That was the other thing that sticks out in mind about PC gaming, specifically when it comes to self built PCs; you spend a lot of time tweaking settings, updating and modifying, even after the process of mapping out hardware specs, pricing all hardware to get the best parts under the same budget, assembling everything neatly with clean wire management and airflow, overclocking CPU in BIOS, stress testing OC settings for system stability, overclocking GPU, stress testing settings for game stability, etc. and I still spent a lot of time tweaking settings in each game to get the best performance to visuals balance.
It was almost like every game I played with a decent engine became a benchmark program for my system. I had fun with that, but I spent a lot less time actually playing through games as a result. That doesn't happen on a console.
