That price is super lol worthy, especially considering the outdated CPU.
Yeah, if it's even just half way decently optimised it would run far better on a high spec machine
Plus you can import cheap Zen 4 7000 series CPUs (if going AMD) since Zen 5 was a flop, they will be noticeably more powerful than the consoles. And the new Windows 11 update fetches pretty nice increases if you check Hardware Unboxed on YT.
That comment will set some people off, but yes I expect it to be pretty CPU limited in certain games even with a decent GPU upgrade. It's just going to be kinda lopsided by having a just ok CPU that wasn't even the strongest for gaming by 2019 Zen 2 standards.
They can't grasp GPU tiers, besides, shoving everything on max settings is not the correct way to get better than console performance on recent demanding games.
I'm obviously not smart enough for this conversation. There's your answer guys, PS5 Pro is all you'll ever need hardware wise, as long as you have DLSS you won't ever need a PS6 or 7.
@Einhander So you're gonna believe marketing over people who know what they're doing?
If you want to see real liars go and look at AMD, they've blatantly lied over processor performance at least 2-3 times, showing Zen 3 better than Raptor Lake, and now even charts showing false nonsense performance with Zen 5, which turned out to be a total flop since you can pick up Zen 4 chips from Aliexpress dirt cheap for the same performance and efficiency.
@Einhander "Every time I say the same crap" and then you go on to say that Digital Foundry spread misinformation, LMAO. I've heard them called Intel shills when they used to show Intel processors running games better than early Zen chips (which they did) but that's a new one on me.
Whatever helps you sleep at night though.
"best hardware to play it on" Until it releases on PC with much higher frame rates, detail & draw distance, but it'll be good for a double dip for those that won't want to wait.
The issue is that the game will be running on what will be pretty much a 6 year old CPU by the time the game comes out.
Since the 4090 came out, pretty much. 3080 is more powerful too except for the lack of vram. PS5 is still decent but you'll notice bigger differences soon, especially with next gen GPUs just around the corner.
Kind of expecting RTX remix for this
I made this suggestion before and pretty sure I got down voted for it, but yeah It's a good idea to boost speeds while docked.
Lmao classic PC hating comment, you probably expect a cheap low end GPU to perform amazingly well. Blame Nvidia & AMD for having silly high prices, it wasn't always that way.
Besides if you go upper midrange/high end they far exceeded console in frames per second and have better image quality anyways.
They're still making sequels to films like Gladiator...
It's because they took so long to release any well known game with it, the leaked screens of the L4D2 Plantation look a hell of a lot better than Source 1, this was leaked 10 years ago http://files.gamebanana.com...
TBF Valve did upgrade the original Source in HL2 as there were multiple versions, and then I think Portal 2 looked better again, I don't know how muc...
I hope they push the graphics and Source 2 gets updated, don't get me wrong, Alyx still looks good but you didn't need anywhere near a top PC to run it when it came out given the system specs. Valve has usually always been known to bring pretty much top tier graphics/physics in their games, so I hope for fairly beefy system requirements, I don't mean to the point that it will have big frame dips, just that it runs well and looks great given you run it on more recent modern upper e...
Yeah kind of agree but it depends on the game as well, even ones that are labelled (and made) to be super replayable often lack enough content & variety, and you also learn the pattern of the AI so you eventually get bored of it anyway.
If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.
I mean you can get a cheap 8 core Zen 4 CPU for below £200 imported.. What were they thinking with this pricing for a console running Zen 2 and aimed at budget focused (console) gamers?
