Poll Which Gaming System Had The Best Graphics & Performance This Gen? (128 votes)
PC 56%
PS4/PRO 16%
SWITCH 8%
XBOX/1X 20%
I was curious what SW thought in relation to other general gaming communities. For the most part PC always wins these.
But SW has a pretty diverse audience. I'm very curious as to how you feel about the hardware capabilities each system was able to perform this generation (2012-2020). Which system do you feel pushed their hardware beyond the others.
This is not about who could "Do the best given their hardware". This is straight up which system literally looked the best and ran the smoothest fps.
Would you say XB1X, PS4:PRO, Switch, or PC had the best graphics and performance?
@boxrekt: stop stop, they're dead already! Lol. Yeah these Lems hiding behind PC amaze me, Uncharted 4, GOW, Spiderman, and Horizon looks better than anything on PC or 1x. These fanboys think resolution overtakes assets, animation, and effects.
I think they have gone insane, acting like multiplat AAA's don't have assets, effects, and animations even though multiplats won most DF mentions. They literally think only PS4 exclusives look good....
@zaryia: lol most games don't run on low medium... seriously enough with the lies. Just recently I've played RE2 , RE3 remakes, DMC5 and Doom eternal that mix mostly med/high settings at 60fps.
You have no clue what your talking about.
I'm just stating the fact that nearly half the top 10 best looking games are PS4 exclusives and it's a fact by nearly every list I've found.
At DF, in 2018 GOW5 was beaten by XB1X RDR2. You got that right, PS5's current and only graphics king contender beaten by XB1X. And now RDR2 looks better on PC. RDR2 is not even PC's best looking game, there are around 5 or 6 that look better.
You do the math on that one.

I'm just calling out your blatant lies.
I called you out on your blatant lie, you aren't a graphics enthusiast. If you are, it's a remote one. Like a 14 kid who keeps a binder full of Sports car pictures. Sure he's an enthusiast, but a remote one.
Digital Foundry has stated these games are better experiences on PC. You are experiencing the noticeably worse version of 99% of major powerhouse releases over a 8 year period.
If you cared about graphics, you would at least have a hardcore gaming rig AND a ps4 like the 3 posters who were trashing you earlier. Although even they knew PC games looked better than those 2 PS4 games that put up a fight.
Funny how anyone who has both agrees PC wins. These similar poll results are on any neutral forum or tech reddit btw.
RDR2 on PC looks better than any video game on PS4. According to DF It beat out GoW5 while running on XB1X, and the PC version looks better. The math on that one is quite easy.
And don't forget, RDR2 isn't even PC's best showing. The top 10 are PC games on Ultra. PS4 comes it at 11 with DS, which will look significantly better on PC in 2 months. GOW5 is 14th. Other than that PS4 has no contenders anymore, UC4 and HZD are dated.
@zaryia: RDR2 didn't even beat Spiderman... wtf are you talking about? One second you use DF as the only credible source the next time you use them their irrelevant. Which is it?
And you have been trashed on this forum by nearly half a dozen posters. Most hermits even admit that not every PC multiplat makes up the top 10 you seem to be the only one in denial at this point. And if I was a graphics enthusiast I would just buy a new console every 3 years which is what I do.
And you have been trashed on this forum by nearly half a dozen posters.
Citation?
The poll results are showing a majority of the forum trashes you.Then you got guys posting screenshots of their setups in this thread burying you as they have both systems and you only have 1. Making their facts superior to your opinions.

So you're saying you are a graphics enthusiast..............but you play the noticeably and notably worse looking and significantly worse running (A gfx enthusiast not using adaptive sync + over 60 fps, and even under 60 fps for several games? SURE) version of most major video games over the last 8 years.
That makes 0 sense and is the exact opposite of a graphics enthusiast by definition. Oxford and Merriam laugh at you.
@zaryia: your 50 person poll on gamespot about as irrelevant as it gets. Nobody agrees with you about the top 10 best looking games are PC multiplats. You have been trashed even by hermits. Fact is half the best looking games are not even on your platform and the other half have minor advantages. That leaves you with a handful of games that offer any noticeable gap.
And no upgrading a to the latest console would have you above the vast majority of PC gamers while giving you access to the best looking games you will never see. Buying a new console this year will give you access to the best versions of multiplats while allowing you to play games that look a step ahead of your standard multiplats.
You're going to replay the last 8 years of multiplat AAA gfx showcases on PS5 (assuming they all go to it, and look better than PC)? That's a lie and you know it. You played the trash version of all of those games for this entire gen, you are by no means a graphics enthusiast.
Your eyes got screwed over by you.
Are you gonna screw your eyes over from 2020-2028 as well in the hopes you can wait out for PS6? You're always going to be a generation behind for multiplats (99% of games....) Gonna play the shit version of gfx showcase multiplats again? Gonna skip out on 90% of gfx kings again?

