This.

Yeah they are because that 1060 on paper can be put in a far more capable machine.

they should break this down by country

expensive card owners are probably all in eu and na, pc gaming is huge here in eu

a game designed exclusively for PC is going to be vastly different than a console game, it's not just about raw power, retard

i still remember a few years back the 970 had the highest % at 3% while everyone else was running ps3 tier (or worse) hardware.

ah yes crafting survival mmo #345345 and social interaction simulator, the power of pc gaming

>this is the best pc gaming has to offer
admit it pcbros, you lost

Ah yes, the OG cinematic garbage

>FEAR
>cinematic garbage
either you have never played the game or you have a head filled with baked beans

microsoft needs to reduce the bloat in windows, its getting ridiculous

Those GPUs give you access to a massive library of worthwhile games which make consoles look like blockbusters in 2022

even the "groundbreaking AI" boomers like to boast about is just scripted garbage
cope

why would i upgrade my graphics card if my current card can run everything i'm interested in actually playing?

>GTX 1070
I'm not upgrading either because there's no reason to.

Yes, consoles hold gaming back

>cherrypicking one badly ported game

1060 are still twice stronger than a PS4.
So 1080p30fps PS4 games will run at 60fps instead on a 1060
That's still perfectly fine.

>1070
I'm not upgrading I only emulate snes and psp games.

The thing is though, you can either run it or you can't. My 7970 has been able to run everything I throw at it. Run well, is a different story but the point is it's time for YOU to move on and upgrade.
Consoles are a different story as everybody has the same hardware so they have to cater to that set of hardware. That means they still have to tie games to last gen Consoles which are worse than my 11 year old PC (2600k, 7970), as the consoles equate to roughly an i5 960 + 7850 GPU.
That being said as well, a GTX 1060 will run all current games fine at 1080p and was a good entry level / price card for the average person so why do they need to upgrade if their games run fine?
So no, PC gamers are not holding back the industry.

why did you include crysis in that lol it's still an unoptimized mess even if you throw an RTX 3090 and 5950X at it

Among the poor

>hl2 is still more impressive than any modern console game.

The remaster is a lot more optimized.
Especially since the patch a few days ago.

>even the "groundbreaking AI" boomers like to boast about is just scripted garbage
>cope
damn this is peak zoomer, AI is not supposed to have any script

>Games can be made perfectly for consoles!
>It's all downgraded trash that you dont even have the choice to optimize yourself because graphical settings is still an alien concept to consolers
Consoles themselves only hit 60 a year ago with the PS5/SeX and even that came at the cost of graphical quality
Even your dedicated gaming machines cant actually play games without making compromises here and there. How do you justify this?

lost what?

so this the power of the master race? whoa

Those people are quite literally irrelevant because they're on laptops to play fortnite, the latest indie pixelshit or some shitty jrpg. They're never going to buy your latest AAA supreme blockbuster thriller tragedy with memetracy and Dante from Devil may cry, so they have no impact on this
