    When was PC gaming relevant the last 10 years ?

    Every good game is on consoles, PC is full of copy/paste strategy games that are 1000% same to older ones (and usually with worst graphics and art) and MMOs that are generic garbages for the masses

    I enjoyed the console version of Natural Selection 2.

    Your rig doesn't take advantage of any of that, but nonetheless, anything built in 2011 is far superior to any console, and it shows.  If you cannot tell the difference, you are either blind, or a liar.  I am guessing that you are both.

    Only on a $3000 or higher PC.  As I said earlier, I have a high end PC, yet I can only run Crysis 3 at 30 fps with low antialising levels at 1080p, everthing else maxed out.   If the PC version of this game was specifically coded to my hardware configuration, instead of going through layers of abstractions through an API, I believe it would be able to run at a constant 60 fps with everthing maxed with medium antialising levels.

    so..what you saying im "bluffing" at? I have a gaming pc "I BUILT" in 2011..Its no top of the line but its nice..Runs what Ive played..If I compare my pc games to my console games its not such a huge difference that it actually "changes my game" or "makes it totally different"..you hermits go way overboard with your explinations..Can I build something even better? SURE I CAN..its PC, you can always build better because everything is outdated the moment you buy it..WHICH is why I dont upgrade but every few years..NO NEED..

    4x the resolution, 4x the framerate, Ultra settings, SGSSAA, Mods, Sound quality...

    Your rig doesn't take advantage of any of that, but nonetheless, anything built in 2011 is far superior to any console, and it shows.  If you cannot tell the difference, you are either blind, or a liar.  I am guessing that you are both.

    Only on a $3000 or higher PC.  As I said earlier, I have a high end PC, yet I can only run Crysis 3 at 30 fps with low antialising levels at 1080p, everthing else maxed out.   If the PC version of this game was specifically coded to my hardware configuration, instead of going through layers of abstractions through an API, I believe it would be able to run at a constant 60 fps with everthing maxed with medium antialising levels.

    I paid around $2,200.  If you can only run Crysis 3 at 30 fps, it is a very good PC, but it is not really "high end".  Also, you should try the timer resolution fix for Crysis 3 if you are CPU limited: http://www.overclock.net/t/1364200/crysis-3-20-30-framerate-and-performance-boost-cpu-limited-users-only

    That question can't really be answered until we have the hardware and games in our hands. The way some here talk, you'd think they already have the next-gen hardware and games.

    I mean we already know with consoles you get roughly 4 x the performance with the same specs because you can code straight to metal.

    Why even bother with PC gaming when the games lead development platforms are on consoles anyway and your basically just eating console scraps?

    It made AMD "Gaming Evolved" PCs more relevant.

    From AMD's facebook page... note the "AMD Radeon Graphics" logo with Sony's Playstation brand.

    So what's much better than my i7 3820 for gaming?  Do I need an i7 3970x and dual GTX Titan's to run the newest games at 1080p and maxed out at 60 fps?
