PS5 pricing vs Nvidia 3000 series

[DmitryD]

£450 with 4k blu ray drive, £360 without.
Why pay £470+ for a 4k capable GPU, when you can drop £450 on an entire console which is 4k capable?

That would be insane for sure - go for 3090!

 

[gpuerrilla]

Wait for the RTX3060 that's coming, will be as fast as a Series X and priced around $350-$399

Your right, you will be doing lots of waiting!

 

[gpuerrilla]

Shame you will need at least a £600 PC to plug the GPU into(£300ish 8 core,£100ish B550 to get PCI-E 4.0,PCI-E 4.0 SSD,and all the other bits).

Can I not just stick the card into my Dell Optiplex and get 1337 gaming xperience?

This is actually pretty spicy.

Think this was a pretty smart move from Sony. Imagine it will tempt over a fair few people.

(Yes I know 3070 is crazy powerful compared to whatever is in the PS5, but you can't argue with the value for money the Sony is putting on the table with this console release vs Nvidia's new cards..!)

The prices of the digital PS5 games will soon add up

Very impressed with the pricing for PS5, better than I thought it would be - would still pick my PC over console tho, I already have a dedicated blu-ray player (or could just buy one for PC if needed) so PS5 is no use to me.

I'm still on 1080Ti which plays everything as well as I need it to, might consider an upgrade to 3080 or 3090 next year if 1080Ti starts to really show its age but going to be a while before that happens I think. Happy gaming / purchasing all!

Why not get both? Best of both worlds then.

One of those low profile ones with the 250W PSU will do!!

Not a chance. The 3070 will be about the same level as the XSX.

There is not a single chance in hell the 3060 will be anywhere close.

I plugged it in. Its not turning on. What should I do?

 

[FoxEye]

And vs the Series X

RTX 3060: $350-$399 = On par with Series X
RTX 3070: $499 = 20% faster than Series X
RTX 3080: $699 = 60% faster than Series X
RTX 3090: $1499 = 80% faster than Series X

All of this is 100% pulled out of your backside

Get ready for console tears then, the 3070 is faster than the 2080ti. Series X ain't coming close

Dremel time!

Oh it's faster now is it?

Sure it is. Sure. In maybe 2 games with RTX ON.

I'd wait for benches but I think there's gonna be a lot of people questioning the point of the 3070, and defo questioning the point of the 3060.

3060 will be worse than console for almost as much as a console money. It'll be a complete FAIL (with it's generous 6GB VRAM too )

'4k capable' - There is a lot of variation in these words. Surely even you must understand that the price difference here is that whilst your enjoying 4k/30 or 4k/60 with gimped graphics , 3080 owners will be pushing games with maximum fidelity and destroying framerates for a lot of titles.

given 3080 benchmarks, its pretty obvious that the 3070 is going to be sitting under a 2080ti for the majority of titles.

it's a 4k blu ray player, not a typical 1080p blu ray player.
those bad boys retail for £150-200+ typically.

probably will, RIP xbox (and wallet)

 

[Scougar]

Why pay 450 for a brick that just becomes a glorified blu-ray player. Get the GPU that you will actually use.

Yawn.

Why ignore the large number of console exclusives?Or at least timed exclusives.

People here don't seem to complain when a gpu (alone) costs nearly double that of a console. Yet can't find money to try some console gaming too.

Ive always owned consoles alongside my gaming pc. They all actually get used. I really won't ever understand why people are so stubbornly sticking to one platform.

cause I can easily afford it, it's nothing money

mid that's true then the people who sold their 2080ti for $500 are suckers, glad I waited
