I would like to welcome the many many many new PC players who will be abandoning consoles
$2000 GPUs.
Steam deck is a good reasonably priced alternative for people wanting to switch
The rough equivalent of the PS5 GPU (~40 CUs of RDNA2) is the RX6700 XT at ~300 dollars. Pricing has not been great but let's not exaggerate lol
Wow my 5700 XT was $600 lol. God prices were garbage back in the day.
2019/2020 was a poor year from a price/longevity perspective, yeah. All of us who got a GPU around those days didn't necessarily get the best deal. I'm satisfied with what I got out of my 3060Ti but I feel that many wouldn't be.
I don't mention 2021 because, well, you know, it's not like you could even find one so
Yup I still have that 5700XT and it’s perfectly capable for nearly every game I enjoy today. I haven’t seen a reason to upgrade just yet.
I swiped a 3070ti for 400 and it wrecks the PS5 (not saying the PS5 is bad by any means!)
Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.
Or 1 year of ps plus max or whatever the hell bulkshit marketing terms they use.
lol, most ps owners don’t use ps plus and it’s not one of the highlights of the systems. Being able to play Spider-Man 2. Now that’s a highlight. They pump out amazing exclusives that far surpass anything from Xbox which keeps them very viable without ps plus being as competitive as gamepass is.
The exclusives were how I used to justify a PS, but now that they are coming to PC after a year it makes that decision harder to justify. Particularly because they usually look better on PC and mods can be used, so as long as I can stand to wait I usually have a better experience on PC.
I'm not sure I'd buy another console.
