Ah you cant disprove any one of my points... fyi i can program ASM work as an IT architect i know what more about computers than you
:messenger_face_screaming::messenger_hushed: oh snap...

I honestly thought it was gibberish too til you said that...

Ah the choice to use mouse and keyboard so if u want to play with controller its totally unfair.
The choice to be exploited by viruses oe have consistant stuttering caused by AV software
The choice to spend thousands on a better gpu and yet get no actually graphical benefit
The choice to use one of 100 places to launch your seperate lists of games
The choice to play against cheaters or not .. oh sorry you have no choice there

No but really, you don't have to spend 1000's on a better GPU...i got a 1070ti for a lil over $400 back in October '18. I do use my pc for streaming and video editing so there's value in that as well. I like using controller on single player games like Hollow Knight or Tomb Raider, for example. My antivirus doesn't really give me too many issues and I just avoid going to websites I don't trust. It''s not a catch all and viruses are always a threat but...so far so good? The launchers are a problem. I'll grant you that. Half the time I don't even remember what games are clogging up my SSD because I literally have to check everything. Cheaters, though I'd argue are more present on PC, I;kk admit I've rarely run into one (that I know of). It's really not as bad of a problem as people make it out to be.
 

AV

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
i know what more about computers than you

Did you really just type that out? That's pretty good. Feels like I'm on early 2000s messages boards again. Your post was complete nonsense, come on.

Funnily enough, I still do because keeping every PS2 game ripped on the HDD would take A LOT of space, so most of the time I just put the disc and play. Wish I could do this with other emulators aside from PCSX2.
Well of course that would be a valid case, though tbh, if I frequently played PS2 games via emulator, I'd just buy a dedicated external drive for the cause, he he....

Yet, my question was posed mainly to PC gamers consuming current PC games.....

This controller thing is funny, as if you could only buy controllers only if you have a console........I've had controllers for my PC for an eternity......What's more, I could simply use any one of my dual shocks on my steam library, I don't need to buy a controller.....I still have a wired 360 controller, built ford tough, I still use it every now and then and if I go into my controller box...I have a million Mad Catz, Neo Geo, PS2, Logitech, PS3, Hori and some lesser named pads that all work on PC nicely.......How do you think I'm playing Tekken, SFV and LichDom Battle Mage in my rotation right now?......I don't think I have to buy a pad in the next twenty years, neither a mouse or keyboard for that matter...

on 16! newest AAA games in 1080p and high settings.
is 39.4fps averages.
and that pc build has best cpu and best ram.
they telling you need for 1080p and high/ultra setting without compromise
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti + good cpu and goid RAM.

I have an older computer and when I had a 970 (a few months ago) I got better frame rates then that. So i'm not buying that. Though if they are on Ultra settings?

If you are comparing an xbox one x turn everything down to medium and turn off stuff like HBAO+.

I was just giving a nod to the fact what i typed wasnt gibberish ;) i could talk about technical things and that could sound like gibberish to those outside the industry.

Video editing is something that only a PC can do as is programming and whilst you can edit a word document on office online in edge on xbox that would be a pain. Most people use their computers for bittorent VLC spotify and netflix all of which run great on the xbox. My point is that “a PC can do so much more” is more of a mute point than ever.

Thanks for acknowledging that there is some validity to what i was suggesting .. i wasnt at all saying dont buy a PC i have several working in IT unsurprisingly that run visual studio music software etc things you cant do on xbox.

Some points raised here as in any free discourse deserved to be debated.

Yep, I do rip a bunch sometimes and keep on my HDD for Retro games, usually for longer games.

For PC games, I still have plenty of discs that I still haven't replaced with digital versions on GOG or Steam (and I just I love revisiting old demo discs too, for nostalgia). But yeah, it turned into a niche thing, some cases don't even have front slots for drives already, so no point in putting a drive as requeriment anymore.

I'm just glad USB DVD drives are a thing too, if I ever need one in the future.

Wow....Hunert Smo.....I mean Voost kain......Why do you need to spend all that money, if you're just trying to build similar XBONEX hardware????...

Go to Amazon

CPU: Athlon CPU $52 or you can get an intel Pentium
Memory: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance at 2400Mhz for $46
HDD: Seagate 1TB HDD refurb for $37
GPU: XFX RX 580 GTS $189
Case: Rosewill Microt ATX Mini-Case $23
Keybaord and Mouse: Amazon Basics K&M combo $14
Power Supply: Thermal Take 500W PSU $40
Motherboard: Gigabyte AM4 Micro ATX $64
Windows PRO Key $4 average

Total $469.00

Now come on now, I bought another windows key for $3.11 on Ebay a few days back.....It's the PRO version 32/64bit...Home? Who's buying that anyway @ $139.00???? Come on Voost...


