| Munkeh111 said: So it's not quite a fair comparison as your £100 graphics card will likely find itself in a £400+ system. You would also only expect this parity to last another few months and teams get more time and more experience working on next-gen hardware The problem is as a PC gamer you always want more. My 670 could provide nice 1080p gaming, but once I can't hit ultra and keep the frame rate up, I'm going to want more power rather than just lowering the settings. Star Citizen is going to ruin me |
Very true, but most PC gamers will already have the system, and will just be looking for upgrades, as i did recently.
Purchased a GTX770 for £250 with 3 games bundled in as an upgrade for my PC (which is a 5 year old build), and the GTX770 will keep my system going for a good number of years, and am able to play everything on Ultra with no issues.
Its true that building a capable PC is going to be more expensive than a console in the initial purchase, but in the long run, with the ability to just upgrade individual components every couple of years, it works out cheaper (and get better performance) than buying a brand new console every 6 or so years.
