I'm good. I built my rig just over a year ago, I won't need to upgrade anything on it for awhile.

Does it count if I'm on console? Can I still ascend? Yes?

OneWomanArmy you can ascend to their upgraded versions and just when you think that you'll have a smoother experience on as PS4 Pro than on a regular PS4 you'll learn about the fact that they just increase the resolution but the game still runs with shitty 30fps.

Sadly the PS4 Pro wont even be proper 4k gaming. On top of it being 1800p instead of 2160p it's checkerboard rendering. Which means that the PS4 Pro will only draw about half the pixels and then use other data to just try to figure out what the rest of the frame should look like, resulting in an image that doesn't take as much resources but isn't as high quality as if you could just actually render it at 1800p(still will look better than 1080p though). Of course you still have to game at 30 FPS so...

@cyonan: Thanks for going into further details how shitty this whole deal is with the updated consoles. I really don't get it though... if I had a PS4 Pro and most likely still a FullHD TV (like a friend of mine for example) I'd be really angry about this approach. I'd rather have 60fps in 1920x1080 than upscaled 1800p but apparently you can't chose. But maybe they patch it in so you can chose performance over higher resolution. And hey OneWomanArmy I'm not meanon purpose, I just state some facts. But I know a solution: get a PC and join us. If you are playing on a 1920x1080 monitor you also don't need the fastest (and expensive) hardware

If you are playing on a 1920x1080 monitor you also don't need the fastest (and expensive) hardware It's pretty indicative of just how bad the console hardware is this generation that they're already capping it at 30 FPS at 1080p on the normal PS4, and at checkerboard 1800p on the PS4 Pro. Reportedly the Xbox Scorpio(their version of the pro) will be capable of true 4k, but we've not actually seen the specs on that as far as I know. I suspect that would be capped at 30 FPS as well, since even a PC running the holy grail of 60 FPS @ 4k is damn expensive right now. I know Battlefield 1 actually tried to use dynamic resolution scaling to help maintain a higher framerate, which allows the game engine to actually scale back the resolution during gameplay if it dips too low in FPS. Unfortunately from what I've heard, neither console can maintain 60 FPS even with that(and Battlefield 1 was a fairly well optimized game running a fairly well optimized engine). It would be nice if they included an option on the PS4 Pro version of ME:A so that the user could choose between 1800p @ 30 FPS or 1080p @ 60 FPS(assuming that it's capable of this). A PC capable of maintaining 60 FPS @ 1080p really isn't all that expensive these days. Would recommend ascension =P

I highly doubt the Xbox Scorpio will be capable of true 4k. At least not with a satisfying framerate. I currently have a GTX1080 (and an overclocked one as well) and in some games I have to reduce some details to be able to have constant 60fps @ 3440x1440 which is "only" 5 million pixels compared to the 8,3 million pixels of 3860x2160. And I highly doubt the Scorpio's GPU will be on the same level as a GTX1080 to be honest. Not at the price-level MS and Sony are selling their consoles.
That being said it also breaks down to how well the games are optimized. Some games like DOOM for example run like crazy with high FPS on my system, but Deus Ex Mankind Divided on the other is very poorly optimized and just one of the games that comes to mind when I think about reducing details to get steady 60fps at my resolution.

Some games like DOOM for example run like crazy with high FPS on my system, but Deus Ex Mankind Divided on the other is very poorly optimized and just one of the games that comes to mind when I think about reducing details to get steady 60fps at my resolution. Yeah right now about the only card worthy of trying for a stable 60 FPS @ 4k on even poorly optimized games is the Nvidia Titan X which is around $1200 USD unless you're getting into SLI. Once it comes out, the 1080ti should be a proper contender in that arena as well but it's not going to be a cheap card either. I wouldn't be surprised if the Scorpio has to resort to the same checkerboard rendering just to maintain 30 FPS at 4k, to be honest. I just don't see it having a high end card for the price that consoles get sold at. All games should be as well optimized as DOOM is. That thing could get 60 FPS on a toaster. I'm actually hoping that DICE taught BioWare a thing or two about that. Battlefield 1 was a solidly optimized game, and BioWare has said they've gotten help from other EA studios a decent amount.

xassantex sounds like a good system. I run Win 10 Pro and have no trouble with Cortana. You know why? I shut that bitch up right after the initial installation. Disabled her/it like some other functions and all the "ET wants to call home aka Redmond" functions with a nice tool. It's actually even called shut up, not kidding: "O&O ShutUp10". Not sure if there's an english version though...

Not sure if there's an english version though... what language is it in ? i might install win10 later on. But i thought since their last update it was a hassle to shut her up as one had to do it one app at a time or just about. thanks about the build. It's running cool and quietly . I will add another ssd over time . And the 1070 should be fine for a good while... i only use it to surf the web and write e-mail .

Pieszka @pieszka Would be nice to know PC system requirements *thumbs up* Michael Gamble @gamblemike that's coming within the next 2 weeks for sure. It's all set! Pieszka @pieszka Thank you for information kind Sir 👍 Michael Gamble @gamblemike no problem. I'm *really* sorry we didn't get it out sooner. We were experimenting to make sure that our min spec was rock solid! Almost there...
