Now ive been PC gaming for years and I love it. I love what people do with their hardware in terms of pushing limits and trying to build the "ultimate" setup, but I have a question; Why spend out the money on say a Titan graphics card when I can play Metro LL on my 7790 just fine? £100 vs £800 to play the same game...on one component.
Check my sig for my specs, it's nothing special at all yet it plays any game I throw at it, maybe not on ultra settings but it's good enough. What I don't understand is this...
My system plays most games out there on average "high" settings at a smooth FPS. Now why spend 8x what I spent just to play the same game on the Ultra setting? I could understand say a £500 system plays "high" and then a £600 system plays "ultra" but we are talking my £400 system and say sombody spending £2000...big difference in price for click of a mouse to turn it up on ultra. Especialy when a somthing better comes out 6 months later which blows your card out of the water...
Saying that....same thing as sombody having a Ford Focus and sombody haveing a buggatti. The same 70mph speed limit applys to both cars.
Im not after a big debate...I mean if you have the money to spend on a rig, why not? But is this where the industry is loosing the battle against the console? You buy the new PS4 it's going to be the "latest and greatest" in the eyes on a console gamer for what, the next 5 - 6 years? You buy the latest CPU or graphics card and within a year it's old hat! Yes your rig will be playing BF4 at a better detail level but it cost you £2000, yet the console gamer spent £350 to play the same game which still looks amazing!
Thoughts and comments welcome. Oh and be nice!
