Have to agree. There are some good titles on the PS but the graphics are ***** compared to high-end enthusiast PC graphics.

You're right it was, They've known all along that the consumers have been under the illusion that the RX Vega release would be in the first half of 2017,
OK, I'll bite. And I'll bite as an avid PC gaming fan of 30 years or more, so no fanboy'ism.
Just got a PS4 Pro. Been very, very happy with it. £349, and that included Horizon Zero Dawn.
Bought another 9 games. All from eBay. Nearly all are exclusive to the PS4. All are great single-player games, which is what I love. Average purchase price has been £11.57p. All are disk-based, so can be resold and get most of my money back. And they were so cheap in the first place.
I've never skipped PC gaming before in my life, but the shoddy quality of most PC ports and the insane cost of graphics cards has pushed me too far. I'm happy with where I am now. Will pick up the odd PC title in a Steam sale - or better still, on GOG - but for now, I'm out. My 970 will keep me happy for another year or two.
Hope that didn't "crack you up" too much.
NB. I will be ignoring ALL responses to my post, as things just get far too childish around these parts when any sensible debate about the cost of gaming comes up and people mention consoles. I'm happy with my choice. I am also happy with anyone else who has made a different choice.
I think the Playstation's the one console it makes sense to get aswell as a gaming PC, The exclusives aren't that rare and there's some pretty good ones. I think I'll grab a Pro if it has a good discount once the Scorpio lands, I'm currently playing the PS3 classics on my PC via Playstation Now.

I know of 4 friends that have done the same. And they where all PC gamers not happy with the recent nvidia increased prices and problems with certain games .. and i am sure there are many others out there too that have done the same... I understand... its simple setup plug and play that's it ....But with the pc it can be a real minefield not just with the games but hardware too...personally i dislike anything that is closed system/architecture but nvidia for years have been trying to close down the pc with there techs gameworks gsync ect ..If anything its them that are doing the damage and pushing peeps away from the pc and onto consoles.
Where do they want to go with this will it be a case of a new released game only being able to run on a Nvidia badged PC and the rest on a AMD badged one ...This is stuff of nightmares and for that this is why i dislike these techs like gimpworks gsync ect its only separates / divides the pc gaming community... do not get me wrong i am all for variable sync refresh techs but locking us down to do it is just wrong ....

It's not being marketed as a gaming card, it will cost a fair bit more and not be optimised for gaming. It will however run games, so will probably give us a reasonable estimation on the approx performance of Vega when it does come out.

You must not be playing Ubisoft games then
A quote from a games tester.
Arkham Knight is a very good example. The PC version would never have made it onto the Ps4 or Xbone.
Hmm, don't you remember Assassins Creed Unity on console, where frame rates often dropped down to 20fps? Make no mistake, while PC might get slightly worse ports (which can usually be bruteforced to still be better than consoles), modern console games are often not particularly well optimised, simply because they can be patched at a later date.

If the FE edition is meant for the professional market then AMD should really give Vega FE the Firepro branding.

Unity was way worse on PC for Bugs though. Check out some you tube video's to see the hilarious results. You can't brute force through these.

Any how it's common knowledge that PC gets the short straw here but it's expected with the sheer amount of different hardware at play.
Back to Vega talk.
It's not going to cost as much as a fire pro though. I expect somewhere in the £1000 region depending on how close it is to a Titan Xp.

We'll said, I've had a gaming pc since I was 13. I'm now 36 so it will be a big change for me but like you say pc gaming is at a point where the Playstation platform is ahead in terms of quality single player games.
I'm still going to wait it out until vega actually releases because I've just invested ryzen but if vega is disappointing and/or too expensive ill just get a PS4 instead

That actually makes a lot of sense. If Vega doesn’t deliver I don’t fancy being at the mercy of nvidia. Might have no other option. Console game prices are offputting but getting them on the bay is a good idea.

I disagree (with that first sentence) and I say that as a PS4+PS3 owner. The PS4 is good, but the games are mostly too similar to PC offerings. Of the handful PS4 games I have, one I've never touched since I played the PC version to death (game came bundled), another had a bad PC port, another has similar games from the same devs on PC and a couple have very similar games on PC too. Though there is one more that is actually a unique exclusive with nothing like it on PC, but that's exception.
Thusly... I would say that the one system that fits best with a gaming PC is a Nintendo console (as much as I hate that company). If you want graphics and performance, the PC handles that. Nintendo games don't care about such things and are very unique, not much like them. Many Nintendo games support local multiplayer, which is something that can't be said of the PS4 (only one of my PS4 games has local multiplayer) as very few games seem to have that feature. Granted, you can emulate many of them but the newest console hardwares are still worth owning as they either can't be emulated yet or can't be emulated well.
The TLDR is, that Nintendo offers a different experience to what you can get on PC/PS4/XB1. I've seen a lot of people pair their Gaming PC with something like a WiiU (or more recently the Switch). All that said, PS4 is not a bad console, I enjoy playing on mine and look forward to playing Wipeout releasing on it next week. But it's just not the singular console I would pair with PC (but if you're talking 2 consoles...).
I would apologise for all the off-topic discussion, but there's nothing to talk about with Vega or even any positive speculation. So it's probably a better discussion than what Vega has given us so far in this thread lol.
Also props to the person in the old thread who predicted Vega would launch on the 30th June/end of June. They were right! Obviously not the Vega we were hoping for, but it's still a Vega chip in that non-consumer GPU.
It is liekly to cost £3-4000, ave veyr poor availability and what is available not sold through regular retail channels but directly to some HPC customers. If you do get a card then you'll find the drivers don't really work for games.
im 39 and have just built my first pc in January after spending my whole life gaming on console s if you dont count my spectrum and amiga 500 and i couldnt be more happier. Honestly my pc with a fury is so much better graphically than anything xbox or playstation can managed anytime soon. And your wrong if you think you will save money the current lifespan of a console is very short.
It used to be said about the PC.
