@saturatedbutter: No cant wait that long. Remember I'm still on the maxwell architecture. It's not like I'm going from a 1070 or 1080 to these card, I'm going from the Titan Black! It has a hard time pushing my new ultrawide monitor in certain games.
@illegal_peanut: Why not save up? When i was younger and money was more scarse. I always put aside money every month for upgrades little by little because pc gaming is a hobby of mine and I knew I'd like to upgrade in a few years. Then once you decide to upgrade you have the cash. Doesnt have to be much, like 20$ or so.
I don't need it nowadays as I have a good income and nothing but a low cost mortgage as far as loans go. But if I did use the same tactics after I built my current pc I'd have 5 years of savings since I havent upgraded in 5 years. That'd cover the 2080 Ti FE.
This time around I wont just upgrade but sell my old rig and build a completely new one. Been waiting for the new gen of nvidia cards deliberately to get one into the new build. I already have a buyer for my old rig that has been waiting along with me to get my rig. :D
@Syphon_Filter2: Might be true, but I'm not buying it for the ray tracing. Frankly no one is, that's just extra fluff. I'm buying it for the performance upgrade overall to run games. Especially the frames.
@openmind23: I'm still on a Titan Black so the upgrade will be way more noticeable for me. ;) I'm very happy though with how my pc has performed so far considering it'll be around 5 years when I upgrade and it has run flawelessly overclocked the whole time. Best pc I built to date and I hope I will get atleast as much mileage out of my new build with one of these turing cards.
Finally! I've been holding off an upgrade to get this new gen of gpus. My pc will be around 5 years old when I build a new one with a Turing card. Will wait for benchmarks and then decide between the 2080 or 2080 Ti.
But I will say my trusty 4770K and Titan Black 6GB has worked so well and hard for all those years and overclocked at that. Best build I have done to date. I hope the new one will last atleast as long and trouble free.
@freeryu: Because the games are good? You're right the W10 store is crap... especially compared to all the other clients on pc, but still beats buying an xbox and playing the lesser version of the same game. Who cares if people switch to pc or not? Pc is objectively better, wether a specific persion buys it or not is up to themselves. I'm not trying convert anyone.
If consoles played most their games in 60fps would I buy one? I already bought a console this gen and possibly might buy another one. I have the ps4 pro since march this year and if nintendo increases their library with more games I want I'll buy a switch. And don't get me wrong f ex UC4, Horizon, God of war are fantastic games, it just bothers me that they are not as good as they can be. That I'm not able to experience them at higher framerates like they deserve with the fluidity and control that comes with it.
Anyway to answer your question, the best way to get me to buy a console is to offer good games I want to play that I cannot get on pc. But if most or rather all games play in 60fps it'll go a long way to expand my gaming on console beyond singleplayer exclusives. They'd still have other grievances like the online fee, the more expensive games, lack of customisation etc, the lack of genres I rerally like like strategy, 4X titles and arpgs. Also I'd never be able to play fps titles with a controller, I want higher than 60fps for shooters anyway. But one of the absolute biggest drawbacks would be gone yes and console gaming would be massively improved.
@freeryu: Never said anything about them beeing good or bad. Just that if I want to play them I actually need to buy a playstation. Wich is not really the case for the xbox anymore.
What makes it shitty (and this is m o) is all the restrictions, limitations and caveats that comes with any console. Of wich a 30fps cap as the norm is one of my personal biggest strifes and there is no way to get around it. With xbox at least, I can just skip their console and it's limitations entirely and play the pc version.
@freeryu: Oh I do but we were talking about xbox games here so why would I bring up playstation? There was no mention or talk about playstation. But to their credit at the very least playstation actually does have alot of exclusives that require me to buy their shitty console if I want to play them.
@freeryu: So? In what way does that take away from "xbox exclusives"? So if someone else is dumb and don't know what an exclusive is, you mean you have to be the same?
