And how close to the average PC out there is yours ? Not even close.
Again, I'm not arguing about price/fps ratio for a potential buyer of a Mac/PC. I'm not even comparing anything here. Just highlighting the false impression these forums tend to create, that the vast majority of PCs are high-end gaming beasts, while all Macs struggle.
And you don't even have to take my word for it, just look at the post above yours.
Yes but you must set a base line somewhere. Surly that is price.
There are no crap macs, macs are some of the best quality PCs you can buy.
My point is I have a gaming PC that I spend the same as a base Mac Pro. The Mac Pro as you pointed out sits In the top 7% of High end gaming systems! mine in the top 1%. Given the same baseline, both high end systems, mine is far superior in gaming, the Mac Pro is superior to my PC in other maters.
Saying that most PCs out there are not high end, is kinda void as people looking for advice on here want to spent x amount, be it a mac or PC, so therefore we need to look at systems at that price point. Mac are highend systems, therefore compare them to equivalent PCs.
A far bigger problem that these forums produce is the impressions of how good macs are at gaming. So basically users on here choose to ignore high end PC gaming systems and claim how great thier mac pros or MacBook pros are at gaming. Just because you have not gamed at max setting at high FPS , and game at medium settings.....that is not where the bar is. The bar is gaming at max, and the hardware will limit how close you can get to it.
At the end if the day, someone with x amount to spend needs to be informed that a mac is a great system with decent gaming potential, as long as you are not looking for a system mainly for gaming.
