Listen Later

Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! Nvidia has just unveiled its latest generation of RTX graphics cards, and the prices are absolutely eye-watering. But is it really worth dropping thousands on a gaming PC when a £350 second-hand PS5 could deliver a great gaming experience? Let’s dive into the debate! In this episode: Looking back & ahead – We reflect on the podcast’s journey and where it’s headed. GPU sticker shock! – Are the astronomical prices of modern graphics cards justifiable? Console vs. PC – Is a £350 pre-owned PS5 better value than a high-end gaming rig? Upscaling & frame-gen – Have these technologies narrowed the image quality gap between PCs and consoles? The PS5 Pro conundrum – Is the PS5 Pro a true alternative to a high-end gaming setup? A blast from the past – How gaming PCs like the Commodore Amiga stacked up against their console rivals. PC gaming on a budget – Do cheap digital games offset the high cost of hardware? Handheld revolution? – Are low-end gaming PCs, like those from Valve & ASUS, the real value champions? What do you think? Team PC or Team Console? Let’s discuss! Check out Trev and Al’s other podcast where they reminisce about a different episode of Star Trek every month! : https://longrangesensors.com/episodes Intro/Outro Music – Turn The Page (Tutorial Theme) – Ridge Racer Type 4 (1998) – Sony Playstation – Composer(s): Hiroshi Okubo
