Crysis is a horrible example for anything. But if you want to play that game. Crysis 3, a 2 year old game, does a maximum of 40 fps on ultra 1080p with a GTX980, aka the strongest single GPU on the market right now. That one will set you back over $500 without even reaching 60fps. How is that cheaper? Or we're reasonable people and take some of the better optimized games and not some code that Crytek shat into a text editor. Far Cry 4 and DAI were some of the better running games and still; a 970 is minimum requirement if you want to run it at a stable 60fps on ultra in Far Cry 4. DAI is a bit worse with a 980 barely reaching 60fps on average. This is just the start of the gen and there will be a lot of unoptimized shit that can't be run by any high end card. Nope it's definitely not cheaper. Then again, if you want cheap, why use a PC? |
It's definitely cheaper this gen. I built my current PC in 2013 and still manage to outperform the consoles; higher res, better performance and more effects.
Last gen I built a PC for similar money at the start of the gen and only just managed to match the performance of the 360/PS3. That was with a "decent" GPU released a year into the gen.
