A 1000 GPU was never justified.Then how do you justify a £1000 gpu?
I demanded 4k @ 120 FPS two years ago. I haven't gotten it since; what I got was a £1000 GPU that still couldn't manage a stable 120FPS @ 4k but did have raytracing at mediocre framerates @ 1080p. And the risk of the card only being able to play Space Invaders.Does everyone suddenly demand 4k 120fps?
Cyberpunk doesn't look to have revolutionary graphics. Not compared to how The Witcher 3 was supposed to be graphically revolutionary as shown at E3. But the Witcher 3 was downgraded from E3. This time they've tried to hype up Cyberpunk with storyline cutscenes and Keanu Reeves rather than revolutionary graphics, then casually mention on the side that we'll get raytracing (which was nowhere to be seen in a live demo at E3). Raytracing is the true next gen feature, but you can bet it will be light on the ground ( ) as upcoming consoles will not be capable of all raytracing features and so it'll be downgraded (or never fully realised in the first place for PCs).I don't really understand what route pc gaming will take. Cyberpunk will be amazing on pc, but if its 4k/60 on a next gen console then why even bother with pc?
Stadia is yet another streaming service for something you don't physically own. I say the enjoyment / novelty of owning your own hardware and physically having it sat in front of you will last a while yet. Plus there are the compression artifacts and latency worries that aren't going away anytime soon.The gap seems to be closing and either consoles or things like stadia could finally change the pc gaming world in a way people used to claim for years.
