Yep, looks like Microsoft wins the next gen
Connor Mitchell
Hunter Morris
PC players should be happy. GPU manufacturers have been fucking us over for years, now we're finally going to get cheap-ish 12TF GPUs, and more in the future.
This happenes every gen, well, except the last one. OG Xbox, 360, etc. were all faster than current hardware at the time.
Tyler Carter
>now we're finally going to get cheap-ish 12TF GPUs, and more in the future.
Says who? They don't need to sell them for such low prices in the PC market.
Asher Wood
5700XT launched at $400. Wouldn't be suprised if the next 12TF card replaces it at that price.
Nathaniel Ross
Yup, PC """gamers""" (really just hardware enthusiasts/consoomers) have proven themselves to not be price sensitive. Why would these companies lower prices when they can barely keep shelves stocked as it is?
Connor Garcia
3080 will destroy it.
Jayden Harris
At $500 bucks it'd be an amazing deal, even at $600 and you're getting a decent specs list for the price, not to mention console games are more optimized that PC ones so the specs go further.
PC users finally get baseline specs to increase for multiplats too so games don't have to cater for the old shitty CPUs that last gen had.
Nathaniel Russell
I'm still running an athalon II X4 and a GTX 660.
This time consoles will out perform my PC, until I upgrade.
Carter Bell
>PC users finally get baseline specs to increase for multiplats too
PC developers are not going to create PC ports with minimum requirements of I/O faster than even the best nvme drives today can provide. I think we're going to see an end of this era of every console multiplat coming to PC.

dont buy nvidia then

nvidia prices to compete when amd has cards in the same performance tier. the xsx gpu is made by amd anyways so I don't even know why you suddenly bring nvidia to the conversation
Jeremiah Ortiz
Nvidia is better, AMD has no offerings in the high-end segment. I don't care about some midtier shit cards.
Isaiah Bennett
The only two cards worth shit in the past decade of AMD history are the 580 and the 5700XT.

The release of the Series X with Microsofts economy of scale will drive innovation in AyyMD and lower Nvidia GPU prices which will Lover Nvidia card prices and then lower AMD prices.
Then a month will go by and the Series X wont be the hottest thing in town anymore.
Oliver Brooks
Only 1?
Civilization V
I know, that's opinion; here's more to level things out (with some that are backward compatible or whatever, because of post below yours):
Civilization IV, VI
Fallout 1 & 2
Planescape Torment
Arcanum
Heroes of Might and Magic
Divinity: Dragon Commander
System Shock 2
No One Lives Forever 2
FTL

Yes you can, the backcompat catalogue is massive, and all of them at the very least get resolution and performance bumps, a lot of the more popular games get specific enhancements like texture resolution increases, specific effects, etc.
xbox Series X will take this futher with HDR automatically applied to any game.

It depends. Some games that used to run on Windows 2000 and XP don't exactly run on Windows 7 or 10 immediately.

They'll run at maximum resolution possible, even some original xbox games this would be 1080i.
Even so, there's a handful of original xbox games that are xbox One X enhanced with full 4K support.

Okay, so 1 on the list was off... well done.

You forgot the part where I buy used PC parts on local buy&sell for 20 dollars a pop and just stay consistently 1 gen behind still playing all new games on at least high graphics @1080p.
So many poorfags don't do this, but I guess that's why they're poor. Too dumb or lazy to be resourceful.

On PC I could choose which games I wanted to play, terrible or not.
On console, it's about what they decide to let me play, and then only on their settings. No mods, no sweetfx, no control at all for the user.
Christian Powell
except in windows mode they'll be insanely underpowered and will be obsolete by their mid life cycle.
And linux mode is literally useless cause all you can do there is go on steam, buy random games and leave bad reviews about how a game not advertised for linux does not support linux.

Thomas Cooper
Why do console retards still fall for the "flops" marketing meme?
It literally means nothing, it's like saying "this card runs at more GHz, therefore it's better!".
James Ross
Nah. It'll be obsolete by the time launch rolls around. That's how consoles have been for like 15 years now.
Cameron Long
Honestly, depending on how bad the virus affects parts prices by the end of the year, I might just stick with my old PC and buy an Xbox Sex if it's even close to as good as they say it'll be. I was gonna wait for the next gen of cards, but it's looking like I should've just upgraded at the end of last year like I had originally planned.
Cooper Mitchell
the virus isn't real
Matthew Murphy
We're getting Nvidia 3000 cards and Ryzen 4000 this year, upgrading in 2020 makes a lot more sense than in 2019.
The 2000 series RTX cards are shit.

