Skype or Razer Comms?

[Aleks]

So my friend wants to use Razer Comms but my question is, does it impact PC performance noticeably more than skype? All info on it is appreciated!

Sometimes skype can be an fps killer on lower end systems.

Razer Comms is the better option but very few people actively use it, I would just use Teamspeak.

Unless you're running a Pentium 4, how would any of these affect performance?

Well Razer software usually runs at startup and good put a damper on your boot speeds

[ForsakenLive]

Skype is the worst thing ever. And Comms wants to reset your PC every time it has a chance...

I'm happy with my TeamSpeak, Raidcall if you are poor

You can change it to where it won't auto-start on boot.

But I prefer Teamspeak. I'd use Razer Comms but it's a bit buggy for me.

Id rather use Mumble for low latency especially if you play alot of games that require that fast time

It's not like you can't disable it....

I never liked teamspeak, but then again i never was into the whole "hardcore voice call gaming" scene... I use Skype everyday for all purpose. I'm not saying it is the best of them, it has waaay to many flaws (!!! <_< ) but it is user friendly and good for everyday casual chat and casual online gaming.

 

Perfomance wise...

Exactly my thoughts and my experience, since im on a pentium 4 atm

Skype cause my friends are too lazy to change.

I prefer Razer comms because I think it has better audio quality.

[Almercenary]

comms, skype seems to stuff up every time I use it

[TheProfosist]

Anything but skype? Im partial to mumble, partially because thats what I have setup and its opensource.

[TheProfosist]

It impacts performance less than skype. People really meed to realize that skype is in no way meant for voice chat in games at all.

Steam .

Steam chat really doesnt work that great a is a bear to setup creating a group and all.

I find it easy, I already have my friends and there are a heap of groups that are already around. You can just join one, make a few friends from there and just have a group chat. I like Steam over anything else at it enables me to talk to my friends, buy games at low as prices and store them.

Well II like steam, just not for chat.

[dylandylandylan]

Skype for video, teamspeak for .. err... speak

Steam for me is what I want, it allows me to store and buy games and talk to my friends, if i don't ant to play games though I can still talk to them while I'm here.
