I gotta question for all you gamers out there..
I'm a gamer myself.. I don't play a lot, but every few months I get a game I really love and finish it.. a few of the games I've played in the past year are:
Call of Duty - Modern Warfare
Call of Duty 5
GTA - Liberty City
FEAR 2
The Sims 3
Spore
Wolfenstein
Batman - Arkham Asylum
Now, I have a pretty good computer system. It's not the BEST gaming rig out there, but it's certainly fast and adaquate, comprised of:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.5GHZ
4GB DDR2 800 Ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 512MB
2 320GB 7200rpm hard drives (working at RAID 0)
I know I can go a lot higher when it comes to performance.. there are 10,000 rpm drives out there, better processors, DDR3 memory and much faster graphic adapters..
What I really don't understand is - W H Y
Every game I ever tried to run on this machine works FLAWLESSLY, looks GREAT, and works at maximum details at 1400x900 resolution (which looks very nice on my 24" monitor).
I'm a total geek and I love upgrading my machine, but if I go out today and buy a new motherboard with DDR3 memory, and 2 graphics cards working in SLI, What will that give me??
I know the games can't run any better (any higher FPS would go unnoticed)... but will they look better? "feel" better?
What will be the difference? what are all these new graphic chips for??
