PlayStation Acquires Nixxes, a Game Porting Specialist

[Zivouhr]

I'm playing Ark, a PC game ported to PS4, and it's set up very much like a PC game. The dinosaurs look great, but the graphics look like PS3 resolution, pretty rough even on a PS5. I hope though that more PC games can be ported to PS5 sooner than later. That would be good to see and already it's been a lost opportunity during this drought of PS5 games.

Right now, the biggest problem with GPUs isn't even related to actually being used for gaming etc. but Cryotocurrency and mining for it. Under normal times, a 2000 series card would have been cheaper by now and reasonable to upgrade to from their launch prices and easily you could use Nvidia DLSS 2.0 and get 4K/60fps gaming.

Yes, the cost barrier is higher but i think these days, it's moreso the GPU and CPU sides that see upgrades more often than not. With NVMe drives, you can get a 2TB and use that for your main applications which require speed and get a massive HDD for storage. RAM etc. are all a bit stagnant atm in terms of speeds etc. to buy.

However, it's a commitment not everybody is willing to make and i completely understand the buying a console option.

Thanks NARMAK for the details. That stinks about the higher costs during this time than normal. That's true, the timing of buying the upgrades is important.
Computers can be great, so I can imagine a gaming computer that can also be used for the creative arts would be really nice to have, easily being able to handle large image files without any slow down while saving, editing or opening files.
