Has The Power Gap Between Consoles & PC Ever Been Wider Than It Is Now?

the new amd and rtx 30 series blows these next-gen consoles out of the water at launch

god knows how wide the power gap will be when the next-gen cards come out in 2022-2023.

has there ever been this wide of a power gap between consoles and PC? if so, when?

I'm genuinely curious

We haven’t even see what the next gen consoles are capable of it’s been like 5 months

What we know they are NOT capable of is running native 4k games using high end AA at over 100 FPS like a 3090 can...or even a 3080 can in most games...

The current gen console hardware is not even as powerful as last gen pc gpu powerful...

And that might be fine because there are very few 4k tv's on the market that can even do 120hz to take advantage of 2000 and 3000 series cards anyway...

Again we're here. PCs with graphics cards that are twice as much as an entire consoles. For the graphics card price alone it better be (if you can find one for MSRP,)

The answer is no, it has never been wider, because cards like the 3080 and 3090 that can legit do 4k at 100fps, have never existed before.

You left out the part were PC's can do so much more with those graphic cards other than play games, as well as there are way more pc games that exist that can take advantage of those cards that don't exist on console.

Right. Ionno why PC dukes always wanna chest thump about this. As if you paying anywhere from 2-5 times as much for a piece of tech wouldn't blow the lesser costing tech out of the water. It's supposed to. It'd be one thing if you could build these pcs at the same price or less or just barely more than current hardware. Maybe 5 years from now, you can.

Thing is, to most folks, it doesn't even matter as much and at the end of the day, it's diminishing returns. Sure, it's all cool if you got the money to burn, I suppose. Even then tho, to most the ends doesn't justify the means as far as that goes. Are there even 10 games that are only on PC that are truly flexing all that peddle to the metal on all sides really? Among the top 10 pc games played don't even require all that extra horsepower. And the other funny flipside of this coin is, the average pc gamer aren't even on all this extra flex tip with their rigs anyway. Just a few elitists types of that spend all that money to overcompensate for other areas they lacking.

honestly it's pretty impressive what consoles are able to do considering the hardware they're running. devs are still having to create game that can run on old-gen consoles too.

I just converted one of my brehs onto a pc gamer. He went from a Sony stan to Forgetting about copping a ps5. He aint never experienced that magical 144hz 120fps+ on ultra before
