Here, RX 560 for 99€, which is around 85 British pounds: https://www.alternate.de/ASRock/Radeon-RX560-Phantom-Gaming-2G-Grafikkarte/html/product/1482494?

On the other hand, I couldn't find a 780Ti that wasn't way more expensive than 85 pounds. This might be a regional thing, but in Germany, even a 760 costs 125€ on Amazon.de, with a 780Ti over 150€. At that price point, you're better off buying a 1060 or RX 580 instead and call it a day.

€99+6 postage works out at around 95 or so pounds, CEX charges 1.50 for postage of items so ... yeah it's close to the same price, but again.... you're talking about less than half the performance for more money.

Regardless of your country btw you probably have services there for buying from other countries and delivering them to you, just like... for the UK stores some of them don't ship to Ireland but we've got 2 big companies who will accept packages on behalf of us Paddies from UK stores and forward them on for a lil extra fee, could be worth looking into in case you're limited to certain stores in your region some point down the line.

1060 is a neat enough purchase in 2019 though, performance wise that card is perfectly in line with the best you could get from a older gen 780TI and even the lower end version has the same 3GB of video memory that the 780ti had

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-780-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB/2165vs3646

The one I keep banging on about to people though is that new AMD 5700 or 5700XT, the price point is mid range but it reaches upwards of 1080 in terms of benchmarks, If I was going for an upgrade from my current main PC gpu (a 980TI) I would consider that 5700XT as the next step.

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-5700-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1080/4046vs3603

That's the non xt comparison, the XT is actually 15% faster than the 1080 and yeah... you see the price of those cards on amazon and such https://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerColor-Radeon-5700-Graphic-Card/dp/B07TB5LFGM/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=5700&qid=1569652336&s=gateway&sr=8-4 309 for that, very respectable for what's in the box.

Well, shipping from and to the UK is getting complicated due to Brexit, so I wasn't looking up what the prices are there. In Germany, the 780Ti is totally unavailable, and the last price I saw was 220€, nothing anywhere near 100€ or even 85 pounds. Even used ones on ebay go for over 120€ plus price of delivery (which is generally pretty high on ebay). Hence why I looked for other hardware around that pricetag, and the choices were mostly just RX 550,RX 560 and GeForce 1030 or weaker used hardware, like the 760.

Compare the 780Ti with the RX 580 and the 1060 and you'll see almost exactly the same points on each side, the game benchmarks cancel each other out: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-780-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-580/2165vs3923. But with it's 8GB of RAM it's more future-proof then the other two, especially with the 3GB variant of the 1060.

And I agree on the 5700(XT), they took NVidia by surprise, keeping up with the Super variants of the 2060 and 2070 but at a considerably lower pricetag. The only downside was the lack of non-reference design models at launch, but since then it has really become the cards you should pivot to in the 300-500$/€/£ price range.

Since we've had talk about "games being designed for consoles", David Cage had a recent interview, in which their future games will now be designed with PC in mind:

https://www.onlysp.com/david-cage-quantic-dream-interview-heavy-rain-beyond-two-souls-detroit-become-human/

Also, just to reiterate:

I don't know man. I think consoles will always be were the money is at for developers. Just look at the sales of a game like AC Oddysey. 72% Of it comes from ps4, 26% from Xbox and only 2% from pc.

http://www.vgchartz.com/article/393568/assassins-creed-odyssey-sells-an-estimated-14-million-units-first-week-at-retail/

This is exactly why nobody is making games that truly push the latest pc hardware. I mean the OP was asking for anyone to name a few games that could push his 2080Ti and he's still waiting for an answer. The truth is, those games simply don't exist yet but they will be... as soon as the next gen console games come out. 

How could I miss this post of yours?

Only 2% come from PC... at Retail, which is already 99% digital. Many games don't even get physical releases anymore on PC outside of collector's editions with physical goodies and feelies.

