calling a 4070 super Mid-Range shows how broken the GPU market is.
Well it is mid range, with it's 192 bit bus and ad 104 silicon. Just very overpriced.
If only world markets for goods were based off individual thoughts and opinions of what's low/mid/high tier/quality.
@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat very typical of certain age demographics, and nothing new. Probably are more concerned with bragging rights of what hardware they have over just loving to play video games with a health interest in all things tech. So when they don't have the finances because of age/work etc they complain about the things they envy, and are fake pc master racist towards anything console related....sad really
My GTX 550 Ti in 2011 had 2GB of GDDR5 at 192 Bit Bus. I consider this a low range card disguised as a mid range card priced like a high end card, thats how it was back then too @@DragonOfTheMortalKombat
Dude there are 4-5 other gpus stronger than it what are you expecting it to be high end ? I believe high-end gpus should be best 3 of the said company so in this case 4090-4080 (super or no super) and 4070ti super.
Whats worse? An 4070 super is considered midrange or that midrange is $600+?
Yes.
I had a midrange gtx 970 several years ago. It was around 300 quid new.
@@lucodeath Well, the gtx 970 was nearly as fast as the gtx 980 which was high end. The 980ti was enthusiast level. You could make the argument it was almost high end. The 950 and 960 were more midrange territory.
Yes, your wallet doesn't determine what's mid range - high end 😀
@@lucodeathAnd 20 years ago a midrange GPU cost less than £100. So what's your point?
ah 700Euro GPU is now "mid-range"
Pretty much, 25 percent increase in Fab Cost's, Shipping costs gone up, Inflation, Etc. I see good performance and value with 4070 Super at @599 USD. It's almost a 4070ti for 2 bills less.
@@Obie327 the thing that goes up the most here is nvidias margin (from 25% to 40% or something ridiculous?). its insane and people still bend over backwards to make up excuses for poor nvidia
@@MKR3238 I can still remember when Nvidia wasn't even a blip on the radar. I don't buy too many GPU's, But my recent purchased RTX 4070 Super fits my needs nicely. After the Intel ARK A770 LE I purchased a year ago, I just wanted something that works. (What a driver hell and tinkering pain in the butt!) Intel's drivers have gotten better and will replace my tired GTX 1060 GPU with it.
@@Obie327im glad intel is there at least as a option in terms of GPUs, Nvidia is becoming a joke with their products and how the way the artificially inflate prices
@@HShango I'm not too happy either with how Nvidia is handling pricing ether. Having Intel step in as a third player was a relief. A breath of fresh air even after seeing the stagnation and high pricing with the Red and Green camps. Mind share is great with this one. (Yoda/Nvidia) I will chime in and say that RTX 4070 Super is really good and might be worth checking out. Happy gaming! Peace!
I would surely hope that a GPU that costs more than a ps5 would outperform a ps5
even in 2024 we still havent seen an apu be as powerful as ps5.
@@dante19890
Memory bandwidth of ddr won’t allow it. Any such apu would need a large cache to make up for slow system memory
@@dante19890 Except for Apple's chips. Everything since the M1 Max (released in 2021) has been faster.
@@MelvinGundlach as good as apple chips might be they are no match for the ps5
@@dante19890 If it helps, consoles are effectively using APUs. Like the Xbox Series X uses an AMD 3700x/6700XT-ish combo that is tied together and uses the memory that the console has. That console has two types of RAM, though, so on games that need more than the higher performing RAM, you'll see a performance hit.
The "mid range" GPU alone is more expensive than the PS5. Nvidia's naming/ rebranding trick has been working really well. 70 series at the price of a 80 series but is still called mid range like a $329 970.
You seriously comparing the price of today to the price of 10 years ago? Have you not noticed the inflation of absolutely everything? Everything is considerably more expensive now even compared to 5 years ago let alone 10. A 970 is also comparable to a 4070, not a 4070 super. £330 in 2014 is worth £460 today, that’s just inflation, nothing else taken into account. A 4070 can be bought for £520. So with inflation taken into account, a 4070 is £60 more than a 970 was back in 2014. So stop talking crap, step out of the past and stop moaning about prices. Everything has gone up, and some things way more than the GPU market. What you gonna say next, that a 3080 released at £699? Did it ever sell for that? No course it didn’t. People were paying over 1k for it and it didn’t drop from that price until the 40 series was round the corner. The 4070 super is offering the performance of a 3080ti or better, for £570. Stop being so greedy and expecting more. It’s not a bad price. However the price of the 4080 and 4090 are ridiculous. But the 4070 super is a good price for what you are getting.
GTX 1070 was USD 400 with 8gb VRAM 6 years ago.
GTX 1060 beat the GTX 970, for under USD 300.
THE RTX 4060 can't beat a RTX 3060TI 😂😂😂

