Does console graphics look better than PC minus the frame rate performance?

Take for example, games like God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Uncharted 4.
They are all on consoles only and in terms of just design and graphics, look better than anything on PC(mods not included). 

Imagine those games running at native 4K/60fps.
You'd need some of the beefiest gaming rigs to achieve this.

The way I see it is, console developers sacrifice stable and frame rates above 30 for pretty graphics.

In short; no.

It really depends on the hardware. Older PC hardware isn't as good as modern console hardware is, but generally speaking PC hardware is almost always a step (or a few steps...) ahead of consoles.

RDR2 looks good, but the original Xbox One can only run it at 864p and 30fps. The Xbox One X can run it at a 4K native resolution, but still only at 30fps. Other games on that console also tend to be locked to 30fps at that resolution as well.

Meanwhile, on the PC (and admittedly on different engines and games) you can run games at higher framerates at that same resolution and the same (or better) graphics settings. Take Forza Horizon 4 for example; you can run it at 4K 30fps on the Xbox One X, but just about any PC graphics card made in the last 4 years can do that or far greater: https://www.techspot.com/review/1716-forza-horizon-4-gpu-benchmarks/

However, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4 still look miles better than Forza Horizon 4. The only thing that game and near all PC games have over them is higher frame rates that are stable and better resolution.

If its a PC exclusive game, 9 out of 10 times it looks like Pillars of Eternity.

Frankly, if you had the smallest self-control and researched the difference between console hardware and PC hardware, you would immediately recognize that it wouldn't make sense for a console to have better graphics than a PC...

The main difference being how the game was developed. For example, any game that was created for console pre-PS2 era took a hell of a long time to emulate on PC. Now that the folks behind those emulators caught up with the code, they made PS2-era games (and prior) look a hundred times better by upping the texture resolution and sugar, spice and everything else, IF YOU PLAYED THEM ON PC.

So, no. Console games were developed on PC first, and fast-tracked to work on specific hardware. If you had the choice to mod your PS4 or XB1X, you would stick a RTX 2080 in there and your console would cost 1400$, but if the games were built for a free market and developed so that it worked on any hardware, you would be playing Black Ops 4 at a much better resolution/framerate if the console let you put a better GPU in it.

Did that make sense to you?

Modding doesn't count because that's basically a game that already took years to develop then being further modded(developed) for months to years.
Hell there are still new Skyrim graphics mods coming out.

Sorry, it's almost like you aren't expecting RDR2 to have a PC port that allows PC gamers to play it at 1440p/60fps easily, and in the near future, 4k/60fps relatively easily.

Can you make this topic when Rockstar announces RDR2 on PC? We can't wait.

*EDIT: I never fucking mentioned modding buddy. I was talking about Emulators natively upscaling games better than a PS2 could.*

I've maxed out a lot of multiplatform games on my pc at 4K and though they look excellent and run better than anything on console, I cannot say I've seen graphics like God of War or Red Dead Redemption on pc.

Name games that are that graphically superior on PC right now.

But nothing exclusive to the PC pushes graphics like those games.

How better to prove you wrong, than to take a Console game and port it to PC and absolutely destroy the console's graphics?

You think because RDR2 came out on console first, it won't immediately put sliders on every single graphic setting and allow PC users to push the game to something that makes consoles look like muddy trash?

Get a grip, man. This is some baby level trolling.

Since I've gotten my gaming PC, when it comes to seeing nice graphics, I have to play multiplatform games, meaning, these games are also on consoles.

When it comes to PC exclusives, I cannot find any that are pushing graphics like those other games.

Why is that?

That's not proving your point in the least, do you get that? The second that those games are ported to PC, you'll want to delete this entire thread.

Why is that? Because developers develop for the mainstream market, to make a shit-ton of money. It has nothing to do with the platform. FF15 developers directly told interviewers that they regretted developing for PS4, because it inherently kept them from making a good looking game.

Look at FF15 on PC, and you'll see something that your console will not achieve in years.
Maybe not even the next gen console.

Then they'll be console games finally brought to PC.

