What differentiates a high-end PC from "next gen" (i.e. PS5/XSX). It has ray tracing, it has >3700 performance, it has 16 TF of performance, etc.

PC gaming is literally unstoppable like Thanos now. I'm expecting nintendo games (outside of emulators ofc :messenger_smirking: ) this decade, at this point it's inevitable.
You forgot to include the obligatory "NINTENDO IS DOOMED!" :p
Besides that, nah, never going to happen, they'll die before they publish their exclusives on PC.
 
Yeah... optional. Keep telling yourself that. There are plenty of games releasing on consoles with content missing from the disc. There are even some that won't work at all. Anyone remember CoD WW2 locking the single player campaign behind a patch? The disc version of No Man's Sky releasing in such an unfinished state that the devs were begging people not to play or review it? Forza 5 releasing with cars and tracks missing from the disc all the way back in 2013?

Games are getting bigger and bigger, and disc capacity isn't keeping up. Somehow I doubt Sony and MS will go back to multi-disc releases, so this shit will only get worse next gen. Consoles are gonna end up exactly where PC is now. It's inevitable. You might still get your "physical release" in the form of a case with fancy cover art, but chances are there's gonna be a download code inside instead of a disc.

Again, strawman. Still all irrelevant to what I posted. You can still trade, sell, lend and have more control as a consumer with physical media. Patches have no impact on any of this.

There is no PS4/Xbox/Switch "offline mode" that you have to sign into like Steam. Once you update (if you choose to), you can keep it offline forever and publishers have no control over the content you purchase, unlike in PC gaming.

With pc, I can move my games to a different ssd, hdd, thumb drive, etc. I can back up my data, and freely do as I please with it. The same goes for a console disc, but can be easily scratched or damaged. I can take my drive or thumb drive over to a buddies house and play the game, the same way I could at home. Steam doesn't go around and delete your files and games, even if there game is obsolete and unsupported.

In essence, digital media can be much better than physical media.
 
PC gaming has widescreen + HD mode 7 SNES backward compatibility!
PC gaming has much more games that just aren't on consoles, it can even play most games from pretty much all consoles and arcade that ever existed + most consoles games
PC gaming has mods
PC gaming let you upgrade at your will
PC gaming is not attached to a closed off store

PC gaming has drivers and Windows updates too!

Why can't PCMR leave the console players alone? Always this "PC this, PC that"... Always want to convince us and they cannot understand that there people (a lot of) who don't want the bullshit that comes with PC gaming and just want to enjoy games in their best possible way without playing on PC. You don't get this from console players but everyday there are topics made by PCMR types that question console players and try to convince them that PC is better. Why do you feel the need to do this? Just enjoy your precious PC and leave console gamers alone. Maybe you are trying to convince yourself in reality?
The worst thing is that they continue to think that console gamers think consoles are somehow better than PC's. What they don't understand s that it is a personal choice whether it be better value, preferred setup and or without so many custom options etc. They just don't get it. I have a good gaming PC and I still prefer to play my consoles because as you said, there is so much bullshit and tweaking involved and I hate that side of it.

I can't wait to see how much it will cost to buy/build a PC that will put out the same performance as the next gen console. I guarantee it will be a lot more than $500.

Yes it will be, but again, we don't care.

Edit:

Speaking for myself and I assume some PC gamers, we don't make a PC with cost of console in mind. We make it because we love to have control over our graphics settings, our framerate, heck seeing out frame rate. We prefer the precision of KB&M over a thumbstick. We love mods, infinite backward comparability. Cost of a console compare to what I get isn't even a thought in my mind.

Also I love being able to turn off fucking chromatic aberration and motion blur.

What kind of tinkering do you do? You seem to be the guardian of consoles, and I want to know some answers. So please let us in on this tinkering you have to do, that 98% of players, don't experience?

Also, do you expect top of the line graphics and framerate, with only spending $600 bones?

85 bucks cpu
50 bucks memory
45 bucks motherboard
70 bucks ssd
25 bucks power supply
20 bucks case
windows is free
5 buck keyboard
5 bucks mouse
Any 200 buck gpu and u are set when next line of gpu's come out.

That's about 500 bucks, u probably can cut some corners on ssd or whats not.

Honestly PC gaming is dirt cheap.

We don't pay for online gaming on PC...:goog_unsure:
A high-end pc will play games in hd 5+ years from now and you can upgrade it.

It's a choice obviously but better graphics and performance has a price.

