So I'm thinking that it's time. But the firm in the road here is 4k v VR.
The easy answer is just don't consider it a fork and just jump into the new PC era. I mean that's the situation for console players who want a real VR experience where MS has nothing planned with Facebook/Oculus and Sony's vanilla PS4 PSVR isn't totally worthwhile regarding availability of games.
Like I'm genuinely annoyed with Studio Wildcard for their push for free competitive online and lack of a version for PlayStation.
I'm here thinking, after spending months with the game offline on Xbox One, and how somewhat transformative the game had been.. It'll be a fine time to buy PS4 because I'll have Ark, Destiny, and No Man's Sky.
I'm not regretting PS4 in any way but no Ark Survival and too much Destiny is getting aggravating because I have to consider PC seriously and sooner than later.
So by my next scheduled time off... Assuming I'm not fired or anything like that... Nvidia will launch a card that will make practical sense to re-enter PC gaming. About another month and a half.
Spending several hundred dollars just on a video card that'll offer a legit VR experience and for the most part destroy every game for the next little while Mass Effect 4 namely.. June isn't an issue really.
Getting an AMD motherboard though will be a departure. I've always had Intel but only because my last mainboard had every other feature I wanted so I stuck with Intel.
So I'm reading that article among others there's the thing about the OEM partners being ASUS and MSI. Nothing against MSI but no thanks. ASUS for the 1070 sounds interesting. Wondering why there's no Gigabyte card....
Sigh. Suppose I'm going to have to get an ASUS mainboard instead of Gigabyte too. Having started and stopped with figuring out what parts to jump in with its nice to have several set up. 1070, 10 core AMD cpu, 16 gigs of ddr4, and a couple of SSDs it'll be nice.. 1500 later.. Ugh.
