no, my GTX 970 barely gets 30fps in some games on ultra settings. Certainly I could lower them but that defeats the main purpose of gaming on a PC. On console the developers will actually base game designs to achieve the most optimal look where on PC they would just slap whatever they want in the game and let it be your problem.
Besides that's not the mentality that the typical console gamer carries, they want a small box and streamlined experience where everything is guaranteed to work with the included controller and the millennia's base a lot of their gaming decisions on what all their friends are using so they can play online together. I work with a few of them and they don't seem to care about top shelf graphics or mods at all and it's one of many reasons why consoles keep selling.
For me, the main purpose(s) of gaming on a pc are in this order: Ability to natively use a mouse and keyboard, modability, hackability, and lastly, increased framerate and graphics.
A quick poll of gamers in the office show that the first two purposes i listed are the same with most of us. Higher framerates and graphics are down on the list and not as important.
