What is the point of own a console right now?
R9 480 is point to point with PS4 Neo Performance.
PS4 Neo is just 4 tflops while R9 480 is just 1 tflop better. The difference is point to point with PS4 Neo in performance, that means that 60% of extra performance by optimization is now less than 25% due to down level API available now for PC too.
Every time pc is getting better performance in time while consoles are losing performance.
>>
Why even play video games if performance is so important? Just watch stress tests at 4k resolution over and over, there is literally no point in playing video games when you can max your hardware with benchmark tests.

I literally look down on a filthy pesant who insists to push the idea that he can actually ''''''''''enjoy''''''''''' video games on such dated hardware which I can run better. What a fucking moron.

What's the point of having a powerful machine when your exclusives look like this?

For a fraction of the cost of a powerful PC I get to play every multiplat and exclusives that are much better than anything on PC:

Cost of powerful PC: $1500
Cost of PS4: $350

Now in a generation of consoles PC users usually upgrade at least once to be able to keep up with better graphics, while consoles don't have to because games are better optimised. On the other hand you have to pay for online:

PC upgrade: $250
6 years (average generation length) online: $300

Total costs in a gen:
PC: $1750
PS4: $650

So you pay a full $1000 more than me simply for games that look a bit better and run in 30 fps more, while playing worse games.

My fucking sides.

Nice evidence to the contrary friend, you sure showed me.
>>
>>342767724

My 7850 can still run games like Overwatch and Fallout

Whats the point of spending 1k dollarinos on a machine that can only claim Indie games as exclusives?

PC gaming blows cock. For the price of a GTX 2000 with 9000 niggaflops I could just buy a console that's just as good for way cheaper.

Really makes you think huh....
>>
>>342771780
m8, a PC that stomps the current consoles into the dust and could easily go toe-to-toe with the Neo costs around $800.
Hell, my current build can play a lot of games at 1440p60 that the current consoles can't even run at 1080p60 and I got it for ~$800 in 2014.

>>342767724

>What is the point of own a console right now?

To play console exclusives.
>>
>>342772192
This, it's why I think anyone that says you should pay $1000 for a good PC is either lazy, stupid or trying to troll poorly. If you can buy a launch day Ps3 for $600 then you can build a good computer for that much.
>>
>>342767724
Pop in and play.

They don't exactly call PC gamers the "Master Race" because any Joe Blow would have the patience, know-how, and funds to buy or build a PC surpassing consoles, do they?
>>
>>342772192
If I wanted to go toe to toe with the Neo I'd just get the Neo since it has exclusives. I'm talking a PC much better than a Neo.
>>
>>342774054
A PC much better than the Neo would also be $800, possibly much less with the release of the RX 480.
>>
Console exclusives. Which are both not common and not good enough for me to put down $300 on a console. Maybe around the end of this gen I will get a PS4 for some JRPGs that aren't on PC.

Not that I think consoles are bad or anything, but that image is silly in more ways than one.

I'm still waiting.
Seems like 4/5 times console exclusives either end up coming to PC and/or being shit.
>>
>>342767724
If you are into gaming there is literally no reason not to have a pc. Best multiplats, open ecosystem, and indies if you're into that.

That said, there's also no reason to not own a console as well for exclusives, and so you can play with your normie friends that don't know what pc gaming is.

Only poorfags advocate one or the other.

Bullshit lmao, they are optimized for console and are only better with raw horse powerful which translates to a $300+ GPU

Is this a good PC to play most games at 1080p 60FPS?

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/7gZccc

It's going to cost me $1022 after tax and shipping.

Yes. You'll have to drop a few settings to high/med with a 960 on demanding games like Witcher 3 or tomb raider though. But that's still better than a console.

Also any reason you're not getting an ssd?

>You'll have to drop a few settings to high/med with a 960 on demanding games like Witcher 3 or tomb raider though.

I don't think I'll use the PC for big releases that often. Even if I did, that would be fine with me. I'm planning on using it for photoshop too.

>Also any reason you're not getting an ssd?

Budget. $1000 is as high as I can go. I'll get one eventually.

Why does everyone ignore the fact that PCs can do more than gaming? I even play my guitar through it. Jeeessus

I wouldn't pay 350 for a dedicated gaming machine to play most of that garbage either.
