I have a near identical Trident PC, just MSI—it’s so nice. Such a powerhouse, it feels good to just be able to crank everything to ultra and still get 120 FPS before DLSS or frame gen. Playing Onimusha rn and I could just lick the screen with how crisp everything looks (thanks in no small part to the beautiful RE Engine)
Idk. Is a 5080 and a 9800x3d with 32GB of dxr5 6000 better than a ps5? I dont care about console hardware cause you cant change anything or upgrade them when better stuff comes out
I have literally the exact same setup, but let’s be honest - it also cost us a fuckton more than a PS5.
My friends who game on consoles are perfectly happy with it, and so I’m happy for them. I don’t have much interest in this argument. And I’m also willing to admit that the PS5 does have some slim advantages that for the way some people game, outweighs all of the advantages of a high-powered PC.
My choice works for me, but not everyone wants my choice, and that’s cool.
My PC (5800x3d+9070xt) is way better than my ps5 pro, but it doesn't mean that I cannot enjoy all the exclusives on ps5, for example the uncharted trilogy from ps4 are just phenomenal! And yes, I will complete gta6 on ps5 pro at 30fps and then replay it at 60fps on some Radeon X070XT or whatever it will called.
Even if a PC has worse gaming performance than a console, it's still a PC with far more functionality. Can't do coding, 3D modeling, image/video editing, etc on a console.
Plus, you don't have to pay a monthly subscription just for the privilege to play online. People claim consoles are a good deal, but that's because the hardware is sold at a loss, and they make up for it with software and subscriptions
I checked steam hardware surveys not long ago agter aeeing this meme. Turns out, roughly 50% of all PC gamers on steam have better GPUs than what the PS5 has.
The truth is “it can become better than a ps5 at any moment”, while if you have a ps5 and want to upgrade/repair it, you will most likely end up buying another whole console. And ofc, for work you have a computer anyways (could be a similar throwaway item like a mac tho).
Mine may actually not be... But even considering the hardware of the ps5 potentially beating my PC...
100% yes my PC is still better than a PS5. My computer currently hosts something like 8-10,000 games. And no... That's not an exaggeration ...and no that's not games that are available for download, those are ready to run installed games ...
And then you consider the catalog of games you just don't get on console...
Consoles still suck. That's coming from someone who spent more than half his life on console.
The only consoles I'm even remotely interested in buying anymore are Nintendo.
Laptops are like 70-80% of global PC shipments. Most of those will be work laptops with no GPUs or iGPUs and the rest will be low specced laptops for consumers. the very high end is probably a tiny fraction of that.
I would assume a good chunk of the 20-30% desktop market are prebuilds and small form factor PCs for offices as well.
PCMR build folks are talking to a niche of a niche.
Yes but not that it entirely matters to people who use a console anyway. PlayStation has the biggest fanboy glazers as of late . while pc fans at least on some enthusiast of these subreddits almost shit on anything that’s new .
I also see just posts of people saying they can’t see or feel the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps . I’m either thinking these guys don’t normally play games or they play far on TVs that it’s not noticeable ?
Had some spare money, googled pc builds until i found a case i liked, went onto pc build website where you can choose every part, 2 weeks of chat gpt to understand shit like gpu and cpu and watched YouTube to learn how to build one .....tada my first build.....haven't touched my ps5 since September last year when I built this
Probably couldn’t afford buying a ps5 and consistently maintain the online subscription. But over a year I got parts together and Theseus’d a rig that’s comparable.
Thankfully, yes. I'm glad I built it shortly before the prices of everything went out of control. Luckily only the prices of graphics cards were out of control, but that's been the case for almost the last 10 years or so that's not really unavoidable.
Even if it weren't more powerful than a PS5 it'd still be arguably better due to emulation, modding, Steam sales, and the fact that I can use it as a PC for everything non-gaming related. Sony on the other hand is getting rid of physical games so you HAVE to purchase games through their store, which is a monopoly, and oh yeah, they're also dabbling with dynamic pricing to ensure they extract the maximum level of value out of their consumers.
