I don’t entirely disagree with you, but if your old PC runs almost all new games and without any significant performance gains by upgrading, why would you get a new PC?

without any significant performance gains by upgrading

Unless you’re buying n “upgrade” from the same year that you bought your original from, there will always be a significant graphical upgrade.

What the hell kind of argument is that lmfao.

If it wasn’t clear I’m not talking about actual PCs but making an analogy about the difference between PS5 and PS5 Pro.

You wouldn’t upgrade your PC if that’s all the performance gains you were going to get, right?

The person you responded to was…. If you want to argue a tangential point to derail a conversation instead of adding to it, that’s entirely on you.

After 4 years the upgrade would be substantial, so I don’t get why you would even compare the two to begin with? It’s apples and oranges regardless lmfao.

So you are here to start pendendatic arguments completely oblivious to main topic of this entire post??? Are you trolling or stupid? It's 100% clear what the person you replied to meant.and it's 100% on topic for the post of "ps5 is pointless upgrade" so what exactly are you arguing other than some weird PC fanboy pride that seems bruised

With the last few gpu generations it's even accurate.. huge amount of ppl see no need to upgrade from GTX 1080.

Not unless you're also upgrading your display. It always comes down to the weakest link in the chain.
