I am a PC gamer. I admit it. I play Battlefield 2 and right now there is no game better than this. I built my computer about 2 years ago, and at that time it could handle any game you put at it. I put a Radeon 9800 pro graphics card, which was the best at the time, and it does a good job at Battlefield 2 which is very demanding. I have a 2.8ghz Intel CPU and about a gig of RAM.
I downloaded the new demo for Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. http://www.ghostrecon.com/us/
I could only run it on a low setting to play, and the graphics at that setting are a disappointment to what the game is capable of. There are many new PC games coming out this year that I am excited about, but I just hate the thought of upgrading again. I have been looking into the "midrange" gaming cards, but their reviews show performance less than my card performs at now. I really wanted to use the money to buy another Mac to replace my desktop as my primary machine, but I think my gaming might get in the way of that.
Now I have been playing with the idea of buying an Xbox 360, or waiting until the PS3 comes out. Although I will probably end up buying both systems, I don't think either one can replace games on the PC. So back to the original question.....what is a PC gamer to do?
