9 short hours for RTX 30 Seriers Official release

Though I think on PC there is the inherent value of more ‘ownership’ over the hardware and just more options to play. But I am speaking as a person more used to playing games on a computer rather than a game console. I think the GPU in the xbone X is comparable to a gtx 1070, and I’d pick a PC rig over a xbone X every time. For some reason on game consoles devs just don’t provide graphical settings and sliders like they do on PC versions, so if a dev decides that 4K30fps with v-sync is the way to go, and I want to play a game in some other setting, I’m kinda screwed. And this is also ignoring the additional tweaking I can do in nvidia control panel (and if I want some further tweaking, nvidia inspector is always an option). And about ownership over the hardware, I bought a ps4 pro for myself while also owning a PC rig at the time. I bought it for the exclusives and played everything else on my PC, and it was an extremely frustrating experience using a PS4 pro, as I don’t often boot it up since maybe there are like at most 2 or 3 Sony games each year that I really wanna play. So pretty much every time I turn on the machine, it will give me some sorta system update. Once, the ps4 pro just decides that I can’t play my games until I get my OS update, and the OS update failed, which I had to use a ds4 game pad to troubleshoot a ps4. I’m comfortable tweaking voltages and clock speeds in the bios with a keyboard and mouse, but trouble shooting with a game pad was quite annoying. After getting the OS update through, it took the machine about half an hour to download and install the update (I think Sony limited download speed on the ps4 due to bandwidth issues with sata2, I’m sure this will be fixed with the new nvme drives) and I could finally get into god of war. However, after 2 hours of troubleshooting, I didn’t want to play the game anymore. I’m not saying windows 10 isn’t equally invasive, but at least on windows I can tweak the OS to just tell Microsoft to shut up. But yeah, as a person who mainly games on PC and bought a ps4 pro for the exclusives, it was an extremely frustrating experience (I was expecting less problems than I had gaming on PC), and I sold it after owning it for less than a year.
