Ooooof, I didn't even think about that. Before this gen, all the talk about current-gen consoles was how they would be running at 4K 60fps for most games. With up to 120 fps. Now we get 720p upscaled with a broken 60fps in many cases. Meanwhile I'm still running a PC from 2018 playing pretty much all games at 1440p 60fps on a 2070 Super lol |
Yeah, that was the part they quietly swept under the rug-- because it's still saddled to an aging CPU it's likely not capable of pushing for higher framerate targets. Their whole marketing spiel of 'we wanted to take away the hard choice of these performance modes and give people the best of both worlds', is just bs'ing around the fact that the Pro isn't a complete upgrade across the board, since it's not offering a visuals mode of 4k60 and a performance mode up to 120fps. Instead all it's really doing is fixing the performance of games that were struggling to hit what should be the modern standard of 60fps to begin with. And they're making you pay a fat premium to do it.
Why would I pay that kind of absurd price for a machine that will be outdated a year or two later, when Xbox likely has no choice but to rush out their next-gen machine which will be a full generational leap.
More to the point, why do I have to keep patiently hinging my hopes on these two console platforms that are struggling to put out worthwhile exclusive titles, getting expeditedly more expensive and forcibly moving their users away from physical ownership; all things which contradict the traditional appeal of console gaming.
Sometime after the stretch of games between now and Avowed, the Nvidia 5000 series should be on the market or close to, and I'd much rather pay the premium for a new PC rig rather than stick to machines that are increasingly just lame gaming PCs.
