So, on top of that $498 that Andrespetmonkey, we have to add:
- $24.65 (cheapest mouse + keyboard from Amazon).
- $91.17 for Windows 7
Note that we're assuming that we'll be using a TV here and we'll not include time and labour as part of the price. So, that's $613.82 for parts for a PC that will last a couple of years. |
It willl last just as long as the PS4 if not longer.
-This does everything the PS4 does and more.
-It is out NOW, and will cost about $450 when the PS4 launches.
-It is most likely slightly stronger than the PS4.
Still you cannot even fathom that being worth the price?
|
- No, it won't last as long as the PS4 just like a mid-range PC from 2006 has been able to last as long the PS3. In other words, will that configuration allow me to play games well for the next 7-8 years? I doubt it.
- It can do more but this pc's purpose is for gaming.
- $450 - does that include the mouse + kb + OS?
- I'll believe Digital Foundry when they say "Put into perspective, this level of throughput exceeds that of even capable £120+ PC graphics cards, including current mid-range favourite the Radeon HD 7850."

-A midrange PC from 2006 does last as long as the PS3. I know because I own one. You do not, so I understand why you are skeptical.
-Look if all you are going to do is cover your ears and pretend its other uses don't exist, then yeah I guess I can't argue with a child.
-Yes that does include all that stuff.
-The fact is PS4's graphics card will be downclocked to save on yields and heat, while the PC's 7850 can always overclock an extra 20% to compete with high end cards. If anything it will not be weaker.
-Also a 7850 comes with Bioshock: Infinite and Tomb Raider. So now you can deduct $110. Hmm that makes it $500 for a PS4 now + being able to do everything you already need a PC for.
To everyone else: Seriously people you need to calm down. Why do PC's have to be bad price/performance wise? It's like some of you can't accept that they are affordable now, and frankly idk why. PC's were complete rip-offs in 2005 when SONY and MS were killing themselves to sell their consoles at massive losses, but that just isn't true anymore. I will be getting a PS4 day 1 for its games, portability, and the fact that it can be used with my Vita. However PC's really are worth looking into people.
|
- So, what's the specs of that 2006 PC?
- Only one way to be sure of that one - wait for the PS4 to release.
- I'll still believe digital foundry over you when they say that PS4's GPU is more powerful. Funny how you ignore that.
- Even funnier when you're trying to pass the PS4 as a $500 machine.
|
-I didn't ignore DF, I am simply saying overclocking will trounce the benifits. The 7000 series are legendary overclockers.
-What's funny? I am saying it is $500 now!
-It is abundently obvious you are running out of things to say back to me.
Specs:
X1900 GT -> was $200 and is decently stronger than the one in the PS3.
Core 2 Duo E6300 Overclocked to 3GHz-> was $230 at the time and didn't hold any games back until recently.
I can easily play BF3 on Low-Medium in full 720p. Looks better than BF3 on my PS3.
Question: Why would a PC not last as long? You can adjust graphics settings so in 5 years "Low" will look like what "High" or "Ultra" does now (Excluding the original Crysis as always). For instance I can run Fallout 3 on my $380 7970 AND my $35 6450. One just looks vastly superior and can run graphics mods. Also FO3 looks better on the 6450 than it does on consoles lol.
