You wouldn't know it to look at how I've gamed for the past decade, but I grew up as a dedicated PC gamer – right down to the magazine subscriptions and a desperation to upgrade components I could absolutely not afford to swap. I had a deeply mediocre computer housed in a bleak grey plastic Dell shell, and I pushed it to its limit for years.
Now, though, I'm more than 10 years into mainlining console gaming, from the Xbox One to the PS4 and eventually the PS5 Pro – none of them as cheap as chips, but all of them the option I could afford at the time. A high-end gaming PC has always been out of reach, but Nvidia has provided a 50-series system from Overclockers UK to T3 so that I can check out just what I've been missing out on.
