Portal 2 in Februari!

[Eraser]

good one Mause
I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive though

[Ryoki]

i suggest you buy a PC

[Eraser]

Good suggestion. I will do so some time probably, but first I need to put together my IKEA desk and clean up the attic a bit so I can put it down there. Then I have a place to put a new PC and I can start thinking of buying a new one.

[scared?]

i finished it in 45 minutes...

[AmIdYfReAk]

what are your specs? i have a ssd and still only get 7.6 for hdd.

I7 950
Corsair XMMS3 1600Mhz 7-8-7-20 @ 1T
Vertex 2 60gb
2X WD black 640GB Raid 0 on ICH10R
2X Zotac 460 1GB

It took me roughly 3 hours to finish it, but i was checking everything out, Looking for hidden areas and or glitches, and overall enjoying the story.

Well done game indeed.

[Eraser]

I meant put the table down. On the floor

[seremtan]

lol, i get a 7.4 rating out of 7.9 for my rig

lol, eraser

LOL you.

i should probably have clarified that i get a 7.4 rating with nothing more than an i5, 4GB RAM, a GTX460 and 80GB SSD

that's not exactly cutting edge now, is it?

[seremtan]

yeah the SSD drags me down too: 7.4

what's up with that?

[bitWISE]

Beat the co-op with my roommate last night over the course of 4-5 hours. Great time but it didn't feel like it ever got hard enough.

[xer0s]

I want to play this, but I have no friends to play coop with. Would anyone be willing to play with me? I really don't want to buy it for the single player alone...

The the i7 is not cutting edge at all as well, the sandybridges are out.
the i7 2600K is a good 2-20% faster then mine.

[shaft]

The rating are fucked, I have similar specs and I don't get anything above a 7.6.

well, i got this bundle recently: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... 39&subcat=

- CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.40GHz Sandybridge CPU
- Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-UD4 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard **B3 REVISION**
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
- Cooler: Corsair A50 CPU Cooler
- Artic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

this gives me 7.6 for the CPU and 7.8 for RAM

[AmIdYfReAk]

Not sure what to say man, The only thing still lingering is the fact that you have an i5 sandy bridge, when i was talking about the i7's.

I've re-ran it a few times and always got the same score.

Edit: Another thing that is holding that system back, the ram... its CL9.
I'm sure its 9-9-9-24 @ 1.5V , While mine is 7-8-7-20 @ 1.65V.

[seremtan]

not really sure what that means, but the RAM is the highest rated component on my rig. the SSD is giving me the 7.4 - probably because it doesn't have the fastest transfer rate

tbh i've kinda lost the thread of what point i was trying to make now. i'm happy with my system, and that's all that matters. i haven't subjected it to any serious punishment yet, and i don't generally give a rat's wiener about benchmarks

[AmIdYfReAk]

Good to hear.
Giv'er.

[Plan B]

wtf is this shit?

Gamespot comparing graphics on 3/4 platforms (xbox360/ps3/pc, why not include the mac version?)
Did Valve really deliberately debilitate pc graphics quality?

[MKJ]

seeing how valve openly dislikes the closed console platform and only release for it because its good business sense, i extremely doubt it.

PC version looks best to me.

Click for uber-res.

[AmIdYfReAk]

^^^^^ truth.

[MKJ]

The buying part there isn't the problem. It's the "having a PC that can run it" part is, though. I need this game for XBox 360.

Fair enough, although I cannot possibly imagine playing this game with any level of success on a gamepad. Especially when it comes to those multi-fling portals where you're creating portals on the fly, as it were.

tell that to this guy. on xbox.



edit: fuck you bkb
