Replace the GPU with this for an additional $20 bucks. Brings the PC to $400 bucks even.

That GPU outperforms the PS4.


You do know that you can't compare PC vs. console specs directly, right? Because closer to the metal APIs and closed specs really give a sizeable boost to what the hardware will deliver in the end. That PC will simply be smoked by the PS4 in the next years. Don't you realize how ridiculous is to afirm that an average Joe can build a PC for the same price and with the same performance than machines that were projected by multi-million dollar companies with the best engineers avaiable, custom hardware, custom and close to the metal APIs and years or R&D? Just think about it. Even the margins you get buying separated parts already makes this completely ridiculous. It's like going out there to buy parts for a car and expect to build a car that will outperform a Bugatti Veyron by half of the price.

I'm sick of this "PC gaming master race" posts all over the forum. This thread is about the fact they gimped the PS4 version to match the X1 version just for business reasons and they stated it themselves. If they gimped the PC version at 900p too because of X1 then we could bring PC to the table here. It's not a performance thing, it's intentionally making the PS4 version worse just to match the other version and people are spinning it to a "PC beats consoles" thing again.

 

I'm not comparing the specs at all. You guys are. First off, lets get a few things straight:

 

1) The PS4 cannot smoke the PC... Period. The PS4 can't even do 4k gaming, while the PC can. What a silly thing for you to say.

 

2) Like I said, I didn't compare specs. I'm comparing performance. The link(s) I provided allow for one to create a PC for $400 bucks or less and provides 1080p AND 60fps gameplay with higher quality visuals.