However, right now, they're exclusives and they may not run at stable frame rates or above 30, but they are pushing graphics in a way PC exclusives simply aren't.

Back to The Witcher 3 : it released simultaneously on console and PC.

Years
Later....

Hey consoles, get with it?

*EDIT: The Witcher 3 even had to downgrade their goddamn graphics so that the game could reliably run on consoles. So PC gamers had to fuck off and eat the downgrade so that your console 'port' could function.

Did that just kick your teeth in?*

I just played and beat Sword of Legends 3, I find the game to have next-gen graphics and some of the best texture work I've seen to-date. And yes it's a PC exclusive. 


This kind of texture work wouldn't be possible on consoles, on high it uses 4GB of VRAM even at 720P.

aren't exclusives like black desert online already killing console graphics without the limitations of small open areas/linear hallways/sub-30fps/fake 4k etc.?



of course, console versions have been in the works but for now it's exclusive and most likely won't look as good even on the xbone x.

it's also pretty idiotic and very peasant-like mentality to "only" want exclusives that look better since PC is not the platform notorious for holding games hostage.

also, "when" it releases:


(console version rumored but not confirmed but there's no chance it will look or run as good as the gameplay video above)

Can you guys recommend ones that look like those but aren't online.

Play both PS4 and PC. Also have those exclusives you mentioned, but PC will always be better especially if you have at least an RX 580/1060 for the PC.
Diablo Immortal!
Ye you just don't see polished games like RDR2 unless it's for console. It'll be interesting once it comes to PC and Digitalfoundry recommends the required PC to target Xbox One X settings.

Most PC versions are barely more than Xbox One ports with the option to use brute force for Gameworks and higher resolutions. And most PC exclusives have bad multithreading and uses old APIs and might even target old Intel IGPs.

I think the main problem is that you assumed that game devs can only develop games for a singular platform, and that since the God of War devs made the game exclusive to PS4, they couldn't have pushed for higher graphics.

It's the opposite.

They pushed the graphics as far as they could to make it compatible with PS4 hardware. They could've easily ignored the PS4 requisites and made the same game run on PC, but allow people to set custom settings that their hardware can handle.

You seem to think that a PC gamer couldn't run GoW on their PC with the original build that the GoW devs made. That's absolutely moronic. If the GoW devs made sure that Nvidia and AMD fitted their drivers to match their code in the CONSUMER BUILD, GoW would run just as well, if not better, than consoles do.

But since it's a PS4 exclusive, they weren't allowed to do that. If they were given a chance, they would use the dev build that they used with the Nvidia/AMD drivers that they used to DEVELOP the game, and optimize THAT instead of the PS4 shitty hardware, to create the same game, with 1000 graphical options to allow people to run GoW in 4k. It wouldn't be very hard.

That's why they're called "EXCLUSIVES"... because they limit the devs and keep them from optimizing for multi-platforming.

That's quite a high-end PC and still only at 1440p. The obvious pop-ins happening each time he's sprinting sadly makes it seem like a console port.

Game Developers fold to Game Publishers and seriously hamper their own art to fit the Console market, even limiting their own assets and engines, so that industry Fat Cats can pay people to create showreels like Fallout 76 did, and try to sell as many units as they can for a (((product))) that is seriously under-representing the kind of complete video game experience that 2018 gamers made clear they want to experience.

So yes, in the end, you are completely correct saying that many PC games are a victim of the Console market.

That doesn't mean that there aren't developers who think ahead and make the console games a PORT in the end, costing them less money in the long term, and creating a better product in the end.

    There's some cases where PC port is awful and buggy (arkham knight for example). On the whole though a modern PC will run everything better.

    Consoles are quite good at doing trickery to make it feel smoother though and games are better optimised in general.

    The reality is that a PC is like twice as powerful but sometimes games only run 50% better.

    Short answer is, no.

