*doubles your electricity bill*
>>748485020i loaev my puter all my funs are in it
>>748485020I just feel like for gaming, the improvements you'd get from a high end PC can't be that much of an improvement over a PS5 Pro to justify the extra cost.
>>748485097You’d be wrong
>>748485097you're right playstation sister, I will look into playing games at sub 30 fps at 720p
>>748485097I can do other stuff with my gaming PC besides games. Like record and produce music.
>>748485097This is vastly inaccurate even if we just keep to gaming alone, much less the other benefits and uses for a PC. Not to mention you can build a PC capable of better than PS5 Pro performance for equal or less
>>748485202If I built a PC I'd put it in my living room and use it as a console, so I wouldn't care about the other features.
A desktop PC idle used like 30-60WWhat has doubled electricity costs is capitalists with a near monopoly on electricity raising prices for more profits and falsely claiming they had to because of datacenters
>>748485097>hmm I think playing at 4k 120 is the same as playing at 1200p 60 on a proRetard
>>748485346Cool it with the antisemitism
>>748485385>1200p 60 on a prolol. lmao.
>>748485346Yeah and like 600 when gaming. Just turn the shit off if you want to save 20 bucks on your electric bill poor person
>>74848502065w cpu and 180w gpu Literally nothing barely more than a tv and thats max wattage, on idle its practically nil
>>748485020I have one desktop PC running as a server and one gaming PC that admittedly goes to sleep when not in use.My electricity bill is $70 a month during summer days, and that's including charging my fucking EV.Get real.
>>748485557>EVfag
These days even an extremely powerful desktop PC doesn't use a ton of power and PSUs can be very efficient. LED lighting brings the cost down to fractions of fractions of pennies - even back in the day CCFLs and the like hardly cost anything, but LEDs are much more cost efficient than incandescent or florescent, so even if you had rainbow vomit on 24/7 in demo mode it isn't going to be spiking your power bill. >>748485230Even using one that way would have benefits. Want to set up a custom media center that would let you stream anything seamlessly (and play any local media for that matter) in a single place? Easy on a PC, inexpensive, and no fear that you'll be banned unlike consoles
My PC is the size of toaster and has 4090 in it, and my electricity bill is $40.00 a month when I’m not using my air conditioner. My PSU fan doesn’t even run most of the time.
>>748485097>I feel likeWhat are you a faggot? Use your head
Oh no I have to pay like 20 bucks extra each month having my PC running 24/7!?And this doesn't even take into account the heat it provides.
Off peak hours electricity here is like $0.07/kWh, it simply doesn't matter lol
>>748485709t. never tried a good EVWith gas prices at $3 a liter plus less fees for EVs in my country, it makes no sense to get a fossil car at this point. It's just a waste of money when all I need to do is get to work.
>>74848549665w cpu and 90 w gpu here
>>748486061where? that's absurdly low
>>748485020>electricity company literally pays you for electricityFeels good man.Going to go and turn on the air conditioner, heater and every PC in the house.
>>748485097Can you post on 4chan using a ps5 pro?
>>748485020*pirates the power of the sun*heh, nutting personnel.
>>748485346Look at how happy they look.
>>748485346This but instead of money it's arable land.
just undervolt it
lol, console poors
>>748486293>>748486510>can't afford a housefuck this pay-to-win life
>>748486293Hope you paid for them panels in cashbecause otherwise lol
>>748485020I use a N100 minipc. Like 20w from the wall under load
>>748486176Utah. Also thinking about supplementing that with solar for ac in the summer next year though.
>>748485165*120fps for competitive games*4k/60fps or higher for single player games
>>748486910trans by the way
>>748485020Who actually turns their PC off? I leave mine on 247 unless their is a major storm that could volt my hardware but I've only ever lost one DAC and a power supply. It's not even that much power draw and I got solar for the day and if I cared I could invest in a battery for storing charge during the day.
>>748487098Let your PC sleep.
>>748486293California literally changed the laws to force panel owners to sell the power at a loss then pay a monthly fee to "make up" for any savings since making your own power "defunds BIPOC and economically disadvantaged communities"I swear I am not making this up. NEM and the CPUC are utterly corrupt shitheaps. To be clear none of that money goes to improving the grid, it's all executive pay and settlements for burning cities down because they don't invest in the grid.
>>748487174No. She will slave every waking moment of her existence for my pleasure until she burns out and is inevitably replaced.Computers have no rights, and neither should clankers like (You).
>>748487272>third world shitholes act like third world shitholesWater is wet
>>748485097Yeah, it's just an increase of frame rate, the games play and look mostly the same.
>>748487174its more healthy for the PC to stay on all the time then turning it on and off all the time
>>748487098I have automatic sleep on my PC. No need to leave it on. If I need my PC to be available, I can turn it on using my phone from anywhere in the world.