You can run your games at 16xAF or run it at 1080p/60fps ultra or high settings......If I'm missing anything, let me know..
4$ windows? That's stolen key for sure (legit windows 10 key alone is 100$) and not to mention some of your listed parts are used, so you are comparing new hardware with warranty (xbox x) compared to the used PC parts without any warranty. Also RX 580 is not enough to match xbox X GPU. Polaris RX580 has no vega features like xbox x GPU (like for example delta color compression) and not to mention xbox x GPU has dx12 build into a hardware level.
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/xbox-scorpio-dx12-built-directly-into-gpu.1358475/
Can RX580 run far cry 5, wolfenstein 2, or metro exodus in 4K with similar settings as xbox X? I have seen results on YT videos and gameplays on RX 580, an also GTX 1060, and results on both cards looked worse.

IMO GTX 1070 is really needed to indeed match xbox x settings in the vast majority of games (in metro I'm not even so sure if 1070 can match xbox x), and who would buy 1070 and pair it with old athlon? People who buy GPU's like GTX 1070 pair it with i5 at least.

Denial is strong with this one.
I bet you people dont even know that you can get w10 for free, from microsofts own site. The only downside is that you cant personalize it.
1070 is simply nonsense. A 590 is a perfect match for the xbonex gpu and plus you get 3 new games with it.
If you want to save money you buy a cheap ryzen 1600 or even a 1500x.

One part was a refurb, the hdd, everything else is new. I just placed it in because it's the first set of hdd's that came up on search. I'm sure I could get a brand new 1tb HDD within that price range of the refurb, if I care to....

Besides, you have no idea if some hdd's in Xbox consoles are refurbished, a refurb is not necessarily a drive used much at all, sometimes a machine was just shipped and returned, or there could be several drives with slight mechanical errors straight from the factory, just sitting there or returned.

You can judge my key as you wish, I always read and do research on a vendor before I purchase. I bought a genuine Oem key from someone who owned it, this is no validation process through some kms server or through someone's account. If you would like to purchase keys at $100 or a million dollars, that's fine, but I'll tell you this, I put in my key and my windows copy was activated through MS servers, no coco makakery involved.

Now lets be straight here, I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, when 10 was being offered for free, I just never bothered to copy the Win 10 key I received. Tbf, my windows was activated, but since I could not get the key through pro shell, I just bought one. Thing is I've been doing so many upgrades to my PC recently, it started saying my activation would expire soon for the first time, I didn't bother doing a fix myself, as I am sure I could get rid of the popup, I just bought a key, works like a dream and my key is tied to my MS account. Anybody buying Windows keys at $100-139 from Microsoft in the name of its "genuine" in 2019 needs to be flogged silly.....

The vast majority of them worth a damn do not hold a constant 4K image on top of being sub 30fps at medium graphics settings.

Stop moving the goalposts, first it was none. Now none worth a damn. And I've never en-counted anything under locked 30fps 99% of the time outside of games like Just Cause 4 regardless of the resolution.

But please a vast list of the games worth a damn over just the past 12 months that aren't native 4K and run sub 30fps then.
 
My point is that “a PC can do so much more” is more of a mute point than ever.

Offcourse you can do everything on a xbox one, just like 'everything' could be done on an OG xbox or PS2 aswell. Its just that a well specced pc does it so much better and faster.

A console mass-manufactured in a factory from cheap parts costs less than a custom built PC

Have you informed the media?

Why is there still an argument about this? It's silly. For $450 the X is a perfectly good box that looks great for the cost. It's easy to set up and comes with all you need to use it.

Has anyone on here that's built a PC worried about it being a better value than a console? I sure as shit didn't. When a PC video card outweighs the entire X hardware there's a good chance you're going to pay for it. How many people are honestly scouring online garbage dumps for outdated parts to build a sub $500 gaming PC?

I don't know... being able to play multiplayer without paying $60/yr is not really a moot point... The cost of paying for multiplayer across a 6-7 year console generation is close to the cost of an RTX2060.

What a dumb reply. Gold gets you free games every month. There's extra value there you've conveniently forgotten to mention. And you're just lazy if you pay more than $45 a year for gold. It's on sale so regularly for that or less that you could literally buy it any month of the year (or week, even) and never pay close to $60

I don't see the point of the discussion. Xbox One X is a great deal, it has pretty good hardware and has all the benefits that come with a console.

A PC... Is a PC. Consoles will never be able to match PC's because that's not what they are looking for.