@zaryia: your 50 person poll
Are you having eye problems? It's over 100.
No wonder you think GoW5 looks better than Metro, Control, RDR2, GW5, RE2, FH4, etc. even when neutral gaming/tech communities think otherwise.
If you can't afford a PC at least get glasses.
@r-gamer said:
he fact is half the best looking games are not even on your platform
Huh? PC is gfx king atm. This is a fact seen through direct feed evidence and DF.
P.S. Why are you going after PC. You still have to beat XB1X. RDR2 on X1 looks better than GoW5, PS4's only remaining contender.
@zaryia: What am I lying about? It's already confirmed it can make those games run and look better. So they will be on par if not ahead of the PC versions. You may lose the entire top 20 by the end of the year.
And facts are facts... by every single list the PS4 has nearly half the top 10. Your poll doesn't even address that because your reading comprehension sucks. It ask what system had the best graphics and performance. Like hardware bought in 2019 wouldn't beat hardware bought in 2016.. ? and even then it has a pathetic same size. It doesn't change the fact that direct evidence suggests nearly half of the best looking games are unplayable on your platform.
@zaryia: What am I lying about? {Removed the fanfiction.}
It seems like you're really into graphics and hardware. Big time.
What system did you play graphical showcases like Metro, Control, BFV, BF1, Farcry 5, Witcher 3, DX2, Doom Eternal, Forza 4, and RDR2 on?
Because I know I can go to literally any graphics and hardware enthusiast reddit/discord/forum and I would know the answer to that question for everyone.
This confirms my suspensions. You talk about graphics all day but played most of those gfx showcases (and probably most this gen) on consoles, the much worse version of them, and do not own a gaming PC. The same goes for BoxRekt.
I noticed the people who spam gfx threads/posts the most don't really seem to care about gfx much IRL. That's super weird.
@zaryia: You didn't answer my question because your full of shit. I've played several on PC to experience the visuals. Have you played any of the titles you criticize? And 5% ? You are terrible at math. Nearly half the top 10 games are PS4 exclusives. I'm basing this off nearly every list made by tech and gaming channels. That's 50% of the top 10.
You would rather completely ignore these titles for minor visual enhancements on most titles and significant upgrades on a handful of titles.
@DragonfireXZ95: Cows never used RDR2 because Rockstar did a terrible job with the checkerbored technique . I'm not sure I'd put RDR2 in the top 10 on the PS4 pro. If so it would be toward the bottom.
It looks great on the X1X though and I expect it to look great on PS5 with a patch.
Why is this even a discussion, gow, hzd and Spider-Man looks great for the hardware they are on. But saying they are graphic king is laughable... and yes played ( and own) all of them!

