Argh. This is getting incredibly bad. I watched a recent episode of TSS, and Kevin Rose made it plain as fucking day that, in gaming, the processor is MORE important than the video card, and that if you're gonna play D3, you should consider upgrading your processor before video card. WHAT?!
In-motherfucking-credible. I can't believe he would utter such an incredulous statement, reeking of so much wrongness. WHAT A FUCKING DUMBASS! In a game like Doom3, videocard is almost EVERYTHING. This upcoming generation of games is so graphically intensive that your processor should almost become secondary, perhaps even so far as tertiary in importance when compared to the damn video card. I mean, I'd put it like this: 1)Videocard, 2) RAM capabilites/mobo threshold, 3) Processor.
Case in point. Family member of mine gets a free "ass-whipper" Dell from his university (where he works). Obviously, there's a big problem here. "Ass-whipper" and "Dell" have no right to be in the same sentence. This thing is business machine, it belongs in a student lab. It contains the following: 3.2C P4, 1024MB PC2700, Geforce4 MX440. There's the problem. Business machine or not, that video card sucks. He calls me and tells me that when he performed Doom 3's system scan, it picked Low. I said, "no shit sherlock, that card sucked when it came out, what did you think Doom 3 was gonna do to a 64MB video card with not shit going for it?!"
My point: Kevin Rose and the rest of the crew on TSS need to be dropped like a bad habit. Get the guys from Tom's Hardware in there ASAP. Or the guys from Anandtech. Or FUCKING ANYONE WHO KNOWS SHIT ABOUT COMPUTERS AND NOT FUCKING "SCRIPT BUNNIES" WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT MATTERS MOST IN GAMING!!!!
End rant.