Sad times when a £/$ 600 gpu is mid range 😮
Yep, ideally 300-400 should be midrange, with top end being 600-1,000, with 1,000 being titan/4090 power. I'm ok with a 4080 at 750-800.
Exactly the whole PS5 including a controller costs less than just 1 part so I bloody well expect PCs selling parts at this price to outperform consoles
It was only 7 years ago when a top end card (1080ti) cost $700.
Dude the card is overpriced. The specs are midrange. Please try to understand this.

It is a midrange GPU technically. they are right. but that doesn't mean its good value
Well, there's 3 GPUs above it and 3 below it if you count the 3050 they just refreshed again. The 1070 was mid-range at $449 in 2016
Mid range GPUs are now the price of the latest generation of consoles now, what a sad time to be a PC gamer
that always was the case but the thing is that this gpu costs MORE than that lmao
This is the thing, I appreciate the comparison and find it interesting, but you can pick up a PS5 for £450 and still get these games and have an enjoyable experience, while that price point won't even get you a mid-range GPU, let alone an entire mid-range system.
What do you mean? I can buy a PC for 600 quid that outperforms a console in most cases. Aside from the obviously faulty ports it is a great time to be a PC gamer.
Can it not be assumed that people who prefer consoles still buy themselves a computer from time to time?
@@uste-ru5rx Very easily. A 5600/6600 combo will be better than a PS5. However they share their differences. I own both a powerful PC and a PS5. Some days I just wanna boot up my 5 get on my bed and get straight to playing without having to mess with any settings. Having a LG C3 OLED TV kinda helps too ahaha. For SP games the 5 is my choice. For MP and some ahem sailing the vast open seas of gaming ahem I go to my PC. Let's not forget though that the PS5 is 3 1/2 years old by now. And it still holds good value.
calling a 4070 super a mid range gpu is beyond crazy
Lmao from the title I was like WTF. XD
You consider it anything else?
@@3k3k3 a $600-$650 USD card is midrange? NVIDIA really has done a number on their consumers.
it is mid range GPU. High end GPUs are 4080/4090 and low end of 4060.
@@michalrv3066 No 4070 - 4080 Super are high end and 4090 is enthusiast. 4050 is entry level and 4060 - 4060 Ti is mid -tier. These are all Nvidia claims.
If anything the current well selling 12gb 3060 is about as mid range as i'd go, anything more than that costs more than £300 and that's not a mid range card price imo.
The 970 was mid range at just under 400 $ and the us dollar has been hyper inflated since. Read a book.
This comparison is not fair. 2020 Hardware at $499 vs 2024 $600 video card. (Only the video card , not the full pc)
Of course this comparison is dumb. But he wanted to shit on the PS5 anyway and It generated click bait money.
To be fair, unlike graphics cards from 2020 the PS5 hasn't gotten meaningfully cheaper.
Yeah? How many people bought a PS5 in 2020 for retail price? 👍🤡🤡🤡
@@davidfaustino4476About 7.8 million
Just a comparison. Its not meant to be fair and its obvious this gpu would destroy the console hardware. It’s getting boring comparing the XB and PS5 with next to no differences.
Lol at people complaining that the comparison isn't fair. The point is to collect data that illustrates how much of a gulf there is between both systems. The fact that the 4070 performs better is something you already knew before clicking on the video, that's not what Rich is trying to prove. The point is to show you how much more performance you get. If this stuff doesn't interest you just move on. And yeah, calling this card mid range seems weird, but when you consider that the best card costs more than twice as much, it actually makes sense. Unfortunately that's the current state of the gpu market.
I need me some more Rich’s ratios. I would like to know the performance per watt for PS5 vs these PCs, even if it’s just a summary chart.
The things people are most interested in. You test your lightbulbs that way too?
@@McnoobletThat's how you test things. Anything can be made faster.
Consoles are made at power vs cost and affordable for the mass market.
Most PC Players worldwide have much lower end gpus then the 4070. Go look at steam gpu charts. Lol
Comparing with GPU to GPU alone the RTX 40 Ada is the current most efficient GPU architecture out there on TSMC N4+ compared to PS5 RDNA 2 with TSMC N7 and apparently this 4070 Super according to DF review is the new most efficient GPU on the entire RTX 40 lineup which is unexpected, so i think with all that the 4070 Super is likely going to beat the hell out of PS5 again when it comes to power to performance per watt, as long as both are measured with same clockspeed and same performance, not standard as that won't be fair test at all considering the 4070 Super is more than 2x faster than PS5 GPU anyway.
@@ShadowRomeo1784 It's not really unexpected. Before the 4070 Super, the 4080 was the most efficient closely followed by the 4090. Hell, GamersNexus recently did a video on this and found that exactly as you said: The Ada series is basicaly the most efficient discrete graphics card line to date.
tfw a midrange GPU costs more than a console. I think a PC build for 1k or 1.2k at best should be compared to the PS5, not just the 4070 Super.
