Just upscale and use AI , not like they'll notice!

Cool. 2tb NVME drive, no messing about with drivers, controller included, no RAM, no motherboard, no PSU, no CPU, why is this a bad thing again?

>look up RTX5060Ti
>it's the same price as a PS5 Pro
Jesus Christ what has happened with the GPU market.

>>715060706
>this is your brain on snoyism

pctroons are literally mindbroken

>>715060706
Did you buy an empty PS5 case with a 2TB NVME drive rattling around inside it?

When these devices get so expensive not having ability to install a regular desktop OS becomes a big issue
Why would anyone buy that level of hardware if its arbitrarily blocked from doing things that the hardware can do just fine. The fucking things pricetag isn't even subsidized, then you have to be locked in to their store? What.

>>715061732
Bitcoin and AI 1-2 combo.
Gamers never really stood a chance.

>>715061732
Crypto mining
Chip shortage during covid that allowed them to boost prices, and never went back down
UE5 used for every game with shit performance necessitating a strong gpu
Ray tracing forced down your throat because devs can't be arsed to bake lighting anymore
DLSS slop required to get decent framerate

>>715062427
>>715062789
But this is a xx60 series card it's shit both for mining and AI there is no reason for this kind of price.

still cheaper than an RTX 5060 TI on its own. Why the fuck would I bother with PC gaming in 2020+5?

>>715062401
PS5 Pro comes with 2TB

>Digital foundry
Industry shills, they say whatever they're paid to say

>>715063276
I am pretty sure a normal PS5 Pro also comes with RAM, a motherboard, a PSU and a CPU. You clearly don't have that.
Even Sony wouldn't sell you an empty plastic box.

>>715062401
The Pro comes with a 2TB SSD in the package and Astrobot

>>715062897
Card makers realized the cattle is willing to pay that price

>>715059560 (OP)
>about 400,- gpu
>add 250 cpu
>100 ram
>100 for case
>80 for psu

>+-100 for storage
>1280,-
LMAO THEY GOT THAT FOR 800 BUCKS LOOOOL.

pc fags, our hobby is expensive, bang for buck is still on console.
>but muh steam sales
Outside of first party exclusives, the prices are really close on sales
>but muh piracy
Lol, enjoy that 1 game a year

>>715062897
Ok look, there are two reasons
1:
People got the xx90s for both so the price has increased
it increased so much that buying xx80s and connecting then was cheaper than buying xx90s. And that has gone down the stack
2:
They are made of the same materials using the same process. Selling xx60s for $200 made no sense when they could have made and sold xx90s for 2k.
With the price any lower making the xx60s GPUs wouldn't make any sense business wise, we are competing with business clients for the fab time.

>>715061732
consoles are sold at 0% profit with the exception of Nintendo Switch
GPU are sold at fuck huge profit margin

>>715060706
Uhhh your PS5 has all those things you mentioned anon.

>>715059560 (OP)
It's actually physically painful GTA 6 stuck on Playstation. I'm gonna pirate that shit out of spite because of this, fuck rockstar and take 2

>>715063503
Not even Sony does that shit anymore after the PS3 flopped. That's why they're selling digital only consoles and disc drive is "optional" but expensive

>>715059560 (OP)
I bought my 6nm Xbox series x for $499 before MS hiked up the price and I love it, I’m sick of the PC tweaking fuckery and expensive components, oh and also everything just werks.

>>715063716
If you’re a real games you honestly at minimum have a pc and a ps5 so you can play all games. I really just use my pc for random vns and indie games then my ps5 got all main games

>>715063716
Anon, stop, Xbox is dead, it's a worthless platform at this point.

>>715060889

He meant you don't have to shell out money for any of those things because they are included.

>>715064073
Works on my machine, xbox 4 life. The only thing i'd switch to form xbox is pc. ps literally has nothing but cinematic walking sim slop.

Anon?

>Why the fuck would I bother with PC gaming in 2020+5?
Because it's better and gives you way more options and freedom. It's for people who do not just want to passively consume things.

>>715064125
You don't have to do that for a PC either, you can just buy a shitty prebuilt from fucking Dell. It's a retarded and meaningless thing to say all around. You are literally paying for those parts, because they are part of the product and needed for it to function.

>>715059560 (OP)
Imagine buying this piece of trash and then paying for access to the internet that you already paid for, being unable to install mods, or literally anything apart from games that cost 10 bux more than on pc. Couldn’t be me.
>t.7900xtx chad

>>715061732
consoles are subsidized. you're expected to pay up the difference via retard tax
>>715062160
>>715062313
I believe consolewarring was against the rules

>>715065782
>via retard tax
Sony takes 15%. Valve 30%. Who is paying the retard tax here?

>>715068575
>store cut
that's not the retard tax
you'd know if you weren't a retard
