You mean, same as most console generations except for this last one where the consoles underperformed PC's at releaseI'm giving the PS5 less than 2 years before there's an affordable solution for the PC market that allows similar performance,
Yet somehow I’m still not worried that the new PC I’m building on the weekend is going to be overshadowed by a $600 console.It only takes ~$5,000 to do what the PS5 will be able to do on PC, which includes a 24-core Threadripper.
Exactly, getting a video card and power supply for me would probably be close to a next-gen console in price anyway considering I'll probably wait a couple years as I doubt there'll be a must play title for at least a year.I look forward to seeing what the PS5 can do.
To upgrade my current Ryzen 1700, RX 480 8 Gb desktop to match my Xbox 1 X would cost me a fortune. So, $500 for gen 9 seems a good deal.
I just have a Ryzen 5 3400g APU and it plays every game from last-gen at 60+ fps. And, most of what's considered "typical PC games" like say Divinity or Cities Skylines don't push graphics too much anyway and my APU can play them just fine. You really only need the power for the AAA shinies that are getting shitter and shitter.I'm thoroughly uninterested in switching from a PC to a console, but it's nothing to do with raw power; my PC built around a 1050TI and 7th gen i5 can barely keep up with the current gen, let alone next gen. What I like about the PC is that it has a huge variety of games, and they're often not very expensive, and I can play them all on the same machine I browse the web and do work on.
The only games that i have that somewhat push the boundaries of my system are Stellaris and similar titles. And certainly not because of graphics.I just have a Ryzen 5 3400g APU and it plays every game from last-gen at 60+ fps.

Not necessarily true. You sometimes need a decent amount of processing power not just for graphics but games that have a lot of physics calculations, like Kerbal Space Program, or where there are a lot of characters on screen at once, like Vermintide.I just have a Ryzen 5 3400g APU and it plays every game from last-gen at 60+ fps.