The entire videogame market on consoles, including DLC, subscriptions and the like (but no hardware sales, like consoles or controllers), is worth about 28 billion dollars. The entire videogame market on PC, including DLC, subscriptions and the like (again without hardware sales), is slightly higher, at 29.5 billions. What's more, PC gaming is outgrowing console gaming, which is stalling and not projected to grow past 30 billion before 2020 (the end of the chart), while PC gaming is expected to do so this year and grow to about 34 billions next year. Before 2015, console gaming was bigger than PC gaming, yet the latter has not only catched up, but now overtaken consoles in terms of revenue from games. Here's the data if you want to know more.

Oh, and the reason why nobody makes games to push a 2080Ti is that the 2080Ti only has less than 1% GPU market share. That's like expecting someone to declare developing games exclusively for the Wii U now.

This is also the reason why games, despite consoles having 8 cores, were running just fine on only 4 threads until 2017. When Ryzen entered the scene and made more than 4 cores and double digit threads mainstream and Intel following up with 6 cores, they reached the critical mass to develop for more cores. Before Ryzen that market would have been limited to only core i7 and maybe FX 6xxx/8xxx/9xxx users, which was simply too small and limiting the potential clientele if they didn't optimize for 4 threads.

Are some people still thinking PS5 will compete with a RTX 2080?

I think that's a pretty clear yes, at least reading from goopy's comments here.

Or in other words, they expect a $600+ GPU in a $500 console. A piece of hardware with a TDP of 300W in an console which normally just gets 200-220W TDP total.

Or in short, they don't understand the economics of either consoles or computing in general. Just look my rant above on that part.

We don't even have to click on the URL to see the big flaw in your argument:

"at retail"

Who buys PC games at retail if there is no advantage over the digital version? For the cheap plastic box?

And for the developers and publishers the digital versions are much more profitable (smaller cut for the platform owners than for the retail chain, less transport costs, no resales).

Some PC retail boxes just include a box with a redeemable download CD Key inside that you redeem on Steam. I kid you not. Haha

That is insanely impressive scalability.

I wouldn't be surprised to be honest, that's damn impressive eitherway.

I never once complained about pc component longevity.

But that is your argument when you essentially stated that unless you have a Geforce 2080, that your PC might as well end in the bin.
Do I need to bring more quotes out? Talk about disingenuous...

goopy20 said:

I'm sounding like a broken record but literally the only thing I'm saying is that minimum pc requirements will go up next gen. I know I will not be able to get the same experience on my 1060GTX compared to the next gen console versions and I'm perfectly fine with that. Maybe some games will still run (some no doubt run better than others) but who wants to be gaming like that? If I spend $60 on a game and have it running like this: (AC Oddysey running on a 5850) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLZiJcmi1z0, then for me it would be a clear sign that I'm in need of an upgrade. Even if some games still run fine.

Here we go again... He pulled out another game to try and shift the goal post.

1) Get a Radeon 5870. (He is using a Radeon 5850.)
2) Overclock said Radeon 5870. (Most can do 950/1250 over the stock 900/1225 {Core/Mem} if not more.)
3) Drop settings to low. (Video is using medium.)
4) Drop resolution back to 900P or maybe even 720P (Video is using 1080P, Xbox One is 792P.)
5) Profit.

But you know what is amazing? That a GPU from 10 years ago is running that game at all, there is still room to improve the experience.

I bet a GPU that is a year newer like the Radeon 6970 with it's 2GB buffer would probably be fine running the game at 1080P.
The lesser 6950 (With a heap of Medium settings again):




goopy20 said:

Obviously, next gen games will work fine on lower hypothetical future cards like a 3060RTX, which will likely perform the same as a 2080RTX.

Umm. Think lower than a hypothetical RTX 3060.
RTX 3030/RTX 3050/RTX 3050 Ti... And maybe the RTX 3060. - They will likely all have fillrates and memory buffers that come up short against the RTX 2080, nVidia never makes a high-end GPU a low-end one in a single generation these days.

goopy20 said:

I already said that a minimum requirement of a RX5700/ 2700RTX is pretty steep right now, but 4 years from now those cards will be relics on pc and you can probably buy a used 2070RTX for like $99. 

Doesn't matter what you said.