You own both? That doesn't mean anything . Ive gamed on a 2080ti.. do multiplats looks better? Yes. Does it put most of them beyond the best exclusives?? NO!
And a PC gamer owning a high end rig is always going to say his PC looks better. It sucks when a $400 prebuilt box rivals your $2000 rig in any way. The reality was I was tired of wasting money on hardware to find myself not getting any exclusive titles that took advantage of it after Crysis..
Also Samsung is going OLED as they are going to stop manufacturing LCD in 2021.
Also no one is saying every multi-platform game because its on PC with higher settings look better than the exclusives Sony... What we are saying is that out of the 10 best looking games out right now MOST of them are Multi-platfrom and not only look better on PC but run a lot better.
More importantly.......I can't believe R-gamer called out someone's graphics enthusiasm.
He's actually going around for 8 year long periods playing nearly every major release on low & medium (A few partially on high) and 20-30 FPS (A few almost 60) and actually has the nerve to use that line....
Yet he is calling out people who not only played all those releases with much better gfx/fps, but also all of PS4's smoke and mirror exclusives. What....
This is literally like those Car forums in the late 90's where you had "Tricked out" Honda Civic owners bashing guys with Porsches. So reminiscent. Equally as sad.
EDIT: BTW, that TV is running the whole time i'm awake, and that is as of now 30+ hours (which apparently starts to show up in my "latest comments" - feeling dizzy). Would you risk do that with your OLED's? Money was not the issue if you look it up, i don't want to have permanent taskbar in my image, thanks...
Your argument is "is what graphics enthusiast buys oled"...
Also I never ran my LED nor my QLED at 30+ hours because I work and turn my PC off along with TV. Not only that but I don't use my TV to browse the web so the task bar being on the screen for 30 hours?...
LG 9 series has GSYNC, 120Hz 1440p and HDMI 2.1 with all the benefits of OLED with its contrast and black levels along with per pixel illumination for HDR gaming.... What graphics enthusiast WOULDN'T chose OLED with the B9 prices lower than Samsung's QLED panels.
30 hours with the start bar... Your just clawing away for reasons to look more stupid since apparently playing games on a QLED with Blooming and grey black levels in HDR on a console at medium 30FPS is what a graphics enthusiast is all about. GTFO.
OLED 4K GYSNC 60FPS with a 2080 Ti... That's what Graphics enthusiast want which I am as I have went from a 1080 Ti to a 2080 Ti and plan on getting a 3080 Ti when it arrives.
I have a QLED in the bedroom which I used for a while before my wife took it for her Netflix addiction and I used a LED for a bit... Neither come close to the benefits of OLED, once I loaded up Forza Horizon 4 at 4K/60 with HDR and GYSNC with my GPU usage at 60% so the PC was whisper quiet on and the sun went down in the game and I could see all the individual stars with detail in the shadows and having deep blacks?.... Nah OLED is for graphics enthusiasts.
The question was about which "Gaming system"....as such PC isn't a gaming system, it's a work tool some of which have gaming capabilities and very few have good gaming capabilities. So, x1x wins this one.
I have the pro and x and have played every enhanced game mentioned apart from death stranding on a good tv with good hdr and wide colour gamut credit to Sony for getting every ounce of power out of the machine to make the 1st party look as good as they do.but it’s third place,but seeing what they can do on the pro I have zero worries about the power difference next gen because ps5 exclusives will look phenomenal

LMFAO..Silly fakeboy lem God of War shits on Metro in graphics, but I digress.
Even with that, you go above and beyond with this clam....
"PC Games that look better than GoW: ...Gears 5..."
Lmfao what? 🤦♂️ You just had to let your xbox fanboyism take over.
Now I gotta crush you!
The inclusion of Gears 5 in your desperate, "better than GOW graphics" list proves you have 0 credibility in the subject of graphics and are just another raging xbox fakeboy hiding behind PC.
THIS ^ lol is Gears 5 on PC on ULTRA PRESET! ***Click the link***
Look at those 2006 animations, and the laughable pasty claymation graphics.
This is one of YOUR selected PC GFX kings?
Hahaha...TRASH!
"PC Games that look better than GoW: ...Gears 5..." 😂Just clowned yourself!
Things we can confirm now about @zaryia, you don't have the slightest clue about graphics or what PS4 AAA exclusives actually look like so you'll claim ANYTHING looks better, gotcha!
It doesn't matter what you run that shit on, much like many of those other games you throw in your list screaming they look better than any Sony exclusives; the base graphics are simply inferior to the graphics Sony devs pump out on the lowly PS4.
Thanks for owning yourself though.
The next time you think it's the good idea to claim that one of MS's 2nd tier developed titles are equal to Sony's AAA exclusives.
Lemming let me remind you....
THESE R God of War graphics that takes a steaming dump on your precious PC graphics duds & have you 😥 in your pillow at night!
PS4 exclusives literally look a generation ahead of the shit you're claiming to be "graphics king" on PC.
NOW TIME TO DAMAGE CONTROL!!!

