[Enjin Archive] PC or Mac?
Started by Unknown User

The only thing I ever use for minetown is my acer aspire laptop, i think it works just fine.

I actually prefer it for minecraft to my desktop
What's the spec and what FPS do you get?

I feel the need to drown your joy with my superiority ><object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>

PC due to the fact I dont like overpaying for products that are purposely released with outdated technology.

apple's technology is not "out dated" Thank you vary much.

But yes, i use my 27' imac, along with my pc. It gets hard to compare the two operating systems, when they do different things.

Windows is universally used while Macintosh is used only on Apple's hardware. As Windows is used by a majority of computer users, it is more vulnerable to being hacked. Macintosh is considered as a more secure operating system.

While Windows focuses on office function, Macintosh is focused on graphics and multimedia functions. Mac is considered suitable for entertainment purposes, whereas Windows is best suited for business use. Mac is popularly used for photo editing and for playing videos and music.

So, you can see that windows and OS X both have advantages and there disadvantages.

While a mac is overly overpriced they do use the latest technology and do offer far more support then a Pc. While I would never use a mac myself they are a viable computer to use just like stated before You could buy a pc with the same specs for a lot less. And like madster said macs are more for a non gaming environment such as Photo and video editing.

400-600 fps, running at 1920x1080 with full graphics, full (2x2 supersampling) anti-aliasing (enforced in nvidia control panel) and shaders. And I'm sure there's someone with better specs than that. One thing to know about the internet: Always a bigger fish! <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object> Best not to act all superior lest one come along and eat you <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f609.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=";)">;)</object>
Macs can be VERY hard to upgrade, while PC is insanely easy to upgrade, whether it be RAM, graphic cards, memory cards and many more

*Glances over at the row of old computers in his closet*

Uhhh.... on that account I'd beg to differ as well! <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>
Windows 7 Professional

AMD FX 8-core @ (box doesn't say, and too busy to do a switch as I'm using the i7 right now) AND an i7 @ 3.4GHz

16GB Ram and 12 GB (one more stick still in the mail, another 4GB)

ASUS M5A99X and Gigabyte Motherboard GA-G1

GeForce GTX 560 Ti and AMD Radeon HD 7950

Two Colossus Cascade 1 TB SSD (OMG you have no idea how much space data can take up, already filled up 800GB in like 3 months of research, lmao).

5 monitors

Luckily... one entire system and two monitors were free to me by the school, one system and two more monitors free to me via a company buying me off (lolol, take advantage of them while I can... then again, they pay for my research and get half the rights, so meh... at least it's progress) and one monitor I had already from my old system, which I still have... just a crap hp with built in everything.

If you didn't know, simulations require pretty good graphic cards... if only I could get Crisis 2 for free... hahahaha, maybe I'd be able to run it on medium quality without any lag.

Sorry Sayomie, you put your specs... I wanted to put mine. /<object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object> Also, I'm getting ready to get a whole new system and I get two keep these systems, so I'm thinking of which one I should give up, and I'd sell it cheaply (not too cheap, like 500 probably) if anyone is interested (you'd also pay cost of shipping, I'd pay for insurance on shipping). Which system of these two should I give up? The AMD is great because it's 8core and can run my simulations pretty damn well, but I think the i7 is better for gaming since ithas the GeForce (which I prefer to AMD graphics, idk why).

Also, if you have a mac... good luck being able to upgrade it anywhere near what even Sayomie has. My friend has a mac and she can't even upgrade that well because mac doesn't make that good of processors as compared to pc, she says.
PC definitely... well at least if you either buy a nice one or build one yourself (which I recommend). Macs are terribly overpriced for the hardware you get for it and also are not very upgrade-friendly. Oh and btw I own a macbook pro...for now anyways