>>748485496What kind of 2014 ass build do you have god damn that thing must be struggling with new games
>>748485020>$2000 gaming pc>only play solitaire while watching youtubeI feel guilty
>>748485097but anon the ps5 has no games
>>748485020Use Frame Limiter. Play your game at 60 fpsall those unused FPS are wasted to elecricity bill
>>748487450It only got pretty much every game on the market
>>748485020This is why laptop is better
>>748487450The fuck you talking about? There's Astro Bot, and
>>748485346Based
>>748487281I let my PC sleep every night, I love her, all my vibeo gams are with her.
>>748487523Death Stranding 2, since it bombed so hard the PC version got cancelled.
>>748487416Not him. I have a Ryzen 5600X which is a 65w cpu and a RX 9060 XT, which is like 200 watt.
>>748487449I have a 9800x3d, 32gb ddr5 and 4070 ti super. Mostly been playing Civ 3 and Sim City 3000 lately.
>>748485557Electric vehicle? What are you, gay? Real men use gas cars, a little carbon footprint never hurt anybody.
>>748487638cars are gay in general
>>748485346Fixed
>>748485020My entire pc only uses 200W in excl monitor
>>748487583Damn that poor machine let it rest already..
>>748487638I'm not going to pay 3 times the amount monthly just to have a car that makes a bit more noise. I don't care about the carbon footprint or the environment. I care about the practical benefits.
>>748487813Can't ram prices are too high.
>>748485097Eh, I can play old games without having to pay faggots reselling them, this includes a corporation trying to sell me a remaster or a homo who has a physical copy. That's a win in my eyes. I'm not paying 60+ for P3 FES.
I have a 9800X3D+4090 PC and I didn’t even notice my upgrade in my electricity bill. My toilet’s underfloor heating is basically two 4090 PCs on full bore 24/7 anyway.
>>748485097That's okay. Those grapes are sour anyway.
>>748488141Why can't the 7500 dollar 5090 run Wolverine or Astro Bot?
>>748488203>Astro Bot?It can do that now, albeit at an unstable fps and with crashes. You can expect it to be playable within a month, but Wolverine will likely never get any dev time for obvious reasons.
>>748488141If graphics mattered to you then you'd have a 5090
>>748485097How do I play Noita, Path of Achra, Total War, Dwarf Fortress, Dota, Team Fortress etc on a PS5 pro
>>748489028tranny games aren't allowed on PS5 Pro
>>748485097Maybe if you're cattle who doesn't mind being a slave and owning nothing. For actual people, consoles are a nonstarter.
>>748489028can be played on a decent laptop
>The /v/ PCMR thread where a bunch of third worlders all gloat over a "weak" console which plays games no different to their PC
My PC is maybe like a 500W tier space heater at most, and that's assuming a full load on both the CPU and GPU. Running the oven for two hours would be more detrimental to my electricity bills.
>>748485097this but a regular ps5
>>748485020> not living in Ukraine> not plugging your PC into illegal power line coming from Chernobyl nuclear power plantngmi
>>748485346You don’t own any solar?
>>748485020>he doesn't use an efficient GPU
>>748489297Nice LARP, the ChNPP has been decommissioned since the year 2000.As in, yes, the remaining reactors were operating for 14 years after the disaster. Including the one right next to the highest concentration of radioactive waste on the planet.
>>748485020It barely uses more current than a fridge.It's more on par with a console in 2026.
>>748485346t.
>>748487272You’re full of it, post a source
>>748489363>the ChNPP has been decommissioned since the year 2000.That's what they want you to believe, newfag. Lurk moar. > Including the one right next to the highest concentration of radioactive waste on the planet.So what? I don't care if my electricity is radioactive, I can handle it, so does my PC. Only cheap components made out of chinesium cannot handle a bit of radiation.
>>748485489Most games don't push anywhere close to full load. I have a 5700x3d and a 9070xt that both go over 400w measured at the wall if I stress test both cpu and gpu, but in games it rarely goes past 170
>>748487562Based PC anthropomorhiser
>>748487736Based
>>748487638A car? So I can go outside? Sounds prett gay desu
>>748489452Yes I'm also aware that ever since the disaster it doubled as a secret laboratory aiming to influence the noosphere that operated six years after the reactors were shut down until the Second Disaster.
>>748489537I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just saying that electricity is actually free, and that the jews don't want you to know about it.
>>748485020It's not about the price you pay per month, but the amount of resources wasted by the vast amount of very power-intensive machines.That's why Cal has put a limit on the power of machines(for personal computers), because it's draining this world really fast of it's resources, and it's important to look ahead, so that we don't make ourselves extinct too fast.

>>748485097Can you generate AI porn while creating 3D models and watching ad-free youtube on your Wii?
>>748488960I have a 5070ti. Dont be jelly, Im sure you can afford one after 5 years