Let's take Polaris... That released in 2016 as the Radeon RX 480 8GB.
Next year it will be 4 years old... It's still a very capable mid-range part.

AMD later rebadged it as the RX 580, then ported the design over to 12nm, increased clocks and called it the RX 590,  those GPU's are not going to suddenly become incapable of gaming next year.

goopy20 said:

It's also irrelevant if pc has, or hasn't got a better SSD. What's important is that next gen games will be designed from the ground up to take full advantage of SSD, meaning bigger streaming worlds and basically zero load times. This also means that a 1tb SSD will be the bare minimum in the near future.

Umm. The PC is the domain of MMO's. - It has lots of big worlds that get streamed in.. And that was happening before SSD's became mainstream.

But just because you have fast storage doesn't mean you will have zero load times, load times being eliminated is not guaranteed for next-gen, don't drink the propaganda kool-aid being pushed out, it's up to the developers in the end... Just like 1080P/4k on the current consoles.
Games still need to compile shaders, decompress textures and games that use procedural generations... Need to procedurally generate... And such tasks are often held back by the CPU or GPU rather than the storage subsystem and thus a loading screen is still a requirement in some scenarios.

SSD's on PC will be faster than the Playstation 5, in games that are held back by sequential memory transfers into DRAM, the PC will beat consoles... Fast SSD's aren't a replacement for RAM, which the PC also has more of.
In short you can eliminate load times on PC today... When the above aren't factors.

Those are the real facts.

goopy20 said:

Also, things like the ps4 pro and Xbox One X have the same problem that high end pc's are having. Nobody is going to make a game that takes full advantage of the hardware. Instead you get the same games as the base consoles with just some added resolution. Which is nice but really not that noticeable when you're gaming on a tv. That is why I'm hoping that next gen console games will not be targeting native 4k as the new standard. That would be a massive waste of resources. Instead I would much rather see 1080p with a huge boost in overall graphical fidelity.

The Xbox One X and Playstation 4 Pro often only use medium-quality PC equivalent settings... Which don't stray significantly far from the base consoles. - But because their hardware is only mid-range, developers tend to sink all the extra headroom into driving resolution/framerates.

High-end PC's actually get used, they get higher resolutions, higher framerates, better texturing, lighting, shadowing, effects and more.

Next-gen consoles the resolution will be entirely up to the developers, just like this generation, on PC you can choose.

I didn't say anyone should just chug their pc in the bin if they don't have a 2700RTX next gen. I'm saying the minimum requirements will go up to match exactly what will be in these consoles for most major releases in 2021. If you want to play those games in 720p at the lowest settings, then fine. But after all the talk about 120FPS, 4k resolution on triple monitors, it doesn't sound like that is a viable option.

Of course, a RX590 is still a very capable mid-range card, it's basically the gpu that sits inside the Xbox One X. What you seem to be missing, however, is that the ps4 came out 7 years ago and all major games we're seeing right now are designed for the ps4. Keep in mind that the ps4 has a gpu that came out 5 years before the RX590. We will have to see how a RX590 compares to the ps5's gpu, but do you honestly believe the RX590 will be able to keep up? If so then I will be seriously disappointed and the OP still won't have any games that'll really make use of his 2080ti.

Let me just ask you this. What exactly are you expecting from these next gen consoles? Are you expecting any leap at all? I mean, if a 590RX will be fine next gen, then please explain to me why anyone would wanna buy the next Xbox, when the Xbox One X already has a RX590 in it? You're basically saying that MS doesn't even need to release a new console as they already have the Xbox X on the market for 2 years now...

Thanks for the suggestion.. will definitely give Pavlov a try.  I've played firewall zero hour quite a bit on psvr, so I'm excited to see how different room scale and body tracking works vs using a ps aim.  Would be awesome if someone could get the ps aim working with pcvr... Some "guns" are rediculously overpriced and others available look like doo.

Also.. finally seeing this screen door effect thing more prominent in the HTC Vive than psvr.  It goes away once immersed in a game, but is it due to higher quality pixeling?  Psvr blurs a bit so screen door not so apparent..  do like how on the Vive, it is easier to read texts and graphics are definitely a step up..