You want a closed environment for the most straight forward experience possible? Go for a console. If power is what you need, the Xbox One X is the best available right now.

You want flexibility and be able to do more things, access to other kind of games and the capability of upgrading? PC is the only platform that offers that right now.

I feel they fulfill different purposes.

The games aren't free if you have to pay money... I would say the dumb reply has come from you considering your incorrect use of the word "free"...

4-10$ win10 keys are stolen, that's why you can buy them so cheap. Yes, most of them will work because MS cant check every transaction and key history but MS dont sell windows 10 legaly this way (as keys codes alone without a license). Do you also pirate everything else on PC and consider people who buy legit software silly?

All the parts I listed has warranty, or you can replace them if you have an issue with the shipped product.

I had to touch on your other points, but I'm mobile so could not do so earlier or type much. You guys really need to stop this, the Xbox GPU is no Gtx 1070, not even close, the Gtx, 1070 runs Soul Calibur 6 at 4k 60fps. The Rx570 can run Soul Calibur 6 at 1440p 60fps, just as the XBONEX, but with no drops in critical arts. Many of the games the Xbonex is running at medium settings with 4k NATIVE 30fps with dips, 4k dynamic resolution 30fps with dips or even checkerboard rendering with Dios, the rx 580 can run it at 1080p 60 fps with better visuals, sometimes even 1440p 60fps or more consistently. Look at some Jermgaming videos, some Giant monkey, Santiago Santiago or Geralt videos on many different games. FC5 had a setting on low on XBONEX, METRO definitely runs better on a PC setup with a Rx 580 at Xbonex settings or better. You can do a little research, it's all there....

Jermgaming's potato masher pro can run fortnite at 1440p 60fps, with better visuals than Xbonex, rx 580 can do forza horizon 4 max settings at 1080p, it can do forza 7 at max settings at 4k 60 fps. Potato masher Pro just run better in many games already. Had his masher been decked with an Rx580 instead of a 1060, it would win in even more games like all the dx12 and Vulkan games, even forza. You think the Xbonex beats an rx 580 in doom or Wolfenstein? If you go 1060, it definitely does not beat it in Fortnite or Overwatch. So it can waver per game what GPU you deck the masher with, but the masher will prove itself to push the visual side a bit better in many games.

The truth is, a GTX 1070 is a pipe dream for XBONEX, whoever told you that must be grinning that he fooled you.... I'd like to know who started the XBONEX is equivalent to a 1070 though, it's hilarious.... I hope it's no tech outlet tbh....

Just one last thing, XBONEX has no Vega features.... DX12 hardware means nothing AMD Polaris hardware fully supports DX12, that's why AMD has been winning the DX12 titles for the past two years over Nvidia.....580 vs 1060 in dx12, 580 wins.... That's the crux of it, there isn't anything special about dx12 hardware on XBONEX vs Polaris.....
 
Obviously a RX580 equipped pc will beat One X most of the time. Then with this 580 pc you can do much more then just playing games or watching movies. Yes Xbox can do that also but the pc so much better.

This right here. Some people just wanna get home and enjoy their games on a reliable and hassle-free console. Even if you put the PC on your TV for couch-gaming, it's still a hassle to do everything with just a controller, like setting a music on Spotify, choosing something on Netflix, selecting audio-output, etc.
Minor things, but they can be a bother to some people.

Unlike many people here I'm not Playstation or even Xbox fanboy (I game on every popular platform, and I have uploaded many screenshots from xbox x/PS4P/PC games here on neogaf). Because of that I'm not blind to facts. I can see xbox x CPU is weak as 100 years old man ;), but I can also see it's GPU is faster than people like you are willing to admit.

I have made extensive research in regards to PS4P and xbox x tech, so dont worry about that :). Xbox x GPU has indeed some vega features if you havent know that (delta color compression from vega for example improve memory bandwidth on xbox x), so maybe you should do your own research better next time before you suggest other people to do it for you.

https://gamingbolt.com/behind-the-xbox-one-xs-architecture-part-i-what-makes-the-gpu-special

Very good article, and it's clearly written xbox x GPU adopts features from both polaris and vega.

And dx12 processor is also build into xbox x GPU

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/xbox-scorpio-dx12-built-directly-into-gpu.1358475/

"The bottom line is that Scorpio's six teraflops will almost certainly go a lot further than an equivalent PC part"

That's what DigitalFoundry have said in their article.

With vega features like memory compression and dx12 processor build into hardware level on top of that it should be obvious to you xbox x GPU is more like RX 580 on steroids at this point (polaris RX 580 GPU has none of these said features). Thanks to these architecture changes on xbox x GPU is able to double PS4P GPU results with only 1.8 TFLOPS more! Red dead redemption 2 runs on xbox x with twice as many pixels compared to PS4P so that should show everyone how important these architecture improvements were on xbox x console.

