You butthurt, Yeah one more month!

He's a closet lem and has two Mighty X1X's preordered. The wife and kids demanded it.... Bank Baby !! :P

I'm not sure who those reported graphic check board issues and no exclusives with the X.

Who you kidding. You don't even play exclusives and whatever Bore Poo can do, Mighty X1X MonsterBox can do worlds better.

No then, stick that in yo pipe a smoke it. :P

THEY MATTER SP, you know they do, just accept the facts so the healing can begin.

What salt? I can play Xbox games and the Xbox gamers cannot play my games. I can get 4K/60fps and the Xbox gamers cannot. The PC library is essentially an upgraded version of the Xbox's lol.

Great comeback. I've yet to see how the GTX 580 outperforms the One X.

Pretty sure the 920 is very similar in performance to the i5-6400. But its much more expensive than the Pentium it's irrelevant.

You'll have to be more specific than that.

I have no idea why you're talking about a GTX 580.

I misread the OP and confused the 580 with the 1060, I'll admit. Anyway, my point still stands, there's not a massive difference between them. Scorpio is going to perform better than the 390X at the very least. And with the architectural improvements along with lower drawcall overhead which is the norm on consoles, it'll be much better than either the 580 or the 1060.

@Grey_Eyed_Elf said:

I was.... But you quoted just this.

AMD Jaguar core's are trash in comparison to even AMD's own FX series and those get destroyed by i3's.

The closest thing we have to the X1X CPU is a AMD A6 2.0Ghz Jaguar chip and its absolute garbage in comparison to a MOBILE i5... But a Desktop i5?... Your drinking something that's for sure.

Seriously? an AMD A6? That's as ridiculous as people using a freaking 5350 to compare to the PS4/XBO just because it has 'Jaguar cores'. These comparisons are laughable. A CPU with the exact same specifications will always perform worse when compared to consoles.

Remains to be seen. So far it's not exactly performing well in ROTTR in 4K.

Yea because 2016/2017 have showed how reliable media is...

Ok Mr President...

Not a Trump supporter, not a Brexit supporter.

I consider myself pretty central, the right are retarded, the left are looneys.

How about coming to your own conclusions piece by piece and realising that media is chugging out propaganda on both sides? and your fabled gaming trashsites like this spam Destiny articles because they are paid to.

Only got to look at CNN's latest "271 shootings this year...... mostly white men." ... then instantly says "In the last 40 years, 44 out of 63 shooters have been white people" ... "Cannot allow trends on coloured people to be posted as this will instantly make it a racist/immigration issue" ...

Ok... what about those 271 shootings CNN? what was the range of "races"? If you can't segregate statistics then why are you putting emphasis on white shooters?

Come to your own conclusions on information, I don't know what's worse, the right or the left anymore. No wonder the political rifts across the western world is growing, one side is force feeding culture cocktail bombs, the other wants segregation and the people in the middle are thinking "There is a healthy mix of both here".

To be fair the Xbox One X is decent for its price range but there is no way I would ever limit a gaming PC build to mid range performance of even the "worlds most powerful console" (until the PS5 launches and we start this charade again with Sony fans) if that even means anything to someone that actually wants powerful hardware.

TC creates and labels a thread "The Xbox One X isn't particularly great even at 500$..." and then goes on to try to tell everyone what that $500 is limited to.

TC clearly didn't think this through very well and had some pretty idiotic counter arguments.

No thinking Xbox one X is not worth your money is one thing, but saying Xbox one X isn't a great value for $500 and then trying to limit the criteria because your alternative doesn't match is a FAIL.

FYI: for the idiots who tried to use "video editing" as an argument on the side of PC against XB1X...that's a PROGRAM!!! lmao, all MS has to do is release a software update and it can be done on XB1X

that desperation argument has dick to do with the value of the HARDWARE which the UHD player is, nice deflection on that argument but this thread was talking about price and value not program services.

If I was young asking something for Xmas or was my first time upgrading from a 360/Ps3 then sure, I'd opt for the $500 Xbox. Judging potential from Forza 7, if your income is limited, it's a good price for what you get.

We are part of the master race. We are supposed to lead people towards quality gaming and not the <60fps garbage that they are getting with consoles. They need to spend more to get the proper gaming experience and it is well worth it.

The videos you used have different GPUs. The top one uses the 6GB variant of the 1060 which is actually as the 3GB variant in the bottom video.

The 6GB version is more powerful and not just a bump in vRAM.

From the articles i read from various developers, seems like everyone is liking what the xbox one x is offering for its price. Plus offering HDMI 2.1 to take advantage of future tv tech in 2018 is a nice touch. Optimisticly looking to see how vrr game mode works.

