Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostI'm not into playing a ton of different games, which is why I almost skipped Anthem. Anthem is definitely next-level when it comes to visuals. I mostly play Gears of War 4, which is 2 years old. It looks sick on this rig though. I went and played it on my Xbox One X the other day and it was like popping in a VHS tape. I was disgusted.
My wife plays the last Tomb Raider (couple years old) on this and it looks pretty amazing.
1440 with high frames (120 to 144) is where it's at right now. Rigs like ours will thrive for the next few years until 4k at 120/144 becomes more feasible.
console games cant mess with PC gaming... 2 different world

Yesterday I was this close to buying an RTX 2080/ti, it comes with Anthem, Metro Exodus, and Battlefield V. But i'm still thinking about it, it's pretty expensive lol, the one i'm looking at is $900(2080) $1300 (ti). I have a PS4 Pro, with $1300 I can probably buy 20 PS4 games at their full price of $65.

Was looking for a GPU yesterday, but once I get going I want to upgrade everything, motherboard, cpu, ssd. These GPU's are getting more and more expensive. The $800 dollar nvidia cards like the 2080, that used to be the prices of the ti's 4-5 years ago.

You can find 2080s for $600 sometimes. I wouldn't worry about the oc ability either as the differences these days are small.

Every time I think I am ready to pull the trigger on a new GPU, I back off because I have not been gaming on PC like I used to. I just play on PS4 Pro. If I buy one I will just be buying one to just to have my computer upgraded to 2018 standards of hardcore gaming. But it does bother me that these cards cost more than a console, even the 'cheap' one's. I imagine not even the PS5 will reach as much as the cheapest RTX 2080.

Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostIt's an expensive hobby for sure. But, I have several of the same games on both the One X and PC and it's not even close. Even in games that play 4k on console, it's a rez scaled 4k with low frames. Being able to play on great detail with less latency and higher frames is worth the money for me. Really depends where your entertainment budget is though and how much time you spend. 2 years ago, no way would I have bothered. I was gaming so little that even an Xbox was too much to spend.
I remember when the GTX 980 came out for $550 (EVGA), and the 980 ti for $650 (EVGA). Now you have the 2080 for $800 (EVGA), and 2080 ti for $1200-1500.
Data mining ruined it for gamers. It's ridiculous when with the price of a ti now, with that money you can buy the latest console plus an army of games. Those GPU's are not worth the price tag, they are that price due to data miners.
