| TheJimbo1234 said: If you couldn't access race tracks, then yes, what you said would be true about cars etc. But unlike games, you can access them. Games, like it or not, are limited horribly by the consoles. Heck, they have just moved over to DX 11 after how many years? I like games too, but I would not spend that much money when the hardware has out performed games for close to a decade now. |
But again, you are looking at it purely from a "gaming" perspective, with little knowledge of the development perspective.
To put it bluntly, one of my jobs is a product designer, where the cuda cores and gpu rendering comes in handy (but not flat out essential), the other is games developer, where testing high poly maps and models requires more horsepower than the final version which ends up shipping, especially during the optimization phase.
So I will say one last time, You think it is money wasted, for me it makes perfect sense, as it works extremely well for development in both my jobs, and for high end gaming in my downtime.
