Looks like my 3070 is finally coming up against the wall. Only other game that made it chug was Oblivion Remastered. Maybe I should have gotten a 9070XT when they were $530… ah well.
It’s literally still above the requirements for high graphics at over 60 FPS. I assume this is not even considering DLSS or frame gen, which would double performance.
Consoles are the base experience. On Series X, Horizon 5, which is 5 years old, runs at the equivalent of medium graphics settings at best, with resolution scaling. Performance mode for a constant 60 makes even more compromises. Horizon 6 will likely be worse.
3070 is crushing that, you’re good. For a while in fact. And that’s just assuming you’re playing only brand new games.
Don’t consoles include dynamic render resolutions?
And they are also more optimized to run on that hardware vs the general compute targets you can program your API calls to.
So just saying the RTX-something is equal in every scenario is a bit of a stretch.
Yes they are more optimized, that’s how they are able to keep up as well as they do. A 3070 completely blows away the current console gen specs wise. Due to optimizations, it is a lot closer than it looks on paper but 3070 is still ahead by a sizeable margin.
I’m not here to shit on consoles. I said they are the base experience. The “good enough” experience. If OP’s card is outdoing that by a significant amount still, he doesn’t need to upgrade. If he’s getting the same performance of consoles, that’s still good enough. If he’s starting to dip below consoles, maybe consider buying a new GPU or CPU, or maybe just get to more of your backlog for a while. Realistically he’s got around 4 more years, maybe more the way pricing for electronics will affect how fast requirements go up.

Don’t quite believe a 3070 outperforms a PS5 (is the peo a thing?) or the series X.
But I also havent looked into it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For anything else: True dat ;)
