If you think it will be affordable, more power to you. But sitting at $300 on just the GPU when that's the cost of a PS4... Microsoft must be aiming for premium users. Which would be weird, because those already exist.
They're called PC gamers. |
It's not really any different from the PS4/XB1 GPUs which were based on the 7850-7870 2012 GPUs from AMD.
Actually the Polaris 10 is cheaper than the 7870 was when it released. Polaris 10 is only $299, 7870 was $350. And the price of RAM has also dropped from 2013.
Here's a pro-tip ... Sony/MS which order components on the scale of *millions* for multiple years get a better price than what a 13-year-old does buying a single GPU from their corner Best Buy. $300 range PC GPU being sourced for a newly released console is nothing mind blowing, the PS4/XB1 both already did that 4 years ago.
