I've had the console for about 6 months, but honestly I play my weaker PC more. With the upcoming game costing $10 more than PC, it's an easy choice to just sell the console and purchase a new GPU.

Anyone else think it's odd that Battlefield 2042 is $10 more on new consoles?

I only roll with Playstation/s, but I didn't notice there was a price difference. Never rolled a game on a pc, but yea, it does seem a little 'off' that it's cheaper.

Well one things for sure, u could make ur money back selling it, and have a good amount to upgrade ur pc.

I tried to get into consoles again, but it's tough coming from PC. I just need to upgrade my GTX 1070 and my monitor and I should be good. The only issue I see is not being to find a good price on a GPU lol Prices crazy atm.

Thanks!

@Popa2capsWith AMD’s FSR soon to be released, I would highly recommend trying it out with your 1070, since 10 series NVIDIA GPUs are compatible. EA and the Frostbite engine are already listed as corporate adopters / partners with the technology, so it’s almost certainly going to be available for BF2042. I do, of course, wish you luck in getting a new GPU in the interim however!

As for the $10 price increase… I don’t really know.  Perhaps it’s to cover costs associated with Microsoft / Sony approval or certification for the game on the respective console?

My decision on wanting to get rid of the console comes from a variety of different aspects, one major one being you have to pay to play online. I really without any second guessing don't like that at all. Microsoft should have already made Xbox Live free, but for some reason hasn't yet. PC plays the same games, on the same servers at no charge.

I like the console, but I dislike the games with their limitations set up by the developers.

For example if a console game doesn't have an update for the new console, that new console owner is out of luck until that games developer decides it's time to update it, meanwhile on PC, you just move a graphical slider till you're happy.

I don't know, consoles to me feel dated for some reason. Not the hardware, but the idea behind them, it's almost like paying for cable in 2021, just odd. I'm currently signed up for Xbox Live Game Pass Ultimate (12 months), but mostly stick to Apex Legends on my PC.

What do you mean by.

As for the games being $10 more, its likely due to them using special features of the consoles. PS5 version will likely use the Dualsense controller in some way. Also, you get previous generation versions free with Gold or Ultimate.

Yeah that FSR looks good, I'm not the type of person who would enable that type of feature at all to be honest. I'm a diehard competitive gamer. A killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough (that's a Fifth Element quote lol).

I honestly go for frames per second over pretty anyday. Even though my GTX 1070 can handle nice textures in Apex Legends, I mostly keep everything off and/ or disabled.

I don't mind when games look like a potato, I can't stand when they run like one.

Yeah, but the added artifacts would drive me crazy. I did watch the video from Digital Foundry, but it seems it's not the best for low latency gaming. I mostly always disable adaptive resolution type things for gaming, and add too much input latency.

Don't think I'm knocking your advice, I'm grateful you took your time to suggest it, just something I wouldn't honestly ever use for a first person shooter.

I'm sure a GTX 1070 8GB can play the upcoming Battlefield 2042 with little to no issues at native 2560 x 1440 above 90 FPS with some settings disabled till I find a GPU that I like, I'm in no rush.
