Fucking shrinkflation coming to electronics? Damn.
Just consoles! You can still prowl ebay for computer parts and build something basically just as good for like 200 bucks.
I thought most equivelant gpus to the ps5 start around $200 on their own.
Where we're going we don't need equivalent gpus
terraria music begins playing
Given that baltoro, monster train, and now silk song have been my most played games recently, you might be on to something.
Fuck yeah, low hardware requirements gaming gang
You may be able to get a used 3070 for around $200. That doesn't include the rest of the computer though.
As good as PS5 for $200? Yeah, no.
To be clear, I'm not saying "as powerful" when I say "as good." A cheap old gaming PC can already play about 90% of games ever released, so why would I care about the AAA games from the last 5 years that demand newer hardware for no real reason? Terraria, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Minecraft, Cuphead, saints row 3, half life 2, portal 2, DOOM (1990s original games with mods), Crysis, Shovel Knight, etc. all have cheap as hell minimum requirements and look great. I won an auction for a laptop for 100 bucks (65 including my bid and shipping, though the charger was another 20, and the setup from scratch would include the price of mouse i used to about 100 bucks altogether) off Ebay that could play all the games listed above (except for skyrim, fo4, and maybe cuphead cause I didn't test that game. It ran Crysis on low settings surprisingly well.)
