NVIDIA Builds GeForce PC Kit

[saaya]

You're forgetting about 4770! It's cool, quiet, cheap, and overclocks like a beast!

hmmm not really...
99$ for 512mb and 140$ for 1gb...
the 512mb is an alternative to a G92 card, but idk... isnt a GTS250 faster? and you can get a 1gb gts250 for 99$, thats damn good...
the 1gb 4770 is ridiculous, you can almost get a 5750 with 1gb for that price... whod buy a 4770 for the same price as a 5750?

i noticed that i posted this in another thread by accident

Saaya, I am surprised your using such a cheap Power supply in your argument. Sure Ultra is not the best(it actually bad), but I would assume that with a lifetime warranty, they are not using a crap oem like deer.

ive built several gaming pcs for friends a couple of years back and always used the cheapest 400-500W cr4p that came bundled with the cheapest cr4-p cases... and while i had 1 DOA, after it was replaced, which was immediatly since the shop swaps those, there havent been problems with those pcs... ever...

unless you build a real highend pc or plan to overclock PSUs are way overrated in my experience...

That system would be suited for 1024x768-1280x1024 ( max ) with moderate settings, as far as current games are concerned. My issue with it isn't the fact I wouldn't buy it but the fact that their PR and marketing direction is very misleading. If they pushed this with words like "starter", "budget" , "affordable" then perhaps but trying to make it out to be way more than it is, is just unethical. "Hey guys, check out our awesome super duper high end gaming system that you can build yourself! Yeah!" Apparently their marketing departments need to maintain the size of their finctional man hoods (aka Nvidia's brand name) by touting anything with the word "Nvidia" on it as the second coming of Jesus... Its just a tad retarded. I'm not offended by the concept but by its piss poor execution of a pontentially good idea. They are just trying to take advantage of their brand awareness and cash in. Bad play, Nvidia, bad play.

i think it could play 1680x1050 fine in most games...
overall, i like the idea... its basically an attempt at making people look at a pc like a console...

but thats stupid because you cant beat consoles when it comes to price performance... as the hardware is subsidized heavily for consoles...
so focusing on price is the wrong way to go, they ned to focus on features...
theres a whole lot more you can do with pcs that you cant do with consoles... and gaming wise pcs can also offer a much better experience than consoles...

i think that idea was good, but the way they did it was stupid...
they should have gone for a 1000us$ mark instead and put together a pc that is a REAL kick4ss system. something that offers better gameplay than consoles... maybe even with 3d display...