Yeah, exactly. It's like they constantly have this feeling at the back of their minds that they need the validation for spending a lot of money on their rigs. Also yeah, to get the graphics quality of nextgen consoles (and I hope all PCMR types understand that I said graphics quality and not hardware power) they will need a lot more than $500...

You seriously think those parts for those prices are going to match the performance of the Series X or PS5 which most games don't forget are optimised for console. Good luck getting Native 4K 60-90fps out of that which is what they are easily going to do.. Stop spouting crap! Give me the specific specs of those parts so I can discount what you are saying. I used to build PC's. I have a gaming PC.. you are talking smack! I'm not some console only gamer you can fool buddy,

Honestly, yea you probably will get a console level of performance out of that, unless MS decides to subsidize their system out the asshole.

When you mention 4K/60fps, I have to ask “what at 4K/60fps”. We don’t know what the new consoles will do at that fidelity/frame rate and we don’t know what the next round of GPUs will do either. But as someone up the thread said, I don’t think many people go into PC looking to replicate console, because what’s the point. If you want a console just get a console. You go into PC to get a better experience than console.

Yes better than current gen performance of course but next gen performance at that price... Sorry, No.

And here lies the argument.. Getting a PC to get a better experience than console regarding performance is a lot more expensive, at least it will be with next gen. We already had information of a developer showing a proper AAA game running on both next gen consoles at a smooth Native 4K 90fps. We are not talking indie games but a proper AAA title. I can't wait for PC people to eat crow when this becomes reality because I'm sick of hearing that the next gen console still won't be up to snuff. And as far as next round GPU's, why is that even a discussion?

Majority of PC Gamers worldwide cannot afford the new GPU's. Majority of PC Gamers now are gaming on 1080p monitors with 1080 GPU performance or less. You PC Gaffers seem to forget that in the real world, most PC Gamers can't afford that so they are not gaming at better than next gen console levels in majority of cases and won't be.

Again this is not to say consoles are the be all and end all, of course a PC rig is overall better but in some cases, a next gen console will be a much better value choice when budget is tight and in a lot of situations better than a lot of current PC Gaming rigs out there.

U should have said 8k and 120fps mate u starting to slack a bit.
Anyway i will bite.

CPU:
Multiple cores are probably locked like with the PS4 for security reasons and background tasks which means 8 core will really just be a 6 core.
Clocks are probably reduced drastically to push more GPU clocks forwards which is more important at the end of the day in those boxes as they focus on 4k. 4x performance increase over a 350 scoring cinebench cpu = a 1600af stock which is 85 bucks, sounds about right.

Memory:
Any 16gb of ddr4 will do at 3000+mhz

SSD:
Any 1-2gb's ssd will do at 512-1tb depends on what quality brand u wanna go for. Honestly they ain't much costing. If you want however quality ones u will have to pay more. but its not like sony/microsoft aren't going to the most cheap chinese knockoff while they are at it. Also highly unlikely they going for much more then that range as they can and will cut costs on it or push more space instead of performance, hard drive quality was never there focus. What a chip supports for future revisions doesn't say anything really.

Motherboard:
Any trash cheapo motherboard will do, zero reason to invest money into this ryzen is already so long on the market really. and consoles and motherboard quality yea lul. Cheapest plate they can bake. Hell even that cheap motherboard will probably have more possibilities then those consoles on top of it.

Other stuff:
U can buy whatever trash case or not even a case at all. Put it on a wooden plank all i care for. Or buy whatever trash case, mouse keyboard, cheapest shit do the job perfectly fine. No need to buy anything special. All my keyboards i use for my high end and other PC's are 5 buck keyboards as example. Windows is also free, no need to license it. Can't change your background tho, big deal i guess.

Then GPU department.

PC resolution, nobody cares about 4k PPI density of 1080p on 22 inch is about as high as a 45 inch 4k television up that inch and boom there goes your crispiness vs 1080p on pc. 4k is a waste of performance. It's only benched to see potential of the GPU with CPU bottleneck basically.

Here's a example of a game that's incredible AMD biased.

10-751x1024.png


12-751x1024.png



5700xt 4k = 55 fps
5700xt 1080p = 139 fps

4k murders framerate add raytracing with it and have a good laugh.

1.png


Now lets assume the PS5 = 12 tfops that's probably something like 70 fps at best which equals a 1080p 1650 super at 72 fps, recently bought one for about 170 bucks i believe?

Dam u actually save some cash. But the only weakness of that GPU is 4gb of v-ram, so just wait on the next gpu line from nvidia which is about to launch or get the amd equalivant as those consoles are not out yet anyway and even then 4000 series CPU will probably also get a bump in performance on PC. Still that's already 20gb of total ram dayum.

So yea you are right, PC is actually even cheaper. Good that u pointed that out.

And that box will be highly upgradable. Consoles upgradable? whats that.

All of this post is speculation until we actually see hardware. Both on console and PC. I don't care about some dev PR tweets It's just people hyping up their shit. You're comparing the actual PC hardware market that exists today (complete with 18 month old GPUs) to the magic console you've designed in your head. Just wait.

Yes, I do think PC hardware will be that affordable by the time the systems launch. It happens time and time again. Especially now that the consoles use modified versions of PC parts. It makes sense for companies like AMD to put out capable hardware at affordable prices.

We have an idea of where XSX will land for GPU, but we don't know the whole story. PS5 we know even less. The -60 series has historically roughly equaled the -80 series from the previous gen(980 to 1060, 1080 to 2060). If the "3060" hold it's price at $350 like the 2060 launch price, that's likely to be the bare minimum for a XSX type experience. My personal estimate for a decent, complete build that matches XSX would be $700-800. PC doesn't have online fees, but it will still be more expensive for a complete build during launch year.

Anecdotal, but relevant: if you already have a suitable PC, you won't be paying $700-800. Maybe just need a GPU upgrade, and after selling your GPU maybe a week or 2 prior to new cards launching, you might have out-of-pocket costs of ~$200 to beat the XSX.

I personally plan on selling my GPU and upgrading right before new GPUs launch and hopefully buying a Xbox Lockhart at launch, if the option is available. Hopefully Sony will have most of their 1st-party on PSNow and I know Game Pass PC will have Xbox 1st-party. That's a good setup for me, personally. I use my PC quite a bit for non-gaming purposes. To each their own, of course.

People do care about resolution. People gaming on a 65+ inch 4K OLED HDR TV will tell you otherwise. 1080p is not the same at all. That's just your opinion because you don't care for it.

You also disregard optimisation for AAA games developed on console into your performance equation. All your info is speculation because you also don't know besides the tflops what the performance of next gen consoles are capable of.

PS5 12tflops = 70fps at best...? LOL

Think what you want, you can't get a PC better than next gen performance for $500 or under (Even when the next gen console is launched)... You're ridiculous!

I recently built a PC with a 3900x, 2070 Super, NVME SSD, Several Sata SSDs, and 32 GB of DDR4 Ram. Based on the Series X projected specs, the only thing I have to upgrade to remain ahead of Next Gen Consoles

is my GPU. I plan on upgrading that in 2021 or so. That being said, so far, I've yet to play one good fully released game on PC that justify these specs. Essentially I spent $2.5k to play console ports at a higher

framerate and resolution. Control was the game that came closest to justifying these specs but it's boring af. Metro Exodus is boring af and I played that via gamepass. Maybe when star citizen fully launches

then it might be the first good game to take advantage of these specs but then again, it'll just go to PS5/Series X.




I wish devs would build games to really take advantage of PC's like back in the 90s and early 00s. Now it's about keeping a similar experience between platforms. $ for $, pc is a worse value proposition EOS.

People rave about steam sales but they're trash in comparison to PSN sales. Back in the 2010's, steam sales where the shit. Now everybody and their grandmother wants to open their own damn store. I'd

understand if you gamed solely on Nintendo or Xbox consoles, you might think steam sales were good but PSN sales cannot be touched. The frequency of big budget games on sales is actually unbelievable.

On this topic, I speak from experience as I had a PS4 Pro(got rid of it and I regret it), had a switch(got rid of it because Nintendo was trying to sell me 3 year old games for full price), have an Xbox One X(boring af).

About your screen understanding issues, try to reread what i wrote ain't repeating sorry.

Optimisations for consoles isn't a thing anymore mate ( there is no free performance there are just downgrades. ). If it was every game would be running on those base consoles at a perfect 1080p with a rock solid 30fps at minimum. Yet even day 1 games struggled to run anything stable. That never changed even control dips to low 10's, ac odyssey dips to 10's and i can go on for a while.

DX12/vulkan practically are low level api's right now that pretty much make console optimisation a thing of the past, it already was to be honest. Coding to the metal is also something that u will not see anymore. It was the biggest mistake sony allowed and with future digital titles and BC api's will have to run on the background which could even make it so far that it runs worse than comparable PC hardware. As we all know sony locks hardware away from being used while with PC that's not the case. Like half the memory and cpu cores.

So yea gg with that.

PS5 12 tflops = 70fps? do you even read or you just trolling at this point?

Also i just told you how under 500 bucks today u got a PC that will last you all the way until PS6 if console specs are what they announced. Hell u can upgrade that box to the end of the earth on your way through that gen for barely any money if you want something more.

I'm not sure what are you arguing? That 2080ti cannot render even stable 60 fps in BFV @4k?😅

I mean u can just read what i say, it's not that hard man. U can do it.

What needs to be tweaked? Have you used a gaming pc before?
You know very well, but as I know you want me to say it, the graphics settings. I'm a perfectionist and have OCD so having so many options is my worst nightmare. I spend more time tweaking those than playing the game.

Why the need to tweak it though? Are you in the year of 2010? Do you not play games that actually auto configure your settings based on hardware and resolution? Or are you just bullshitting as usual? You know it's extremely easy to spot a console gamer that pretends to play on pc right? People who mention graphics options, bios, driver issues, windows updates, etc, are completely full of shit.

Mid tier PC, playing in 1440p. trying to squeeze those extra frames. I don't really use my PC for gaming anymore as I've stated many times.. I stick to my X and Pro. I rather lay on my couch on my big screen 4K TV. Not really able to have my PC setup there either as my PC is also in my office as I use it for work. PC's are a pain to me. Just like someone who drives an Auto because they can't be bothered changing gears in a Manual. I don't know why it's so hard for PC Gamers to grasp the alternative choice.

85 bucks cpu
50 bucks memory
45 bucks motherboard
70 bucks ssd
25 bucks power supply
20 bucks case
windows is free
5 buck keyboard
5 bucks mouse
Any 200 buck gpu and u are set when next line of gpu's come out.

That's about 500 bucks, u probably can cut some corners on ssd or whats not.

Honestly PC gaming is dirt cheap.
The bold is a load of trash. We know at worst, next gen consoles will be equivalent to the 5700xt and 3700x which tosses your GPU and CPU estimates in the trash where they belong. With regards to your SSD figure, I've yet to see 1TB NVME drives at that price so again, in the trash. In fact, just take your whole list of terrible estimates and toss it in the trash where it belongs.

Awww man, not the "id rather sit on my couch and play" excuse. You realize the same way you hook up your Xbox or ps4...? Works the same for pc? Regardless of the room it is in. But I get it. You play in console, and not on pc. Could have just said that instead of trying to make people believe you actually play on pc. I get it

At worst?! You definitely won't see 3xxx performance on a console lololol. What makes you think Sony and MS will bleed money for console users? There's a reason why there are super cars, and why there are consumer cars. Consoles are the consumer cars, pc's are the super cars. STAY IN YOUR LANE bro.

try playing any of the X-Wing or Tie Fighter games using a modern controller, keyboard + mouse, or anything that is not a joystick. it is impossible. you would think they would just map the joystick to an analog stick on your controller. yeah. that would be nice. NOPE!

i bought Tie Fighter twice recently hoping to dive back in and was unable to play it both times. fucking ridiculous. if people were unable to play Super Metroid or Final Fantasy VI (both released the same year) on modern controllers, they would lose their shit.
You didn't think to mod it so you could get the gamepad working?

I've always somewhat played on PC and always had a gaming PC and still occasionally will play, like I'm waiting for the C&C Remasters in June. Can't wait for that shit! Obviously PC is the only place to play Strategy games like that.

At launch, Consoles are gonna be much much more powerful than your mainstream PC builds.
and 2 years later they will be outmatched easily. That's what differentiates them.

as bad as Danny Zuko in gym knickers
Optimisation on console is usually just ultra-low to medium graphics settings.

Whatever Lavar Ball. We already know that the Series X is using Zen 2 8 core(3700x) at 3.5 ghz. The CPU is lower clocked than the real 3700x but it doesn't matter because the OS on console is light weight. Furthermore, there are no computationally intensive background process. The new gen consoles are going to render all 4 core and 6 core(no hyperthreading) as useless. The base requirements are going up by a lot. Your list is a bunch of woeful estimates that exposes your lack of knowledge on the subject matter. Like I said, your estimates are garbage tier.

Your estimates are shit tier if you think you are getting over $1000 of hardware, for less than $600. You do know the power requirements of a 3700x, right? Or are you just as uneducated in pc parts and performance, as well as requirements for ample cooling. Guess you didn't think that far ahead, before you began talking out of your ass. Get a clue, and come back with an intelligent response next time.
