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 has nothing to do with optimisation but with intel and nvidia ripping off niche costumers. Nvidia and co. could easily make cheaper graphicscards but they know they have the best of the best. Thats why you cant buy an corei7 8-core for a reasonible price or why their best graphicscard is a titan for a 1000€.
Yes pc gaming starting from below is very cheap because thats the area where they ussually had to compete with powerPC consoles and now with ARM based smartphones and tablets. But as soon as you go upwards you get less and less for your money.
