>spend 5x or more the cost of a console to get a 10% improvement in graphics

why do people do this?

>>717441476 (OP)
You also get a PC

visuals are not that important to me compared to the gameplay and the story and music.

>>717441476 (OP)
I spent 5x the cost of a console so I never have to buy another pc component again, while you still have to keep buying a new console + another online subscription to actually play any games on it

this is literally you right now

yeah and it's always for boring photorealism, the art direction is boring yet they're obsessed with these silly details

AAA devs are retards

5070ti plus any office pc you can find costs at most $1100

x3d cpus, 32gb ram and 2tb nvmes are all memes and shouldn't be in your budget

>>717441985
>5000 dollars
even the most expensive consumer components on the market only add up to 3000 at most and that's assuming that you don't try to get everything at a lower price when possible
besides, there are other things to do with a pc that you can never do with your console, like 3d rendering cute and funny kids, it's better to wait 20 minutes than 20 hours

You're glossing over the 600% increase in performance.

>>717441476 (OP)
I spent 1100 dollars on my pc, it plays pretty much every game just fine and i saved 1000s more pirating

>>717442728

>>717441476 (OP)
I bought my Lenovo PC for $150 on craigslist, plus $50 on an improved graphics card. Works great and I definitely don't need a console or high-end PC, though I don't play nu vidya and am not a gamer.

>>717442728
im just saying its stuff like gameplay and story and music that makes me care about a game not how good it looks. Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask are more memorable and engaging than BOTW and TOTK to me. Same with Metal Gear solid 1,2 and 3 vs Metal Gear Solid V or Resident Evil 1,2,3 and 4 vs 7 and Village.

>>717442404
I have a 5800X3D and it is a meme unless you're playing competitive games at 1080p

>>717442887
You need to update your jokes. Just try and get the bottom to run at 4K. If you can achieve it the devs will want to hire you. Native is verboten, 100% scaling isn't 100% anymore, all pixels are temporally resolved and upscaled. This is the future we have been chosen to live in. You will pay more for less.

>>717443592
A 9070 XT runs it at 60fps just fine. You're thinking of Path Tracing at 4k which the PS5 couldn't even dream of running anyway.

>>717443526
nigger what's your point here?

Literally impossible.

>>717442424
With modern poojeet developers? lol yeah right faggot.

Poorfags always lose.

>>717446486
just add some case fans for extra airflow and you can turn down your gpu fans to minimum
alternatively remove the shitty gpu fans and replace them with a couple 120s that can permanently sit at idle speeds while retaining the same temperature
good luck!

>>717441476 (OP)
Praisimg Alan Wake 2 is like praising a polished turd. The gameplay and story are great but its terrible when it comes to optimization and looks like blurry shit because if you dare turn up the graphics the fps is terrible even on the best gpus at the time. Doesnt help that the games has old, blurry and inefective framegen.

>>717445083
I am more than happy to pay one United States quarter of a dollar per day for the ability to filter disgusting shitskin PCpoors out of my online experience. It brings me incredible joy to know that I don't have to deal with cheating mutts because they can't afford anything better than a shitty laptop they stole off a tourist who accidentally passed through their favela while observing the turdie animals on vacation.

>>717446881

>>717446224
>>717446269
hey pclard just letting you know: you won't play gta6 at launch on your $5k pc

>>717447023
For sure, but the fps count goes to 20fps on average gpus. Screenshots look good, but actual gameplay is blurry.

>>717446881
it's one of the most graphical intensive games there is

>>717447029
that's okay, I'll keep playing San Andreas on my ps2

>I spent 5x the cost of a console so I never have to buy another pc component again
This doesn't work. Spending the most you can possibly spend will never be forever, there will come a time where it can't run new releases at all anymore. Someone that spent the most they could spend back when the 980 was brand new now cannot run games at all. It will happen to your 5080 as well.

>>717446580

Lol this meme sucks

>>717447443
>there will come a time where it can't run new releases at all anymore
except it never will for two reasons
1. silicon has its limits
2. they will never let you own enterprise hardware or make games around it because it's not made for gaming
once you have a 5090 that's it, you won't ever need to buy another gpu again, unless you want the extra vram from the RTX 6000 blackwell card but that costs 10k so it's not really worth it unless you're some sort of ultimate gooner
hardware has hit its limits and devs will either have the option to learn how to program again and start optimizing or go bankrupt because noone wants to play their lazily thrown together trash

Maybe somebody here can help me with settings in this game. Sometimes the lighting goes really fucking stupid for me, like the flashlight being so bright I can't read whatever I'm aiming at on the wall, or a source just being a direct beam instead of proper diffusion stuff.
Is there a toggle or hardware issue that'd cause that?

>>717445083

I play on top end hardware for one reason
I like to play at 60fps at 1080p at the very least with ultra settings

Consoles, due to how unoptimized the games are nowadays, often go below this

I can brute force that with a 5090

also technically I'm self employed so the computer is considered an asset of the company and thus gets taken out of tax first. Every two years I get a brand new 6k machine taking out of tax I'd pay

>>717441476 (OP)
I honestly like the top one more. Bottom is just for screen shots. But when actually playing the game, your focus needs to be on your task and not pulled away by shit like that puddle.

Which, by the way, is also less realistic than the top picture. Puddles aren't mirrors. They aren't perfectly flat glass. Water is in constantly motion from the slightest hint of a breeze or rain droplet. And the ripples would last for like 10 minutes before it calmed down completely. The top picture is more likely what you'd see.

>>717441476 (OP)
I have a capable PC and I've never even turned on Raytracing because of this shit. It looks like ass. The PS5 picture looks like a more enjoyable game.

I cant believe nobody brought up mouse + keyboard. Even if console got better frames and graphics because my PC is dogwater, I would still prefer PC because I dont have to aim with my thumb.

I was thinking about getting death stranding 2, but then I found out it does not have m+kb support, which is fucking wild because the first game supports it. If a game requires me to shoot things I refuse to play it on a controller.

>>717447145
it looks just like the fucking remaster or control come on.

>>717445083
Its either trolling or sunk cost fallacy. Anyone who has ever dabbled with a PC in their lifetime knows its unarguably better in almost every use case

>>717441808
Just an example of a technical limitation creating a more visually pleasing style. Most of the time, absolute photorealism isn’t going to be the most aesthetic option.

I pity the consoletards who have to pay for their console, game, Internet connection, and then an additional service to play online (lmao). Meanwhile my 12 year old can play basically every game from every console and I don't have to pay extra to play online. Oh and it's fully upgradable too. Lil consoletards don't understand. Maybe one day their brains will fully develop and they'll see the light lol
