The point of the benchmark is to show that when there is no bottleneck for the CPU, that is the fps that you will be recieving... And resolution doesn't have significant impact on CPU performance. The chart simply shows that a cpu like an i3 will not be a bottleneck when it comes to SoM. Whatever bottleneck there is will be your GPU or something else.
Also, yes, a 780Ti costs a lot but again, the point of that chart was to show a cpu benchmark, not GPU.. The point that I am getting at is that an i3 + 280X can run SoM fairly easily in high settings which is shown on the benchmark. Yes, you won't be getting perfect results but the results will be close enough
And yes, the ps3 is getting some ports but thats what happens in a transition period... A lot of gaming PCs are direct X 11 capable and they have been for a very long time now hence why developers aren't bothering too much with dx9 and soon enough, there won't be any cross platform games either so it overall won't even matter soon enough. And if you follow PC gaming, its pretty easy to see the DX11/DX12 will be here to stay for a very long time and Nvidia has already stated that all DX11 GPUs will be getting a free DX12 update so stuff like that won't happen. And not to mention that Dx12 will be bringing much more "console level" optomizations to PCs with sigifinatly less overhead than DX11 which = more performance for games that decide to use it.
And PCs in general offer much more things than consoles do. Apart from the countless things that a PC can do other than being able to play games, Steam offers sales where 6500 games go on sale as well as AAA games that are releases a couple of months ago go on sale for 50%+. And not to mention how much other features that it has which are free that PS+/XBL require u to pay for. And of course, it has backwards compatiblity so that as you upgrade, you can still play ur old games unlike what you can do with a ps3/ps4/360/x1. Sure, you can keep ur ps3/360 but eventually, they will either break or get lost and you wouldn't be able to play those games on ur ps4/x1 unless u get another ps3/360. And there are plenty more benefits to PC gaming like mods and etc which you should be aware of since you are a so called "former pc gamer"

I never cared about mods, dealing with windows, installing games and fixing some issues to run the games properly is allready a hazzle enough for me, and mods for me felt always cheap. Yes you can make the characters naked with mods, but you cant add breast physics in the games just one example if you understand my logic here. Mods feel just cheap to me, i would take original content from the original devoloper at any day over mods.
That backwards compatibility on pc is a myth, yes you can install the games but that doesnt mean they will run. Have you ever tried to play windows 95 games? These games wont even run on XP, i still have XP on my computer installed so i can play some older games like mgs2 for example or silent hill 3 which crashes on w7. Its much easier just to buy an older console again from ebay etc. than trying to run older pc games. And what costs a ps2? nothing. Yes some older consoles went up in price but its mostly the really really old stuff when PCs didnt exist or niche consoles.
Steam sales arent cheaper than console games if anything they are more expensive, the evil within for example. I bought this game from amazon for 38€ while on steam it still costs 60€. How is steam cheaper? it might get cheaper if youre right and it drops 50% to 30€ in a steam sale. But why should i wait for this day? If console retail games constantly drop in price day after day why should i wait? And used games like the evil within are even more cheaper which costs 30€ on amazon.
Its a fact that console retail games are cheaper than steam games as indepedent retailers and resellers can react and have a say there too on the price, on steam its only valve and the publishers/devolopers who set the price. And used console games are even more cheaper like i said. And you dont have to wait for a day, its happening in real time after the game launches thanks to the open market.
Sorry i wanted to led this thread die but i hate these certain PC myths you brought up