Well, the consoles have low-end performance. A 6650xt is basically the closest comparable GPU, and that's $250 new, not on sale. A 5600G has comparable CPU performance, and that's $125. You could easily make a comparable performance PC for $600, and then you don't have to pay $80/year for PSN.
The thing is. PC at 1k will always have a power advantage. But there are two major things that hold PCs back.
Optimization, and dated storage architecture. Although I wouldn’t say dated because the new faster storage architecture right now it’s even been taken advantage yet.
Only hellblade is the first game to take good advantage of it. Which is the first game I’m 3 years
@@balloonb0y677 with a pc we have the luxury to optimise for each game. High/mid DOESNT matter so much more power to do this. If there’s issues with a title at release it will normally get an update or patched. Consoles need optimising by devs as there’s little options so it’s critical.
@@colinbrydon7659 yes. That’s a pc advantage. You can’t don’t the same with consoles because they’re made with different strengths. Consoles are made more complex than a traditional computer. Hence why they call it console.
@link99912 PS5 is equivalent to a RTX 3080 and also ps5 has 16gb vram and optimisation
To make a 4070 super machine you need at least 1000 bucks for the motherboard, CPU, RAM, Memory, GPU, AIO, Power Supply and casing. With keyboard and mouse of course as PS5 comes with a controller.
PS5 base price is $450.
Idk how this is comparable.
Somehow he forgot to mention that part.
It’s not comparable whatsoever. A full build is twice the price, it better be twice the performance. Minimum.
It's no different from how they compare the PS4 with the PS5.
Majority of PS5 users also pay $60-$170 per year plus controllers, plus they probably bought an SSD which tends to be pretty expensive if it is proprietary. PS5 gets a plus there, even though when I bought my 2tb NVME for my PS5 it was somewhere around $250 after launch (they kind of trapped you into that with less than 1Tb of storage), not so much with Xbox as that SSD stays pretty expensive. PS5 Elite Controller? you want those 2 extra buttons? $200.
2 times the performance 2 times the cost. Makes sense to me.
I think calling the 4070 super a "mid-range" card is incorrect. I think it's more appropriately a lower high-end card. In fact, I think the principle reason the prices have been so abysmal this gpu generation for both nVidia and AMD is because most of the cards are high-end cards, some lower-range high-end like 4070 & 7800 xt, some mid-range high-end like 4070 ti and 7900 xt, some high-range high-end like 4080 and 7900 xtx, and one super high-end (the 4090). I think the real mid-range non-high-end cards will be those of the 4060 ti and 7700 xt with the cards below those making up the low-end base level like 4060 and 7600.
Is correct way to call it mid-range because it suppose to be 4060Ti and 4060ti is mid-range and the 4070ti suppose to be 4070 but the cant sell a mid range for 600 so they fucked up they names so yeas is a mid-range card.
The 4070 Super's chip is actually what a 4060 Super should be for $299, but anyway, that's the harsh reality of the current PC market.
You are totaly wrong. Any card running 1440p ultra every game with high fps without any problem is high end or any card playing 4k 60+on ultra 90% of games is high end so 7900xt is there. Imagine calling it lower high end.
Mid-range GPU are now 500-600 bracket. Mining and Covid ruined everything. AMD and Nvidia wont drop prices now.
Prices are high because the companies are still price gouging and they know people will pay it.
I mean, that's kind of a weird comparison in my books. The 4070 Super is a 650$ dollar card from 2024, the PS5 (digital) a 499$ (or even 399$ digital) system from 2020.
I still think that we shouldn't call these cards like 4070S budget or mid-tier cards when they cost like 600 bucks.
I agree that the comparison isn't fair but the 4070 is mid-tier. It's just that the top tier are extremely expensive. Also the PS5 is a console from 2020 but it's still around the same price, graphics cards are much more likely to drop in price as the next gen comes out.
When there are 4070Ti,4070Ti Super,4080,soon 4080 Super and 4090 as well as AMDs RX7900XT and RX7900XTX , how would you call it other than a midrange?
Well upper midrange tends to be used.
I call it upper midrange.
It serves as a great comparison for those considering to upgrade, but can't decide if they should do PS5 or upgrade a weak PC.
Or even purchase completely new one.
To see how much extra performance they get for their money.
@@GameslordXY 70 cards are performance-segment cards, they always have been - doesn't matter if nvidia releases 25 cards with ti, super, super ti etc etc
It doesn't matter, it's sad but, it IS midrange rince there is a 4070 ti (super), 4080 (super) and 4090. It may be expensive as hell, but that is how they are classified.
Nobody is saying it is meant to be fair. Is is supposed to be seen as how much gpu have ,,progressed"(cough... price/performance... cough) since then
branding a 600-700$ GPU "mid range" is just marketers' wet dream. Looking at actual installed volume, it's a top-10% card; most of the market is way shy of 400$
Nah, everyone knows that 600-700$ GPUs being marketed as "entry level range" is what gives marketers intense orgasms!

