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 :youngsabo:



Steam's pc survey: Steam Hardware & Software Survey
Seems like my PC is future proofed based on this video.


I want a mandatory 60FPS on every game since they have all this power to play with on PS5.

I've been on PC for 4 years and I've never had to play at less than 60FPS period. If you're going to make the jump this far and still not prioritize frame rate then something is wrong here.

Prepare to be mad then :francis:

But I agree. I'd take sacrificing some graphical fidelity for Framerate too :yeshrug:

I think some of the options that first party devs were giving mid-gen with the "prefer performance/resolution" is a good sign for the upcoming gen. I don't see it being offered from 3rd parties unfortunately.

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

Console stans really tried em. :wow:

Most PC gamers are running on integrated graphics or 1060s at best. To even get to next gen console level the cards costs as much as the system.

If you got though dough though :blessed:

Zen 3 and RTX 3000 is mine along with the PS5 All Digital :mjlit:

PC gamers keep missing the point.

Console gamers want something that just works and is guaranteed to work with a push of a button for the next 10 years.

We don't want to play the cat and mouse catch up game. We don't want to have to worry about tweaking the correct settings just to play.

This is someone who grew up playing peer to peer multiplayer on Duke Nukem and Rainbow 6 Rogue Spear and Age of Empire on Game Spy. I'm an OG!!!!!!!!