Then the cool things MS does on the side with cloud computing, the smart downloading of game files. Pretty cool to see MS looking at ways to enhance gaming outside of xbox.

You obviously do not care about quality and that is fine. Not sure why you are even getting an X1X as the regular X1 should suffice.

XB1X has PC textures like for like (Very high setting)

XB1X has high frame rate mode, 4K mode or 4K enhanced modes..

My R9 Fury is faster than the GTX 1060 6GB and can run Tomb Raider in 4K, but you are laughing if you think the 3GB version will handle Tomb Raider at the same setting the XB1X can.

Only game to show a great showing on PC yet is Forza 7 from early slides of it's performance, AMD RX Vega GPU's out stripping Nvidia's 1080Ti by a big margin.

Oh dont forget the fun part.....still 10' away from the tv so the 1080 -> 4k jump is negligible.

Wireless card!... XD, I can't get my PS4 to hold 30Mb/s and I have a 300Mb/s connection.

Next people will say hey the PC needs a monitor and a desk/chair. I would love to know how many console gamers are using 32" 720p TV's... I bet its 90%.

So just because a line connection is better your PC build shouldn't include a wireless card??

Bad, bad logic.

That UHD player is one of the reasons that I'm interested in an XB1X because 4K streaming isn't even on the level of Bluray let alone UHD Bluray disks.

That is very true.

As a projector owner standard Bluray is far superior to even 4K streaming... But for pc gaming its completely irrelevant since even if you have a uhd drive a monitor at 24-34 inches is far from the best cinema experience. Also a £/$15 USB wireless adaptor and the job is done if you dont want wires... My wifes PC with a TP-link USB gets a faster connection than my ps4 which is in the same room and its a £10 dongle.

PC and consoles are not the same thing but for gaming PC wins unless you cant afford one for $800-1K the consoles are a great choice... But they are cheap POS when compared to even mid level pc's in quality and performance.

On PC, you're not always spending $800 + dollars though. Most people upgrade parts so it's incremental spending over a period of time which has a far different effect on your financial lifestyle unlike the incremental spending for an entire console with this new 3 year refresh scheme. For example I just upgraded to a $170 motherboard since the first Xbox 1 was released, which unlike a sudden $500 X1X, this $170 of increment to the latest tech which includes things like 60 amp power chokes or Japan 12k Black Capacitors will be far less prone to failure than any console while also increasing bandwidth between ram, cpu and gpu along with the M.2 socket for the potential of using 32 gbps SSD.

Since an upgrade like this offers a more solid foundation to the foreseeable future, it strengthens the performance potential over console release cycles to continue the incremental upgrade path. Next would be the 8700k CPU which has viability for several years before bottleneck's from future GPU's becomes an actual issue....so when the next Xbox releases, I wouldn't really have to upgrade anything but the only real performance candidate from there at that point would be a new GPU which again would propel performance far beyond whatever console they release. Things like the Case, mouse/kb..etc never actually need to be upgraded and other PC gaming related things would be a rare upgrade.

So of course in the long run by the time i'm dead, I may have spent more money but it's impact differences financially will not have any noticeable backlashes like the difference in monthly payment between an $80k house and a $120k house which isn't enough to deter one's lifestyle but yet you're living a better lifestyle.

PC and consoles are not the same thing but for gaming PC wins unless you cant afford one for $800-1K the consoles are a great choice... But they are cheap POS when compared to even mid level pc's in quality and performance.

On PC, you're not always spending $800 + dollars though. Most people upgrade parts so it's incremental spending over a period of time which has a far different effect on your financial lifestyle unlike the incremental spending for an entire console with this new 3 year refresh scheme. For example I just upgraded to a $170 motherboard since the first Xbox 1 was released, which unlike a sudden $500 X1X, this $170 of increment to the latest tech which includes things like 60 amp power chokes or Japan 12k Black Capacitors will be far less prone to failure than any console while also increasing bandwidth between ram, cpu and gpu along with the M.2 socket for the potential of using 32 gbps SSD.

Since an upgrade like this offers a more solid foundation to the foreseeable future, it strengthens the performance potential over console release cycles to continue the incremental upgrade path. Next would be the 8700k CPU which has viability for several years before bottleneck's from future GPU's becomes an actual issue....so when the next Xbox releases, I wouldn't really have to upgrade anything but the only real performance candidate from there at that point would be a new GPU which again would propel performance far beyond whatever console they release.

Qouted the wrong person. I've been mentioning upgrades on this thread the whole time. Just mentioned the %800 tag because I got tired of going in circles with these people.

Despite all the buzz around 4K, only .79 percent of Steam gamers use a 3840x2160p monitor.