In your EuroGamer Reviews of this new products, I cannot see benchmark numbers for the 4090 nor the 7900 XTX in your comparison tool, I only see up to the 4080 and the 7900 XT; are you planning to add the two missing GPUs in those tools???
Most people looking to buy these mid-range cards don't need to compare them to top tier products. I'd have thought this was obvious.
This is a pretty silly comparison, a 4070 Super, as in, just the card on its own, is more expensive than an entire PS5. Not to mention it being the latest generation of silicon from Nvidia, compared to a system with RDNA2 architecture which is already 4 years old at this point...
You get 2x the performance (and up to almost 4x with frame gen) at the same settings for roughly 2x the price on a PC build with the 4070 super 🫠
@@killerhurtalot2,5 x the price if we are being honest
@KopfdesRiesen $1000 is more than enough for a mid range desktop with a 4070 super if you're not spending like $100 on a case, overspending on a 850w PSU, and settling for 16 GB ram and etc...
If you spend more money on newer hardware it will be faster and offer more features. No one expects a PS5 to outperform a 4070 Super. So it doesn’t matter what the cost multiplier is, it remains a silly comparison.
@@RazielAU You mean that it's just some people can spend more money for a better performance in game...
No thanks, I'll be sticking to PS5 at least I don't have to tinkering with it each time something updated be it windows or GPU drivers and it messed up the "optimized" setting so it's no longer optimized, and messing around in the game settings is a rabbit hole I wished I never got myself into felt like I'm worried too much about it instead of just enjoy the game.
I have that happened too many times on my RTX 3080Ti laptop.
The regular fight to keep games running smoothly is why I always have console around they're just works, and performance are much more predictable and consistent.
And there's nothing comparable between them, GPU that still needs another $1000+ worth of hardware and accessories vs a complete ready to use console.
It's actually very simple to visualize It:
PS5's GPU rasterization = 2070 super = something between the 3060 and 3060ti = 4060
While doing RT = 2060 super = 3060 = ~15% worse than the 4060
Except the numbers literally don't bear that out. The 4070 performs about 3x better.
@@davidfaustino4476 Exactly. We're regularly seeing triple performance from the 4070 at matching settings.
It’s not quite as straight forward, and can vary slightly, however compared to ps5 a 4060 has twice the power with circa +25% performance / 4070 3x the power with 2x or +100% performance. This only works on like for like comparisons. RXT obviously has frame gen and can utilise dlss which is phenomenal on supported games.

