SPECS

 

Windows8.1

Intel i5 3370 @ 3.1 ghz

12 GB ddr3 RAM

Nvidia GTX 770 4gb GDDR5

1TB HD

 

I swear I am not trolling. On a screen it looks like a decent set up, but I am having massive problems with freezing, running hot (not over heating), I am having to turn the graphic levels down to play games and I dont know why.

1. What games are you having issues with?

2. Have you tried to install the latest drivers for all of your hardware?

3. Are you overclocking the hardware?

 

Your answers to those questions should help us to provide suggestions. :-)

Your pc is stronger than a ps4.

 

But companies optimise better for ps4's than for pcs. This is because they know exactly which hardware is in the ps4, so they optimise for exactly that hardware. While in pcs people have all kinds of stuff, so they just try to make is as good as they can on average between all the pc hardware.

A pc can never beat a PlayStation when it boils down to active gaming... The Sony PlayStation was specifically built to handle the gaming heat... The processors are not the same in anyway... You should slow down on the type of games you install ... If your computer is freezing, go for lower quality games or get a gaming console

I personally like game console entertainment. There's nothing like sitting in your favorite chair using a wireless controller. To me PC game play seems like too much work and I wouldn't enjoy it. The only thing I played online with a PC was Sims back in the day, but it really was more like human chatting, more so than game play itself.

 

So....PS4 gets my vote!

I always prefer the PC over the gaming console. There is not a way that you can compare the gaming pc with a gaming console. Gaming PC is somthing really love. Thanks for sharing the thread. I'll definitely look into it.

The PC can always out-weigh a console due to it's upgrade-ability. Yet, a console (in general) are specifically designed with gaming in mind. I wouldn't say that these machines were designed specifically to handle overheating issues... their small form factor and small fans to run "quiet" often do not help to circulate the airflow to cool the machine down under heavy load. You'd have to help the PS4/Xbox 1 with this by creating a healthy flow of cool air and an equal amount of exhaust (to remove bottle necking). I have my PS4 in an Ikea open home entertainment unit and often the heat build up occurs and the fans kick in at 100% (loud) because it's choking on heat. I have't really modded the furniture for the PC by opening holes and adding exhaust fans (I'm lazy)... but I have experienced some chop within the PS4 home screen GUI every now and then.

 

I favor PC Gaming because of comfort and expandability with the machine. You can create your own airflow/water cooling system to your liking(budget) as well as installing the parts you want over a gaming manufacturer (like Alienware or Origin PC). I owned an Alienware Laptop before (big mistake) M9700 which was the first SLi laptop... yet, it was plagued with overheating issues, with age. (Didin't last me more than 3 years without constant care and attention). For FPS and MMORPG's I'll stick with PC... racing/adventure console. (I have both worlds ;) )

 

My gaming rig blows the PS4 Pro out of the water in specs and performance and runs super cool...
