I know that digital foundry compared their budget pc with the one x and pro running destiny 2 and it performed better. Their budget pc is running a gtx 970 and Pentium g4560, much lower specs than expected to beat out the one x.

Isn't the "beast of beasts" equivalent to a 970/1060?
Also keep in mind, Steamspy now says that there are 280M active users on steam... the "beast of beasts" apparently sold 1M so far, that's about 0.35% of 280M which is how many 1080ti owners there are on steam. That also means that there are 42M 1060 owners on steam. The 1060 launched 1 year, 4 months ago. Food for thought.
Wait, an advertising slogan has lost it's meaning and is having a negative effect because it's been in use for 4 months?! Someone better inform these brands that their slogans are doing irreparable harm!

Here's your quote:
"Also just to add, do you know that the only GPU that has memory bandwidth almost equivalent to the 1X is a GTX 1080 at 320GB/s.
That alone should tell you how custom built the console is for efficiency."
I was just pointing out that even in 2013 there were GPUs that had bandwidth greater than 326GB/s contrary to your assertion and that modern high end cards have much more bandwidth than that despite your ...
@sirjojo
The founder's edition GTX 1080 has 320GB/s bandwidth. Most manufacturers are faster than the reference cards, for example the zotac GTX 1080 Amp Extreme+ has a bandwidth of 358GB/s.
The reference design 780ti launched a week before the original ps4. It had a bandwidth of 336.5GB/s. Again, most manufacturers ran faster than reference.
The reference Titan Xp has a bandwidth of 547.7GB/s
The reference Titan X is 480GB/s
@The_Infected
The last line in the article you provided as proof that OpenGL is faster than DX
"Updated @ 2:40: The story originally stated that the OpenGL spec is usually ahead of DirectX — but that hasn’t been true for a few years now."
Fail.
could definitely do better for that much...

In the third quarter, the most profitable and highest volume quarter btw, Sony sold 50.4 million software units. Steam sold 369.9 million software units in 2016. That figure is ONLY paid titles and that is despite the fact that steam has a return policy unlike sony.
In December 2016 alone 588 new titles released on steam and there are over 14,000 titles in the steam catalogue so it's not very surprising that only the very best games get hug...
PC gamers don't sit 10 feet from the screen, we sit 2 feet from the screen.
To put that into perspective, if you look at one edge of the 32" screen, you would have to turn your head 60 degrees to sweep your eyes across the whole screen.
If you sit 10 feet from your tv, your tv would have to be 160" before it would fill 60 degrees of your vision.
Or, put another way, you would have to sit only 4 feet from a 65" TV to g...
The Ryzen processors are showing some great results for productivity and video editing suites but, unfortunately, even the 1800x is being outperformed by intel's i5 7600k in the majority of gaming benchmarks and the i5 is half the price and is running without an overclock. If you are a gamer, I would still stick with Intel.
Uhhh... Didn't Sony walk away from Rigs? I mean, if the platform holder unplugs development and dissolves the studio that seems to me like even Sony themselves strongly disagrees with you.
But I already have a 2 year old i5/970 computer. I guess building a computer to "match" ps4 pro level graphics now is free

Actually, the cost argument has never been more false!
$400 for the OG PS4 + $400 for the PS4P + $50/yr gives an $1100 cost of ownership over 6 years.
At the launch of the OG PS4, $1100 would have bought a pc featuring an R9 290 and FX 8320, still a decent amount more powerful than the PS4P and that doesn't include the fact that games are generally cheaper on PC too.
PS4 edges out PC by 1%... if you only look at males... in the US... and pretend laptop PCs and desktop PCs are two separate groups of gamers. Informative.
@hugs
Actually, you were off by over 1100%.

Many titles link in to steam for the purpose of rights management. If you are a PC gamer, you most likely have several titles that register on steam and if you are an enthusiast, you definitely use steam. Your 20% "statistic" is purely made up, a piece of fiction made up in your own head. Besides, if the hardware survey is indeed wrong as you imply, who says it is less than that? Just as like...
Your "statistic" is ridiculous, if you look at the steam hardware survey, about 11% of Steam users have a R9 290/GTX 970 or better. In fact, 2.27% of steam users bought a 1060, 1070 or 1080 over the summer and those number are just growing. Considering Steamspy has the number of steam users pegged at 185 Million, that's a lot of potential market.
I do have to wonder, how likely is someone to buy the VR headset, camera and motion controllers for $500 when the...
Here is the Porshe 918 Spyder doing the world record run at Nurburgring. At about 7:20 he hits the straight away and gets up to top speed (210mph) for atleast 20 seconds on a track that is as far away from flat, smooth or level as can be reasonably expected from any race track. There is very little driver input, he almost looks bored in that section, as should be expected.

The old "dedicated hardware/optimization" argument is behind the times. It may have been true in years gone by but not anymore. Most of Digital Foundry's analysis articles find that an i3/750ti combo matches the consoles and with the 3 year cadence of new consoles, devs really aren't going to be spending that much time digging deep into the hardware when they know the next power bump is only a of couple years away.
Both companies are guilty of displaying specific examples that highlight their product's strengths. Remember, AMD showed crossfire RX480s matching a GTX1080 but in reality, two 8GB RX480s in crossfire offer performance that matches a GTX1070, not a GTX1080 and if you look at games like mirror's edge and talos principle, RX480s in crossfire actually perform WORSE than a single RX480.

I would really recommend the unofficial patch on nexus mods. One of the nice things about PC is support often goes on LONG after the developer is finished with the game!
