Everybody that is having an issue with the PS4 Pro pricing obviously aren't in the market for a gaming PC.

@BeAware Actually, now that I think of it.. Ever since I started using that Lossless Scaling program on Steam, I've graduated to 1440p upscaled to 4K, with 2x frame gen. Haven't played anything demanding yet, but Yakuza 5 maxes out my 144hz TV's fps and the PC barely breaks a sweat.
-
@RxBrad and that costs similar to the PS5 Pro?๐คจ
Wild...I have a 3090 super and i9 and struggle to get 60 fps 4k...and if that would've costed anywhere near $700 I'd have been kissing someone's ass.
I might be gaming wrong somehow...
-
@BeAware Your PC is already faster than the 5Pro.
Ultra graphics will kick a 4090's ass even, at times. Most PS5 games run at roughly Medium PC graphics settings. To be totally honest with myself, it's often hard to tell the difference between Medium & Ultra.
Medium-High graphics, lean on DLSS, and throw in some Lossless Scaling frame gen (which is essentially what the 5Pro is doing), and you should hit 4K 60fps++ on most anything.
I like my PS5. I just use my PC a lot more.
-
@RxBrad ahhh...makes sense.
I still want the exclusives.โ๏ธ
-
@BeAware Wait about a year, and the exclusives show up on PC, too, now. The online multiplayer stuff hits PC at the same time.
And the games are cheaper on PC. So that extra $130 for the PC gets recovered after you buy 3-4 games.
-
@BeAware Yep, cost 2-4 times that (depending on brand and how much of a powerhouse it is) to do an equivalent or better. I believe someone did a video to match series x and the ps5 and it was 1200-1400 or more (it's been a while). But you could easily drop 2-3k to get a really nice play everything near max for years one.
-
@RxBrad oh trust me, I spent WAY more than 830$ for my PC at the time. Like 3x that much... And yeah, I don't feel like waiting a year, that's a big point for me.โ๏ธ
-
@ppb1701 that's where I'm at. I have that PC already, now I need something to play exclusives.
-
@BeAware Me being cheap overrides me being impatient, every time. :funnyguy:
That's why I'm playing Yakuza 5 and not Baldur's Gate 3 right now.
-
@RxBrad for sure.
I suspect you're a frequent browser of /r/patientgamers? Nothing wrong with that.
Priorities are always different. I'm impatient with most everything.
-
@BeAware Patient Gaming all the way.
(Also, to answer your original pre-order question, see the Wario64 post I just boosted.)

@RxBrad I was just linked to a Kotaku article detailing the pre order info. Thanks though!๐ซก
Will be anxiously awaiting Sept. 26th!
