Seriously guys, what do you think?

no graphics card, cpu is shit

He probably already has a graphics card if he isn't buying one.

Or maybe he's totally satisfied with whatever graphics thingy is already on the motherboard.

jk jk lelkektoplol

1) It's an AMD board, the onboard graphics are bad at best, shitty at worst. Even the APU won't make up for that.
2) He has a card, a 6670, and that's also crap.

Well life is crap and most of us don't have a budget for a dobule GTX titan for $3000.

Pff, everyone knows that if you don't have a 5ghz processor and quad-SLI Titan Blacks you're not a real gamer.

Oh yes, all graphics cards are 3000$ Titans. How foolish of me.

Christ, get over yourself.

I only have a Nvidia 570. $130 is what I paid for it and it's worth the weight, and decent for MOST (not, say, Star Citizen) games. It can run SC, just not at highest graphics by a large margin.

My machine's run on a GTX 460 for several years. AFAIK it can run SC hangar on the lowest graphics (not testing that, though), and runs most modern games on mid/high graphics like a champ.

I have a GTX 770 (Kneel before my rather powerful graphix!), it runs pretty much anything at 60 fps at max settings. Except Metro, and Übermodded Skyrim or New Vegas. Judging by the flickering I'd say it does well over 60 fps in Star Citizen on max.
But this isn't a *-measuring contest, is it?

I think Futurecraft * measuring is monopolized by the gay agenda.

I'm using the 6670 because I'm doing a low budget build and I have it sitting around. No, it won't be able to play SC but I'm not aiming for that in this computer

Also,Tiel Stop being such a * to me.
