Yeah, I am not getting anything until next year also. Lots of games I want to play are coming out next year. Question for me is will I be playing them on PC or on PS5.

Playstation is ok, makes sense to have PC and Playstation for exclusives. Not great having a walled garden eco system though. Can get some good deals in the sales mind. PS5 games will be so pricey that factor in the extra cost and PC is far cheaper in the long run. As long as you're not buying RTX 2080 Ti's xD
Prefer PC openness. VR much better on PC too.
Also the EPIC store has been amazing, not spent any money yet they give me free games every week. Imagine Sony ever doing that !
Xbox game pass is pretty good for a rental service. On PC now too though so kind of makes Xbox redundant going forward.
Plus I love GOG the only place I like to spend my money these days. No DRM, actually feel like you own what you buy lol.
Plan on totally skipping next console gen. PC will far surpass consoles this time around imho.

Here we go, with Nvidia magic, Pascal owners in their droves, now ditching their cards for the RTXs, INCOMING!
RT right now is in a beta state and 2000 series buyers are testers, Personally waiting for the 3080 Ti or whatever their next top end non Titan card is and then I'll jump on the RT bandwagon.

I know I am in a minority but when I heard about the new pixel scaling thingybobs I was super excitedHere we go, with Nvidia magic, Pascal owners in their droves, now ditching their cards for the RTXs, INCOMING!
But it is Turing only. I find it quite surprising that you need the monster compute of Turing to get 30 year old games looking not blurred!.
It's no use for me sadly.. not for another 6years anyway where I am at the point of having a Turing GPU that can be retired to the arcade machine.
Surely high end Pascal has the grunt to do it as well ? It's not like old emulated games or 2D games like FTL put any other strain on the gpu

Oh I agree with you. I prefer the PC. But I skipped both the PS3 and 4. Only borrowed them from a friend to play a couple exclusives like The Last of Us for example. But I am still only on my 1080p Plasma TV and this Black Friday I may pick up a LG C9 OLED which will have VRR and work nicely with a PS5.
Also I play less games these days and mainly play single player. Happy to play them on a PS5 and then 4-5 years later pick them up on a sale on the PC to add to my steam library when price for performance improves a lot on PC. I would get a 3080 Ti if they priced it at £600-700 like they did with the 1080 Ti. But Nvidia lost the plot. Actually people have as they are happy to pay that money for a non Ti and pay £1200 for the Ti. That is just ludicrous as around 2 years later that card is worth £700-800 less if you go to sell it.

It's under advanced settings in the performance tab. So far works like a charm.

GeForce v436.15 WHQL Released
Last edited:
Tried it earlier, got massive lag in Fortnite regardless of which Low Latency option (Ultra, On, Off). Even did a clean install. Uninstalled, went back to 431.60 with max pre-rendered frames: 1. All smooth again. Will wait for the next driver.

Get random GPU usage dips to 0% on a 1080 Ti with 436.15WHQL which causes huge frame drops in Destiny 2, Went back to the previous 436.02 driver and back to normal.
Also the new "Low Latency" option tends to make performance worse in all scenarios with a 1080 Ti.

I dont think I have seen anybody aor that opinion before. Everything insane seen people say suggests they will be closer than ever.

Me iether. With the PS5 having an SSD and loading games super quick coupled together VRR and VRR capable OLED TV, I think graphics will look the same if not better for a few years. Only thing that maybe better on PC is ray tracing.
i don’t know whether it helps but i did a couple of hours in destiny 2 last night in my 1080ti without a problem.
Even at launch PS5 and New Xbox won't match current high end PC's.
Finally getting an hybrid SSD is nice but PC has had SSD Tech for donkeys years.
In a few years the consoles will be so far behind. Much faster than previous gen.
I mean sure if you like plug and play console is great. But PC is just superior, open platform better control options. And now with things like Game Pass, consoles are obsolete (For me)
PlayStation exclusives are good but not enough to warrant buying a console and £59.99 games xD
Gonna totally skip the next gen. Pc master race ftw !! xD

Pah...no ultrawide monitor in that GIF?
Wot a PC peasant!
They won't be priced like a high-end PC either.
In reality the gap between PC and console performance and visuals gets narrower with every generation, and it's only towards the end of each console generation that the age of the hardware and constraints in the original designs really start to show.
Even if the ps5 is 800 quid that's better than building the type of pc you are talking about. Every console ever released has been not nearly as capable as a pc is you look at specs. Even current common pc components normally out match consoles on release. But the console still plays fairly.well even 4 years into its life. I bet assassins creed played better on the consoles than it did on a pc that was even double the price of it.
And buying a gpu at 800 quid a peice wont last. The following generation it will be 900 quid.

Funny how I mainly play on console now versus PC even though I don't have FPS problems.
That isn't true at all though. You literally only have to step back one generation to the Xbox 360 to find a console that wiped the floor with high end PCs at the time of its launch. It had a superior GPU to anything available for PCs at the time, plus a triple-core, six-thread CPU running at 3.2GHz at a time when the best you could do in a PC was a dual-core Athlon 64 X2. Of course, that generation ended up going on so long that the Xbox 360 and PS3 were massively behind PCs by the time they were put out to pasture, but at least they can say that they were once competitive. The Xbox One and PS4 weren't even close at launch, unless you're failing to take into account the 20-30fps vs 60fps+ gap.
