Help me decide between PC and Console gaming.

[iv-tecman]

Stick with the PC in my opinion. I bought a PS4 last Christmas and it hardly gets touched apart from for console exclusives. I can't bring myself to buy anything for it that I can get on my PC (apart from FIFA) because it's always such a step down in graphics and FPS. I've got a 144hz Swift with G-Sync and no matter how good the colours etc are on my TV... it just doesn't compare to the PC.

I just got a g sync 144 hz monitor, and yeah its hard to go back to consoles once you get that super smooth fps, g sync is just so good, no framepacing, tearing and lag at 1440 res just makes PC gaming a real pleasure.

PC gaming is ok without g sync but once you get g sync and I suspect free sync is the same, its just wow.

My PS4 hardly gets used anymore.

I wasn't sure which forum to write this in, so feel free to move it if it's wrong.

Atm, I own a PC with 980 Ti and 27 inch 1440p qnix monitor; a PS4 and 50 inch 1080p TV; and a Nvidia Shield TV.

After the announcement of the PS4 Pro, I've been considering upgrading to a 4K TV. I've also been considering ditching console gaming, making PC my main gaming machine (except for exclusives), and getting a 1440p GSYNC monitor.

I enjoy couch gaming on the larger TV with the PS4, and I want to be able to play exclusives, like FF15.

However, I also enjoy the superior graphics and FPS of PC gaming. Plus, I've spent a lot of money over the years building and upgrading my PC.

I'm finding it difficult to decide what to do - buy a 4k TV and PS4 Pro, or buy a GSYNC monitor. I can't afford to do both. Which do you think would be the best and long-term, most cost effective solution?

PS. I can stream PC games with gamestream but it's buggy and not all games work.

Tough one. You would miss your PC so much believe me. PS Pro is certainly not going to do 4k graphics as such, it will improve. I'd get a normal PS4 cheap, and PSVR and upgrade your monitor to a 3440x1440p 34" rather than getting a new TV. Speaking from experience. I did get a 65" 4k tv too, but that's me. in order of importance on a budget, you don't need to upgrade your tv.

EDIT: My nvidia shield tv is gathering buggy dust, along with its ridiculous controller. sell it if you can be bothered, or you don't need it for Kodi. You don't need g-sync. just set v-sync on in the nvidia control panel, and turn it off in games. my monitor which i love, no amazing but for the price awesome Link stay away from acer imo.

It's so simple, it's unreal.

Console for exclusives, PC for everything else.

Why?...graphics, keyboard and mouse or controller, graphics, modding, no extra cost for online services like PSN or XBL and did I mention graphics?

Etc, etc, etc.
