I feel like there's some contradiction in your overall post here, because for one: You're claiming he's downplaying consoles, when all he's doing is posting straight up facts, and you and others seem to take great offence to this, often resorting to the price argument. You then go on to claim that PC can have all the hw in the world, but that it'll never be used in a "meaningful way", but consoles will, claiming like that's a straight up fact and totally not trying to downplay the opposite platform. It goes two ways, not one way, bud. Then at the end, you're tossing in the "I'm from both camps, but totally not bias, not in the way Pem is!", and claim you're excited to see what this tech could do on PC's, yet your earlier comment before states that it doesn't matter what PC packs, because it'll never be realised, according to your own beliefs, so really that ends up contradicting what you say at the end, because going by your logic, this fancy "new" tech will never be "properly" realised on PC, because "devs don't bother pushing PC", and yet Pem has shown us multiple times, even CGI, another mod, has shown us that PC can still be pushed in numerous ways. I just find this so tiresome, because I'm watching multiple folk trying to argue against two knowledgeable mods, one of which actually works with the tech and higher end hw, who actually does know more than most of you on here, but ya'll try to act like you've got 10 degrees worth of wiki knowledge on hw and tech. You're woefully outclassed and yet you refuse to admit this. There's a very valid reason why I hardly bother to contest the two of them, because I myself know and admit that I am not within their league of knowledge, and don't want to just spew pointless jargon. I know those two know what's up, and I respect them for that, I don't know why some of you here cannot see that. |
It has nothing to do with hardware knowledge, its a simple matter of common sense. When Epic says "pc has some catching up to do with Sony's SSD" they're stating a simple fact and dismissing it as just sales talk is a bit easy. Sure, there's always better hardware around the corner on pc and nobody is saying that similar hardware doesn't exist at all for pc. But the fact is that 4x Raid SSD's isn't, and never will be, mainstream on pc.
With catching up, Epic means the time it will take before we can look at the Steam hardware survey and see that over 60% of its users have SSD's with similar speeds in their rigs. Same thing with the gpu as the vast majority of Steam gamers are using a GTX 1060 or lower right now. Obviously that will change over the years when new gpu's hit the market, but in that context, the pc still has some catching up to do.