    Long answer? There are good looking games on all platforms, regardless of if they're exclusive or multiplatform. In general, when talking console games, devs use a lot of techniques to try to keep the console versions running well enough while attempting to get as good of a fidelity as possible from the limited hardware. With PC games, they don't have these restraints and let users tweek things how they see fit. Even with exclusives, yes, they'll push things like the textures and lighting but it becomes very apparent while playing them where they had to make concessions. 

    In example, Horizon Zero Dawn has fantastic textures and lighting but much of the foliage in the game doesn't react to the players movement at all, the water is even less interactive then the foliage, and the game seems to lack falling physics. This is a running theme with a lot of Sony's games. Focus on making the game very pretty but cut back in other areas that would use up resources. Personally, when talking console exclusives, I prefer the approach that Nintendo generally takes. In Breath of the Wild, they went with a much more simplified look with a pretty art style to focus on the small details that take up more performance. Here's some examples:





    As for PC, the great thing about it is, while most of the PC exclusives aren't these type of epic single player story driven games, when those type of games are ported over to PC, they usually (not always says Batman Arkham Knight) have a lot more graphical options that add in even better textures, better lighting, better effects, more physics, etc. Sure, it won't ever be like going from Horizon Zero Dawn levels of physics to Breath of the Wild levels of interactivity, but in cases like Final Fantasy XV, there were some improvements across the board.





    Then again, while I love my PC and prefer playing games on it, I also like my consoles and think games on them also look good. Even if games are multiplatform and look significantly better on my significantly more powerful rig, considering I got my PS4 Slim for $200 and my XB1 S for $150, their visuals and performance in games isn't bad at all. I can see why people would prefer investing in them when you have games that look as good as God of War 4, Forza Horizon 4, and Red Dead Redemption 2 on them along with the ease of use of consoles. Just know that those games aren't the end all be all of game visuals and there are some very good looking PC exclusives (particularly in the MMO department) out there.

    How better to prove you wrong, than to take a Console game and port it to PC and absolutely destroy the console's graphics?

    You think because RDR2 came out on console first, it won't immediately put sliders on every single graphic setting and allow PC users to push the game to something that makes consoles look like muddy trash?

    Get a grip, man.


    All you'll be doing is playing a console game......but if it were a PC exclusive, expect Diablo graphics...

    If its a PC exclusive game, 9 out of 10 times it looks like Pillars of Eternity.

    Tell me: if you created games, would you ever make one exclusive to PC? if you have a working brain, the answer is NO.

    There's NO reason to limit a game you made with your heart to only PC players. 

    The difference is that Sony, M$ and Nintendo pay for exclusivity, because consoles NEEDS exclusives. PC is different, mostly for the fact that PC gaming isn't owned by one company, so there's no reason to make a game exclusive.

    With that in mind, remember that what dictate how the game will look is mostly the limitations of the machine where the most sales will happen. In this gen, the PS4. Since consoles are inferior to PCs in every way, companies have no reason to make the game look amazing for PC, since they would have to downgrade it to much for consoles.

    Remember how The Witcher 3 was downgraded near release, due to the fact that consoles would end up with a highly inferior version if they didn't downgrade it? That's the problem: CDPR admited consoles are important for them, and that if it wasn't for consoles, Witcher 3 wouldn't exist. But because of that we, PC gamers, got a downgraded version. The PC version is still the best looking one, but could be even better if it wasn't for the downgrade. 

    I remember people saying the same thing you are when GTA 5 was released. And yet, the PC version looks SO better than th console versions, it's not even funny.

    Games like Uncharted 4 would look even better than they look if they were made for PCs. But sony would have to be pretty stupid to make it like that, right?

    was of the opinion that pc exclusives do not push graphics the way console exclusives tend to do.

    OBVIOUSLY.

    If you spend millions of dollars to create a game, why would you make it PC exclusive?

    PC gaming is not about exclusivity, it's about the best experience you can get. It's not for everyone (and doens't sound like it's for you), but it's a FACT that games look and run better on PC, except for a few dodgy ports here and there.

    But no, don't expect high budget AAA games exclusives to PC. This would be stupid.

    The data-streaming system couldn't handle everything while Geralt galloped around.

