There's also no hassle of upgrading your system. If a PC game decides to utilize DX12 only, it would, effectively, render your Rs. 80,000 graphics card useless just a few years down the line. Consoles, at the very least, retain the same level of performance across the platform for a good many years.
Apparently every single card from Nvidia out there right now (4xx to 9xx series) will support DX12 thanks to a driver update. No need to worry about DX12-only games. Also: there will be a decent boost to performance in a number of scenarios due to this upgrade as well. DX12 is coming at the end of this year, and it could be the best thing to happen to PC gaming in recent years.

Unless my memory deceives me, I remember reading that certain DX12 features will be exclusive to dedicated DX12-only cards. Not good news if the latest 40k GPU 'out-features' your 80k card.

Certain features yes, but the entire card won't go to waste like you claimed earlier. You won't be able to get those features on the consoles either if the old GPUs aren't getting them. Point being, buying a 750Ti would be pretty good for the time being. It will support DX12. And even if the future games go out to become DX12 only, it will support them A-Okay as per reports.

Isn't console gaming cheaper than PC gaming? Retail game discs for consoles are widely available and can be sold while PC games are mainly digital and hence, non-tradeable.

^^This. It's Just Pretty much not worth it to buy pc for around 50k Get a console buy games, play them then sell them to buy new games.

True. Guess I exaggerated with the 'useless' comment of my earlier post. A part of me is glad that DX12 is, to some extent, backwards-compatible with older cards. This wasn't the case with earlier DX versions I believe.

Then don't buy 80k card stick with mid range like 960 then change it for dx12 card later with mid. You can enjoyee Games at 1080p maxed everything almost in every game. cards will suppirt dx12 with driver update still if some dx12 features are not available in old cards your card is not utter useless you can pay dx12 titles. Also you can't compare graphics of a console with pc and when it comes to exclusives pc has more than consoles. And pc has backwards compatibility.

i switched to console gaming back in 2009 now i am switching back to pc due to graphics superiority.

U r all right i too have some money to spend and am looking at pcs
Reason
Ps4 games are 5 k each new
Steam sales can get u a game such as arkham nights for 500rs only with complete upgrade packages this was in december
As for ps4 u pay 45k one game 50k extra controller 6.5k ps4 membership to play games online 6k per year so a totall of 62-63k not 45k as ur initial investment
Now
I5 4460
H97 mobo
8gb ram
R9 280 or 280x
Plus hdd and psu and case
All comes out to 65-70k which will not displease u ever for 3 years at least
As in windows 10 xbox games will be able to be played on pc and eventually all games will be avaliable on pc hoping so so my lovingly advice would be to get a pc
Also i jave an xbox and psp and ps2 and every nintendo console so i am not a pc fanboy infact i dont own a gaming pc now just a laptop
xbox Games on pc. Are you serious! To my knowledge you can hook your console to pc with windows 10 still condone will be emulating games . i might be wrong

PS4 if you prefer some great exclusives, free games from PS+, and better performing multiplatform games. Its major weakness is that PSN is just not as good as Xbox Live but you will always find great discount on old games relatively quickly so if you don't have the option to go physical, you can wait and get a game for cheap digitally, which will be cheaper than retail. Also Digital games are usually cheaper for us compared to retail. A $50 PSN card can cost you 5k or even lower (if you know a good seller) and you can get a retail game for $60 or about <=6k, which is a really good deal. I am talking about a brand new game. Now imagine when these games are on sale (which happens frequently) and also get weekly sales on PSN. So if you stay mostly digital, you can get make a good backlog for cheap.

Don't listen to people telling you that PS4 games are expensive. They are not. They are only expensive if you want them day one, the price drops relatively quickly for the 2nd hand copies as time passes, and then there is always digital.

Still, if you are not convinced for getting PS4, you can go for Xbox One as well. You will get a better quality network and some decent exclusive too. Xbox One also has a PS+ equivalent but the games are usually not as good as PS+. No AAA games yet as well. But the bad thing about Xbox One is that it is weaker heardware mean games are not the best visually or performance wise. Secondly Xbox One is not that popular here in Pakistan so second hand games are hard to find here. But Xbox One also gets digital game sales on cheap. Sometimes the deals are really good like 50% to 70% off. This applies to both PSN and Xbox Live.

Lastly if you want cheap gaming (piracy) and can risk buying cheap game keys from shady resellers (russian etc) then you can go for PC gaming. PC gaming gets a lot of sale digitally, which is better than Xbox Live and PSN. But with PC gaming, the exclusives are not really blockbuster AAA games. There is no Uncharted, Gears of War, Quantum Break, Bloodborne etc on PC. So you will only be able to play AAA multiplatform games, but at a better visual quality and performance than consoles. But of course, this also depends on the hardware you buy. Also don't listen to the silly comments saying you can run at 60+ fps. I mean who the heck even plays at 60+ fps? The only ones who can manage this feat in the latest games are the one with an SLI rig. If you want to run any game at 60 fps, you will need to tinker with visuals and waste a lot of time on it. PC games can also get bad ports resulting in games that don't seem to be doing much visually but are performing worse on your hardware. PC online is not the best TBH. I'd rate it lower than PSN and Xbox Live.

