It usually takes PC's 4 years to catch up with Xbox consoles in terms of power.

2 years. in terms of pricing to power. if that's what you mean.
in terms of raw horse power, there are pc gamers with 2 and 3 GPUs linked up.

@ Tech5

that's only if they aim for latest and greatest hardware.
if they aim for mid range spec it will be far less than that.

It's not native 4k from start to finish though, it goes up and down depending on the section.

I hope it looks good but I think the difference will be felt just like the feeling of booting up gears 1 on my new 360 back in the day and saying wow this is something special

I'm glad they didn't.

It's got the visuals and the frames and I haven't noticed any performance issues during game play.

Tlou2 is going to look better, but Ofcourse it will, all the graphically focused games that Sony has shown are set at 30 fps which takes way less resources.

Gears 5 on console has set the bar for framerate and graphics.

I have no doubt TLOU 2 will look better overall, but what the Coalition have managed to do here with Gears 5 is remarkable. Great frames and great graphics - not Naughty Dog level graphics but still great.

Remember they has to span the weakest original X1 hardware to the most modern gaming PC's and they did a fantastic job the game plays great even on original hardware I'm actually taking the time to play it on both and switching back and forth myself

Fps does drop as does native 4k. Only gotta watch DF.

I'm sure there's the drop here and there, but it's not something I've distinctly felt playing the game yet. I'm still in Act I.

Game isn't in native 4k. FAR from it. VGTech video :

Xbox One X uses a dynamic resolution with the lowest native resolution found being 1920x1080 and the highest native resolution found being approximately 3200x1800. A form of temporal reconstruction is used that can increase the pixel count to 3840x2160 and pixel counts at 3840x2160 are common due to this temporal reconstruction. The native resolution is higher for the 30fps real time cutscenes on Xbox One X with the lowest and highest native resolutions found during them being approximately 2773x1560 and 3840x2160 respectively.

Dropping to 1080p....interesting.

Btw. John Linneman admitted that he was wrong on resolution count on resetera.

I hope to certify on the new consoles games must have options for locked 4k60, 1080/120, 1440@60/120, 8k30. No 30fps at 4K and below.

Also frame rate that stays locked would be required but I guess now with VRR on Xbox and next gen consoles that might be used instead.

It's pretty much confirmed that PS5 is gonna be 1070/2060 or so perf.. I doubt it will = a 2070. Next gen Nvidia 3000 series next year and I bet the lower end 3060 will give better perf than the PS5 overall.

You will be surprised, it’s going to be 2080 at the least. That card was released over 2 years earlier than ps5. Will be old tech by then and about right to use in a console.

I’d like the next gen to have both hdmi and DisplayPort with digital audio out via optical. I exclusively game on pc monitors so dp output would be welcome.

You're still asking for a lot from a box that normally comes in at half, or less, for performance in question. Let alone for an entire generation. I'll revise my wording to "console players", if that at all works better for you.
And I've seen you talk PC on here prior, sooooo … no. Not really. *shrug*
