my pc vs consoles

[Gasser243]

Hey bros,so i'm going to upgrade my pc and i want to know is it worth it or i should get an xbone or a ps4?here's my pc specs that i'm going to get
Cpu:intel i7 4790k
Cpu cooler:cooler master hyper 103
Gpu:msi gtx 970
Ram:16gb 1600mhz kingston
Mobo:msi z97s sli plus
Psu:cooler master v750 gold
Case:cooler master k380 with 3 additional sickle flow x case fans
Os:win 8.1 64bit
So is it worth upgrading? Since consoles are cheaper... or a console will be better?i don't want to upgrade till 3 years from my upgrade is it possible?since i want to run all new games at max settings on a 1080p 60hz monitor @40+fps is that possible?
Thx in advance
Sry 4 bad english 😀

The devs working on it...say it is "REALLY f***ing hard to get 60 FPS" . Apparently they are pushing the boundaries of what is possible and are struggling to get that mark.

If you are struggling in 2015 to get 1080p, 60 FPS...

THEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING WITH HIGH END COMPONENTS!

1080p, 60fps has been a standard on PC for yeeeaaaaars now. We are talking 1440p and cards that can do 4k and 60fps on a single GPU. This is HIGH end.

My old PC from 6 years ago can do 30FPS 1080p on many games...I beg you

 

[Icaraeus]

Your old PC from 6 years ago cannot max out modern games at 1080p60fps. You just changed the subject from Uncharted 4, being in denial that it is indeed native 1080p. Uncharted 4 will be 1080p30fps for singleplayer and 60fps for multiplayer. That was confirmed just yesterday. Go look at the Kite demo in Unreal Engine 4. That runs at 25-30fps on a Titan X at 1080p.

 

[Icaraeus]

Seriously, you really need to catch up to modern news.

I need to catch up? You are completely missing the whole point of what I or anyone else is saying. You can't read between the lines.

So there is no point arguing with you...your bubble is made of solid titanium it seems .

How is your HIGH END 270x (undergoing RMA) doing btw? Could it max out Uncharted 4 too?

Forget it, please don't answer that

 

[Icaraeus]

Uncharted 4 is developed exclusively by Naughty Dog for the PS4. Not even a quad SLI Titan X can run Uncharted 4 because it's built specifically for the PS4. My 270X is doing great. I received word it will be back in 2 weeks.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! YES! YES! YES!


You are ALWAYS good for another golden nugget!!! hahahahahahahahahah!!!


So tell me........what platform exactly is Uncharted being developed on?

 

[Icaraeus]

Something called a PS4 Devkit.

 

[DasHotShot]

I love you Icareus! This has made my day.

These replies have been saved and stored SAFE, to be reused whenever you post on a PS4 thread on this forum or anywhere else I come across you again.

You did what no amount of manpower could ever have done.

For that...I salute you!

 

[Icaraeus]

Wow you're a creep.

 

[DasHotShot]

Wow you're a creep.

And you are the purest, undiluted form of stupidity

A bemusing sight to behold

 

[Icaraeus]

Funny how pretty much everything I've stated is accurate.

 

[Or Nah]

Pretty sure this kid's trolling

APU access to GDDR5 and a secondary low power consumption ARM CPU with its own RAM are relatively forward thinking if not "High End" IMO.

I also would take that technology in a desktop computer, there's no reason why going forward APU's can't become high end with continued development and refinement. I would also love a lightweight 2-4w SOC. built onto my motherboard to offload mundane secondary tasks from the main system.

No...what it is, is cheap

Again... when talking about high end ot low end here...I am referring to performance of the parts...not whether the tech applied is basic or high end.

Smartphones use "high end tech" however nobody defines a cheap no name phone as "high end". The word has a different meaning

 

[Icaraeus]

GDDR5 is not cheap. Clearly you've never seen E3 2015 Uncharted 4.

I'm not a kid, nor am i trolling.

 

[DasHotShot]

Of course I saw it,,

I love how you also are oblivious to the fact that all the E3 demos run on PCs hahahaha.

The depths of your ignorance are fascinating!

 

[Icaraeus]

Uncharted 4 ran on a PS4.

Wide memory bandwidth and hybrid multicore processing is quite possibly the future of high end computing.

Already system.on chip is prevalent and power efficient, hobbyists have shown SOC's working as nodes in a cluster.

Sometimes implementation of new technologies. can appear to be a step backwards until they are fully realised.

Your right though, it is cheap.... but computing has always strove to give you more performance for less money as progression happens. At some point our ability to perceive any improvement in "performance" whether that's resolution, colour depth, refresh rate, texture density or something else. Honestly were pretty close to saturating our perceptive abilities already, so one way of improving computing is improving the efficiency and availability of the equipment.

otherwise what's next..... your not high end unless you can stuff 8 Power hungry Gpu's into your system to display 8k images on a screen that 1080 would have been sufficient for.

 

[Icaraeus]

Hmm, some stuff wrong there. 8K resolution is far, far, far superior to 1080p. HBM and efficient multicore usage is the future. The consumer market dictates whether new technology is successful.

 

[ValeTudoGuy]

I know 8k is far superior to 1080.... but can your eyes tell a qualitative difference on a 30" screen? How many Fps. before you can't register a benefit?

 

[Icaraeus]

I can easily tell the difference between 4K and 1080p on 30 inch monitors. The difference between 8K and 1080p would be magnified a LOT. I don't know what you're getting at. Nobody with an 8K display uses it for games.

Raytraced graphics engines is what's next. That requires pure compute power.

 

[Icaraeus]

Unreal Engine 4 supports ray tracing. Ray tracing isn't really that intensive if you use it efficiently. You can do ray tracing fine on current hardware.

 

[ValeTudoGuy]

what I'm getting at is that what is considered high end often pushes the boundaries of what is affordable rather than what adds qualitative and quantitative enjoyment. At some point your are just buying expensive technology for the sake of it.

Especially when development becomes so biassed towards selling you the next greatest piece of hardware that they become stagnant in true innovation of making enjoyable games that aren't just polished re-hashes of what we have already played.

Already gpu's are fairly inefficient and are often handicapped by their own software drivers.

Also how long ago was it that 4k monitors were not used for gaming? Honestly I have fairly good eyesight, I'm an armature photographer so I can appreciate resolution.... but the difference between 4k and 1080p below around 60" and at comfortable sitting distances does not blow me away.

Certainly not as much as better colour replication and especially true black replication do.
