10 PC Games That Look Way Too Real And What You Need To Run Them

Consoles have their advantages (mainly exclusives), but if you want the absolute best looking games and the smoothest performance, then PC gaming is the way to go.

what you need ?, 400 bucks or less for a PS4 or a xbox one all games mentioned are 90 % in current consoles and if you go and look the comparison almost all are identical to the PC counterpart, the only game you won't find is Arma 3, not the big deal imo. ;)

Still if you have almost $1500 dlls to spare you can play those in the highest settings ultra 4k powa baby!!!! :D

"400 bucks or less for a PS4 or a xbox one"

It depends on the PC, but the vast majority of gaming PCs are going to look and, more importantly, perform MUCH better than the base PS4 or Xbox One. If you want a console to rival a mid-grade PC then you have to spend $500 for the One X. You'll save a couple hundred from buying a PC that will still have better frame rates due to the superior CPU.

Performance is irrelevant to the context of this discussion.

This is a discussion about looks. As of this moment, most of the games referred to in the article are playable with scaled up 4K in consoles. And furthermore to the context of the discussion, those scaled up resolutions are identical to native 4K to the naked eye.

So please, refrain from adding conception made by yourself and stay on topic. Thank you.

@AcidDvl

lol....read the article. And why are you even talking about consoles if you are so anal about staying on-topic. The article is only discussing PCs. You are confused.

@Razzer

You were literally the one who single out the console quote.

Please keep some consistency.

[Razzer]

You mean the quote that shows you are consistently wrong? lol

[Lynx0207]

If you want to play them - sure. But they are not "almost identical", sometimes there is huge difference but to see it you must play both, watching videos is not enough.

Most of my PC gaming is at 4K 60 fps, but never at Ultra settings. If I was looking at a still picture the entire time then those ultra settings might be meaningful. When was playing Far Cry 5 I damn sure didn't miss that extra foliage or slightly sharper rock sitting on the ground. But I definitely appreciated the 60 FPS all game.

[AcidDvl]

Once again, performance isn't mentioned once in the context of the discussion. Completely irrelevant.

[Razzer]

Bullshit. From the article:

“in this post I’ll list the best looking PC games and which graphics cards you need to run them at every resolution with the highest (or highest possible) settings and get the buttery smooth 60 FPS experience. ”

And I’ll add whatever relevant points to the discussion as I see fit regardless.

[AcidDvl]

"And I’ll add whatever relevant points to the discussion as I see fit regardless."

Sure, let's keep adding topics to the discussion and move further away from the initial discussion. Because that's clearly the way to discuss a topic.

Get a grip son.

[Razzer]

I’m not the one who is completely confused “son”. That is all you.

Now what part of that quote don’t you understand? I’m going to try and make this clear to you, but I’m not hopeful.

Ultra settings are not really needed as there usually is not a very noticeable difference between High and Ultra.

[Razzer]

Yep. You would have to zoom in on select areas like DF does to really notice major differences. And frankly, the same is true of full 4K. I scale down as needed to get 60 FPS.
