Happens every gen loll. People forget or ignore what the purpose of PC is and only focus on how it compares in price to performance for gaming compared to consoles. Some people think that because a PC can cost $1000 and the console costs $500 with similar performance that suddenly, PC offers no value.

It's always funny to see because even if you only focus on gaming, PC claws it back by having free online, by giving you extensive gaming features that are only do able on PC. You look at how many people get worked up about whether or not previous gen game will be compatible with their next gen console... Meanwhile PCs can not only play games from 2 decades ago, ironically it can play old console games through emulation. Then you have mod support. Yea consoles get very limited mod support that has to pass Sony's/MS's screening where as PC is like, nude mods? Mario Mods? Whatever mods? Fuck yea!

The list goes on with universal controller support, family sharing, competitive digital stores, bundles, free games every month, upgradablity, various form factors like laptops and portables, etc

Not to mention when the next gen gpus, cpus and etc do come out in a few months, reality will strike

And it's always the god damn price argument lol. Like I've watched people like Jaytech (the Sony fan) and Colteastwood (Xbox fan) both using the price argument each and every time, as if it's some magical end all card. Notice how it's always the GPU cost, never what performance it brings, let alone any other part and that's what really bored the fuck out of me, like we all know how it goes "y-yeah PC is good, but it's hella expensive, because I say so, so that makes PC maybe a 50/50 machine" (not y'know, 80/10 or even 90, ebcause of all the shit it can do).

Oh yeah, I forgot PC is now the last bastion for free online, since Ninty charges now, which means huge savings over time of not having to pay an extra fee. Also mods providing free content.

What really gets me though, is the punters who still think PC's are all about driver issues up the wazoo. I've only had one issue that's driver related, but that's Planetside 2, and that's an old 2012 game, that was never really well optimised for PC to begin with (SoE, oh gee, what a surprise).

I believe new Ryzen CPU's, new SSD's, a new GDDR6 RAM and new GPU's with DLSS 2.0 are just gonna bring PC to new heights, and that's not some shitty [insert brand name here] marketing hype, it's what will actually happen. 

The funny thing about price is because modern PC landscape is so competitive, I'd speculate that we will have lower prices faster than ever. Before you had AMD essentially out of the picture in the CPU front while being decently competitive in the GPU front. These days they are hella competitive in the CPU front and we can only hope they will be pretty competitive with their upcoming GPUs as well.

They did release that 1600 AF for $85 which was essentially a 2600. I wouldn't doubt if they release 2600 AF which would essentially be a 3600 for a similar price. We will see how GPU pricing goes but I doubt Nvidia is going to get a free pass this time around.

And yea, I can't remember the time when I had a driver issue with any of my computers or laptops. Most things pretty much just work. My only issue in maybe the last 3-4 years was trying to get my 3900X working with my Asus Crosshair VI Hero x370 as that was a pain but I knew it would be going into it. But once I got it going, boom, no more issues.
