Prettu sure, PC has nothing on consoles. The number of console exclusives and its only getting worse with red dead redemmption etc is astronomical.

Console will always be the number 1 go to hardware...al

I only use my PC nowadys to emulate ps2 and ps1 games...

No RDR on PS4 and the XBox One only has a bad port of the 360 version that plays worse than it did on 360. And RDR2 isn't out for another year so it shouldn't count. Besides, the old PS3 games can all be played on PC through Playstation Now. And I can play most PS2 games through PCSX2 better than the actual PS2 can. The only PS2 game I have played that sucks on the PCSX2 emulator is Shadow of the Colossus, which only plays about 40-50 fps on PS2.

I should also add a lot of the Wii U catalog too since you can play many of them cleanly with CEMU now. For instance Mario Kart 8 and Super 3D Mario play great on it.

I have yet to buy a current gen console and besides a few select titles, this generation just feels lackluster to me compared to the last one. RDR 2 might be the one that makes me wanna buy a Poorstation or an XBone though.

Got RDR GOTY Edition on the 360 and that was easily my favorite game from last gen.

as a member of the console peasant race, the idea that PC isn't the top tier of gaming is laughable tbh. although it does suck for them that certain games will never come to PC and games like GTA take a whole extra year or longer to finally come out, but if I had the money right now to waste on a legit gaming PC i'd take it over a console any day

You can get a really strong 1080p gaming system for about $550 if you pirate Windows. Something like this:

I mean that's a better gaming system than the one I spent about $1000 on two years ago. Though I'd pay the extra $50 to get a GTX 1060 6GB card instead.

I think the PC has a clear and obvious advantage for 1080p gaming. The main reason is because an i5 is much stronger than the cpus in the consoles, and allows one to play games at 60 frames per second. The cpu in the PS4, PS4 Pro, XBox One, and XBox One Scorpio is really weak which leaves 60 fps gaming off the table for most new games, though shooters like BF1, COD, Overwatch, etc can be done at 60 fps on the consoles since there isn't an AI to simulate for instance. I would say for 4k gaming the Playstation 4 Pro has just as clear and obvious an advantage over PC though. On PC you won't get the same upscaling techniques PS4 Pro uses to simulate 4k and a GTX 1060 will have a really tough time rendering a native 4k at a locked 30 fps. You'd probably have to go up to a $400+ GTX 1070 to have much of a chance of a good experience at 4k 30 fps on PC.

PS4 Pro looks like it's going to be worth getting for the exclusives, but I'm waiting a year since RDR 2 and God of War 4 are the ones I really want to play. Then I'll just pick up Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne on bargain basement prices hopefully. :lol

I wouldn't touch XBox with a ten foot pole now though since Microsoft has decided to put its former exclusives like Forza and Gears of War on PC.

I already answered that objection son, GTA V is on the PC win list since it's way better than on console. You would have a point if it was 2014, but it's not now and PC has far and away the best version of GTA V since you can run it at 60 fps and mod it. RDR isn't on the list because there is no PS4 version and because the XBox One is just a straight port of the XBox 360 version. And I can play the last gen version of it on PC using Playstation Network. RDR2 isn't on the list since it's not even releasing for another year.

You usually don't notice DoF too much unless you're specifically looking for it though. But in Skyrim Remaster it's really in your face.

Dude clean your inbox out if you want me to reply to your PMs man. But to answer your question, I wouldn't use your 680 for a PhysX card. I have seen people test that kind of setup before with a strong main gpu and a significantly weaker card for PhysX and it often seems to bring framerates down. Besides, Arma III is straight CPU bound as far as I know. I think the only way you're improving performance on that is going with a newer cpu with higher IPC and higher clockspeed. So maybe an i5-7600k or i7-7700k under water at 1.3V-1.35V. Borderlands 2 is old as fuck so I doubt a single 1060 would limit it at 1080p even on a 144 Hz panel, so I doubt even having a 1060 as a PhysX card would do much there. I think your 680 as a standalone PhysX card would just waste power without any benefit whatsoever, especially since so few games even use PhysX any more. Just sell that shit or keep it as a backup in case you ever have to RMA your 1060. Also man, that's a pretty killer deal you got on it. If I didn't already have a 970 I'd be all over the 1060 6GB cards, they look like the best price to performance cards since maybe the GTX 660.

