Why does my PS3 lag offline on most games on 23 inch full 1080p LED PC monitor ?

WILDLEGHOR

So for 2 years I've played on my PC which was a very powerful rig ! But recently last week, I bought a PS3 Slim & I've been noticing some lag (basically rendering lag,) on most games like KZ2 (appears to run in about 35 to 40 fps & not 60), Fallout 3 GOTY (same problem), etc ! Overall the gameplay is smooth & fps are constant but it feels to me that I'm getting about 35-40 fps on all games & not more than that ! Why is this so ? Is it because I've been gaming on my powerful PC rig in the past @ 60fps ? Is it because of my small size of PC monitor (using HDMI though !)? Can someone name me some games that run a.) full 1080p b.) 60fps constant (a. & b. can be different) ? It's getting more than enough air-flow as I've placed a big ass giant table fan in front of it & after touching it for more than 5 hour, I can safely say it's not overheating or getting hot AT ALL !! It's mildly hot (but as you'd except, not more) !

What do you guys think is it me being paranoid (especially because I gamed on my powerful PC for so long) ? Is this the same feeling everyone gets while playing ? Or is it just me ? Will buying a 40+ inch HDTV solve my problem to some extent ! PLz.. tell me the cheapest price of a 40 inch full HDTV (don't care about company/manufacturer, i just want an estimation of cheapest quality 40inch HDTV) ? What do you think ? Can this be because of a cheap HDMI cable (red in colour)

Any PC gamer turned to PS3 gamer's advice would be really helpful, also someone gaming a PS3 on 25 inch or low monitor advice would be appreciated !

Answer
Your problem actually stems from your PS3 and not your monitor. Had the same problem when I switched to a PS3 when my PC blue-screened on me. Also, contrary to popular opinion, Fallout 3 GOTY is not perfect. In fact, a week into buying the game, i had 7 freezes and 2 crashes on my Fallout 3 GOTY, on a MONTH OLD PS3 ! The size of the monitor doesn't matter, as I run mine on a 21 inch LG monitor at 720p. My advice to you would be, if you have such a powerful PC, play Fallout on said PC. Leave the PS3 for console-only games. I've always noticed Fallout working better on the PC anyway.

Good PC gaming monitor?

KewlzYo

Right now I'm using a 1440x900 Samsung 19' monitor for all my gaming, but I'm looking to get something bigger.

The specs I want are 1920x1200 resolution (only 16:10 ratios, not a fan of the TV style 16:9), with a size of 24". Under 6ms lag would be cool also.

Any brand, and obviously cheaper is better... ;)

Thanks!

Answer
Any monitor you get that is bigger will work, what you should look into if you're worried about the resolution is your graphics card. Every graphics card has a limit to the resolution that they're capably of displaying. Mine, for example, is capable of displaying only up to 1440x900 (ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO). Check your settings on your current gfx card by going to the desktop settings and seeing what the max possible resolution is on yours. If yours can display what you're looking for, then just get a bigger monitor, preferably one with HD capabilities. If you can't display the resolution you're looking for, get a new graphics card along with your new monitor.

How much will I need for a good gaming PC?

best gaming pc and monitor image

Brent Stic

Hi, I was just wondering how much money I would probably need for a good gaming PC (including monitor, mouse, etc). I do not necessarily want to play every game with fully maxed out setting, but at least on the mid-high end spectrum for the next few years. I am trying to muster up about $1000, but I'm not sure if that will be enough. Also, if you know any reliable, well-priced PC's, a link would be great.

Answer
With monitor, you can have an upper level gaming PC for $1000

Basics should be something like

- i3 or i5 processor (or the AMD equivalent)
- P67 or Z68 motherboard (see above)
- minimum an ATI 6870 or NVidia GTX560ti graphics card
- 600 watt modualr power supply (lmodualr because easier for cable managment)
- 4 to 8GB of RAM @1333/1600MHz (higher speed isn't needed because of unnoticable speed gain)
- SATA 600 hard drive
- LiteOn DVD burner
- Well ventilated case
- 24" monitor from Acer or Asus (cheapest around and pretty decent)
- Simple but good mouse and keyboard from Logitech or Microsoft

The above goes between $900 and $1000 when scanning a site like NewEgg...

How to set up computer with dual monitors to only play sound from a certain monitor?

best gaming pc and monitor image

RB

I have my computer hooked up to my TV through a miniHDMI cable. I want to have the sound to come from only That monitor. For example: I want to have netflix for example to play on the TV while I am playing a game on my PC monitor, but only want sound to play from the TV, and not the PC monitor. I have windows 7 home premium edition 64 bit, and use an INTEL/nvidia system if it matters.

Answer
You can easily extend your Windows desktop across more than one monitor by plugging two or more monitors into a desktop computer or one or more monitors into a laptop. Most laptops allow you to connect one external monitor. A desktop that spans two or more monitors significantly increases your desktop area so that you can drag windows, program icons, and other items to any location on the extended desktop.

How much will it cost to build a gaming pc?

That Kid F

I was looking into building a gaming pc instead of buying a next gen console since everyone online says its cheaper than a console.. Which I only seen the computer not including a monitor or keyboarding or anything go for $699 at the cheapest? Can someone tell me a rough price point of what the price would be?

Answer
A good gaming PC that can run Crysis 3 on High getting 30 FPS will cost around $500. I am linking you to a build that has everything you need. You can also always check youtube channels such as teksyndicate(razethew0rld), Adam Evans(duncan30333), NeweggTV, and LinusTechTips/NCIX

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twUM3vkm-mo It seems many people have decided to use this, as Newegg contacted him saying that they will be getting more of the parts, as they must have ran out!

What gaming pc would work best for me?

best gaming pc and monitor image

Joyce

I've been considering purchasing a gaming pc, as I've been gaming a lot more than I used to and found a pretty nice monitor just a little bit smaller than the average TV.

My laptop's obviously not really the best to play games on.

I'd like the games (stuff like Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, Bioshock, etc) to look good and work smoothly. That's all.

Any ideas? Minimum requirements?

Answer
I suggest you CybertronPC, as you have said that you need a gaming PC to play games like Mass Effect, Assassins Creed and Bioshock. This PC is well built for game processing, it has 3.6 GHz quad-core of AMD, 8GB DDR3 SDRAM, 500 GB hard drive and 1 GB video card of AMD radeon.

So as far as gaming is concern it is a great machine to play high graphic games and the recommended specifications of the games you mentioned are lower than CybertronPC's this model. Here you can find actual user review of this gaming machine:
