that's on ultra.

you can lower it to console quality and get like 300fps.

That benchmarks says you can run it fine with a 250 dollar card, a r9 290

Wtf am I looking at

Consoles run games on dogshit quality with low fps, so yeah ofcourse they are also cheap as shit

you pay for all of the hardware, but then you dont have to pay for the games on PC once, or twice when you need to upgrade PC

Op this benchmark literally says that AMD destroys nvidia in the DOOM alpha build. That's all it says.

A benchmark made in alpha build of the game. It isnt that uncommon for those to work worse in multi GPU solutions than a single card.
The thread is clearly bait

Fucking this. I've been saying it for years that spending five times as much on what you use to play videogames does not mean you have five times as much fun, but the assblasted /r9k/-tier NEETS always allude to some mysterious PC build that's supposedly comparably priced and performant to a console, even though they never actually post it.
>>
>>53524703

If that shit is running at 60 on consoles there's no way there's not a set of options that my old i7 920 and 760 are gonna be able to run.

Just drop the Ssao, DOF, and AA quality.

I usually get settings just a bit higher that the consoles.

I think its the best, Intel CPUs are spyware and I prefer green

I hope so

either go full amd or intel-nvidia, (even intel-amd is tolerable) never go full retard with amd-nvidia
>>
>>53524903
It will work, this was just an alpha benchmark. It would be suicide for any company to release a game in that state

you beta faggot
>>
>>53524982
you can use pcpartpicker.com and set your limit on how much you want to spend. With consoles, is MSRP or temporary discount. Te console makers get your money soon after as you have to pay 59.99 for most games + tax
>>
>>53525036
Except that's wrong. Used games. They don't exist for PC and the average console owner spends less on games too than your average PC owner and their steam sales. I haven't spent more than $10 on a game in ages.
>>
>>53524877
Pfff im not having as much fun as a 5 year old paying with sticky but playing on my rig is definitely better than console. It's only cheaper if you pirate games.
>>
>>53525065
I guess you haven't heard of ebay. or pirating games. show me a statistic from an authoritative source that console owners spend less and I will consider your point.
>>
>>53524903

Or gray market sites like G2A

>>53525134
I was suprised, but my pentium and 750 not even ti edition can play gta v 30 avg on medium settings. at 1024 x1280
>>
>>53525065
Same here, I probably buy one new AAA-game a year and a couple of older titles. The new game is like 60 bucks but its resale value is usually somewhere close to 30 after six months. The older titles are like 15-35 and in most cases you can sell it back for the same price. On top of ~50 bucks for games, I pay for the yearly golden chains program (~30 bucks) and it gets me around 5 games a year so I'm okay with it.
>>
>>53524748
I run JC3 at it's lowest settings at 1080p, and I still get framerate drops. I've seen the game running on xbone and it runs better than in my pc.

What the fuck.
>>
>>53524703
>it's cheaper than consoles in the long run!
I hope you never really believed that. PCs are way more expensive.

>future proofing
I see that expression here sometimes and I hope they realize how stupid it is. When the GTX 970 first came out, people said they'd buy it to "future proof" their PCs. Now they realize that the 970 was for current gen titles, and if you want next gen titles you'll need to spend another $400-600.

CPUs have been lasting awhile, only because AMD has been in a slump so Intel has no reason to improve on their flagship. Even now, they only hope for their Zen chips "to be competitive" with mid range i5s.
>>
>>53525181
Stop buying denuvo shit. It's constantly decrypting itself in the background sucking up resources.
>>
>>53524748

too bad the game is still capped to 60fps
>>
>>53525197
PC games will always be cheaper as they do not require licensing, which costs money which leads to higher price point.
and
>people said
quit generalizing
who are these people?
>>
>>53525157
>750

the 750ti is a lot better
>>
>>53524877
It's because consoles are sold at a loss and make up for it with extra controllers/memory cards/addon hardware/online subscriptions/game sales over a period of 10 years, etc.
>>
>>53524703
>Alpha
Who fucking cares.

Also ultra settings, while consoles have shit on low.

Console games are 60+ each plus monthly subscriptions while PC gaming and multiplayer is free. So yeah, initially a decent PC is a bit more but once you start donating money for software, a console gets more expensive.

Either you're a retard who has things set up badly or your PC is the ultimate poorfag build, because a 750 Ti paired with an i3 runs JC3 better than the Xbone.

Doesn't jc3 love multicores though? I saw improvements going from 4 to 6+6ht. I wouldn'tbe suprised if an i3 struggles in it.

PC GPU/CPU holds the same horse power that it was released. What happen is that software standard creep up over time, so older hardware loses compatibility or software becomes more demanding then year before that. The thing is that modify conf file, or computers run on low end hardware or ancient hardware.

GTX 8800 is over 9 year old but it can still run games at 1080p or 900p, which the PS3 couldn't possibly do even with optimization.

Xbone runs at 900p in JC3.
