Alright, claims are being made, and several times "LOL 6 core CPUs" and "LOL 1070s" have come up.
Well, I happen to have such a configuration:
i5-9600k (a 6-core, 6-thread CPU)
GTX 1070 Ti (a "LOL" GPU)
Let me preface this by quickly highlighting another benefit of PC gaming. I upgraded to the above configuration from an i5-3570k/GTX 760 (2GB) config. That earlier config, which is still around and still works great by the way, handled all gen 7 (PSWii60) and prior games that I played *like a charm* at 1080p/60fps. No joke.
In any case, when I upgraded, I was blown away by one of the absolute top level powers that PC currently has: out-of-the-box backwards compatibility. My *entire* libraries on Steam and uPlay just worked with NO work on my part. No having to go to gaming forums to find out if the platform holder is making the game backwards compatible; no hoping that any one game didn't fall within the "1%" of games that were not backwards compatible; no having to guess which games were enhanced to 60fps; no having to just give up and hope for a remaster. No, my upgrade in itself gave a "remaster" of sorts to all of my games, across the board.
So, back to the configuration change. With the CPU/GPU upgrade, I also bought a 1440p G-Sync monitor. And, while I admittedly don't always chase the "latest AAA games" (quite simply because from a gameplay perspective, they're not my cup of tea), my "LOL" configuration has been able to run EVERYTHING I've thrown at it at a native 1440p and ALWAYS above 60 fps. Just yesterday I was messing around with RE3 Remake (having a "fun" playthrough with the unlocked infinite weapons from the in-game shop) and I was at 90fps or above.
Do I run at max settings? Fuck no, I don't need to. But so far they have always been at least high settings, and for most games it's something between High and Ultra.
Coming to the final point of PC: *I* have the choice of how I want to run my game. I'm not stuck to a single configuration. I'm also not stuck with having to pick between two pre-packaged configurations (what are they usually called? "Performance" for the 60fps one and "Fidelity" or something for the graphical one?) I don't have to run RE3 Remake at 90 fps with my "LOL" configuration. I can turn on some bells and whistles and cap it at 60fps. Or, fuck it, I can try to max it out and go even lower on the fps, to 30.
Because it doesn't matter what domain of life we're talking about: whether it's as a video game player, or as a citizen of this country, or as a human being, I like.... CHOICE. Which the PC gives me unparalleled amounts of.
Cheers, all!
