$140 for the new GTX 1050 ti card. Not bad if any of you are interested in something like Civ VI. That is some decent performance for $140.

I'm sorry you don't have enough disposable income to go top of the line.

The Cubby Bear has eaten away at IMU's bullion. He'll be eating the beef broth with Don Tiny soon.

I got a GTX 970, scrub!

This is for others that have talked about maybe playing games on PC but never pulled the trigger.

Indubitably! Money is no object for men like Dennis and me or our little buddy IMU. #fasttrack

I'll probably get it after the WS is over. I don't want it to hinder my FOCUS.

IMU, give me the best, inexpensive video cards out there that can handle live streaming in 1080, either with an elgato device or a blackmagic device...

You know, i'd say that the title of this thread is an oxymoron... If you're going to get into PC (master race) gaming then you're going to want to spend money on higher-end stuff.

Honestly, I haven't kept up since the good ol days where i'd tell you that vquake/world looked better than GLquake/world, but of course I didn't have a 3DFX card so I was always gonna stick up for my rendition verite v1000/v2200.

While there's a possibility that nowadays computer tech doesn't double/triple every 1-2 years so there's more focus on the "budget gaming" niche/market--- don't go cheap. Spend the extra $$$ on everything but the overpriced alienware package and you'll thank me later.

If you wanna be cheap that's what god invented video game consoles for tbh

I played WoW for 9 years. It ran like crap on laptops because it is such a memory hog. I would never play that game on a laptop for any length of time. Plus you would want a larger screen for that game.


I always played on an iMac. Blizzard is great about supporting OS.

It'd be the only thing I'd run on it so I don't know that memory would be be an issue. I don't want it on our Mac for the reasons you gave and I don't really want another desktop station in the house . There have to be decent laptops that can handle it .

BR, when I first got a 27 inch iMac it was amazing for that game. The extra screen space made it so much better, and the graphics were sweet. The game is immersive and not really designed to be played regularly on a laptop. You probably want a solid gaming mouse and gaming keyboard. It is most decidedly best played on a desktop.

The lap top would be burning up trying to run that game. You're also best hardwiring into your Internet connection rather than a wifi.

I am just giving you my nine years worth of experience with that addiction.

Streaming is more CPU intensive than GPU intensive. That being said, you'll want an i5-6600K or superior i7, and a GTX 1060 would handle any games at 1080p.

1) Do not play WoW
2) I'm not a laptop expert. I've never done a gaming laptop due to the higher cost for lower performance. That being said, WoW doesn't take much to run it. A Geforce 940M should get the job done just fine. Laptop should be under $500.