:lol I always forget that shit saves outgoing messages..

I have been reading into people's experience with that exact setup.. GTX 1060 w/ a 680 as a dedicated PhysX card.. and like I thought, it's only a handful of games that benefit, but the FPS increase is pretty significant.. Borderlands 2 and the Batman series are the only 2 I've seen people post before and after benchmarks of, so like you said it would just be a waste of power in most cases..

I think I'm just gonna build an i3 budget build w/ this extra 680 and make a mini gaming cafe in my man cave for guests to have their own spot to play when they come over tbh

And yeah, a 1060 for 220 bucks was too good to pass up, it's already a great price/performance option at 250.00, let alone 30 bucks cheaper. Plus, it seems like the perfect card for 1080p, (and a decent option for 1440p too on certain games) which I'll be at for a while.

If you're talking about a mini gaming PC, check this build out:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/cryhav0c/saved/#view=ZmGf7P

I haven't updated the prices lately, you could probably find it for under $900 especially today and during holiday sales. If you drop to a 1060, you're looking at $650-700. That case is incredibly small, can still house a full ATX power supply and full sized video card, and only weighs about 6 pounds. Your total system weight is under 20 pounds with this build.

Witcher 3 doesn't have any DRM and is easily worth the $50 for the game of the year edition. It's probably the best looking game out there and there is legitimately about 400 hours of content in it. It's easily the best RPG since Skyrim. Much better than Dragon Age Inquisition, Fallout 4, or Dark Souls 3 (all of which I thought were amazing games). I don't think the storyline nor music is quite as good as Skyrim, but it's the kind of game no self respecting member of the master race cannot have 100+ hours in. Make sure to turn on HBAO+, it really makes the lighting look great.

Do you think Witcher 3 is easier than 2? Also, learn how to play gwent man, it's a pretty fun minigame (well, until you complete your decks with all the god level cards and it becomes really easy).

But the Steam controller is win on this game.. Gyroscopic crossbow control and the dodge functions mapped to the grips.. I wish I didn't have to completely remap the controller into a keyboard though cause the mouse aiming is so much nicer.. This game features simultaneous controller/m&k input but when you're using a controller then move the mouse it causes a 15 FPS drop every time

by Anton Shilov on December 20, 2016 6:00 PM EST

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10926/galax_geforce_gtx_1070-single-slot_678_678x452.png

GALAX has developed a GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card with an ultra-slim one slot wide cooling system. The industry’s first single-slot GeForce GTX 1070 is understood to be released in China in early 2017, but it is unknown whether the video card will ever make it outside of the country.

Single-slot gaming graphics adapters for high-performance cards are not a common occurrence, especially as most AIB partners now run dual slot for anything 75W for over. After developers of GPUs for years have developed dual-slot designs for their coolers, the vast majority of motherboards have enough space to install at least one single slot graphics card. Nonetheless, there are systems equipped with extra add-in-boards (audio, SSD, additional SATA or Thunderbolt 3 controllers, etc.) that require slim single-slot components as there is simply not enough space inside. Meanwhile, it is not easy to find high-performance single-slot graphics cards: even some low-profile boards feature doublewide radiators. Companies like AMD and NVIDIA release professional graphics cards with slim coolers (e.g., Quadro M4000, Radeon Pro WX7100 and so on), but such products are not intended for general consumers because of high prices and some other peculiarities. By contrast, the forthcoming GeForce GTX 1070 from GALAX is a high-end consumer product with a single-slot cooling system.

The upcoming GALAX GeForce GTX 1070 uses a copper radiator with very thin fins and a metallic cover. Copper quickly absorbs heat, which is why it is used to make small form-factor coolers (including those for servers). Meanwhile, to maximize cooling potential of the whole system, GALAX uses a blower-type fan that generates very high air pressure by rotating at a very high speed. Such fans inevitably generate a lot of noise, but that is a tradeoff between dimensions and performance. Copper heatsinks are typically heavy too, as well as pricier than regular GPU heatsinks.

So far, GALAX has only demonstrated the graphics card at an event in China (and clearly labelled it GTX 1070 for anyone wondering) and has not revealed its frequencies or other peculiarities. Since NVIDIA’s partners are not allowed to downclock GPUs, it is highly likely that the card will run at reference 1506/1683 MHz (base/boost) clock rates. As for connectivity, the board has three connectors: a DVI, a DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0.

