I will stick to my gtx680 a while yet.

PtRoLLFacE4083d ago

that thing is a monster but the price is a monster as well, i heard from $800 to $1500 fuck i can buy a car with that lol

ShinMaster4083d ago

I could buy three PS4s with that money.

But that's the price of high-end PC gaming, I guess...

"I could buy three PS4s with that money"

Yea but why compare a low end part to a ultra high end one.

PS4 will feature a low end GPU compared to what a Titan will be. The rumored 7850 - 7870 is mid range tech as of today, when it releases it will actually be low end tech in PC terms.

A 7870 which is comparable to a PS4 would cost you 210usd.

Add in rest of the parts and you could easily make a PC for 500-600usd, which would have comparable performance to a PS4 and be fully upgradable for the future, not to mention will have full BC with any game you own today.

Edit: Lol people actually disagreeing 7870 being a low end part in the next 6 months.

ShinMaster4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

You don't really need that much power for current games.
Most multi-platform games are dependent on consoles anyway. Some games don't even require any more than 2gb of ram (see: Skyrim).

And what YOU consider "low end tech" will actually perform better on consoles than it would on PCs. There is no standard on PC, so it's nearly impossible for developers to optimize games directly anywhere near as well as on consoles.

Anyway, can't wait to see the new wave of upcoming games.

@decrypt

But you won't have God of War or Gran Turismo. HA!

Yes, but can that car render "X" gflops of whatnots every second!

Yeah, didn't think so...

The GTX680 should be able to play 99% of AAA PC titles on max resolution for the next couple years.

LightofDarkness4083d ago

That all depends on how much the next gen consoles up the ante. This has been true for the last few years because most games are developed and targeted for PS3/360. Once it's PS4/new Xbox, expect every game to be as demanding on PCs as something like Crysis 3 from the beginning, and it will only become more demanding than that as the generation moves forward. About 1 year later (after the launch of consoles), you should be able to buy a GPU that will see you through most of the generation at high setting above 30FPS (like the 8800GTX/9800GTX). But anything bought prior to that is not a sure thing. I had a 7800GTX OC in 2006 that was just about able to manage 30FPS or so at reolutions like 1024x768 and 720p, and a GTX 260 a year later was able to handle most games quite well.

The thing is, PC GPUs may be way more powerful, but they are 1) not standard in all PCs (and are thus impossible to optimize for directly) and 2) have a much higher API overhead, meaning console developers can program almost direct-to-metal, gaining them much better performance with seemingly lower end parts.

kevnb4083d ago

it really doesn't have much to do with consoles. Tons of games are multiplat and push way firther than consoles can right now. Then there are pc exclusives that are just huge in scope like arma, total war, and guild wars 2.

NOOBKILLA4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

The Titan is for PC gamers with Multi-Monitor setups running games on ultra settings at 5760x1200 and up. If you are running a single 1080p monitor then it will be overkill.

chaldo4083d ago

This may sound stupid but I will get this and sell it once the 790 gets released. I always feel the need to upgrade graphic cards. I cant help it :(

jeffgoldwin4083d ago

sounds like a dangerous addiction, financially.

vanethe4083d ago

I just bought a 670 a few weeks ago , and i dont plan to upgrade any time soon , hell most game wont need that power anyways

solid_warlord4083d ago

Advice for the super geeks...Just get a next gen console. No need to spend stupendous amount, on a single GPU every 6 to 12months. Ur being sheep's and u don't realise it. Next gen, console will finaly be 1080p native so no excuse for it to be sub HD. Next gen will be optimised so it will basicaly be on par with PC as far as eye perception of visuals are concerned for an average consumer. Sure next level of GPU may be able do fo 4k at high resolution soon but according to research conducted by steam. Most PC gamers play on single 24inch monitor so 4k won't make a difference to most. Console will do for most gamers plus u have better exclusives unless ur one of those geeks who play boring anti social RPG's.

LightofDarkness4083d ago

Have you not noticed you're reading and commenting actively on a website dedicated to videogames and their culture? You need look no further than the nearest mirror for a "super-geek".

solid_warlord4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

Would i still be a geek if i said i usualy play 2 casual games a year and i have not paid full retail price game for 2 year. Im a casual gamer not a geek who is willing to spend stupendous amount on GPU's every year. I see no value spending $$$ on GPU over next gen console. Hell, u can buy the next PS4 and 720 for the same price as highest end GPU. Don't be a fool, buy a console and be happy. 1080p and 60fps max is the sweet spot. Especialy if ur gaming on a monitor.

Bladesfist4083d ago

I need a good computer for my work, And by good I mean gaming good. So why should I buy a next gen console as well when it will probably be worse than my PC.

I run 2 x 22" Monitors

KING854083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

Lets get something out of the way. As mentioned before calling someone as "supergeek" as you phrased just makes yourself look quite juvenile. Secondly this myth of PC players buying a GPU every year is ridiculous. Their are those users who do that, but the majority of PC users don't. I have a GTX 680 and have no plans of buying a new GPU this year. Quite frankly most PC games don't utilize the power with exceptions of games like Metro 2033, Battlefield and I would say less than 10 more titles to add to the list. It has much to do with the resolution you play at and optimization of a game as Metro 2033 was not optimized well for PC.
I don't know if you're a PC player, and I'm not going to say you dont have any knowledge of gaming on PC, but i'll leave with you with a little advice.If you haven't played on PC, or if you have little to no knowledge of how it all works, then you really shouldn't be commenting about it. I see too many people try to justify and say that "people waste their money on GPUs". It's their money and they can use it however they please. I have no interest in SLI of a GTX 680, but I can understand those enthusiasts who have a 120hz monitor who are. People just have to understand that old proverb "to each his own". Don't try to convince someone otherwise by calling them names because in the end you lost the argument from the get go.

aliengmr4083d ago

I'm still rockin' a single GTX460.

Constant upgrades on PC is a myth. This GPU is for gamers with more money than sense.

Twignberries4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

@solid_warlord you're a solid_turd. You do realise some of us are currently gaming at 2560x1440 at 100fps+ and all you want out of next gen is 1080p 60fps. Dude get with the times, 4k gaming (for pc) is just around the corner! (as in most likely late 2013-early 2014)

P.s. now im not saying anyone is inferior or anything like that, but you make it sound like these next gen consoles are doing something revolutionary when in reality, its something pcs have done consistently for the last decade at least

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC15m ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer1h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