    They would have had to create a new streaming system to make the trailer graphics work. I doubt they had the whole world textured to the level of detail seen in the trailer anyways. How many more copies would they sell with graphics that only future hardware could handle?

    You could make the same argument for resolution. UI can break at different resolutions if the game isn't properly made to handle it.
    Hell, I broke CSGO's UI just by having a custom resolution that was too wide. Apparently, some other people must have as well, because now the game doesn't allow those resolutions to be selected.

    I don't think realtime reflections would have required much testing, given how old an effect it is, and higher precision shaders certainly wouldn't.

    Consoles are just proprietary locked-down PCs with cheap hardware. They can get more performance out of the hardware because it only has to run a few background tasks and the architecture is specifically built with games in mind, but no console will ever beat a PC 1 vs 1 if the same games are running on each platform.

    That said, some of the exclusive games for PS4 do look incredible. They'd look even better if there was a PC version though.

    Lol, this level of hyperbole proves that you have no idea what you're talking about. Console have never been "6 or 8 years" behind in graphics - the PS4/XB1 when they launched in 2012/2013 had APUs about equivalent to a mid-range GPU of that year, the PS3/360 were high-end in 2005/2006 but Sony/MS hemorrhaged money throughout most of the generation because of that, The PS2/Gamecube were about GeForce/GeForce 2 level feature/performance wise (which was current in 2000/2001), with the X-Box basically aping a high-end GeForce 3-based PC. 

    It's true that as static hardware, 5/6 years on they're not looking so hot next to the latest and greatest PC hardware, but of course the vast majority of the PC gaming market AREN'T using the "latest and greatest" anyway. There are FAR more systems out there that are closer to the base PS4/XB1 spec than the 2080ti.

    6-8 years behind is rather silly, though. 8 years before 360 launched, Quake 2 wasn't even out. 6 years before PS3 came out, Quake 3 was still fresh. In 2005~2006, there was nothing out that could compete with PS4 or Xbone. Even in 2009~2010, it took expensive, high end GPUs to come close.
    By the time PS4 or Xbone actually came out, they were mid-range/low end compared to current market hardware, and were especially overpriced for what they offered, but that's a whole other matter.

    To me, I don't really see much of a difference, especially in motion. Shadows are a little sharper. Textures are a little sharper. But when you're playing and you're immersed in the game, you don't really notice.

    The framerates are a HUGE boost to the overall experience though. It's really really hard for me to play 30fps these days. I haven't played higher than 60. I can only imagine how hard it is for people that are used to those 144ish framerates to play console games.

    If they have added a feature, which only has the problem that the performance is crap, they might as well leave it in, possibly having it as an "experimental" option or the like in order not to get accused of the game being unoptimized.

    There's little reason to spend time optimizing or fixing bugs for features that no one can use on the current hardware though.

    I don't know about that - when I got my Factory OC 660 in 2012 it was around $300 for the card alone, and the PS4 APU is roughly equivalent, maybe 670 tier with dev optimization, and you're telling me you could build a machine with those specs for less than $400 in 2013? I think not. Granted, it's not exactly a fair comparison as the PS4 is using a custom, tablet-derived CPU etc. and Sony was getting a volume discount from AMD etc. but even using the cheapest AMD CPU, you'd be at $500+ for an equivalent PC, and due to driver/OS overhead etc. it would perform worse in most ports. But then it has never been smart to get a console-equivalent build.

      PS3 was meh at its release, but the Xbox 360 in 2005 was quite nice. The early 360 games were generally hurt by the engines' poor multicore support though, and the 512MB total RAM (minus OS footprint) can also be argued as being low to the PCs of the time.

      The worst advice from the PC crowd ever was the budget PS4 killer builds with a Pentium G3258 and GTX 750 Ti. 
      The Pentium can't even run modern games anymore, and while the 750 Ti still is "enough", the last Digitalfoundry comparisons to the original PS4 recommended a GTX 950.

      tbqh, PS360 were more midrange in 2005/2006. Especially PS3, by the end of 2006, was leaning towards low end for it's graphics card, and had to rely on it's unorthadox CPU architecture to make up for it.