Indeed but can you blame him?
Look at the games he's trying to prop up for MS and PC like Gears 5 compared to PS4 AAA exclusives lol. Making a fool of himself in the process.
EDIT:
We were playing games with Graphics like this 3 years ago. lol PC fanboys actually think these are all pre-rendered cinematics even today.
They can't believe these are in game graphics because their 2nd rate upscaled mutiplats don't reach this level. So Sony finally throwing PC peasants a bone with HZD to prove to them once and for all, the shit is real and this is the kind of quality that's simply not available on PC's basement indie and multiplat dependent library.
I might be up$et too if I threw all the power in the world at a game (like Gears 5) and it was still shit on by the graphics of games for a system with a fraction of that power.

Q90R vs LG C9:

I don't know what shitty QLED TV you've got (grey blacks and bad HDR?), but Q90R is not a "low-budget" TV...
I've been unhappy with console performance for every system at some point.
X1X - Menu are laggy AF - why?????? Honestly I haven't played much on the X1X. The Outer Wilds is has areas where frame rate tanks. Red Dead 2 input latency is crazy-high.
PS4 - Bloodborne frame pacing is a tragedy. Most games are 30fps with dips and it sucks.
Switch - BotW runs like garbage in certain areas and it makes me want to avoid them which makes me sad. Link's Awakening also runs poorly. For shame, Nintendo.
Using a console feels like gaming in 2007. Still crappy spinning rust hard drives. Slow downloads. Discs.

depends on the game and art work. this is why its an opinion. god of war was my wow game this gen because of the art and look of the characters. hellblade looked awesome to but that was very liner stages. so to me an open world games that looked as good as they did was my picks
@zaryia: The most DF mentions? Wtf are you talking about.
Their end of year videos. PC has the most tallied games from 2012-2020. Either way it's just the opinion of 2 guys.
Also, Control, RDR2, GW5, Metro, BFV, RE2, and a few others all look better than anything on PS4. DS might compete, but it's gonna be best on PC in June. Too bad for you.
Get a gaming PC so you can agree with everyone else outside of PS4 forums.

Your credibility has been destroyed here.
You said PS4 is Graphics King over PC and has better graphics. Now as everyone here knows, that is false and PC has the best graphics. Even you know this fact.
Please don't even use the word credibility at any gaming or tech forum. Perhaps you should stick with those Playstation Fan Reddits.

GSYNC on a 65" OLED with a RTX 2080 Ti
Damn what display is that?
I feel bad for console gamers just thinking about all that.
um of course the pc wins. but if you take the same game and put it in the ps4 your game is not going to look better than the ps4 exclusives.
Your argument is "is what graphics enthusiast buys oled"...
Q90R vs LG C9:
I don't know what shitty QLED TV you've got (grey blacks and bad HDR?), but Q90R is not a "low-budget" TV...
I don't know much about a TVs and need a new one that is best with my PC. So this debate has given me a lot of information.
One question, does that Q90R work with GSYNC and how many hz does it go up to?
Depends on your room. I have my living room facing east, so i have my room filled with sun since sunrise 'til noon. Eventhough i have dimout (almost blackout) curtains, so apart from me not feeling like being a basement dweller until noon, i also got some plants in here, so they need some light too (and Q90R's screen is almost like a blackhole, lol). Plus there's still that (even if a little) risk of burn-in, and i was not willing to risk that...
So if your room isn't filled with sunlight and don't have it on for long periods of time, i'd go with LG C9 (OLED). Q90R doesn't have G-SYNC, but as of now can go to 4K@120 SDR, just like LG C9 due to no HDMI 2.1 GPU's on market. The 4th HDMI port is technically 2.0b that supports 2.1 features, so it is a bit unknown if it can do 4K@120 with HDR.
P.S. LG C9 is in my country actually cheaper than B9 (as much as 400 Euro). There's not that much difference in B9 and C9 (the letter having better processor).
@pyro1245: Yeah, the gap between consoles and PC's is very noticeable later into each console gen (let's leave out Nintendo that is like 2 gens behind since 2006). Even the mid-gen rehashes didn't help that much, if at all...