I upgraded my PC in 2010 with a GTX 480, and it was far ahead of PS3/360 consoles, like this comparison. I remember the graphics were also far ahead though and it is less so nowadays, even if you get double the framerate, you don't get "double" the visuals. I wonder if DF could do a retro comparison between consoles and PCs in this early 2010s era of early DX11.
Visuals look good no matter what you play on these days. Pc is better, and far more noticeable when on a high quality 4k screen. My 3080 in native 4k looks superior to my ps5 in dynamic 4k.
Diminishing returns. If you go back to 2000 in your comparison you could get double the frame rate and more than double the visuals. Due to the complexity and fidelity of current visuals, the increased quality perception requires exponential computing power, not geometric.
As an adult I'm now able to financially build a high end gaming PC these days, but theres just less incentive to do so nowadays. I guess I've missed the era where PC gaming was leagues ahead of consoles in all areas.
@@craigsampson3386Same. Eventually I'll get a new PC because I'm into simracing. But in general I don't think the experience is worth the money. I've been playing BF2042 lately on XBOX and I chose last gen over the current one because if I must use a gamepad, then I'd rather not play against KBM, and graphics are simply good enough.

Bonjour, qu'elle option graphique retiré vous sur PC pour être plus ou moins a la même qualité que sur PS5 ?
Have been waiting for this 🤙🏿
a 1060/i5 back in the day clears the ps4 OG by a mile and cost almost the same. can't say that for anything that can match a ps5 right now. you cannot build a rig that matches a ps5 equivalent for 499 USD.
What do you mean? There are several "console killer" builds out there.
u can spend like $700 and build a pc that outperforms the ps5 and pc comes with many more benefits than consoles which is why so many more ppl are switching to pc past few years
You cannot for 500 I agree. However you can for 700 like said above and for that extra 200 bucks you also get extra functionality. So proportionally you get the 'same' value. But I do agree with your original premise. Consoles, especially a second hand Xbox series x for example cannot be beat for the money. In my country you can get a second hand series X for 350 bucks.
If you include only the gpu and cpu like you have then you can.
Also dont underestimate the game price differences between the platforms PC games are mostly cheaper
I’ve looked at buying a midrange PC. Even without a monitor it looks like 1200-1300 pounds. What has happened to the hardware industry? When I got my first PC 10 years ago 1300 pounds would of got you a very goood high med/high pc
GPU: cryptomining ballooned prices 2-3x, then after mining finally died off, prices fell but not even close to as much. They're banking that desperate gamers will see 1.5x-2x what it should cost as a bargain. But 4070 super lack of sales indicates otherwise. Then, DDR5 came out and is too expensive. And its motherboards are too expensive. And chip shortages get blamed. And SSD makers are colluding to lower supply to raise prices. Add in post-covid inflation and there's your sum total.
I may have missed, but did he eve mentions what CPU was used on PC?
I primarily game on consoles. Really wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a bit more powerful console hardware. With that said, when you compere the value you get for what you pay, you get so much more for your money with a console than with a PC that is anything from "mid range" and up. I do not want the console market to end up being as broken as especially the GPU market for PCs is. The pricing there is just ridiculous.
Depends, PC and console are very different. Hard to really compare value since PC does way more than a console could. Don't think I can run Blender on my PS5 like I could on my PC for instance. There is more things I could do on a PC, there is more value for me there.

