PC Players : V

» Mon Aug 29, 2011 11:21 pm

Hey, I was just wondering how many people used a Laptop or hook their computers up too a T.V to play. I know that I'll only be using my laptop. Also If you choose a combination please post which ones, just curious.

EDIT: Laptop specs in sig.

Well, my tower is hooked to a 46" HDTV as its monitor anyway, but I won't be using a controller. There is no reason not to be able to sit on a couch and use a PC too in this day and age.

on my PC but I have a 28" monitor that can spin and a wireless mouse/keyboard so I will probably play it on my bed or chair

Rarely connect my PC to my TV because it looses quality but I will use a controller though until a UI fix comes in.

I have a PC with a Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.6 Ghz and a GTX 460 1GB OC'd to 820 Mhz. Hopefully this will be enough for me to max most settings at 1680x1050 resolution. If not, I'll get a better video card.

I will be using a desktop PC for Skyrim

My laptop will run it just fine, I can't take my desktop away with me sadly. :violin:

I am using a desktop PC.

Desktop pc (my super fast new rig

) connected to my HDTV. Probs buy a nice monitor soon though, pc games on my tv don't look as good as they should. Still nice though

desktop + 22" LED 1080p screen + xbox controller (shame)

» Tue Aug 30, 2011 5:51 am

If the controller feels comfortable, I'll be gaming on the 65" Bravia, otherwise M+KB on my 37" Westy. Definitely would prefer the former...I will probably invest in a wireless kb+mouse eventually. The Bravia + surround sound is nice <3

Desktop

» Mon Aug 29, 2011 5:26 pm

ATI 4870 512Mb
Core2Duo E6750
4Gb RAM

I will play with settings maxed on this computer but I am also upgrading for BF3 and the eventual graphical mods that will be out for skyrim.

Laptop. Far too poor to afford a PC capable of playing it. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to take it up to university with me.

Don't waste your hard-earned money. Build your own and save heaps of cash.

Also, where's the option for hooking it up to a TV and using a keyboard and mouse? Because if I could do that I totally would. Hell, I might hook it up to our 50" for a bit. But I'll use my keyboard and mouse.

Also, I voted desktop. My current box will play it just fine, but I'm considering building a new one for Bulldozer.

your TV needs to have VGA support in the back (just a regular Monitor cable) pending on how old the tv is it may not have it

Most modern TVs have HDMI connectors. So a simple HDMI cable will be enough. Even the extremely cheap one that there's in my house has one...
