Digital Foundry: Next-gen consoles have a better GPU than 98% of PC gamers in the Steam PC survey

[Mike809]

A lot of pc elites be bragging about 2080 super ,when in reality only a tiny percent of pc gamers have a card like that.Most PC gamers have mediocre builds to play games that aint very demanding specs-wise or play games at a low graphical setting. This is coming from someone who does have a 2080 super

Seems like my PC is future proofed based on this video.

[itsyoung!!]

you might not be great at math here

Steam has passed 1 billion total accounts, which rather real or alt accounts or fake accounts, they still take account of the pc specs going for or against

2% of 1 billion is 20 million PC's just on Steam -- PS5 wont sell 20 million units out the gate

not everyone uses Steam (only 100 million active users a month. League of Legends, which doesnt use Steam, has 115 million active users a month alone)

Blizzard, which has the most popular game of all time in World of Warcraft, does not use steam.

Majority of GTA 5 users use the Epic loader or the Rockstar loader for the game, not steam.

Majority of Playstation users will still be using PS3 and PS4 for years to come. Only a small % will get PS5 on release or even the first few months. Why is this never reported this way? People expect PC users to upgrade every 2-4 years but allow console users to upgrade every 10+ years

Not only that, the 1000 series of nVidia cards came out few years ago, so many skipped the 2000 series, to wait for the 3000 series coming out this year. Its called skipping a cycle, probably the most common thing among Pc builders, because we are smarter consumers. Even then the 2000 series of nVidia cards has still sold millions

@itsyoung!!

im playing on my high end PC, right now, that will out perform PS5, are you playing on your PS5 right now?

 

[itsyoung!!]

which came out years ago, and out performed the PS4 by a lot, right...

Pc users aint allowed to upgrade? im confused here on the logic being used on this

The average pc user doesnt upgrade to a 2080 super. Those upgrading from a gtx 1060 will just upgrade to another budget card.

theyll upgrade to a 3060 RTX which will be stronger than whats in the PS5, you are correct.

This has happened two generations in a row since in thr introduction of steam.
The vast majority of people don't have the discretionary income to just slap together a high end gaming PC.

There's no doubt in my mind that there are people with PC's that can't even compete
with Ps4 pro/Xbox One X let alone Xbox Series X and Ps5.
