Imagine the world with no video games. Coming through the paths of many
historical changes it preserves a time from the daily routine of trillions of
people in the world. There is hardly any
educated person who didn’t play video games and stuff.
Now what is a video game? And how the modern video games has come into
the field of technological world rather say in everyday life??? The answer of the question should be given before
proceeding.
A game played by
electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a
television screen or display is called as video games. The “video” in
"video game" refers to a display device. However, with the popular
use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display
device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms;
examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms are broad in range, from large
computers such as mainframes, to handheld devices such as cell phones and PDAs.
The user interface
to manipulate video games is generally called a game controller,
which varies across platforms. For instance, a dedicated console controller
might consist of only a button and a joystick, or feature a dozen buttons and
one or more joysticks. Early computer based games historically relied on the
availability of a keyboard for gameplay, or more commonly, required the user to
purchase a separate joystick with at least one button to play.
Many modern computer games allow the player to use a keyboard and mouse
simultaneously.
Beyond the common
element of visual feedback
, video games have utilized other systems to provide
interaction and information to the player. Chief examples of these are sound
reproduction devices (speakers) and an array of haptic peripherals. One variant
even utilized heat and mild electric shocks when the player failed to succeed.
It was in 1962 when a young computer
programmer from MIT, Steve Russell fueled with inspiration from the writings of
E. E. "Doc" Smith*, led the team** that created
the first popular computer game. Star war was almost the first computer game
ever written, however, they were at least two far-lesser known predecessors:
OXO (1952) and Tennis for Two (1958).
It took the team
about 200 man-hours to write the first version of space war. Steve Russell
wrote Spacewar on a PDP-1, an early DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation)
interactive minicomputer which used a cathode ray tube type display and
keyboard input. The computer was a donation to MIT from DEC, who hoped MIT's
think tank would be able to do something remarkable with their product. A
computer game called Space war was the last thing DEC expected who later
provided the game as a diagnostic program for their customers. Steve Russell
never profited from Space wars.
Then what else?
With the invention of many digital technology pc games has turned into a whole
new perspective. Modern games like Call Of Duty series( which includes Modern
Warfare(1,2,3), World at War, Black Ops(1,2) etc.), Batman Arkham Asylum ,
Barman Arkham City, Need for Speed series, Max Payne series, Prince of Persia
series, Hitman series, Mass Effect series etc. which are actually a few among
the thousands. These kind of new edge games requires not only a personal
computer but also requires computers equipped with special kind of hardware and
software.
What we need?
Ø A PC with all its basic components
(it is obviously the most important need).
·
A monitor.
·
A keyboard.
·
A mouse.
·
A speaker.
·
A processing unit with all its components.
Excuse
me. What are you saying? You have all the components I am talking about but any
of the above
mentioning pc games do not run in your computer!!!! Am I missing something? Yes of course. What
happens if I say we need a pc with its basic components having some extraordinary features???? Then
you might release your breathe. Yes actually it needs extraordinary features.
Now what component should have what kind of special features is the discussable
matter.
Now what should we buy? A
desktop computer or a laptop computer! My option will be a desktop computer.
Because a desktop gaming computer is much more convenient than a gaming laptop.
Though it is a very narrow dissection for me. If you have money in your pocket
and much willing to buy a gaming laptop then go for it. If you want to go with
my discition (buying a gaming desktop) please buy an assembly desktop computer.
It is my strong suggestion not to buy a branded computer.
Now on I am
assuming you are not going for a branded computer otherwise my next “garbage”
will turn into” real garbage” for you.
Your order of purchase should be
as follows (time increases from top to bottom):
Why this particular hierarchy? Let me give
an example. Suppose you are buying a processor first instead of buying a motherboard.
What happens then? A processor may not be supported on any model of
motherboard. That is why if you purchase a processor first you are bound to buy
the motherboard according to the processor specification. So your choice of
purchase will become bounded to a small extinct. Immediately the other
components which fit on motherboard will also suffer due to less scope of
choosing variant. So it is needed to maintain the purchase hierarchy.
MOTHERBOARDS:
Motherboards
are basically purchased considering 4 elements or characteristics. Those are chipset,
socket, form factor and graphics output.
CHIPSET:
A number of integrated
circuits designed to perform one or more related functions. For example, one
chipset may provide the basic functions of a modem while another
provides the CPU functions for a computer. Newer chipsets generally
include functions provided by two or more older chipsets. In some cases, older
chipsets that required two or more physical chips can be replaced with a
chipset on one chip.