You say there's nothing to suggest xbox x GPU can be compared to 1070, yet I have seen many games on xbox x with performance like 1070 (and if not better). On top of that some developers even compared xbox x GPU performance to 1070, and warthunder developer in particular compared it even to 1080.

I remember one GTX 1060 user here on neogaf, who have argued with me his 1060 can match xbox x results in forza 7, but when I have asked him to provide recorded gameplay from one rainy stage in particular he had dips there to around low 50 fps, and that was with high settings only (I bet xbox x settings are matched at this point, if not even better). With maxed out settings and 4xMSAA forza 7 dips to low 40 fps on GTX 1060 (on YT MaDz gaming channel there's gameplay video with dips like that and MaDz even admitted his 1060 6GB was not able to match xbox x results in this game).

Forza 7 on Xbox x runs with perfectly locked 60 fps in 4K with close to maxed out settings and xbox x GPU usage according to DigitalFoundry is still far from maxed out (without vsync performance is probably around 80fps). Can 1060 users can really match performance like that? The truth is no, because 1060GTX dips to 50fps even at high settings, and that's of course not what xbox x users are seeing. So obviously If people want to match xbox x results they need something better, and what's also interesting even on 1070 there are scenarios, when fps will dip below 60fps in this game (it's rare but I have seen gameplays with dips on 1070 below 60fps in forza 7). So how is that even 1060 users are admitting they cant match xbox x results, and sometimes even 1070 struggle to match xbox x results, and yet you say 1070 is far superior than xbox x GPU while it's clearly not.

Besides forza there are also other games that shows much better performance compared to 1060. Games like metro exodus, and wolfenstein 2 in particular are very interesting. Wolfenstein 2 runs on xbox x in 4K dynamic at 55-60fps and close to high settings. 1060 even with 2GHz OC runs the same game at 45-55fps at 4K dynamic and that's with LOW and medium settings mix (RX 580 results are only 2-3fps better in this game compared to 1060). So even with worse settings both 1060 and RX 580 cant match xbox x results.



Can you explain me why 1070 GTX dips to 13 fps with xbox x 4K native and "high" settings equivalent (4K + high settings benchmark starts at 12m16s). You have said 1070 is far superior and yet it cant match xbox x results as shown here. I wonder how your unrealistically cheap PC (stolen windows 10 key) with 580 RX would fare :p, probably even worse.

Truth be told, I have seen games that run worse on xbox x compared to 1070 (assassins creed origins for example), but these were big open world games so CPU bottleneck can explain worse performance. But in GPU bound scenarios it really looks to me like xbox x can easily match 1070 results and even surpass it in certain games.

I had to touch on your other points,
4$ keys are stolen and cant be considered legal without a license, so no wonder you had to steer discussion away from facts.

don't try it. There are older threads where a user (I don't want to name) always writes how unbeatable the PS4 Pro GPU is. And if the same thread (like this) is about the xbox he writes the opposite ;)
Fanboys at their best.


The comparison with the GTX 1070 is quite right. The xbox one X GPU is faster and more modern than the RX580 and has higher memory bandwidth (and a bit more memory). The problem not reaching 60fps in some titles is the CPU, therefore graphic features (well resolution is one of them) get normally pushed if only 30 is an option. Yes the GTX 1070 should be a bit faster in theory, but there was nothing compareable on the market at the time of the xbox one x.
E.g. Destiny 2 would be possible with 60fps on the current consoles, if they had a better cpu but than with lower image quality.

To make it short:
You can't build a PC with new components that match the power of the xbox one x or the PS4 Pro at the same price. Even if prices for the PC parts will drop a bit more, the console prices will also drop.

I use my PCs disk drive for watching Blu Rays as I didnt have a player or console when I built it.

It still comes in handy. Its a worthwhile inclusion and theyre cheap these days. A blu ray drive can be had for £30 and software isnt much difference. I use PowerDVD I bought a couple years back. Still does great if we wanna watch a movie on the rig.

Wow....Hunert Smo.....I mean Voost kain......Why do you need to spend all that money, if you're just trying to build similar XBONEX hardware????...

