The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

Awesome, thank you. I kept seeing how some would be supported but not fully.

I sometimes forget the pleasure of booting a freshly formatted hard drive with a new os. How quick everything is before I fill it with all my shit. First thing I did upon installing 8.1pro though was putting classicshell over the start button and button straight to desktop. Fuck your start screen microsoft!

But 8.1 boots straight to desktop… All by itself.

Really? Weird. First boot was to the start menu so it was the first thing I changed.

Yeah maybe it was just for the first time. 8.1 made it so that if you have m+kb hooked up it goes straight to desktop.

It was probably a first boot thing, you’re right.

I’m looking forward to waiting 364 days of other people’s trial and error with Windows 10 before I upgrade for free on the 365th day.

Joke’s on you, 2016 is a leap year! You could get an entire extra day or testing before upgrading on the 366th day!

I was an early adopter of 8.0. I had no problems with it, but I’m aware I’m in the minority there.

I have access to the early access windows 10, I might put it on my old laptop if it meets the specs. But anyway I say this because I get the windows 10 preview emails, and they have something like 1.5 million beta testers right now.

I Just can’t afford an unstable OS on the machine I work on. My laptop barely runs fine on 4GB of RAM so I don’t want to push it with a new OS. If my desktop becomes a brick I’d have to go into the office every day. :frowning:

I remember getting mangled by people when I played Shadowrun back on the 360, when it was cross platform.

I dunno, I still prefer the way my Corsair Vengeance looks:

Gtx 960 performs better than 760, slightly worse than a 770. Pretty solid for $200.

I do like the look of the corsair but the anodized metal of the ridgebacks is so clean (and makes modding so much easier).

i wouldnt suggest anything less than 8gb of ram for any pc, these days

Elaborate why. The only reason I recommend 8 GB or higher cause it’s actually hard to find a cheap pack less than 8 GB. Otherwise, if you’re only gaming, 8 GB of Ram isn’t gonna do much for ya. SHIT IS 95% CPU AND GPU AND PEE PEE YOU!!

most games minimum specs are 8 gigs now, when they launch, so thats a reason. Also the fact of just being able to browse the web with like 40 windows open. Multitasking, as well. I run a lot of programs, and visualizations, so I dedicate ram there too. Hell, I have 16gb of ram. Price wise, it just makes sense to go for 8 over 4, the price difference isn’t that big, but the difference on your pc is.

anywho:

Windows 10 technical preview is already better than the trash that is Windows 8 that is supposed to be used for production.

Also, if you want a stable OS, why are you evening talking about Microsoft. Linux son…

I’m thinking about getting some more detotated wam.

Were do I download them?

Doesn’t mean you need 8 gigs of ram to run it at 100%.
IE, like those people who see max specs where you NEED i7 when really an i5 would do better.

Not to mention, most devs who put up PC specs don’t know shit about PC requirements to begin with.
They just give a hard estimate and determined the standard and just go on from there.