Variant of chipsets
Recommended chipset is last 4.
SOCKET:
It is the place where
the processor fits with the processor chip. lGA 1155 is the recommended.
FORM FACTOR: The form
factor of a motherboard determines the specifications for its general shape
and size. It also specifies what type of case and power supply will
be supported, the placement of mounting holes, and the physical layout and
organization of the board. Form factor is especially important if you
build your own computer systems and need to ensure that you purchase the
correct case and components. You are recommended to choose the ATX form factor.
I
am going to announce a motherboard model from intel that fits with all
requirements which are mentioned above is Intel –DZ77RE-75K.
Processors:
Any
third generation Intel i5 or i7 processor. The clock pulse rate of the internal
circuitry of value greater than 2.6 Ghz is recommended.
RAM:
Actually
I am going to talk about a component that
will cause sudden fall of the importance of having high end RAM. I am
pretty sure you will do something rather than playing game on your computer.
Think if your computer takes 30 minutes to open for a poor quality RAM.
Meanwhile your friend(s) can cover extra stages of the game and you wait for
your pc to stat. it will be a shame for you and your pc. So definitely buy a
good RAM for your pc. Try to buy any G
SKULL 3 GB DDR3 type
RAM. Transcend is also a good brand for you
to choose.
Graphics card:
And
here comes the part which has the most priority to play high end games release
now a day. It is my personal favourite part also.i have waited a long time to
write this particular portion of this article. In this department nVIDIA(yes
its first letter is small) is a brand that wipes out all other which deals with
graphics card. Other than that it
invented a new computer architecture named
KEPLAR. That’s a different story
although. The brand also offers many technology
regarding visuals.
Those are SLI, physX, CUDA, Optimus ,
Maximus . Oh the appreciation is not
going to end soon. The brand also offers 3D Vision Technology and Surround Mode
technology. There is a reason that I mentioned the last two technologies
separately. Becaue I am only going to talk about the last two technologies. The
firsts are bit technical and may not be
understable to all people.
1. 3D Vision Technology:
This technology
offers user to enjoy 3d games in 3d. graphics card equipped with this feature can also offers to play 2d game
in quite impressive 3d. rather than gaming if you want to watch 3d movie from
your Blu-Ray collection then you must have to have this feature installed in
your graphics card. But it is not sufficientto watch 3d movies and play 3d
games. You also have to have 3d vision capable led dosplay and 3d glass and a
3d supported pc. Now how can we understand than the pc we are creating by
component by component is going to be a
3d capable pc or not. No problem guys: I am giving you the answer. Go back to
the motherboard section. I have recommended you to buy an intel product which
is Intel –DZ77RE-75K has the feature nVIDIA SLI cross bridge and
include a custom SLI bridge which is Making this pc a 3d capable one. So here I
also talk about what the system monitor
should be. To choose from vast range of monitor I am providing this link
(ouch I am nothing). http://www.nvidia.in/object/buy-3d-monitors-in.html
2. Surround Mode
Technology:
This
technology offers an ultra-wide gameplay.
Actually the environment of a game is not physically stored in the card.
It is fully programmable. When you need to see the particular direction you
have to move your mouse to align according to the direction and the processor
creates it. To understand this easily I can mention an example- The Panorama
Pictures. A panorama picture offers you a full 360O view of a
scenery. When you watch a panorama picture through internet a part of the
picture appears to your screen. When you move vertically and horizontally the
other portion starts to download. Now the same things happens to a game. If the
video card is vast in memory it can hold all the ambience of the gameplay and
can displays instantly when required. Now Surround Mode Technology offers the
game play lihe this picture.
So you can understand how this feature
from nVIDIA creates a whole new experience in playing video games. This feature
can drive upto 4 monitors at a time.you again need 3d vision glasses and 3d
vision ready display to enjoy it.
I am giving the same link again fir
your convenience: http://www.nvidia.in/object/buy-3d-monitors-in.html
I am directly mentioning a grphics
card model number which is highly recommended. That is nvidia GeForce GTX 690.
Hdd:
If you want to play many games at once
then please try to buy hdd above 240gb of capacity.
Other
peripheral device:
Razer is a good brand to buy its
gaming keyboard, mouse and headphones. To know more go to http://www.razerzone.com/.
Hope you enjoyed reading my article. If you
have any kind of query, likes and dislikes please comment.
