This flagship RTX 4090 Gaming PC just had its price slashed by $700

If you're hunting for a new gaming PC, this incredible ABS Eurus Aqua with GeForce RTX 4090 has had its price slashed by $700.

anast62d ago

it's only 3.4k...But it will by PS5 games with similar quality.

Shiore2u62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Perhaps if you ran your eyes through a wire brush. With a 4090, 14900KS and 64GB of ram you're not getting 30fps average with lacking anisotropic filtering, little to no ray tracing, and default non-native resolution. Comparing a top of the line pre-built to budget is just asinine.

jznrpg62d ago

Cost vs what you get PS5 is a great buy. Obviously it won’t compare to a 3-4,000$ PC when you are only paying 399-499$ but it plays games fairly well, loads fast and offers physical games. There is pros and cons to both obviously

anast62d ago

I would justify my 4k machine that can only rent games too, because if I don't I would look like a sucker.

--Onilink--62d ago

@anast

You already do more than enough to look like a sucker, no need to worry about it

Seriously, talking about “only renting games” in the current platform where it is without a doubt the easiest to actually do game preservation when publishers screw everyone in all other places….

Aphrodia62d ago

This deal is awesome. I would pick this up immediately if I didn't already have a beast computer. It's 3 years old but still awesome. If yall are looking for an elite machine at a good price get this while you can.

GoodGuy0962d ago

It's able to cut that much because it's already crazy expensive lol.

JackBNimble62d ago

You could probably build the same pc for half the price... just saying

jznrpg62d ago

For 3400$ you can get a ps5 and a 40+ games at full price.

Aphrodia62d ago

This PC will be more powerful and can do more things than the Playstation 8. Heck my 3 year old pc will be at least as strong as the ps 8 if not much more. I don't think PS 6 or 7 will be native 4k. Maybe the 8 will be native 2K 60fps, 4K 30fps if you're lucky. But it will be very difficult to do that and be widely affordable.

So if you got this pc you're set for the next 20 years if you're comparing to playstation.

anast62d ago

The PC you will get crap ports, only rent games, and fiddle with everything for hours just to get the game to work properly. It's seems like a lot money for something that has to have everything just right to work.

Mr Logic62d ago

This is satire right? You can take a $10,000 computer from 10 years ago and it will be MAGNITUDES worse than building a mid-range ~$1000 rig today.

andy8562d ago

Bit of an exaggeration 😂 sure the PS8, probably won't hit 4K with high frame rates, graphical fidelity will be up massively (although we've from 1080 on the 4 to 4K on a lot of games, at 30 of course in several years so in 20 it should) It was playing today's games of course it would. Going off the past, a PS5 in 2020 is about as powerful as the best PC from 2014. PS8 will release in like 2040, so no a PC today won't be more powerful than it 20 years later, especially as tech increases are slowing.

Aphrodia62d ago

@ Mr Logic

Take note that in my comment and in this thread we are comparing PC to Playstation, not PC to PC like you just did. Playstations are never " state of the art". They provide the best experience they can at a the most affordable price. And we're talking pre builts, not building. Also, the pc in this article is only 3400 in 2024. I personally have never seen a $10K gaming pc circa 2014.

ChasterMies61d ago

But I don’t need a PC to do more things when I can already do those things on my iPad. Save money. Game on PS5.

And then the ps5 pro comes out and you run to buy regardless that there isn't a single game to justify the pro but you already own an ogps5.

Sony is deceiving suckers like jznrpg to upgrade their console for absolutely no real reason.
Btw , there are only a handful of current gen games on ps5 worth owning. It's delusional to compare a ps5 with 40 games when most of those games would be last gen , to a high end pc.

So be stuck in your little bubble but a console can't do anything near what a pc can do.

anast62d ago

PC has to rely on the console space for games. Why would anyone spend that much to play a handful of RTS and CRPGs?

Mr Logic62d ago

"there are only a handful of current gen games on ps5 worth owning"

And there are even less of them on PC

andy8562d ago

I don't consider myself a sucker for getting a new console. I just want to play my games 'better'. Are people suckers for spending thousands on a new PC to play the same games.

ChasterMies61d ago

For $3400 you can buy a PS5, fly to Japan, and visit Sony headquarters.

Good, this means more games coming to pc, can't wait for Ragnarok!

VenomUK9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

If you look at a game like Genshin Impact and it made over $5 Billion in revenue since launch for one game and it doesn’t risk the studio, so it gives an insight into why it’s so desired by Sony to go for that perpetual online game. I don’t think Sony should risk bringing its single player games to other consoles but bringing Hellblazer II to Xbox and Nintendo makes perfect sense.

Cacabunga9d ago

Cool but then where are the PS5 games Sony? So far only 3rd party studios are lifting the console

Knightofelemia9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

@VenomUK

Sony has brought other titles to PC that are single player. And they seem to be doing good all though I still think Sony should have brought the first three Uncharted games to PC as well. Sony is just breathing new life into games that have done well on Playstation such as Uncharted, Horizon, my favorite Days Gone, Spiderman, God of War. Sony will eventually port Ragnarok and Spiderman 2 to PC as well and I think those two games will do well on PC. I don't see PC players bitching about the games Sony has brought over to PC so far. And Helldivers 2 is doing well on PC except for Sony's F up with having a Playstation account. As for Sony putting Helldivers 2 on Xbox who knows if Sony will or won't port it. As for Nintendo you would need the Switch 2 the current Switch can barely handle Arkham Knight. You call it risky but again I don't see PC player bitching about the games that Sony has ported over so far to PC. If anything it introduced players to games they have never played if they just stick to PC and don't want to buy a Playstation that's their choice.

shadowknight2039d ago

Hellblazer 1 released along the time that God of Flock released, however it was considering very much an Andie budget game, with a top down perspective twin stick shooter that it was. Then he'll blazers 2 released, in all its 3D glory and crossplay madness.