Navi killed the midrange market and Ampere isn't going to offer anything better because Nvidia isn't going to price the 3060/3070 to compete with 5700/XT, meanwhile Navi 2 is going to be flagship cards. So for most people upgrading in 2019 made a lot of sense.
Gabriel Powell
>consolefags pretending to know anything about the GPU market and unironically using tflops.

David Phillips
Sure, if you like paying twice as much for a 2-5% performance gain then go for it, but most Yas Forums users don't aren't exactly trustfund kids.
Easton Green
hey user, it's time to get out of 2010 and join us in the current year.
Charles Smith
Getting really of this virus. I was gonna build my first pc but now I'm just thinking I'll stick to my old console until I stop getting games to play.
Dylan Brown
Why do you reply to blatant shitposts?
Isaac Wilson
That's what I thought but if we get hit hard by inflation and parts shortages, I'm not going to bother because I'm not paying 1.5-2x the price over last gen.
Jack Brooks
But will it have games?
Alexander Perry
Navi is shit because of nightmare drivers and if the 3060 pricing is in line with the 2060's MSRP then yeah, it'll dab on midrange Radeon cards.
Brandon Sanders
Enjoy having to buy a new motherboard for the Ryzen 4000 series.
Colton King
>I'm not paying 1.5-2x the price over last gen.
Nobody is, because cards won't cost twice as much as last gen.
MSRP is most likely gonna match that of current cards.
What?
Ryzen 4000 will still use AM4, you retard.
Samuel Gonzalez
You say that as if Intel hasn't been chucking out sockets like cheap one night stands for the past decade.
Ethan Harris
If true then great, brand new top end build for playing the newest games and gamepass (which is the only reason you want a high end GPU, any older game or indies run fine on budget builds) for only $600
Joseph Long
>Nobody is, because cards won't cost twice as much as last gen.
>MSRP is most likely gonna match that of current cards.
I sincerely hope that's the case, but you have to look at what's happening right now around the world. The markets are crashing faster than they were back in 2008 over this virus shit and there's no guarantee this shit is going to just clear up in a month and make everything go back to normal by the time those cards drop.

Luis Flores
I upgraded from a 970 to a 2080 in 2018 for 4k/1440p and it's been fucking smooth sailing ever since. Just because they weren't 2x better than the 10xx cards doesn't mean they're shit. Expensive? Yes. Shit? No. Effortless and never had 1 single driver problem or issue? Absofuckinglutely. It's been a great card and stomps everything.
Joshua Lopez
>Ryzen 4000 will still use AM4, you retard.
Just like the latest Threadripper used the TR4 socket like was promised right? Oh wait. AMD fucking lied then, and they're going to lie again.
Eli Ortiz
Those driver issues were fixed long ago, and it's not the first and won't be the last time a new hardware launch has driver issues.
>3060 pricing in line with 2060's MSRP
lmao not even close, Nvidia will just release a """new""" 2660 Ti
Jacob Carter

Hudson Lewis
Original RTX were fucking shit, holy goddamn the prices were atrocious. You got robbed.
Jeremiah Perry
I do think Corona will be around for a long time, longer than most people expect right now.
That doesn't mean GPU prices will drastically inflate, because especially in trying times like this they wouldn't make any sales like that. Not just that, most of their production is either automated or comes from china, which already reopened many factories (and also uses literal slaves).
GPU prices are gonna be fine, the real worry here are possible delays in the release schedule.
Charles Foster
I'm not saying the 2080 isn't a great card, but it's great because it's just a 1080ti.
They both had an MSRP of $700 and have almost identical performance, it's pathetic of Nvidia to release a card with no performance upgrade 2 years later for the same price.
That's what i mean when i say the 20 series is "shit".
The 2080ti should've been at the price point of the 2080.
Adam Perry
I bet devs will still be unable to make the majority of the games run at 60 FPS.
Nicholas Williams
when will journos and console people understand that PC is all about the options it provide. options in-game, options regarding setup, which controller you wanna use and of course how cheap it is after the initial investment. I bought nioh 2 the other day and its the first time in a fucking year that Ive spent 60 bucks on a game and you even have to jew out for the online if you want something as cloud saving
David Jenkins
Bro are you still on 1600 x 900? What even is your life bro
Ian Turner
If you're implying I got a founders edition I did not. EVGA XC ULTRA. Out performs the 2080super as it overclocks like a champ.
1080ti's were like 1000 fucking dollars too. The prices were so fucking wack but 970 shit the bed and I knew this was going to last for many years. Which it has and will.