Go to Amazon

CPU: Athlon CPU $52 or you can get an intel Pentium
Memory: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance at 2400Mhz for $46
HDD: Seagate 1TB HDD refurb for $37
GPU: XFX RX 580 GTS $189
Case: Rosewill Microt ATX Mini-Case $23
Keybaord and Mouse: Amazon Basics K&M combo $14
Power Supply: Thermal Take 500W PSU $40
Motherboard: Gigabyte AM4 Micro ATX $64
Windows PRO Key $4 average

Total $469.00

Now come on now, I bought another windows key for $3.11 on Ebay a few days back.....It's the PRO version 32/64bit...Home? Who's buying that anyway @ $139.00???? Come on Voost...


You can run your games at 16xAF or run it at 1080p/60fps ultra or high settings......If I'm missing anything, let me know..


Why are you including "Refurb" parts and pirated software? If you're going to get so frugal building a PC, then why not be frugal buying an Xbox One X which can be had for $380 including a game. Still a much better value, especially since it can play 4K Blu-ray. It's the best bang for your buck when comparing to PC and even other consoles.

Ther is nothing to build here. 4k at medium high pc video settings is nothing special. For me effects over resolution any day
I have better shadows better textures, better HBAO+ , hairworks etc on 1080p on gtx 1060 that x1x just cant have

It's funny, but if people are willing to list stolen products prices, then I'm guessing people can also buy stolen xbox X console :D. Guys, I have no idea how much stolen xbox x could cost, but I'm guessing it's probably lower than 300 :D?

Unless you wanna play all games at 60fps and many japanese games like yakuza.

You'll be able to get better performance for your money eventually obviously. And didn't we have one of these threads recently.
Lets have one about the Pro, where you can get a Rx 470 which has more TFlops than a Pro for even less.

are in a big trouble
If I wanted to play 4k gaming I would never buy an Xbox one X. 30fps with medium settings what's the point.

When they say 60fps it doesn't mean it stays at 60fps all game. a sudden drop to 30fps is very noticeable and extremely annoying for me.

Console gamers just hear 4K that's it. The resolution is 4k but some games don't have 4k textures at all but some offer them after in a download. As a person who games on both console and PC I would rather 4k on pc just my opinion

Let me know where you can buy an xbox one x for 10% of the price.

Lol, it doesn't even have to be stolen, I'm seeing listings on eBay for as low as $280. TLW just tries too hard to downplay the value of Xbox One X.

don't try it. There are older threads where a user (I don't want to name) always writes how unbeatable the PS4 Pro GPU is. And if the same thread (like this) is about the xbox he writes the opposite ;)
Fanboys at their best.


The comparison with the GTX 1070 is quite right. The xbox one X GPU is faster and more modern than the RX580 and has higher memory bandwidth (and a bit more memory). The problem not reaching 60fps in some titles is the CPU, therefore graphic features (well resolution is one of them) get normally pushed if only 30 is an option. Yes the GTX 1070 should be a bit faster in theory, but there was nothing compareable on the market at the time of the xbox one x.
E.g. Destiny 2 would be possible with 60fps on the current consoles, if they had a better cpu but than with lower image quality.

To make it short:
You can't build a PC with new components that match the power of the xbox one x or the PS4 Pro at the same price. Even if prices for the PC parts will drop a bit more, the console prices will also drop.

A 580 is more capble if anything, one x shares its bandwith with the cpu etc. More memory i think its the 580 too, 8gb of it just for the gpu, total for one x is 12gb but how much is for games? And whats left for vram?

In most situations a 1060/580 performs atleast equal to one x, with the edge in textures/fps and/or native 4k instead of faux 4k.
 
Your point is refuted because it is factually wrong.

And yet you've still done nothing to counter the point that Xbox live gold adds value when the original post I was responding to was about how its $60 a year just to play online multiplayer games. It's an old, tired argument pointing out that the games are not actually free. It's $40 a year. PC players need to stop acting like it's a even playing ground between having to deal with 15 different launchers and having the convenience, security, etc of a unified ecosystem. Dat shit ain't free.

So stolen xbox x should be much lower than that, maybe even below 100$ then :p.

So you pay $100 for Windows 10? LMAO.
That's the price if you want to buy windows 10 legally. Yes, you can buy windows 10 keys for cheap, but MS can ban your key anytime because you are using stolen software without a licence. Do you also laugh when people pay 50$ for legit games? If games can be downloaded for free so what's the point of buying them right? Developers can make their games because that's like charity for them, and they dont need any income from their job to feel happy :D.

Can you prove those keys are stolen? You do realize those keys were free right? How do you know if people didn't create a bunch of emails to get the keys to resale? Nope, I pay for new games full price. If there was a cheaper option, you can bet that i'll pick the cheaper option. Let me know where I can buy new games for $5 since you seem to know everything about buying stolen goods. Feel free to PM me your windows 10 receipt where you paid full price.
