I'm not sure why future anaylsis should be just at the settings of the Pro, that in turn tells us that we get a PC running at the Pro level rather than what the ahrdware can actually do, really that benefits the pro mroe than it does for PC, why restrain better hardware at all, especially for the higher prices?, it just makes no sense to scale things back.
Again the whole value being subjective is a thing and does exist, but what we have here is the whole cheap objectively better than expensive argument and I'm asking, why bother going high?. I already know the differences and why, but I want you to make a point as to why rather than going with the subjective saying, tell me why buying more power, improved hardware is good than say always buying the cheapest parts and skimping out. |
Because we know that a PC that costs 3 times as good will perform better. Same way how we know that a 1080 will outperform a 1070. If making comparisons of the two, Bonnie is expecting the 1070 to match the 1080, they are more looking at what they will get for their money. If the differemces or caveats are worth it. Hence why I say comparisons between PCs and consoles should be no different.
And as for the more power thing? I can't really answer that question without saying it's subjective. Take me for instance, I am due to buy a 4k tv, figure it's time I upgrade from over 9yrs if using 1080p. I am also interested in HDR and VR. But I'm not interested in spending more than a certian amount of money for all that, so that means PC rigs and PC VR is not even on my radar. For me, there is a lot of value in something like a PS4pro and a 60" 4k HDR tv. And at the very least I know I'm getting a better experience than what I had just a few months ago. But I'm not spending any more money for my PS4pro than I did for my PS4, in truth im spending $200 less but that's another matter.
That whole argument can be made for a PC gamer. Maybe he wants to game at 8k, maybe he wants to game with triple monitors. Maybe he wants vive.... To him there is value in payingfor what he wants.
And that's the important part. You look at it as paying more.... but paying more is only considered as more to someone that feels they are ok with less. For those that what they are paying for is the bare minimum of what they need to do what they want to do, they don't look at it as paying more. They looking at it as paying exactly what they have to pay.
The TV I am going to get will cost me around $1500. I can get a similarly sized 4k tv for $500 less. I'm not paying more for my tv, I'm paying what my TV costs due to the things it does better than the cheaper ones. And I could be paying 4x more for other TVs, but to me the difference in performance isn't 4x better.
But look at my TV... it can maintain a sustained brightness of 800+ nits. the $500 cheaper one can only manage 480+ nits. My TV as far as brightness which is important for HDR is literally 2 times better when doing the exact same thing. Yet I won't compare it to the other tv because it's cheaper. so of course it's not gonna perform like my tv.
You get what I'm getting at?
