my laptop on holiday... so i can still get my gaming fix while the wife cooks herself in the sun :D
Tidgy Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 mines 4 or 5 years old now, only thing changed graphics and ssd since i bought it. Rather pleased its still going so well :D
Sandals Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 PCs don't need to be upgraded as often as the console peasants make out! :P
Gambit Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Excuse me peasant's I have all 3 well five if you include ps3 and 360 the wii I'll not count that lol.
Sandals Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Haha! I wondered who would bite first... :P I have no interest in the console war, everyone has their own personal preferences... I do have two PS3's but they are generally for blu-rays and netflix... very occasional games tho... God of War being one :D 1
Dogconker Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I use a console for gaming just because it's easier. I have a MacBook for serious stuff and for photographic. I'm not that computer literate so I don't get involved. Problem with a lot of PC gamers is they tend to be very elitist so that's why they get wound up. I play in consoles mainly because more people I know play on them. Classic case in point is, how many other PC gamers can you play GTA with on this forum. It's just more people play mainstream games on mainstream consoles Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk

Im a bit disapointed you can;t set up a car theft empire, cant even sell stolen cars :(
Sandals Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I have a few friends who all have the PC edition... going to play a lot next week during my week off! See what the online is all about!
Dogconker Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 There you go being an elitist PC gamer again tut tut. Let's see you play forza! You can sell stolen cars but it won't let you sell expensive ones. Best car is the Baller 4x4 which sell for $9000 or the one that looks like a Range Rover sells for the same. There's some tuned cars you can get that are worth double that if you can find them. You'll never have enough money though in this game unless you get it modded. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Sandals Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I'm not being an elitest! I'm just being better in every way.... :P I had a shot of Forza on an xbone in Tesco a few weeks ago... how do you put up with the loading times?!?
Dogconker Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 They don't take that long to be honest. I came from the age of the commadore 64 where you waited for 30mins for Apache gunship to load up only fit it to crash in the menu so you had to reload. Those are my recollections of PC gaming so I'm somewhat tarnished Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Scoobyghost Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I have a mid range laptop I play games on. I'd say I spend equal time on my xbone as laptop. Less time on the ps4
Tidgy Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Every icon is a player and this is a small fight :D Yet to see any console do that,,,,,, hahahaha