Unemployed "bums" are forced to do "work for the dole" and usually get paid $277.85 - $300.55 a week.
They are also required to apply for a fixed amount of jobs per week.

That might seem like allot of money and they are living it easy... But that is far from reality.

The cost of living is proportionally greater than it seems... For example rent alone can take the entire lot of that payment with average apartment rental rates  being anywhere from $295-$550 depending on city you live in.

Those on a disability pension pull in $463.10.. And they will be assessed on their working capacity and if they are deemed able to work... Will be forced to do so.

And some forms of welfare actually save the Government money.. As you know we have a Universal Healthcare system, it's much cheaper to put someone on say... A Carers Pension to look after someone aged/disabled and keep them out of the health system than it is to put someone into full time, professional care/home.

...Economically it has done well for us as well. Unlike say... Tax cuts for the top 1% of town, everyone in the bottom 20% tend to spend all of their income, so it's money being more readily circulated in the economy, various business profited greatly from it, Radio Rentals for instance was a big benefactor here in South Australia for instance.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-20/radio-rentals-reaps-$90-million-in-centrelink-payments/6333690

Rest assured, those with 10 children are the exception and not the norm.

The big expense of welfare isn't parents anyway or those who abuse the system or even those who don't want to work or whatever... It's actually seniors/aged/elderly on their pensions.
https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/BriefingBook45p/WelfareCost

Not sure if laws have changed or not, but I knew people on welfare, who paid like $100 a week for a 3 bedroom house for the department housing they were given. They also were given a concession card for health care and other public services.

As for work for the dole scheme that we now have, I have had some employers say they lie about the person doing work for the dole. The main reason is because it is easier for them to say that then to deal with them on site as they tent to waste time and create more work then the original work is intended to do.

I am not against the dole in principle, but when you can clearly see that some people don't try to get out of that cycle, then something needs to be done. However I don't think it will be as it is easier to create welfare suburbs and ship the problem out of mind and out of site. Give them enough cash not to cause trouble (ie reduce crimes like breakins) and it isn't a problem.

Hopefully the pension problem will reduce over time as now we have super funds to offset 100% reliance on government payments.

It's what game publishers write on the back of the box. You honestly believe they would lock out a huge slice of potential customers just for fun and giggles? Like I said, they write it so customers don't cry in outrage about lackluster porting and demand refunds if their game runs like donkey poo on anything below the minimum requirements.

Funny how you didn't reply to the rest, though, as I'm actually dying to know if you expect any leap from these next gen consoles at all? Also, please explain to me why anyone would want to buy the Scarlett when the Xbox One X already has a RX590? A gpu, you say is more than capable of running these next gen games.

Let's check the first months of the last console launch: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-the-best-pc-hardware-for-the-witcher-3

The official Witcher 3 system requirements are pretty steep: the minimum is a Core i5 2500K, 6GB of RAM and a GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870, while the recommended spec sees a jump to an i7 3770, GTX 770 or Radeon R9 290 and 8GB of RAM. Our minimum spec is a Core i3 4130/FX 6300 with GTX 750 Ti - much, much lower, but you get a PS4-level experience using the settings in this guide.

So it's an RTX 2700 now? One thing is for sure... You are consistent at being inconsistent.
Yes, minimum requirements will go up next gen.

No, you will not need an RTX 2080.
No, you don't have to game at 120fps, 4k resolution or triple monitors, that isn't what "minimum" means.

Clearly you haven't been reading or paying attention to the evidence presented in this thread if that is the false conclusions you have come up with.

What you seem to be forgetting is that the Radeon 7870 which is a GPU found in the Playstation 4 is able to play the bulk of PC games at Playstation 4 levels of image quality.

I was using the Radeon 5870 as an example of old PC's playing newer games just fine, a GPU that predates the Playstation 4 and Radeon 7870, please, read the information and evidence presented instead of blatantly ignoring it.

The Radeon RX 590 is a very capable mid-range card, like you said. - And it's very comparable to the GPU in the Xbox One X, but it's also a GPU that is significantly inferior to a Geforce RTX 2080, which you claim will be the minimum requirement when next-gen consoles launch.

