I'm all about gameplay and all, graphics aren't primary, but I really wish every game could run 60 fps. I thought that was the whole point of this gen smh. Nothing take me out of a game more than fps drops
Do graphics even matter?

I understand that point, but I think you completely missed my point. PC gamers are notoriously obsessive about graphics. Look at all the settings we have. Look at people with monster rigs with multiple gpus to get all ultra everything at 4K. PC gamers care more about graphics than console players in my opinion
you use Battlefield 4 as an example. Perfect. Thats the point of the "PC Master Race" is that Ps4 is talking shyt to xbox 1 about performance over a game but we on the "PC Master Race" side are justbecause really both games look/play like shyt compared to the PC version.
But you are completely missing the point (as usual) that most the popular games on PC are not graphic intensive at all.

thats you, not the rest of us on this forum. The people in the PC thread pretty much sum of the general population of PC gaming (decent to good computers)
you are the 0.0000001% with your extra shyt in your computer and once again you are comparing what YOU go through and what YOU have issues with or whatever and it jsut isnt the general public opinions...
majority of people dont have good computers, thats why those games listed above are so popular as well, because most computers can run them decent enough. Which makes your entire posts in this thread wrong because if majority of people cared about graphics like that they would upgrade their computers
I am in the minority, but I still think pc people care more about graphics. Even mid-range pcs have better graphics that the consoles and pc gamers love to point that out. The top games are not graphically intensive at all, but you're forgetting about almost every other game. The whole pc community just doesn't play WOW or LOL. Some even buy console ports...
It's disingenuous to say pc gamers don't care about graphics in my opinion. But that's just that, my opinion. You've said in the past that you don't care about graphics, but I still see you say pc games have better graphics in threads. It's a common pc talking point. I dunno why you're trying to say it's not

almost every other game ? Every other game is on steam and doesnt require much of a computer either
I do care about graphics.. but not over game play.. I play shyt like DOTA , World of Warcraft, Rust.. but I also play Battlefield and even bought crysis 3 for $60
my point is we have the option to care about them or not, thats the glory of the PC Master Race 
Fair enough. I still say it's a major pc talking point and it's held over console players heads whenever possible.almost every other game ? Every other game is on steam and doesnt require much of a computer either

But you're right, I'm in the minority with my super high res shyt. But you do have to admit 1440p is catching on (I think you were even thinking of making the jump). Pc gamers have more choice, and therefore are more picky when it comes to graphics. I mean people literally have debates about which AA is better. PC gamers care about graphics

But the Wii U has GREAT graphics.
It's not like you playing an Atari.
Another thing that matters is the type of graphics. Sprites age very well IMO. Older 3d games not so much.

I do. Been doing so since the Genesis days. The PS1 and N64, the Dreamcast especially, and all the Nintendo systems.

I will have to say that the reason I fukk with PC is for a plethora of reasons...Graphics is just one of em...performance...price of games..variety of games...customization and modding...etc etc...u have the best of everything damn near...and I have my WiiU for that pure fun and gameplay experience u can't get on a PC...I play the PS4 the least out of all of em...Fair enough. I still say it's a major pc talking point and it's held over console players heads whenever possible.

Yeah, the Wii U is definitely fun as shyt. Playing these consoles recently, instead of my pc, has just made me re-evaluate my previous focus on all ultra everything.
I'm still very into 3 monitors though. It really does add to the immersion. I'd rather have 3 monitors than 4K at this point. That ultra wide
I'm really looking forward to 3 monitor gaming again once I build my new shyt.spliz

What u doin wit ur old graphics cards?..Yeah, the Wii U is definitely fun as shyt. Playing these consoles recently, instead of my pc, has just made me re-evaluate my previous focus on all ultra everything.
I'm still very into 3 monitors though. It really does add to the immersion. I'd rather have 3 monitors than 4K at this point. That ultra wide
I'm keeping em until I build my new shyt (which will happen as soon as I get my tax return [still waiting on my old job to get off their asses and post my w2]). I plan on selling my shyt off though. I dunno if it makes more sense to sell it as a whole system or piece by piece. Any suggestions?
I want to buy 2 more 1440p monitors. I think I'm gonna go 3x1440p. It will probably take 3 gpus though

i agree 150%
i wouldn't sacrifice gameplay for graphics... but i'll damn sure sacrifice an entire game for some bullshyt graphics
it's like going back and watching tube tv after you just finished with the new 4k... you never knew it was that bad, until you're watching some 1985 movie in bluray like
that's how i feel looking at that skyrim pic... or the new gta pics from PC... like motherfukkers got the same gameplay we got, with 5000% better graphics and higher framerate
now while i'm not gonna pay for that.... it's still some bullshyt that hurts to look at when i spin up 360 skyrim and it looks like some shyt but plays the exact same
Actually duke, 1985 movies in blu ray don't even look bad at all. shyt, Star Wars, Back 2 The Future, Blade Runner, all very good looking old films in blu ray. Now, your comparison woul dbe better said if you were to say looking at those movies or a movie from that era just in standard definition.

no what i was saying was this
playing ps3 gta was great... graphics amazing... until you line it up to the ps4... then you like wait a min... this ain't that great..... then you line it up to the pc... then you like what the fukk is this bullshyt i'm playing on ps3
same way you watch star wars on SD... damn this is great... then you line it up to a bluray and you like, what the fukk i been watching
it's the same content.. but looks so much better.. visuals matter
