But the thing is, most people already own a pc and by just upgrading the gpu you can play most games at 1080p/ 60fps. For example: I got a i5 cpu with only 4 gigs of memory and I can play everything at ultra after replacing my ancient 460gtx with a 970gtx, which cost me $399. I do agree that pc gamers exaggerate the importance of 60fps a bit. Even with the best hardware it's gonna be hard to get a locked 60fps with any demanding game at ultra settings. I found Ryse, for example, to be much more enjoyable at a locked 30fps than a framerate that jumps from 80 to 40fps all the time. |
Which is the reason why most PC gamers strive for locked 60FPS. It's not really exaggerated, just a good baseline. If you scratch the most useless and power hungry effects from the ultra presets it's a lot easier to hit a smooth 60.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
