Ha, I remember that video, I still can't believe it to this day.
TBH going for a PCIe 4 driver over Gen 3 would push the cost up for no appreciable difference.
Yeah absolutely nothing beats a console price/performance. My PS5 cost me $500, no extra purchase necessary. My PC(which is granted, high end with an intel 10850k and 3080) cost me $2500 just for the PC. Then I had to buy peripherals and a decent 1440/144 monitor and my total cost was up over 3 grand.
This too. He does address the price differences but only in passing (which is another mark against it, honestly).
I have my PC connected to my OLED TV. Who said you had to have a monitor to be a PC gamer?
This guy must be pulling people's leg with that statement lmao, mid range pc from 5 years ago, now that's something lol.
Yes you don't need a screen for a console. Also no you're categorically wrong. The vast majority of Pc gamers don't run super expensive systems. They're budget gamers.
Of course the 4k mode averages that much. In 120 fps mode the game runs at 3840x2160 interlaced, which is still very demanding, and definitely much more demanding than even 1440p. I fully believe GN did this intentional to get clicks, and even if they didn't, there's no excuse whatsoever when you can search on Google at what res these games run so you can cross reference. And I can't wait for the follow-up video in which Steve is undoubtedly gonna say that no one really knows at what res these games run and that they chose a realistic resolution or some shit like that to save face. I really hope I'm wrong, but GN is turning into LTT2 at this point so smugness is all I'm expecting. Which is a damn shame, because that video might mislead someone into buying hardware that they think is capable of the experience that they want, when it's clearly not.
the same applies to PS5, as if you can easily buy one at MSRP right now.
My monitor cost quite a bit more than my 4K tv, and virtually everyone already owns a TV
Because most people own one already.I literally have never met a single person that doesn't own a tv.
Isn't the ps5 gddr6?For 4K this is way more accurate than Steve's assessment (Gamer Nexus)
You could probably trim off $150 from this build (3060 Ti should be $400, don't really need extra case fans, and the price of the motherboard shouldn't really be that close the the CPU, probably another $150 off once the 3050 Ti is announced), but the point does still stand. This console gen has really good price-perf for gaming, and that's before considering scarcity in the market.For 4K this is way more accurate than Steve's assessment (Gamer Nexus)
As somebody who has gotten multiple Ampere GPUs, PS5s, and a Zen 3 processor, this is most certainly not true. The PS5 is insanely hard to get unless you get lucky in a Direct queue, and the DE may as well not exist.
GDDR is VRAM, the kind a GPU uses, while DDR is DRAM, the sticks you click into your motherboard. IDK what DRAM the PS5 uses, if any, but all Ampere cards use GDDR6 VRAM or better (not that it actually matters that much).
Sure, if they made 2 million consoles and sold it for $1 then its a $1 console. 2 million is certainly higher than whatever number of 3xxx FE cards Nvidia managed to make. You guys make the DE sound like its some ultra rare single run special edition.
You understand you are comparing a product with a variant, selling at lower price point in extremely limited quantity, against a single line product with fixed MSRP right?
Hasn't stopped people from calling them a $700 and $500 cards. The fact that they're extremely limited and been perpetually OOS, and yet still quoted at those prices by all the media tells you how absurd it is to deny the $400 price point of PS5.
Its truly bizarre.
I hope you are not referring to cards from different manufacturers using different clockspeed and cooling solutions