GALAX belongs to Palit Microsystems, one of the world’s largest makers of video cards. From time to time Palit’s brands release unique NVIDIA-based graphics adapters that have features not available on competing solutions. Usually, such AIBs are only sold in China, but at times they make it to the U.S. and Europe under various trademarks.

..and after having played w/ the Steam controller with different first person shooters for about 45 hours or so, it's clearly the better, more accurate, highly customizable option vs peasant controllers for FPS

Two more W's

I would rather spend 45 hours in one of Hitlers ovens alongside a decomposing Jew than spend that amount of time playing an FPS with a fucking controller. You may need to turn in your MasterRace card, tbh

I would only consider using a Steam controller for a non-competetive, single player FPS. It's great for Borderlands 2, Fallout 4, Dying Light. Wouldn't use a PS4/Xbox controller either way, which was the point of the OP.

Cemu is pretty awesome, especially for being maybe a year old. In all games I have played when you play through a new area the first time it stutters like hell while building a shader cache, but any time after that it's really smooth and you can play some of these games at 4k easily on a 1060 after that (I mean my 970 can and a 1060 is like 10-15% better). There is a reddit site where people post shader caches that you can install so you don't get those stutters supposedly, but I haven't tried it yet (mainly because there are like three interesting Wii U games: Bayonetta 2, Super Mario 3D World, and Breath of the Wild).

2. Freedom to play PC games, emulators, and console ports alike, which are usually the definitive version of said game, ie Witcher 3 and GTA V, both very optimized.

Like I said, I'm not particularly high on the Switch. I won't buy one until they come out with a sturdier redesigned model and it gets more games. My point is just that buying a console (any console, really) is a better deal than PC gaming.

From a technical perspective, Cemu is very impressive. Especially once you see how far RPCS3 is from emulating most worthwhile PS3 games by comparison. And Xenia (the Xbox 360 emulator) is even further away from relevance.

Still, it will never not be funny that one of PCfats' main selling points is being able to emulate console games. These are the same console games that PCfats insist are shit until they either get ported to PC or can be faithfully emulated, mind you. The end result is PCfats spending ungodly amounts of money to play the same games that "console peasants" are playing for much cheaper.

No one in his right mind is a PC gamer for price to performance. There are really two classes of PC gaming: (1) the WOW / CS:GO / LOL / TF2 players and (2) the people who want to pay extra for higher performance in AAA games. In case (1) you're talking $400 counting Windows for a system that can play games you can't get on any console. So you can't make that argument for them. In case (2) you're probably talking $850 counting Windows to play games at 60 fps at 1080p (I don't think PC gaming makes any sense at budgets between say $450 and $800 since you'll get console level performance). So in the second case you're right, the console is way cheaper. People will make the Steam Sales argument for PC but if you buy a PS4 or XB1 there are great sales on games too through their respective stores also (though Nintendo never seems to put their games on sale). So that pretty much evens out.

But in case (2) you're paying more for a better experience. 60 fps is quite a bit smoother than 30 fps as long as it's a steady 60 fps. It's not a game breaking deal to where I couldn't play games at 30 fps, as I love playing my PS4 / PS3 / XBox360. But if there was a $600-$700 PS4 that could do 1080p at 60 fps I would definitely have bought it over the $230 PS4 Slim I have that does 1080p at 30 fps. It's like some people want a 65" 4k OLED TV, some are fine with a 40" 1080p LCD. I don't think either TV buyer would be stupid to go for what they get.

1. Yet PCucks are bragging that Zelda barely runs at 29 FPS on Cemu after disabling all grass and water. Besides, obsessing over frame rates is as autistic as it gets. If you hear PCfats tell it, any game that runs under 60 FPS might as well be a PowerPoint slideshow. Do you refuse to watch movies because 24 FPS is the industry standard?

2. But consoles are the only things keeping PC gamers from having literally nothing to play :lol It's like biting the hand that feeds you.

