4080 is not in the same league as previous gen where 3080 used the same chip as the 3090 tho.. 4090 is like at least 20-30% faster and at times was discounted to only being not much more expensive than the 4080.
I just sold my 4090 for £1320 in prep for the next gen 5000 series, only lost less than £100 by selling now.
Yes, gamers who can't afford a decent midrange PC or higher will opt for console anyways.
PC players have a choice of better IQ & (usually) performance.
CPU is going to let it down though frame rate wise. Good GPU upgrade and tiny clock increase on a CPU that's been around since 2019. That's a pretty lop sided console.
Yeah, on top of that who wants to buy COD every year? Seriously.. any good MP game should easily be good for 2-3 years before needing a sequel if it has enough content or a few updates here and there.
The problem with bigger devices is playing them on your side in bed, Vita and before that was fine. Since the Switch you gotta have a gooseneck holder & controllers detached so you can lie down holding them, or your arm will quickly get tired.
Not many people have decent computers though, look at Steam charts, many own junk (by today's mid-high end standard) GPUs and probably CPUs too, so depending on the game many of them aren't going to run too good.
No.. Jensen believes GPUs should stay expensive. Those wanting a top end GPU will have to splash out for it, or play at just 1080p and 60fps or something if you can only afford a low end option.
On the other hand if you don't care about RT or AI performance then there's always AMD that are doing ok at the mid range.
@babadook7 People can game on whatever they want, I have no issue with it, I barely game (if ever atm) these days because many titles are just rehashes of older stuff, I look forward to S&box and some other games here and there, but not that much, I'm more interested in watching Twitch or YouTube, or messing around with AI programs or other software. I'm just stating that being a "Pro" console it could've been better, I'd say it's a bit lop sided towards the ...
"pretty good" is not good enough, 3000 chips (Zen 2) were decent at the time, not even the best though if counting just games alone as Intel was still a bit better on minimum frame rates with their 8700k that came out the same year as Zen 1! A Whole 2 years before Zen 2 launched. Granted AMD have been doing better since then, but we're still talking about a CPU that came out in 2019 and we've had good advances since then.. and people are expecting 60FPS in games like GTA 6 w...
The CPU certainly needed an upgrade, UE 5 titles are going to have a bit of a hard time with that Zen 2 CPU, that's why Robocop has FPS dips.
Valve are not interested in consoles, well Gabe Newell isn't, they would hand it to someone else to port the game over if they were going to do that.
@anast
If you spend a few thousand you usually get far better performance than console at higher resolutions, that's the point, and not always are GPUs bad value. With consoles the games generally cost more, and you have to pay the online subscription fee, that's where they make their money back from console gamers.
Nah, the PC version of the 3D SP game wasn't terrible.. Average? Yea, the online play was kind of fun, the main issue was the repetitive enemies in single player especially early on.. Just tons of turkeys.
They should've made a Hit & Run esque game like that one that was cancelled, would've at least had potential to be fun.
TBF it just depends what you're used to, if you've played at 90+FPS on a decent screen then even dipping to 60 can look a bit choppy. Granted it also depends if using an LCD or OLED as well as that has an effect on smoothness, it's not the same as CRT days.
The UK is the biggest junk country pandering to that nonsense as well, with laws against free speech and expression to match. It got so bad even Rowan Atkinson made a video on free speech about it.
Now the UK raises the age rating on harmless films like Mary Poppins, it's just a load of pansy weak ass nonsense.
Hard to disagree with that, really how can all the other games (especially after it) have less single player content?
DKR managed a better game on the 64 and Mario Kart gets away with literally the bare minimum all the time.
You know what they say.. all toasters toast toast!
Final Fight was a great game on the CD, not only on the system but as a fighting game of the time as well. Up there in some ways with Streets of Rage 2 IMO. It's too bad they didn't continue putting the rest of them on there, the music is top notch too.
If Apple end up making household robots (which appear to be on their way) you just know they'd price them much higher than the competition, it'd be like Android Vs Apple again.
PS6 will likely = a good mid range PC at time of release, which is usually the case these days. Consoles can still be there for those who want to spend less on a system, they still pay out more than the initial cost for online fees and more expensive games though.