      A 7800GT/Radeon X1800 were "midrange" in 2005/2006? Yeah, if you consider anything under the then-released and expensive 8800 "midrange", sure, for your average gamer those were higher-end cards.

      It wasn't a 7800 or x1800, though. They were halfway between that and the cut down variants of those cards, with the 360 Radeon variant having some architectural improvements lifted from their next generation.
      By the time the GTX8000 series filled out, you could get faster cards on the mid-low end.

      Do you have a $400 build from 2013? Performance on todays games with that build? I wont require that its prebuilt even though that would make it an apple to apple comaprison.

      It's realtime reflections, not rocket science. One of the most straightforward bruteforce rendering effects there is. Take everything, draw it upside down, map it to a surface. Apply refraction where necessary.
      I frequently recommended people towards a 7850/FX8350 build. It typically performs about as well in PS4 software as the console proper does, with some exceptions leaning either way. 
      Another popular build was i3+750Ti, which hasn't aged as well for console ports, but runs older PC-centric software much better.

      But you could get a 7850 build for cheaper.
      Also, $300 for a GTX660 is overpriced. It was a $200 card, and often dropped to $150 and under. 7850 sometimes even hit $100.
      Also, 660 was generally closer in performance to 7870, which was out and out faster in every way than PS4. Not slightly, either. Qutie significantly. Nothing so far suggests that PS4's magical "optimization" actually changes that, just that shitty PC ports can sometimes be a bit shite.

      I guess realtime reflections just arent a priority at this point. Most games dont have functioning mirrors let alone gamewide reflections.

      Whether or not they're a 'priority' isn't really relevant at this point.
      Also, well overpaid for that CPU, motherboard, and graphics card. Seriously who the fuck spends $230 on a FX8350 what? Those things were under $200 or not at all. Also, FX6300 held up quite well too, and was often closer to $100.

      If realtime reflections are so easy why do most games not even have mirrors? Go into a bathroom in most games and the mirrors are broken. Not sure why you keep on about realtime reflections. Its almost as if you have a problem with me and I dont understand why because I'm a really likeable guy.

      That build is well over $400 even with a cpu downgrade. That price doesnt include Windows so thats another $80. Needs a dvd rom to install it so thats another $20.
      I am Crenrel and I approve this message.
      Because people get upset when they can't run more demanding settings. It was around the time people memed off the original Crysis for not running Very High at 60fps on a toaster strudel that realtime reflections started to fall out of use, and get replaced by downgraded screenspace alternatives.

      You don't need a DVD drive for anything, and Windows doesn't cost $80. Most people already have windows anyway, but you can get it on reddit for $20 easy enough, and Linux stillhas a larger library than PS4 ever will.
      Like I said, they were $350~400 before tax back when PS4 launched. Like, the few months around that launch window, before and after. That was a long time ago, but that's the price that came up on PCPartPicker, and some people even bought and used these machines.

      The one thing about comparing PC to console that usually doesn't get mentioned are frametimes.....for whatever reason 30 fps appears smoother on console bc of consistent frame timing and on PC I've found 30fps to always look juttery.

      Not really a thing anymore, tbqh. external framerate capping software, or half refresh vsync are perfectly adequate and often better than what you see on consoles.

      On consoles, you can't do anything about it. On PC, you can.

      Every game I've played that has working mirrors has them on by default and they cant be turned off. Doom 3 and GTA games for example. 

      We cant just assume they have windows. Buy a downloadable version on Reddit? Install with a thumb drive? Thats another $20.

      Heres a $400 build and it doesnt include windows or any type of drive to install Windows. The cpu doesnt match the PS 4's. https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/171158-can-you-build-a-gaming-pc-better-than-the-ps4-for-400

      I can't think of a game where realtime reflections isn't a togglable option. Half Life 2, for example, has 3 different settings. Off, world(static meshes and terrain only), and all(actors included as well).
      Assuming they have no thumb drive? Those are cheap enough that it doesn't really matter. And when you consider how low-end the CPU is, that it's all soldered together, volume discounts, ect, it's easy to see that the PS4 was overpriced, and Xbone even more so.
      I can't think of any other time when an equivalent gaming tower was even close to the cost of a comparable performance console, much less cheaper.
      Also, my build was using a higher quality PSU and case than the ones linked. I remember that part pretty clearly, since it was the very popular at the time CX430.

