A few more links for ya

Thank you please.

I doubt I'd notice the difference over the PS4 unless it was full on Titans or the like and that ain't worth £1500 to me.

What I do believe though, is that the only advantage the average decent spec PC has on the PS4, is the lighting. That's why it only interests me for driving games. It really brings them to life where PS4 still needs a rub around the edges (literally).

Yeah, I was gonna say you forgot RAM and a cooling set up, which seems even more appropriate after reading the quote you posted!

My requirement is for 4k compatibility and I reckon that 970M is more than capable of matching the PS4 and boosting the resolution. I don't want Xfire, SLI or over clocking. Can't be arsed with all that malarkey (see my reply to Timey). After watching your linked video though, it's put me right off. I had no idea how small that unit was and I know it will be even noisier than my ps4 at full puff.

I would want one with a slightly larger form factor.

They can do a million and one things, but they can't teach you to tell the time. Have you tried Toys R Us?

My wheel set up rocks and has proved how controllers are too easy when it comes to cornering. Wotty bought the same set up and now we're heading back to Simply Race in MK tonight for a Formula One session. On a proper set up you find yourself driving slower and going faster.

Best purchase in a long time.

One of these from Kila's link might be a better replacement, and has a three year warranty?

I guess it all depends on how well the PS4 version stacks up at the end of the day, as to whether I bother with the hassle of another set up. The PS4 suits me for gaming so I'll have to wait and see how it plays out, but I do know that I don't want the bother of building a marginally higher spec PC for £750, if I can buy one of these off the shelf with a 3 year warranty.

Looks nice i shall buy one for each room�..I don't see the steering wheel and pedals on it though

a single 970 I think would struggle at 4k, pixel count is a huge gpu resource eater. The 970M is also weaker than the 970.

Despite the hype 4k gaming is a niche thing, and its expensive.

A modern game like DA:I e.g. with its details turned up (but not max possible) stresses my 970 probably between about 50-90% range at 60fps, and I game at 1050p not even close to 4k.

Now granted at 4k you could probably turn MSAA off and not see the difference, which will save gpu cycles I think a single 970 would still struggle unless you turned down all the affects and then the visuals would be "disappointing".

There is a rumoured new titan card coming out tho, that may be ok without SLI but it will probably also be very expensive. The new amd 300 series cards I think the highest model will beat the current gtx 980.

I also wouldnt be surprised if a gtx 990 is released which will be 2 980s in one card.

note here, some are even saying 2 970s may not be enough. http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2ol100/dis...

it will be better than a ps4 (the last model) but I think still not good enough for a good 4k experience. 1440p might be ok tho.
