Are we at pretty much the max needed for high end graphics cards in 2013/2014?

"share requirements that show the game the way it was meant to be played."

It also comes for Xbox360 and PS3, so I don't buy that argument.

A little off topic but I was reading an article a little while ago that says than Nvidia and AMD are preparing for 8K monitors in the future. Basically the number of pixels of 4 4K or 16 1080p monitors. What amount of GPU power that's going to require I can't even imagine.

and, not to be left out.....

What....the.....???? This is going to start getting ridiculous real quicklike for anyone prior to the 900 series!

My thoughts too... I was hoping to slide into a 290 series at some point, but now I think I'll just crawl under a rock somewhere and play my old gameboy B&W.....

I had the same thought...just don't buy any new games and replay what I have....as well as stuff I've never touched. *Sigh*

Had it been a Jedi Knight I would have liked it. I've wanted a Jedi Knight since the Doom 3 engine came out.

I guess that would help to explain the rumors about Big Maxwell coming with 8GB VRAM. This may turn out to be marketing hype about Shadow of Mordor but I felt like we turned a corner with Watch Dogs 3 GB VRAM minimum requirement for Ultra settings. Even the mid range Maxwells GTX 970/980 are coming with 4 GB VRAM.

I came here to kick ass and beat heretical varwawawhwahdwaewera tail. And I'm all out of ass.

I recall him being the fellow that made a million threads on his first day, suggested a submerged PC inside a submerged tank inside a fish tank, and then made a build thread that turned out to be a fictional build, unless I am recalling thing incorrectly. He also said he was a web developer and general PC Masterrace member. I am here to state otherwise. Last I recall the mods told him to calm his baby lumps, and he left. How this thread got by unnoticed is beyond my comprehension. The guy is like the replying version of Jorge, only he stopped replying.

I vote for thread closure, nothing of value lost.

EDIT: For the love of god, he's the one that thought putting two ethernet cables into one machine, from the same router, would double his internet speeds because speedtest.net told him so.

you must be talking about someone else.

1) didn't want a pc in a fish tank
2) I never made a fictional build. The real build I made 2 years ago is the build I am using to type this post. It's still top of the line over 2 years later.
3) What is PC Masterrace? Definitely not one since I don't even know what it is.

Go troll elsewhere. No wonder no one listened to your request to close.

And stop saying God's name in vain.

My definition:
PCMasterRace is a group of humans who believe to be superior just because they have the ability to build expensive, "high-end" computers just to play games at a yearly or lower time frame. They often appears in a post or comment by saying: #PCMasterRace <text>

One of their many common behaviors include, but are not limited to: Exhibit their hardware between them in a reserved space, area or topic; run several benchmarks and compare their results against each others'; and most obviously to insult console and console gamers.

They can also be identified by the use of similar avatars/profile pictures: http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/508/616/01f.jpg

Ok, his post and blue-knight's were the biggest piece of trolling I have seen in here in a long time. He's on my ignore list.

B-K I will give the benefit of the doubt to since I have interacted with him quite a bit on this site, although it boggles my mind how someone is on a basically PC-centric site and make such hated comments against pc users.

Really it's just a bunch of dorks on reddit who think they're being satirical and ironic, and condescending at the same time, yet most of the subscribers truly believe in the BS which has been spewed. It's a self feeding beast of silliness that's good for nothing more than a brief chortle before moving along with your life.