      Yeah, my performance in console ports on said card would beg to differ - playing the Doom demo in particular at lower settings was uneven at best, and the PS4/XB1 versions looked/ran better.

      And probably would have on a 7850 or 7870, as those games scale better to AMD.
      On average, when 660 was new, though, it was much closer to 7870 across a variety of existing software than it was to a 7850, and was priced appropriately.

      You say they took it out yet you dont know if it was ever in the rendering system they ended up using. 

      Hey a thumb drive is $20 and needs to be factored into the price. Another thing you really need to consider is the time investment. Picking up a PS 4 while grocery shopping vs figuring out what parts to get and putting the thing together. 

      Sony reportedly lost $60 on each PS 4 while the Xbox One was sold at just about cost. So they werent overpriced. A prebuilt in 2013 with matching specs would have been around $700.

      Again, it's realtime reflections, not rocket science. It's not actually a difficult thing. You render the world upside down, and then map it to a surface.

      A thumb drive is up to $20. You can definitely get them cheaper. It's not a significant cost.

      Just because Sony did a bad job designing the hardware does not mean it wasn't overpriced. Remember, consoles are locked-down, proprietary boxes that can only do what the console provider says you can, and every piece of software you buy for it had to pay a handout to said console provider just to legally ship a product. They are a subsidized product, and PS4/Xbone were both overpriced.

      We still dont know ether they took it out or not. I dont recall some big outcry over not having the option. Did Witcher 2 have it?

      Sony did a bad job? How did you determine that? If prebuilt pc's with matching specs in 2013 were even remotely close to the PS 4's price then you might have a point. 

      And because theyre locked down you see substantially less cheaters on console.

      tbqh, idk I don't play the witcher games. They had it and a bunch of other features working in prototype builds, though, and removed those from the final game despite being very straightforward. The why is obvious; people whine when they can't run a game on max settings. It's a negative mentality, and doesn't fit with the PC platform.

      If you can build a tower faster than a console, even just the hardware, for less than a console, the console is overpriced. If they aren't making a profit in spite of that, they did a shitty job designing it. Period. Also, there's all the other oddities, like using USB for the HDD but SATA for the disc drive, or how there's a hardware off by 2 error corrected in the APIs used, or how the security doesn't actually work at all because lolsony. But, that's not really relevant, since failing to break even on the hardware, when you could literally buy off the shelf parts to do that better, means they fucked up already.

      How many cheaters there are isn't really relevant.

      They didnt remove it they changed rendering systems.

      Until you can find a similarly specced prebuilt from 2103 thats cheaper then you have nothing to go on. I've yet to see a list of off the shelf parts that match the PS 4 for a better price. How overpriced is the PS 4? $50, $100. 

      If you want to bring up the fact that consoles are locked down then citing a positive outcome of that is totally relevant.

      That consoles are locked down is factored into the value of the product. Whether you like it or not is not.

      For sure not, console graphics are medium to high at most, depending on how everything is tuned. farclips and lods are the most evident improvements in PC for any game ported. Texture sizes were also easy to see different, but today are more or less the same. On the other hand, just for seeing it more clearly, with RTX obviously consoles are behind until the next gen. There is always some tech that you could improve in your PC the day it comes out that you will need to wait for consoles. And you may spend $2000+ to play in real 4k, that is something consoles are not going to do, probably even they still won't next gen if they want to stay in a competitive hardware cost. You can always spend stupid amounts of money to put graphics even higher or mod them. 

      But overall for no more than $700, I would say $600, at any time you may set up a rig that is up to date for a couple of years, or exactly pairs with a recent console release. That rig may be updated every couple of years with $300 at most, and will be up to date again, even a little better, even more if you like to be informed about the industry and you search for the finest hardware at the right time.

