Do not downvote this guy, he is 100% correct. Enthusiasts like myself will overclock the hell out of our hardware and are very much willing to pay a little extra for the extra overclocking capability. My 5930K is one of those higher overclockers, capable of easily hitting 5GHz with very little increase to uncore voltages. There are people who buy trays of processors and individually overclock each and sell the highest overclockers for massive profit.

Pfft air cooled is for n00bs ;) But seriously, you are right, but what it comes down to overclocking capability. Founders cards are more refined for more overclocking goodness, much like how Ferrari Enzos are hand built compared to a mass produced car. Mass produced graphics cards will have a certain number of imperfections on the die, whereas the founders are handpicked for their perfection. Much like CPUs, some people will buy hundreds of CPUs and overclock each one and then sell the better...

Pretty much. But more "buy our proprietary Blu-ray player that you need to pay a monthly fee to use." Ive built an insanely powerful PC just with the money saved from not using consoles.

Just get a PC. No point spending all that money for a couple games held hostage by greedy corporation.

PM me, I'll help you out and diagnose the problem. It shouldn't be crashing

Hasn't crashed for me once and its modded to hell

Technically it is in game, However consoles cannot run that level, thus the graphics have to be downgraded for the lowest common denominator

Ill probably go with 2, maybe 3 1080s

Well, time to upgrade from my 980 SLI setup

Honestly that was a horrible mistake on microsofts part. Xbox squared would have sounded so much better, and the condensed form of the name wouldnt be xbone

You mean playing the hostage games when they could be set free on PC?

Pfft, Ive never listened to you and I never will ;)

Me too, thinking back, Gran Turismo 3 was 60fps/1080i, and that was on the PS2.

@GameNameFame
Don't know why people are disagreeing with you, you are technically right. A console is 3 PC hardware generations out of date at minimum on its own launch day because of the consoles development itself. A console has nowhere near the power of even a modern entry level graphics card, let alone the power of 4 enthusiast level graphics cards in SLI/Crossfire. It doesn't matter how optimized you make a game, it'll never have the same fidelity and scalability of ...

Yes, you do. The headset won't work without the camera, as it is needed for basic headtracking. So without it, you have a $400USD paperweight.

You need the camera to get basic headtracking, of which all these things you have to buy separately are built into the headset of the vive and rift, making them cheaper than the PSVR

I told you all, but you didn't believe me.

So you're saying 240fps? I have SLI'd 980s and don't even get 240 fps. Hz is the refresh rate of the monitor, just because it runs at 120Hz doesnt mean its doing 120fps. The PS4 can barely do 30 @ 1080, so the only way its going to get 60 fps or higher is to destroy the graphical fidelity of the game.

@Col

Those baby seals want to party too, you know.

60fps isn't enough for VR, take it from someone with an Oculus Rift, you need 60fps per eye or you will feel incredibly ill.
