Stop plugging your monitor into the onboard output

>>332668819
PC gayming is all about those console ports and mobile and f2p games. good shit. need top of the line.
>>
I have a Radeon HD 6870 still, and it's only been until recent games where I've been seeing frame rate drops in high settings. So I don't know what OP was doing, but I'm guessing he went the pre-built route.
>>
You're right you are just too retarded for PC you should have stuck to consoles
>>
>>332669452
Man shit look at all these console ports.
>>
Late 2011 maybe early 2012, i5 2500k, hd6950 2gb. The last exclusive I bought may well have been Civ V. The last PC game I bought was Xcom Enemy Unknown.

Since then I've got a PS4 and I'm much happier.
>>
>>332670526

Not one good game on there. Way to prove his point.
>>
>>332670250
>>332670021

I honestly don't know why I can't get even decent frame rates, I bought all the parts separately and had my brother build it

am I supposed to upgrade it every 2 years?

my brother built it for me back in 2011 and got me the parts

what's wrong with a 60hz monitor?

That fact you expected it to run past 30 fps on a 60hz monitor.

Dodged that bullet.

You know if you take Buying new consoles when they come out, Full price games, Piracy, and paid online services into account, I think PCs work out to be cheaper than consoles.


I bought my rig in 2nd hand parts in 2008 for 700$ (saved about 800$ and got a free monitor) and I only had to replace some broken Ram and the Power supply. in a year or so I might need to buy a new graphics card but I'll still be running games until then better than anyone on a console.

But hey, it's none of my business if you guys want to waste your money.

I have this cool thing called friends so when the cool hot new game comes out I can just barrow a ps4 or a wii u for the weekend.

My only regret is falling for the console meme and going full master race from the beginning.
Don't worry, you kids will get it someday

I should've bought a console. PCs are a scam. I mean, what do I need one for anyway? Internet access? Pfft. My iPhone does that.

why on earth did you think a 650 would run a 4k monitor ultra?

my 970 runs at 50fps at 1440p nevermind 4k
>>
isnt' 60hz supposed to refresh 60 times a second or something therefore display games in 60 frames per second if the hardware can run the software at that level

im less interested in resolution than I am with things like refresh rate. Honestly, 4k is a gimmick, im not even convinced with 1440. I still like 1080p on a nice screen. just my opinion though
>>
>>332675340
if you like sitting for hours doing nothing but taming a dinosaur go ahead. I don't see any reason to buy this over rust
>>
>>332668819
MY PC is weaker than yours and i get 60 FPS on ultra in all games.
You are probably doing ti wrong.
>>
>>332675185
Of course I did. I even glued them in so they wouldn't come out during an earthquake.

What fucking games are you playing?

Did you not install the chips driver or something?

My 780ti had no problems playing games on ultra 2560x1440 60fps
>>
>>332675503
that sure is one tite macro
>>
>>332675672
That's exactly what it is. Except Ark has way more customization and there's less spawn cucking in my experience.
>>

>PC gaming meme

>2560 screen
LOL You fucking idiot, why would you even buy one for gaming? Might as well be one of those casuals playing on a TV.
>>
>>332675387
I'd say 2k with 100 fps is still better
>>
>>332675720
I don't get this reference
>>
>>332675672
well it pretty much is but the dinosaurs make it worse imo. Big clans will have the best dinos and destroy everyone because they spent like so much time taming them and because they will have guns while most players probably just have spears and stuff. Rust is a lot less grief

>>332675935
Alright thanks man, I'll look into it

do you want a huge game library with cheaper games, better graphics, better controls and mods?

-OR-

do you want a tiny library with online fees overpriced games, and worse graphics, worse controls?


honestly, you dont even deserve to game on PC if you are dumb enough to ask this

I had a high end pc collecting dust for about a year
I put it together and it would turn and shut off immediately
Took it to best buy, drys electronics and a staples. Had three it guys tell me I fried my copy after leaving it with them for a few days each.
I was sad as duck since I killed a 400 cpu and had bent the pins on a 200 mono that I originally got for it
Friend came over one day, looks at it. "anon you didn't hook up any power to your cpu" hook it up, plug it in, it starts.
I didn't know what to feel.
>>
>>332668819
What you are saying if a flatout lie.
The only way you could get that fps is if you have everything on max with 4x msaa

If that is the case, you are too stupid to use a pc.