3. That still costs about as much as a PS4 Slim with a game bundled in. And it's only one part of the whole computer.

4. Most of the big-name titles worth playing on Steam nowadays come with Denuvo built in. It even says "incorporates third-party DRM: Denuvo Antitamper" on the Steam pages for the games. Steam itself doesn't require you to always be online, but Denuvo requires constant online activation. 10-15 years from now, many of these games will be unplayable once their servers are taken down. A big reason for all this draconian DRM is because of pirates who feel entitled to play games for free. But a lot of it also has to do with services like Steam that have tricked PC gamers into accepting a new business model where they can never truly own games again. Steam themselves aren't cracking down, but they've helped create an environment where others (like Denuvo) can.

3. As stated before, my PC is multi-purpose.. It's not exclusively limited to gaming so can't really be too hung up on total price. The component that drives my games specifically cost me 230 bucks.

4. Who cares about Denuvo besides pirates? Buy the game and it's yours, really a worthless argument unless you wanna talk about "always on" DRM like Diablo 3 has. And btw, Denuvo is a one time activation, not planning to lose Internet and go Amish anytime soon.

1. I'm a Nintendo fan who enjoys many of their first-party games, but I'm not a stan. The true autists are the people who still preordered the Switch even after the Wii U's failure and the 3DS' disastrous launch (before they started cutting the price). They're the same idiots who can't handle any criticism of Nintendo even though their outdated practices keep biting them in the ass.

2. Good exclusives are a bonus that PC gamers mostly miss out on. You seem to have a mature perspective about exclusives, but most hardcore PC gamers constantly whine about how "anti-consumer" they are. Well, except for when the PC gets a rare decent exclusive, like the original Mount & Blade. They have no qualms bragging about those.

3. Fair point.

4. Some of the anti-Denuvo sentiment is definitely coming from pirates who feel entitled to games for free. But DRM also comes with valid concerns about preserving old games and ownership rights to games you paid for. We're already seeing this with issues like Windows 10 bricking any games that used SecuROM. For the record: last I checked, Denuvo required online reactivation for every hardware change/upgrade, which is a pretty big deal for PC gaming.

Tbh from what I've seen, people who hate on Denuvo or any DRM are just pirates under the guise of "DRM penalizes us paying customers!!" - That's bullshit, DRM does not cause any negative effect on a paying customer, unless it's always on and you are in a position where you can't go online.. But tbh, who the fuck in this day and age lives without some form of internet access?

Anyways, wgaf about Denuvo, it's dead in the water regardless. Bottom line is, you produce a bad ass game, people are going to buy it. CD Projekt Red has proven this with Witcher 3.

IMO, the best anti-piracy method is including a fun online multiplayer component like GTA Online.

I think it's pretty cool to essentially have a lot of different systems in one centralized place via emulation. I'm not going to hook up 10 different consoles with a bunch of HDMI switchers. Having four was already enough of a pain in the ass that I put my 360 on my PC monitor and my Wii on a different TV (though any Wii game that supports the classic controller I'd rather play on Dolphin on my PC).

LOL, I hate hearing the whining from the PC Master Race who spend $2500+ on their watercooled systems and think every game should be written specifically for SLI GTX 1080 and that consoles hold PCs back. What a load of crap, if PC ever became the dominant gaming platform we'd only get Warcraft and League of Legends and other shit that can run on a $300 computer. Because when most people go into Walmart or Best Buy for a gaming computer they walk out with a $700 system that might have an i5 in it, but it has a dogshit GPU like a GTX 745 that's worse than the one in the XB1/PS4. Then they buy a new gpu and it doesn't work because their prebuilt computer has a low quality 250W power supply that was just barely enough for the i5 and GTX 745. PC gaming (at least PC AAA gaming) is massively stupid for people who don't build their own computer, so there is a high barrier to entry for PC gaming. I never want to see PC the dominant platform or we'll just be getting crap games like the PES 2017 port designed to run on Intel's integrated graphics.

You don't even need a high-end gaming rig to do that, tbh. You just need a Raspberry Pi, which costs like $30, with RetroPie loaded on it. You can emulate every 3rd, 4th and 5th generation console on it, plus the GameCube, Wii, arcade, and vintage PC games, all on one tiny board. I'm not tech-savvy enough to know if you can plug it in to a CRT to get those beautiful scanlines, but I'd assume you can.

I'd be surprised if Dolphin can run well on the Raspberry Pi 3, that's pretty cpu intensive. You definitely need a modern Intel cpu to run PCSX2 to emulate the PS2 well. Ryzen should do it well too, but not the FX series cpus. Not sure if the Pi 3 can do Dreamcast well or not.
