VALVE says most PC gamers' rigs can't touch next gen consoles, OH NO!

Aside from YS, all anime games suck. Just a fact of life.

This reminds me of that time I tried to play portal and CS:S on a 2004 compaq computer..oh the humanity! 

man, I miss SquareSoft so much... :(

might well be due to the fact that there has been little need to upgrade for around 8 years? :s

Next console launch will change that for a few years. I know alot of people holding off buying a new pc to gauge what exactly the consoles are in real world performance, and then buying the new pc.

Not really odd considering that most games are either multiplat or indie, PC exclusives have specific target audiences typically and those tend to be the ones with the beefier PCs.

So when the requirement for most games go up, people will spend money, and likely not before that. Heck my old PC is still in use (donated it to a hardpressed friend) and it still performs over expectations in most games, and that be an old Intel C2D 3.0 Ghz.

What surprises me somewhat is that a relatively big amount of people have above console specs allready.

What I find funny is the pira...hermits *its old but I don't care* have these powerful PCs and there will never be a PC exclusive that takes advantage of the power because PC games have to work on such a wide range of HW variations.

The only one that ever approached it was crysis and that was only cause crytek programmed it horribly.

Talk big but have tiny swords...

Well I'm mildly entertained.

I didn't take the survey...

I believe I took it once a long time ago back when I used to rock a GTX 260.  I haven't taken it since I got a GTX 670.

So following what VALVe says, about 10+ million hermits have PC's with the same power as next-gen consoles and right now 0 people have next-gen consoles, so that means hermits won. Plus it takes 2-4 years for MS and Sony to even get a 10 milllion user base and most hermits will upgrade when the new consoles release because of the new games, no one really needs a PC as good as a PS4 when 99% of games run with way less on Ultra graphics settings.

Oh no, my GTX680 is going to cry...NOT!!!

1. Arma 2, Arma 3, Star Citizen, Rome 2 and then there are the thousands of multiplats like Crysis 3, Watch_Dogs, BF4, Metro:Last Light etc

2. Crysis was graphics king for many years, everything war real-time and it still looks better than most games that have been coming out lately

so no, it's not horribly programmed but keep making excuses, people love laughing at you.

I can still play the Best version of Skyrim with Ultra Settings and Modded. so I'm good, but I will need to upgrade soon.

To be fair, PC gaming's flexibility allows anyone to spend as little or as much on hardware as they want. I don't see this as a compromise at all - not everyone needs an SLI rig powering a triple monitor setup. Sometimes, the laptop from work will suffice, at reduced settings. 

This thread is a fail.

not really, i doubt most basement dwellers that are in this forum can afford gaming pcs and keep them updated

Not really surprising considering the most played games on Steam (Dota 2, TF2, CS, L4D, etc) all run on Source and only require a laptop to run at good settings. People that play those games don't need a $300+ GPU

Odd, because hermits on here are usually saying PC gaming is cheaper than console gaming.

Good thing my PC and 99% of other PC gamers' PCs on this forum absolutely obliterate next-gen consoles. Lol keep tryin console peasants. Youll never reach our level.

But we aren't in next gen yet so why would they. You only need a duel core with an 8800gt to match current consoles and run 90% of current games. What a stupid thread.Frozzik

lol what... 47% have dual cores? I've been rocking quadcore for 7 years now... common people.

Mozelleple112

7 years ago in this day there wasn't any quad core on the market they arrived in late 2006 and were not true quad core rather just 2 dual core join and they were 1,000 dollars.

Peasants still trying to find ways to be better than a PC? Haha. I laugh at your attempt. Go back to the fields, peasants.

im not one of them, i do think even mid range pcs are better than consoles but i like to have high end gaming pc and is not cheap, still, it gives me miles better gaming experience than consoles, you get what you pay for.

Consolites forget that that they are still gaming on ancient hardware, 512RAM and 256 VRAM :P Every Steam user beats current gen consoles hardware-wise.

I've got unused PC's in my house more powerful than the next gen consoles. I'm not even a 'PC Gamer' I don't own Half Life, ARMA etc, and have only just bothered puchasing battlefield 3 via humble bundle sale. Not that I'll play it longer than an hour, I just wanted to see how much better it was.

Infact the only game I play on PC is DOTA

I'm quite content with my games on console.