Besides few core fanboys rest gamers understand the huge potential for PlayStation’s games on PC. Same applies for Xbox games on PlayStation. We as gamers may not like it or understand it but there are billions at stake. More money these companies generate the bigger budgets and resources they can allocate for future projects

Crows909d ago

Yes...it never ceases to amaze me that so many don't understand.

PlayStation games benefit as an added source of revenue. As long as it is released not at the same time as on the console....because if it is...then there's no reason to buy a ps5. This means a loss in their ecosystem and more money lost through each sale on steam.

JackBNimble9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

What you're talking about could push a certain company out of the console side and make them strictly soft gaming company.
I can't be the only one who reconsidered buy their hardware because their games were going to ps5.

Edit: it's one thing for games to go to pc , and a completely different thing for games to go from xbox to ps5. That will stop people from buying a second console.

neutralgamer19929d ago

Jack

MS don’t invest 100 billion to make few console warriors happy who would buy the Xbox branded console anyway. They want generate the revenue, which in return will generate more profits end of the day it’s all the spreadsheet and whether we like it or not just selling on Xbox is not going to help them on their spreadsheets

And I completely disagree with you. Why would someone not buy Xbox if their goal is game pass so they will get all those games one on that subscription while other consoles and platforms have to pay full price to pay the same games

Angyobangyo9d ago

The downvotes you’re getting shows how petty the Sony diehards are. Meanwhile Sony just made a good size change and will keep releasing on PC regardless.

Crows909d ago

Nope. Yeah they made good size change....so did Gabe...that's where most seem to be perfectly content in remaining oblivious to reality.

It's an acceptable strategy if Sony doesn't release day and date. If they start doing that...those diehards would probably end up skipping consoles and heading to PC. It's only common sense.

Number1TailzFan9d ago

Yes, gamers who can't afford a decent midrange PC or higher will opt for console anyways.

PC players have a choice of better IQ & (usually) performance.

babadivad9d ago

Day and date is coming soon. I know people don't want to hear that but I believe that's where we're heading.

I have seen the port-begging for these games on playstation, including Half-Life Alyx
🤣
https://i.ibb.co/FDyhF7F/20...

fr0sty9d ago

There is no need to port beg for that game anymore, now that they are making PS VR2 compatible with PC.

itsmebryan9d ago

"Port begging " really you guys are weird. Is that what was happening when Starfield came out? I never heard that term when people were "Port begging " for Starfield.

Sony had no first party releases till next year at the earliest. So, you won't have to worry about Port begging. I feel like I'm losing IQ points repeating that term. Smh

VersusDMC9d ago

Everyone port begs here...

Nintendo fans port begged for years to get persona 5. Xbox fans portbegged for Helldivers 2 and rebirth recently.

Even Phil Spencer got in on the Helldivers 2 exclusivity whining...

Extermin8or3_9d ago

Sony have concord due out later this year for starters ..

Domkakop9d ago

How many times do you need to be reminded of how average and undesirable Starfield is? No one is port begging that mediocre game

Michiel19899d ago

trying to shame people for wanting to play good games, what the fuck even is this?

SeTTriP9d ago

It's because p.c players are cringe.

Shiore2u9d ago

@SeTTriP
Psychological projection coupled with inferiority complex and brand worship is the ultimate cringe

ravens529d ago

That's it ?😏 /s.
But day and date is "needed"? I think not.

Amplitude9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

The revenue would be even higher if the games didn't launch 2 years later and could capitalize on the original launch's ads and hype.

Ghost of Tsushima came out for PC recently and I haven't heard a word about it. If it came out - say, 3 months after the PS5 version - it would sell like mad. In that sense, day and date is needed. Would be cheaper as well if PC versions were developed alongside the original games rather than outsourcing hit-or-miss port jobs later.

Crows909d ago

That's where you're entirely wrong. The revenue wouldn't be as big. It would be offset by all the players just sticking to PC instead of bothering with buying anything on console....

Then sure....more sales on PC but steam takes a huge chunk whereas by leaving them on the console for a few years it forces players to buy in songs ecosystem which also gets them the most money.

Amplitude8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Tell that to Sony after HellDivers and I think the personified company would roll it's eyes at you. Im confident you're overestimating the number of people who double dip, buying games on PS5 and re-buying them on PC. Obviously nobody knows - but one can assume that the number is extremely tiny.
I personally waited or am waiting for Horizon, God of War Ragnarok and Ghost of Tsushima to come to PC because i would rather play them there. At this point I'm waiting for a sale on Ghost - i've waited this long already and have lost interest with time.

Yet when Ratchet and Clank came out, i bought a PS5 for it and as such I have absolutely no interest in re-buying it for PC.

PC and console are very different markets. If somebody wants to play a game on their home theater system (like Ratchet), buy it on console. If somebody wants to play a big open world or multiplayer thing on their PC, buy it on PC.

The 30% Valve cut is the only actual reason to not release day-and-date, but a couple months would give all the benefits of the PS5 launch for people who REALLY want it day one, with patient people getting the game later but still in the "hype" cycle. (Or - god forbid - Sony launches their own PC storefront)

I really think we're going to see exactly that happening sooner than you think.

anast9d ago

They can drip feed that ecosystem and make bank.

Levii_929d ago

Greed is a helluva thing, definitely my favourite sin.

Eonjay8d ago

I don't see it as greed. It just makes sense as the devs get more for their work. And for single player games with high production cost a risk i think this help secure these games for the future.
