Soundwave said: And a $10,000 home theater will sound better than a $1000 sound bar ... if you put them side by side. It will actually a bigger difference than GPU classes. The thing is most people still are not spending that kind of money on a home theater. "I have a 4090 card to show side by side with every game!" is not a normal use case for 99% of people. Most people don't give a shit about that lol. |
You are finally right on something. A nice home theater crushes a cheap soundbar.
And no, low and high are not similar. Anisotropic, texture quality, volumetric, particles, shadows, lighting and reflections are much stronger on higher settings. Add in more fps at a higher resolution.... night and day. Sadly I think you know this but simply don't want to admit it.
Most people don't care, which is a goalpost move. The question isn't if people care. The question was, is there an immediate and large difference, which is "yes."
Personally I don't blame people for not caring. High end electronics isn't cost effective. I don't have a high end car, but I'm not going to pout and claim a Ford focus and high BMW are the same because stupid reasons.
