Sweeney PCs are good for anything, just not games” on TG Daily is a Q&A with
the Epic CEO which, as the title of the article suggests, features some
negative comments about the PC as a gaming platform. This is actually just the
age-old complaint about PCs with integrated graphics, as he says that mainstream
PCs are not suited to gaming:
Retail stores like Best Buy are selling PC games and PCs with integrated graphics at the same time and they are not talking about the difference [to more capable gaming PCs]. Those machines are good for e-mail, web browsing, watching video. But as far as games go, those machines are just not adequate. It is no surprise that retail PC sales suffer from that. Online is different, because people who go and buy games online already have PCs that can play games. The biggest problem in this space right now is that you cannot go and design a game for a high end PC and downscale it to mainstream PCs. The performance difference between high-end and low-end PC is something like 100x.
Umm...I read the article. And when Sweeney says PCs are good for a lot things just not games-he's talking out of his ass.
He is talking about machines with integrated video, and he is right. You even agree, otherwise you wouldn't say
I have owned a 8800GTX for over a year now
you would be rocking onboard video, because you disagree... That is where the "Intel snipes" came from. You, however, do agree. It is ok, Intel and AMD agree too, they are working to improve their i.video offerings. You just take a statement of "this needs to be improved" directed at your platform of choice and turn it into a personal insult of some kind. I think your fanboy is showing.
I imagine you're just a little warez kiddie anyway.
Um... what? This must be more of those iffy reading skills you displayed earlier, because I don't see anything written by me that would lead you in that direction. What kind of insult is that anyway?
