It's a game designed for 6 year old consoles. Therefore running it well is not going to be at all difficult, as the minimum specs make clear.

CPU: i5 2500k - came out nearly 9 years ago
GPU: GTX770 - came out 6 and a half years ago

If you have a 4670k and a GTX970 from five years ago it'll cruise this game.

Clowns yesterday: God of war is the best looking game ever! Nothing on PC beats it at all! 1080p and 30FPS!

Today: Native 4K RDR2 with way higher than than Xbox One X quality settings at double the framerate

Me: lulz at clowns.

Seriously 60FPS alone will transform this game. It felt so slow and controls so unresponsive on 30FPS consoles. Halving the response time or possibly even better will make everything look and feel so much snappie...

SamPao hahahaha oh you crack me up:

Person who has never seen what a high end PC can do:

God Of War is the best looking game evaaah!

Every PC gamer ever: No. It aint lol

Trust me, you know nothing SamPao. 1080p 30FPS console games are immediately on another tier when they run 1440p and 120FPS, or 4K and 60FPS. Not to mention the additional quality level of effects and textures, in person the difference is just huge. ...

Jump through lots of hoops and spend hours per month to earn $15 of rewards. Wow.

Or just do another half an hour per month in your crappy paid dead end job for the same amount. 10 minutes for those not in entirely crappy jobs.

My time is worth a lot more than hours of effort to get $15.

Lots of factors. Lots and lots. Cost of the hardware was steep for Sega so they lost a lot on it, and didn't recoup enough on software sales.

This could partly be attributed to the fact you could run copied games incredibly easily once pirates had learned how to defeat the simple software measure that had been put in place. Other machines needed a mod chip, the Dreamcast would just run the correctly packed titles off cheap CD ROMs.

If you were really ...

PC version looks fine considering it's nearly 8 years old.

A lot better than the console version, way way better. Runs very well. A potato PC can do 1080/60FPS. Xbox 360 only managed 960 x 540 (barely half 720p!) and a shonky 25FPS.....

It's the only version I would bother with right now.

PC doesn't replace PlayStation, it replaces Xbox.

Microsoft's games are all ending up on PC, you're better off with a PS4 and a Pc right now to get the best versions of any games on those systems.

It'll only be the same for next console gen.

Hardly need much of a PC to beat base Xbox One hardware, a dismal one will do. One that was considered mid range 6 years ago (before Xbox One launched!!!!) would comfortably do that. i5 3570k (launched over 7 years ago) Nvidia GTX760/Radeon R9 280X circa mid 2013. Job done.

You can have a 6 year old PC doing better on this game than the great majority of Xbox One owners playing it!

To match Xbox One X you need something considered good, but there are sti...

PC is the best platform for China because it is much harder to regulate than consoles which can just be banned or forced out fairly easily.

PC will dominate there for decades to come, there is far more PC gamers worldwide than all current gen console gamers combined. It's by far the largest and most lucrative platform. The future is very very bright for PC.

If the question is which is the best version the answer is always PC.

The rest it hardly matters

I have a lot of experience analysing the industry, following road maps and design evolution of various semi conductor companies. Also, I can read. The article I linked to alone tells you a great deal of what AMD can and cannot do with the current state of their graphics division.

If you cared to read it you would accept that new consoles are not going to be nearly fast en...

Rumours and they seem likely that Nintendo will revise Switch hardware this year. As in make a kind of 'Pro' model with more power than the original, and a new original cheaper base model.

There is plenty of history for this, all the DS and 3DS revisions made, and the mid cycle hardware refreshes of the other consoles.

Potentially a 'Pro' Switch model could be virtually as fast as an original Xbox One. We have now reached a manufacturing p...

New consoles won't be fast enough. AMD Navi 10 that the consoles are based around won't be nearly fast enough. https://wccftech.com/amds-d...

You're looking at best double the performance of Xbox One X for a next gen console in say the next 12 months. Vega 56 speed or so. This is best case scenario at ...

If Navi 10 is weak and disappointing then new consoles based on that design will similarly be underwhelming hardware wise. I warned about this for a while.

AMD's graphics division is so far behind Nvidia it's such a bad time to build new consoles when they are so uncompetitive. If new consoles arrive in 2020 it is likely their GPUs will basically be lower mid end to what is available on PC at that point.

No hardware ray tracing, limited DXR suppor...

More like Vega 56 performance, much slower than 1080Ti which is ok but by the time these machines launch in 2020 Vega 56 level will be a lower mid range GPU.

Also Apocalypse nice appeal to console gamers telling themselves that.

But truth is we all know Metro Exodus for example with all the features turned out VASTLY outstrips what any console can do, and looks WAY better than the Xbox One X version which isn't even native 4K.

Let a...

No.

The memory configuration alone is comical. 20GB of GDDR6 would be >$200 wholesale. For that memory. Nothing else.

880GB/s memory bandwidth would mean very high clocked GDDR6, allied to a memory bus wider than that on the current Nvidia Titan RTX. Not the RTX2080Ti, the card ABOVE that- hyper expensive Titan! That card 'only' has a 384bit memory bus with fast GDDR6 resulting in 672GB/s of bandwidth.

The memory specs alone ...

You can't buy a console that does what a PC does. PC has a higher initial cost, but a lower running cost. It isn't more expensive in the long run.

Who buys a car and doesn't consider how much it costs to fuel, insure, tax, maintain, depreciates? Cheaper to buy outright isn't always cheaper than a better more expensive car over the life of use.

PC games are cheaper (usually at least $10), online is usually free. That's a couple hundred ...
