I'm a console gamer, but PC is looking way more appealing these days. Why?
- Increased Japanese support
- True BC. No guessing games like the console holders
- Free online play
- Emulation options for basically every major platform
- Increased controller support
- Big picture modes
- More accessories -- choice of VR headsets, controllers, and so on.
I never had pleasant experiences with that. Are you using a specific monitor for it? Mine supports free-sync, but I don't have AMD hardware.
Absolutely, but while in previous years games used to have resolution and that's it as graphical options, the vast majority of games now offer in depth customization. Plus well, g/free sync vastly mitigates any sub 60 framerate dips.
The insane thing is that most posters in this thread willingly choose to compromise. Wich is fine. You do you and all. What's less fine is saying that their compromise is the BETTER option.
I'm not sure what the free-sync support is like on Nvidia cards. I've got a g-sync display, and it seems to work very well with most games, though I have had some weirdness with other non-gaming applications.
That's always the way it goes. The ones who are looking for the drama are the ones who actually bring and cause it.
Whatever fits your playstyle best I guess. I don't think there is a BETTER option when talking about PC gaming settings. Some people still play shooters on lowest settings with an insane low resolution. I don't really get the apeal, but sure why not. If you like to play your games this way, you should.
There us no free-sync support for Nvidia cards afaik...
A I see, well I have't used my Pc for gaming since last year November, so there was no support back then.
I didn't notice a huge difference going from 60 to 144 Hz, but playing at high/ultra settings at 60 FPS on my TV with a controller is pretty nice. Destiny 2 in particular is hard to go back to on Xbox. I also leave motion blur on and think it looks good though so what do I know.
If you read the article there's a lot of loops you need to check to use a freesync monitor (out of like 1,000s only a dozen worked automatically) and you need a newer GPU (not just any gsync GPU can work with freesync) and if things aren't working right between the two things it could actually make it look worse. Seems to me you're better off just sticking with a gsync monitor if you don't want to have as much trouble or don't want to bother fussing around?
Disagreed. A good pre-built PC would cost $1000+, and maybe you could build one for cheaper, but it would require getting the parts separately and building yourself (something I'm far to intimidate by to ever attempt, lol). Also, the idea that everyone has a Desktop these days is kinda absurd, isn't it? I don't have one anymore, and I honestly don't know anyone who does outside of businesses and such. They are big, bulky, and expensive.
For me, all I need is to be able to browse the web, check my email, stream some videos, and maybe print out the occasional coupon. My Chromebook, Phone, and Tablets all have that covered. No need for video editing or anything crazy on my end. So I'd be building from the ground up (or rather, buying pre-built), just for gaming. At the very least in my case, it would be a huge expense compared to Consoles (not to mention I would still need a PS4 and Switch and their respective memberships anyway for their exclusives, which I love).
Its diminishing true,but not completely yet. Competitive gaming best experience is still on pc and probably we need another gen or mid upgrade to catch up with the inevitable 240fps .
The rest are pretty much diminishing especially with next gen I'm pretty sure so many sony exclusives will look 10 times better than any pc game on market.
So yee you are right they are. Kinda happy for all people to have close experience to what pc does and it will only make cross platform games easier and easier.

Not really since they invented mITX, but I suppose 700-800 dollars is more than 400.
4k and high frame rate in that resolution is the next step for PC given that 2K has done well but hardware isn't able to hit 4K with the right frames just yet.
