Probably most likely will upgrade to 3080ti.
I just like having shiny new stuff plus owned every Xbox. I do use my x for Gears and Halo multiplayer. I also have a lot of friends split between Xbox and PS. I’m not a fan of PC multiplayer.
Gamepass pretty much makes up for the machine. I am signed up till 2022. I own a shit ton of digital games on the Xbox and PlayStation echo systems. So it’s hard for me to let go and fully move to steam or epic. I just move around, so once I finish Ghost on PS4, I’d probably go play a game on Xbox/Switch or PC. I don’t have a dedication to one system.
I think it’s good MS and Sony to a lesser extent are offering games on PC. More sales and bigger budgets go to the studios as a result for future games. One of my favourite series Yakuza got more people playing it due to coming out on PC. Games like that it’s brilliant as they niche games.
I get what you’re saying about being locked into eco system. Although it’s all Microsoft as we know it can still be a bit of a pain.
Game-pass is fairly excellent and the new cloud gaming from Microsoft is going to reinforce that.
Anyway, from all the rumours that have been floating around, I don’t think we’ll see a Ti card this year. Think it will be 80 top of the line and a refresh next year. In any case, 4K RTX ultra gaming should be available this fall and not just for enthusiasts.
I was going to get an Xbox series x and a PS5 but after some (fairly short) consideration, I decided that I’m just going to pump £300 quid towards a new cpu and £200 toward a new GPU. (It’s probably going to last me 5 years. — Edit* I cant see architecture changing much and games moving to multithreaded performances. Can’t see anything changing apart from incremental graphical fidelity, despite the jargon)
