I'm a PC gamer & I love graphics, but I'm cheap. I'll admit it. I don't like spending too much money on items that depreciate in value rather quickly. There will be a newer better card next year that will cost probably $100 dollar more than the most expensive card now. I never believed in being a guinea pig for companies; hence, I don't buy top of the line products, specially in technology. Granted some of you get enjoyment out of all this, that's fine. I will not push my views on to any of you who enjoy spending money, I; however, am frugal and enjoy it.
My current GPU is an HD5770, my previews was the 7800GS. I wait to buy a good mid-card that can play most games well. True I could build me a 3-4k rig, but why? In 2-3 years I can get the technology for 5-6 hundred dollars. I would even bet that I can buy a video card with the GTX 690 equivalency & better efficiency for less than $150 in two & half years. That's a 850/2.5 = about a 283 dollar a year depreciation for just the video card. NOT worth it for me.
I'm not going to foolishly say that Console games are equal in graphics to recently released graphic cards, but I don't care. I don't need to have those graphics right now, I know I will eventually see them in the following generations. I play consoles because there is a larger pool of developers that make games for consoles. Good looking shooters don't interest me, I play CS:Go & that's enough for me. In fact, I'll go play right now.
