I ran my last PC "4790k" for 8 years with one GPU upgrade 5700 XT. I built my 2023 build with 64GB of ram and a 4070 TI. I honestly don't think I'll be building a new PC for a long time. Maybe a GPU upgrade down the road.
I'm in a odd PC build schedule, Sony usually releases their next console before I build something new. Many times they end up being more powerful than my current PC at launch. So I just buy that and play console games until PC offers something substantially better for the price. I felt upscaling, frame gen and RT offered something the consoles really couldn't do well.
I think they will catch up next round and there will be a big swing from PC to consoles again because of the prices. Gaming PCs took off in the last 5 years with the younger generation. That's great but now they will be priced out of it. They'll probably go back to console. Many will forget about PC, at least for a little bit since GTA6 will be on console first.
Great article. Sad on the X5/X7 compatibly. Unsure if Krikzz need to update them or it's an A3D issue. I'm surprised this article didn't mention that Marshell is the same guy who created the original Ultra HDMI mod.
