Late next year most games will support the new api’s, the market share of Windows 10 should be enough by then and the Xbox console will be using DX12 for all there games, Vulcan can be fully used now, so yeah, good times ahead for us all.

I agree, even though I prefer and think PC’s are better, I don’t have a problem with consoles gamers, I’m just glad they now have the option of getting better hardware earlier rather than later, it’s a win win, console gamers that don’t want to upgrade still get to play the games as they’ve always done, gamers that want more have the choice in either the PC or newer console without losing their games library and we all benefit, PC and console gamers alike by games having more breathing room to move forward,the only real downside I see to this is if Sony and Microsoft pull a fast one and cut off support for the older consoles too early, I don’t think they will.

If we look on the PC, games can scale over a wide range of hardware and much weaker hardware and still work fine, a prime example is Crysis 3, a game that was released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, the PC version still looks good even compared to today’s games, that shows games can scale a lot and I suspect that more games will be designed with scalability in mind.

So to me it’s a win win for everyone, consumers, developers, PC, Sony and Microsoft.

Just shows the media bias 😀

why would you need to spend $2000 on GPU’s?? at the moment the best is 1080 not the titans well until 2nd august but there stupid price. 1080Ti will probably be a bit slower but also much cheaper

i will good luck with your upscaled 4K 30fps dude

they are closed off machines because you cant install anything you want. PC can have huge clocks because we have the thermal headroom to do it. When your cramming these parts into tiny cases they have to be underclocked otherwise they will overheat. doesnt make sense as to why you would purposely REDUCE the power output of the console from its rated spec. sure 6 TFLOPs is good but 7TFLOPs is even better and this is something you obviously dont understand.

You obviously dont know what it takes to run 4K max settings 60fps otherwise you wouldnt say that idiotic stuff

The PC gaming community needs more people like you. I appreciate your comment! Very mature, level headed and non elitest. You are one of the few that make PC gamers look good instead of bad.

I also game on PC but have all the consoles too, and try to spread the message that platform wars and competition just brings causes strife. Everyone should just be able to enjoy gaming on what they have and not feel inferior or superior to someone else because of plastic they bought from a store. PC will always, always be a step or two ahead of consoles in performance, but that’s not a bad thing. PC gamers deserve to have the best if they are willing to spend what it takes to get it. Consoles are great as a cheaper option, with their own exclusive games and better performance is on its way with Neo and Scorpio. Every body can win.

Yeah DX12 & Vulcan will be even more utilized by next holiday. I know EA’s one of the big companies jumpin on the new APIs. It’s crazy cuz there aren’t many games running on DirectX12, Mantle, and def not Vulcan. There’s alot of exciting stuff next yr imo

Point sgt_hammertime is making is clear and reasonable. These are just not “closed off machines”, instead these are highly-optimized hardware. I’m a PC gamer also but even I can consider the fact in what developers can do on consoles with 6tflops is pretty huge. As a PC gamer you should understand why PC games need huge clocks is because they’re discreet parts, right? If you didn’t know this then I don’t think your a “Triple A” PC gamer, whatever that means. Only reason you’ll be spending that kind of money is if you’re an artist or programmer engineering huge scripts which I doubt you are.