      I spent 15 years ago $1000 in my rig, and saved ever since then just $100/year for every software and hardware improvements and eventualities, like my gtx 9800 burned out the 2nd year, or my hdd broken the 9th, and almost 4 years ago I upgraded to ddr4 with all the mess that is, and i never was under console quality.

      YEs.. console graphics are better even though if the perfect emulator for the ps4 was released the same games would look technically better on a pc..... Your 100% right though tc... Why the fuck do these topics get so many posts?

      So you think the PS 4 was overpriced? Now back that up with some cold hard facts.

      PC will always be better than console in terms of graphics/performance. 

      There are no ifs, ands, or butts about it. 

      To think otherwise, means you are ignorant or a troll. 

      On a side note, it's not a fair comparison to compare games that the PC doesn't have since there is nothing to compare. 

      If you take the same game (i.e. God of War) and you make it available for both PC and console, then PC will always come out on top.

      My point is, God of War and other console exclusives are not on the pc. Those multplatform games look and run better on pc any day. However, were games like God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn(console exclusives) out on PC, they'd be the best graphics to date since PC has way more power than consoles.

      My point is console exclusives are pushing way more moder graphics and techniques but cannot run them at higher resolutions and frame rates. 

      Name one pc exclusive that would look better than God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn if they were on pc and you could further mod their graphics?

      Think about it like 2 women putting on makeup. 

      First woman(PC exclusive/multplatform), without makeup looks average however when she puts on makeup(graphical bells and whistles that pc offers), she looks like a 10/10. 

      Second woman(PS4 exclusive) is an 8/10 without makeup but with the limitations of console bells and whistles becomes a 9/10. 
      If she had the makeup kit of the pc, she'd be a 15/10.

      For the price you can get a PS4 or Xbone at, for sure they have better graphics. You cant build a PC for $400 that would look this good.
      I have the standard PS4 they released first, and I have to admit, a lot of their games do look nice. When you consider the amount of money you pay. Especially considering now, with base edition consoles running for as low as $200. (I bought mine a year ago, and I havent paid any attention to prices) 

      But, Red Dead Redemption first person mode reminds me of Fallout New Vegas maxed out graphics settings. Lmfao. One of the revolvers looks like the .357 Magnum you find on Fallout New Vegas, with a bit more polish.

      A lot of really beautiful console games have all these detailed beautiful environments, but then you notice parts of the game where they had to sacrifice the detail for optimization. Then you never stop noticing it.

      In short; no.

      It really depends on the hardware. Older PC hardware isn't as good as modern console hardware is, but generally speaking PC hardware is almost always a step (or a few steps...) ahead of consoles.

      RDR2 looks good, but the original Xbox One can only run it at 864p and 30fps. The Xbox One X can run it at a 4K native resolution, but still only at 30fps. Other games on that console also tend to be locked to 30fps at that resolution as well.

      Meanwhile, on the PC (and admittedly on different engines and games) you can run games at higher framerates at that same resolution and the same (or better) graphics settings. Take Forza Horizon 4 for example; you can run it at 4K 30fps on the Xbox One X, but just about any PC graphics card made in the last 4 years can do that or far greater: https://www.techspot.com/review/1716-forza-horizon-4-gpu-benchmarks/


      However, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4 still look miles better than Forza Horizon 4. The only thing that game and near all PC games have over them is higher frame rates that are stable and better resolution.

      If its a PC exclusive game, 9 out of 10 times it looks like Pillars of Eternity.

      Consoles have been overpriced ever since mid-gen ps360. PS2 or GameCube would be $100, bundled with games this far in.

      Even more underpriced than todays consoles.

      All you have to do to prove theyre overpriced is to find a prebuilt pc with matching power at a lower price.

      Depends on your computer if your trying to run a modern game with 8 year old computer equipment then if course the console will look better if your comparing it to the top of the line console vs a top of the line PC then PC wins easily

      2. PC 
      3. Does console graphics look better than PC minus the frame rate performance?