The RX 590 isn't going to become suddenly useless overnight because next-gen consoles launched, it will still be capable of running the latest games, just at reduced visual settings, that is the entire point of this discussion, that you don't need to upgrade to the latest and greatest to have a good gaming experience.

I mean, if a 590RX will be fine next gen, then please explain to me why anyone would wanna buy the next Xbox, when the Xbox One X already has a RX590 in it? You're basically saying that MS doesn't even need to release a new console as they already have the Xbox X on the market for 2 years now...  

Next-gen's biggest benefits aren't all tied up in the shiny new GPU, the current generation consoles launched with terrible CPU's and only average amounts of RAM.

But Ray Tracing is next-gens trump card on the visual front, people will buy the latest and greatest console just for that.

I don't think you understand what minimum requirement means, and also 120 fps at 4k isn't minimum, just putting that out there. :) 

It's what game publishers write on the back of the box. You honestly believe they would lock out a huge slice of potential customers just for fun and giggles? Like I said, they write it so customers don't cry in outrage about lackluster porting and demand refunds if their game runs like donkey poo on anything below the minimum requirements.

Funny how you didn't reply to the rest, though, as I'm actually dying to know if you expect any leap from these next gen consoles at all? Also, please explain to me why anyone would want to buy the Scarlett when the Xbox One X already has a RX590? A gpu, you say is more than capable of running these next gen games. 

No game publisher has written the minimum hardware requirements for 4k, 120fps on the back of a PC box, ignoring the fact that PC game boxes generally don't exist anymore anyway... Haha

The RX 590 and Xbox One X will both be capable of running next-gen games for several years until we transition from 8th to 9th gen, just like how it took a few years to transition from 7th gen to 8th gen and how it took a few years to transition from 6th gen to 7th gen.

I think you have confused me with the previous guy you were having a discussion with.

I just wanted to add the comment on Minimum Requirement because you keep talking as if 4K 120fps is minimum, when it isnt. 

I personally think that from the way you are partaking in this discussion that you are approaching this all with a pretty closed mind and not really reading what everyone is trying to take the time to explain to you. Which is also the primary reason I only commented briefly regarding the minimum requirements part.

I am impressed. 

Get Pavlov VR. Community is very strong with this one and the dev team recently grow bigger. It's still getting an awesome wave of support. 

I would also appreciate you to learn how to play in some bot matches and figure out on how to plant the bomb, because I still see a lot of newcomer who go multiplayer and don't know how to enter the code shown on the top left corner of the display on the bomb. 

Thanks for the suggestion.. will definitely give Pavlov a try.  I've played firewall zero hour quite a bit on psvr, so I'm excited to see how different room scale and body tracking works vs using a ps aim.  Would be awesome if someone could get the ps aim working with pcvr... Some "guns" are rediculously overpriced and others available look like doo.

Also.. finally seeing this screen door effect thing more prominent in the HTC Vive than psvr.  It goes away once immersed in a game, but is it due to higher quality pixeling?  Psvr blurs a bit so screen door not so apparent..  do like how on the Vive, it is easier to read texts and graphics are definitely a step up.. 

Not a fan of the "guns" stuff. As far as I know, Firewall Zero Hour was pretty simple in term of controls where reloading and stuff is all done by button controls. 

In Pavlov for example, or most FPS games in VR with proper controls, you have to do every task on your own. Meaning after emptying your gun, you release the magazine with a trigger or take it out with your hand (depends on gun), take a new mag out of your ammo pouch, insert it and load the first bullet in. Try do that in heated combat without dropping your gun ;)

There is a newer version than what is shown in this video. They added a very heavy gore system and new weapons. Did a lot of enhancements.

Regarding the screen door effect, I also got the Vive, and that was kinda bothering me where I went for the Vive Pro and it's barely noticeable now. Everything looks way sharper and it's also easier to read text in game. Also, the better your GPU the higher the rendered resolution for you vive. So it tries to get the best image output possible.