lies you'll be back
The most demanding setting in a game is resolution. Stop pushing those extreme resolutions and you will be shocked how much better 1080p high refresh feels like compared to 4k 60. To me 60fps feels like a stuttery mess when you've played 144hz+ for a year.
Really depends on the person. I take 1440p 90fps any day over 1080p 180fps
Just the price of a 4070 super is more than the entire digital console plus 2 controllers plus some games. At that price, is it any surprise that it outperforms the PS5 by a factor 2?
The funny thing is it really doesn't outperform to that extent either. These are cherry picked games, situations and I question the frametimes, as I've never had such flawless frametimes on PC especially into longer gaming sessions, whereas consoles have always had rock solid frametimes.
@@redmoogle it’s a comparison between a gpu at 33/flops and 10t/tflops. The whole advantage to the rtx cards is the dlss which is phenomenal. Direct comparison is fine but as soon as you introduce retracing the ps5 will plummet in frame rates the 4070s not as much, so 2x performance will be 3x the performance. To say the opposite is just delusional. Consoles do well what they do but sorry no comparison between these two gpus.
@@colinbrydon7659 4070S is okay for RT but you really need a 4090 to have good framerates with it, otherwise it's just too much of an FPS loss. It's also limited to a very specific, narrow style of game---open world FPS style and some action games. It won't matter in RTS, sports, fighting games, platformers or any hand drawn style game. So for instance, if you played Mario, Zelda, Smash, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Sonic, DQ, none of those games benefit from RT.

I would like to remind everyone that PS5 sells for $450 with disc and controller (everyone seems to forget this thing), so the 4070 super alone costs 2 times more, a complete PC 4-5 times more, compared to a 4 year old console.
I just built a 4070 super build.. pretty baller. Havent got my 1440p monitor yet though
So a price above the average is the base level for an entry GPU? NVIDIA's marketing 101!

And comparison with PS5 is pretty pointless.
At best SX and PS5 are equivalent to 4060 Ti GPU which is a baseline 1080p gpu considering native res and fps with RT
Baseline 1080p and 1440p? People don't run games at benchmark settings. Even then, my PC with a worse gpu than a 4070 super runs Starfield at 1440p 90+ FPS basically everywhere. In New Atlantis, it dips to the 70s, though. RDR2 does around 100 FPS. Spider-Man Remastered does 100 FPS with max RT.
There are people still using a 2080 Ti at 4k because you don't have to wait for a developer to make a patch to get the performance you want.

No, it just shows where the PC hardware has moved.

Thinking of switching to PC from series X and looking at this card. My question is can this do native 1440p/4K or do you NEED upscalers/ and frame gen.
You should be fine with native 1440. Roughly 60fps on nearly everything at max incl retracing. For more difficult games like Alan wake 2 run with dlss which will upscale to 1440 with max settings you will get circa 80-90fps. Dlss is the next gen when it comes to the rtx cards. It’s phenomenal you won’t even notice it’s not native. Just get a good cpu as it is used more when using any regen like dlss. Consoles need good optimisation, pc gamers you can tweek till you find the sweet spot.
@@colinbrydon7659 I’ve actually been debating on getting a 4050 gaming laptop. Have you tried those? Are they good?
If you do native 1440 the frame rate will still be higher then ps5 and seriesx which both use upscaling themselves. I have both consoles and a 3080 10gb and that difference is already big

