Ever get that disappointing moment when you can't run a game on max settings?

that disappointing moment when your game lags on the lowest settings.

Offspring Fling.

yep arma 3

Grew up playing half life 2 at 20 fps at 640x480. No, I dont get disappointed by it. I generally expect everything to run like shit.

Yeah ive been used to playing games having to constantly adjust the res and settings, just a few months ago i got a good graphics card so now i can actually max stuff for the first time :D

Nope. I remember the days of running Half-Life in 320 * 240.

I have a decent laptop that can run anything Nvidia or Source on really good settings (except Just Cause 2, that lags if I put the settings up).

Never happens, always mid / low for me and happy with it.

Epiphany? Why am I complaining if I can run BF3 on high? =/

The only game I have had an issue with was Crysis 3, and that was on the inside where its said to be normal at. Haven't bothered trying to set it to max outside, looks fine enough to me anyways.

lol no. I'm happy if my Intel HD card can run a game on low

This one takes the cake for me: I have DirectX 11, but Source Filmmaker won't run because it thinks I don't have DirectX 9.

I can't run the first Assassin's Creed, I get in the game and I have 1-5 fps and even the sound lags out. New ones won't even work.

Yes, but I will be picking up an extra gtx 650 ti in a couple months.

The witcher 2 man. I gave it t myself in my birthday on 2011 and I have FPS drops even on the lower settings :/ It's playable at least.

that moment when i cant run a game on max settings?, has happened to me about 80% of the time.

moment when i cant even run it?, about 50% of the time.

i have learned to live with my skyrim on 15 fps normally (and 5 when stuff like fire gets on my way), yeah, a game that can run at a minimum of 15 fps is enough for me, i find it often funny when people complain about not running it for more than 30 fps, 30 fps would be like paradise to me

More like "that disappointing moment when you must run game on medium/low settings because optimalization sucks"

Yes it happens with, let me see.... every game.

Had Mac, couldn't run anything on lowest. Got PC, can run everything on highest.

I no longer know that feel.

Yep, happens with most games because I have a two year old laptop with crappy integrated graphics. I'm lucky to get low settings in some games, much less max.

That happened to me my entire life, before this PC I was lucky if I could even start the game :P

Hmm nope...that was back before I had a laptop with integrated card. I'm happy enough if I can run heavy 3D games (like Fallout) in 15 FPS.
Now that I own a laptop with better dedicated card...I can say I'm slightly disappointed if I can't run at max, but no biggie.

Nope, I never maxed anything in my life.

Can't play Amnesia the Dark Descent, it lags horribly for me

Never had the problem.