So yeh, this is a lengthy reply but you can read it and decide yourself. Good luck and happy gaming.
Yes for great exclusives you have to reference all the unreleased games?? lol

PC has whole slew of free2play games and exclusive AAA like (Blizzard, Indie, SIM games etic)

The only free online platform is PC. Where ONLINE IS COMPLETELY FREE. And how it is not better then XBL and PSN

Yeah to play console games wait for second hand copies or sales lol (or just buy cheap PC games at the release with industry standard STEAM SALES)

People dont play with 60+FPS. But consoles dont even play 30+ FPS in most titles.

PS4 has shitty ASS CREED and RESI REV 2 ports so yeah.

XBOX is complete nut of a console with its exclusive HALO's almost unplayable multiplayer portion.

GO PLAY YOUR REMASTER STATION 4 with $60 PSN subscription and wait for 1 half decent AAA exclusive after 6 months haha

Certain features are exclusive but most DX11.2 cards will work just fine.

Developers will not ditch all the PC community for few DX12 capable PC machines. This is basic logic. They want to SELL their game.

It took half a decade for DX 11 only game to arrive.

I think on a budget you should get a pc. you can always upgrade by parts later, the resale is good. If something blows up you don't have to re-buy the whole thing. I have used plenty of second hand hardware and never ever had a single issue. Buy from PG market from trusted sellers, I am sure you will have good experience.

I have not seen any ps4 game selling for 1500 rupees, let alone 500 rupees. May be you saw ps3 games being sold? To be honest with you, why don't you get a Ps3? it has a GREAT library of games, most of it is now below 1500 rupees range. And ps3 has support for atleast 2-3 years on gaming. Not to mention you can get a great ps3 in under 35k with some games thrown in the deal.

Best advice. PS3 is a much better (cheaper) platform right now then PS4 or XBOX.

I am sorry but each of your post reeks of ignorance for PC platform.

Do you even play on PC in like last 10 years or do you even visit trade section.

You can buy a whole account from the buyer. For example ADVANCED WARFARE account goes for like Rs.2k and Rs.1.5k with decent negotiiaion skills.

Now please link me to cheapest ADVANCED WARFARE copy for PS4?? Rs. 5000-6000 (lol) with additional PSN fees.

Dont derail the thread further. or atleast come up with accurate info.

Somebody is spending 50k and we are just derailing it for personal agendas.

Here is the first link that came up.

Ok. Let me buy a 10 separate Steam accounts for 10 different games. Hassle aside, there's also the possibility the accounts could turn out to be dodgy, get banned or the games revoked. :rolleyes:

Funnily enough, if you buy/sell console discs regularly, the total expense comes out to around Rs. 1k per game.

And lol @ do you play PC games. It has been my sole gaming platform for the past twenty years. lol

Xbox games can be played on pc in windows 10 through wifi ac standard
But as of now u would need an xbox alongside a pc
Now in the previous post i daid i hoped everyxbox game comes to pc like fable is now gonna be avaloable on pc microsoft is trying to unify all its services thats why

As for dx 12 any new card will support dx12 get the gtx 960 and u r good well within ur budget

And to all those who still fight on console for 45k just dont bother its 62k for decent ps4 experience and u cant do anything other than play some games on it and playstation has shitty games compared to xbox thats why i skipped ps3
I mean i didnt like killzone and the first infamous game

Let's start by not calling the OP a liar and trying to make it seem like he has some agenda here. You've comprehensively expressed why you think the PC is the way to go. How he interprets your information is up to him. There is no right or wrong in this case. After reading several suggestions, if he feels the PS4 is right for him, then that's what he should be getting.

What do you play on PC exactly??

And yes basic math says that trading a game does not cost 1k

It costs your game+ 1k. But I see your point. You seem to be a PC gamer. NOT.

I was just correcting his misconception that he can get anew game for 500-1500. If you have cheaper games like that let me know.

Ofcourse it is his money and his decision. But if you are going the cheaper route PC is the ONLY option.

Few exclusives are not worth EXPENSIVE MULTIPLATFORM gaming. Multiplatform is the bread and butter of most of console gaming too.

Hahaha

This list is funny and free multiplayer is always better then a paywall. PC gaming is sustaining the biggest online communities both competitive and casual.

Final Fantasy is on the PC. Only few select installments are missing. Metal Gear definitive edition is coming to PC. Dead or Alive 5 s coming to PC.

Namco Bandai is preparing to launch Tales series on the PC. Tekken is most probably coming soon too.

Kat.ph for the win :)
