And how does this news change that you will be able to play 4k PS5 and Series X games with "old" GPUs on PC?

And who said PC gamers don't want to upgrade to RTX 2080? Some want it, some want even more and many will be fine to use whatever they have using a resolution and graphics settings they feel good with.

And yes, there will be obviously also some who need to upgrade and everyone upgrades from time to time. Some will this year, some next or in two years...not everyone this year who doesn't already have a 2080.

Heck, what do you believe an Xbox Lockhart would do? A machine much weaker than Series X. Just running Xbox One games or what? 

you cannot expect an old weak GPU below 2070/2080  to play on par with PS5/Xbox X graphic visual fidelity 

If you read my PC thread about how 2080 will be a baseline you will see a hypocrite that don't want to upgrade, but latter  they will underestimate consoles.

Xbox Lockhart will be weaker  " if "  it's truly coming out, for now Not even Microsoft confirmed whether they will release it or not. Even if it's come out why would PC Master Race care about Lockhart ??? . PC Master Race need to aim better then top of the line consoles . :) 

Well, maybe you shouldn't always talk about how people below a 2070 Super (or something similar) HAVE to upgrade when in reality you mean they have to upgrade to something similar as what next gen consoles will offer IF they want to experience the same quality. 

But no idea how this would be even a point to talk about. It's not as if someone buys a Toyota and does wonder why it doesn't feel like his neighbor's Bentley. But that doesn't mean that even a Dacia would be enough for him since he can still drive on the same roads just with less horse power and a cheaper interior 

And wtf is your PC Master Race point even about? That is only a very tiny fraction of PC gaming. And no, people who build a PC and don't buy only the best aren't stupid because they could buy a console instead. I explained that already to you in another thread.

There is no "if you want to be cheap the console is the only option". There are many many reasons why someone would prefer a PC with gaming abilities even if it wouldn't be a powerful one.