DF get their graphics cards for free so they're out of touch with reality when it comes to prices. $600 (or likely €750) mid-range? F@#k off
1440p (Ultra or high settings) with DLSS Quality enabled is the way to go with this GPU for great looking graphics and high framerates.
1440p Is in general a great resolution to game on. Sharper than 1080p, but still very economical. With a decent card you get a great framerate (90+ often), even when setting graphical details to ultra.
Having to run games at 960p on brand new GPU is ridiculous imo. DLSS looks good when it's set to quality at 4k, giving you 1440p upscaled. Anything else looks too soft.
Although, I've seen Cyberpunk path tracing benchmarks, with DLSS quality, on a 4070ti super at 1440p, which still sees dips below 60.
So you either drop dlss to balanced, or you need a 4080 for a smooth 60fps experience, with path tracing at 1440p, at quality.
Would be nice to get a video that looks at per-dollar performance, because price for price though, it seems you're way better getting a PS5, or is there a similar priced PC build that can beat it?
At best you can build PC with ryzen 3600 and 3060, which will be comparable to PS5 - for 700 bucks. And you dont get DualSense for that price, which is 60 bucks.
Building a new PC on Newegg with the specs DF is likely using for this video comes to $1300 US.
That is quite a 'midrange' machine. If you opt for a PS5 or Xbox for ~$500 you are likely going to get stuck with 30 fps from time to time. An alternative would be an AM4 machine that is still using DDR4 and a 4060 to game at 1440P for ~$750.
I find it interesting that DF stayed well clear of the cost numbers and just said "mid range PC is TWICE what a console is!!" They could have just made a video with an AM9 and a 4090 and said "WOW CONSOLES SUCK! Just don't look at our Newegg bill!" LOL
A bit more expensive in other markets, but with correct display resolution and setting gaming (and other many uses of a PC) can be very satisfactory for a price if sensible choices are made. But not all settings make sense from a quality point of view and much more is needed than ultra settings reviews flooding on youtube... DLAA or FSR AA native are not use in order to put bigger FPS numbers, while the number we will focusing on is Rendered Pixels per second, that video flow is the overall input we can get to our eyes that outputs from our system... that is pix/s = FPS * resoultionWidthINPixels * resolutionHeightInPixels.... nowadays any RTX 4060 is perfroming better or more efficiently on the 1440p to 2160p range than in 1080p or lower resolution and so happens in 4090 that are limited by cpus but also vram specs, pcie, lack of optimization of game code, etc...
I've been leaning towards this due to the low power consumptiom, size, and weight over the 4070 Ti Super. And 12GB VRAM might be sufficient until the next console generation rolls around at least for 1440p or when using DLSS and a notch lower texture setting.
A $600 GPU isn't midrange. Nvidia wants to pretend like it is, but why are you helping them in such an awful goal?
You are wrong. It is midrange. Because its not the top of the line performer. 4090 sets out the bar for highrange cards. Period. Whether you can or can't afford a 600 usd gpu is a different story (I can't either btw,). DF is not helping Nvidia whatsoever. They are just pointing out the numbers in comparaison. And they are sad.

Damn my 3070 potato pc... 😅
The sad part is most of thede guys don't even tell you about all of the settings missing inside of the coding and actual build for ps5 games it's how they get the results so even getting a gpu that performs identically is still better on the pc then the ps5. I remember when someone finally deep dove into the actual build of games and it was insane how textures were lowered to 1080p, shadows lowered to 1080p all in 4k resolution so it wasn't actually ever 4k. It was like playing a really nice 1080p game on pc and doing comparisons in my own home proved that. Sure ps5 looked sharp and great but peoppe just don't get it. So yeah you can't even come close to replicating the ps5 vs the 4070 super truely. It's just not even close it's more then double when accounting for that stuff for sure.

Many people here are missing the point. The only reason you even get a gaming PC is because you want to exceed that of a console, or have a productivity machine. PC gaming isn't a financial investment, hardware depreciates to the point its worthless, like the RTX 20 series for example.
If your sole purpose is to play video games at an extremely affordable price, then you get a console. Consoles have provided accessible gaming to all classes of people and will continue to do so.
I am fortunate enough to have them all, but if I were to choose I would just get a console and an OLED TV.
What is PS+
That's just not true at all. PC gaming is extremely flexible, there's room for all budgets. A build with an R5 3600 16 GB of RAM and RX 6600XT will play all games at great quality. An old RX 580 can run games similar to a series S.
Even folks with the anemic Nintendo switch are playing and the steam deck runs circles over that system.
Most gamers are casual gamers . Casual gamers do not know a 4090 from a toaster.
Even rich casual gamers just what the plug and play simplicity of a console on their $7000 wall mounted TV.
The comparison is a bit absurd. On a €449 PS5 connected to the TV, The Last of Us (TLOU) runs at 35 fps, while on a €699 4070 (without a PC...), you get 0 fps.
Except it's NOT a "mid-range GPU" when it costs more than a whole console.
PC gaming in the last 4 years has been rather shite especially for GPUs then after that game ports to PC as well.
For decades we've used Native resolution and now it's been upscaling for everything. It's like AMD and Nvidia could release a decent GPU but don't want to and would rather we use FSR/DLSS from now on.

Frl. But at the same time everyone is falling for this scam, specially pc gamers. Everyone literally wants this tech because it’s “free fps”
It’s not, every single kind of tech like this always has a draw back, because you could never get better visuals and fps than the real thing.
And the funny thing is, when consoles use upscaling it’s a joke, but when pcs use it, it’s like the holy grail.

Everything in frame gen just looks mushing. Also it’s worst part is in action instances because there’s an enormous amount of clipping.
