Xbox One X Performance Is Great, But Doesn’t Compare to “Ninja PCs”- Ethan Carter Dev

The Xbox One X is the most powerful console ever made- Microsoft's overhauled Xbox One system beefs up its GPU and memory capacity substantially, while also iterating on its CPU functionality a bit. The end result of this is a system that can churn out some fairly substantially impressive visuals.

No $hit

Real title: xbox X performance is great for a console. The rest is clickbait

[mcstorm]

I find this kind of articles funny. Well all know PCs are more powerful they always have been and will be. I don't remember anything like this when the ps4 pro was announced or even the original one and ps4.

People need to give things like this a rest.

PCs are more powerful
Xbox one x is the most powerful home console you can buy at this moment in time and the ps4 pro is the most powerful vr comparable console you can buy at the moment.
The switch is the most powerful hybrid console you can buy at the moment.

This all there is to it.

[kevnb]

its similar to any other near launch console from sony or microsoft, the true weakness is that you cant upgrade.

[zb1ftw777]

Untrue.

The 360 and ps3 had near PC performance on release but not the one or pro.

[kevnb]

all those consoles did, the 360 actually destroyed most pcs when it came out. The pro is close to a 1060, the x is close to a 1070, the one is close to a 7850 and the ps4 a 7870 (not bad for 2013). The cpu holds things back, but remember on a console there is much less overhead on the cpu for gaming and if devs put in the time and publishers put in the money they can over come those limitations on consoles.

[LP-Eleven]

Of course it doesn't.

[Kumakai]

No sh*t. And a $12,000 Toyota Corolla runs great but isn’t as fast as a $65,000 bmw m3. That’s why things have different prices.

[kevnb]

the price difference is that large though, well it normally wouldnt be if there wasnt so many miners.

[WilliamSheridan]

So wait, it'll cost another 150$ or so to match the performance of X, and that's not a big price gap. But at the same time, X being 100$ more than the Pro and outperforming it is a huge gap and ridiculous?

Move the goal posts much?

[kevnb]

Did you read the original comment, it’s not 5-6 times more for a good pc.

[rainslacker]

I beg to differ. If you drop both off a cliff, their relative velocity will be roughly equal while in a vacuum, thus negating any price difference.:)

[TheCommentator]

Find me a cliff that exists in a vacuum though!

[rainslacker]

Cant expect me to do everything. Google it!!!!:)

[zb1ftw777]

It's also the tenth of the price of Nina PC's.

[Razzer]

lol.....a $5000 PC? Hell, you can get better performance than X buying a pre-built $1000 PC

[spicelicka]

Which is still double the price of an X loll.

[Razzer]

Sure. There are definite reasons why someone would rather pay $1000 for the PC just as there are reasons to pay for the $500 or less for a console. My point is just to pull the price point back out of La La Land where zb1ftw777 lives.

[Protagonist]

one can get better performance for only double the price?? wooow... brb im getting one of those right now!!

[zb1ftw777]

The processor in the xb1x is also the most powerful out of all the console including the pro for all you naysayers.

[paintedgamer1984]

Thats means nothing when the much cheaper and weaker ninswitch and base ps4 outsell it and have more compelling software in 2017 and 2018.

[Gaming4Life1981]

That has nothing to do with what he is saying though lol.

[Razzer]

And?

[livedeht]

i think your mistaken, the processors (gpu/cpu) in both the "X" and Pro are mostly the same, however the "X" runs at a higher clockrate and the pro has more ROPs.

[jmc8888]

That processor is still getting circles run around it from an i7 920 from 2008. A processor that cost $229 when launched back in 2008.

X1X performs good enough for what it is, if you are comfortable with 30FPS, but if you want rock solid 60-200, you need a better CPU. Of course the numbers are also dependent on what resolution.

That's why a PC with a similar powered GPU, but a modern CPU is running the same games 60-120 FPS instead of 25-60.

There's tons of games that could run around 40 but they lock it down to 30, but on PC you are averaging around 90 and often with higher IQ settings.

Or for 4k games that are 1440-1620-1800 and locked to 30FPS on X1X, yet the PC can do 50-90 FPS at actual 4k, depending on title.

Make no mistake, the X1X for all that it brings to the table, left a lot of potential power off it because of the CPU.

To some 30 FPS is fine, for others, they greatly prefer 60-200 FPS.

[Nybz]

Why 👏 are 👏 people 👏 still 👏 comparing 👏 consoles 👏 to 👏 PC's 👏 in 👏 the 👏 year 👏 2018

[madforaday]

They generate money, it is simple. How many articles did we see about resolution and FPS two generation and more ago?

The media literally tries to separate the gamers (because it is easy to, just look at every comment in one of these articles) to generate money for themselves and we let them every time. You will have 3 different type of people in these articles. One type likes product A, the other likes product B and the 3rd plays neutral. They are using our insecurities to attack one another even though we ALL love gaming.

[Nybz]

Very, very true. They treat gamers like cattle producing a product, and that's conflict which generates ad rev. Kinda makes me sick tbh.

[madforaday]

It makes me sick as well, if you think about it, before the internet, if someone had a different console than you, you wanted to become friends so you can play their console at their house. It shows gamers into a bad light, and that is something I don't like either.

[rainslacker]

Because Gamingbolt knows no other way to generate clicks for their website. Notice how most of these comparisons are in their articles?

[Nybz]

lmao destroyed. I think you're 100% correct.[

[FlyingFoxy]

Tbf now is not a good time to be comparing base cost of console to PC, what with mining and shortages causing GPU prices to rise along with RAM costs.. Not a good time.

The GPU in the 1x is almost equal or a bit less powerful than the midrange GTX 1060 i think, judging from test videos anyway. Good for a console, but of course a 1070/1080/1080Ti would wipe the floor with it.

[paintedgamer1984]

Cyborg:

True, but even at 399 the xb1x wouldnt fly of the shelves.

So many xbox podcasts were claiming it was going to sell out and be the top selling console from here on out. The x really needed to be 399 at launch and 349 the next fall. Im hoping it sees pricedrops as fast as the xb1s so i can pick one up. Im just not willing to spend more than 349.

[Eldyraen]

I’m happy with my X which is all that really matters to me in the end.

Plus i don’t have any interest in upgrading my gpu anytime soon (980ti still). I’ll likely not have a reason to until around when next gen consoles get revealed (1100 gtx, didn’t want a 1000 series) and then it’s going to be a tougher choice I expect (>60fps really worth it to me for prices then, especially depending on crypto effect still and power of PS5/One2).

[TheColbertinator]

The X has graced us all and is on track to becoming the best selling console ever thanks to Lord Phil

[aConIsDemocracy]

Why do people keep coming out with the obvious? We know. We're not thicko's. :(

[hamzilla]

The Admin of this site needs to do his/her work better for letting stupid stuff like this making it to be seen... SMFH....

[subtenko]

Hey Ethan Carter Dev next can you tell us which color controller is the best ?

[rainslacker]

The black on the Xbox One controller is great, but it doesn't compare to the black of the hair on that mole on my back.

I notice this dev has some strange comparisons when he talks about stuff.

[Destiny1080]

when you see pub-g running at 4fps, you know there's something seriously wrong

[PFFT]

Crazy right??? Now imagine how bad it would run on the Pro. If we are getting 4fps on the XB1X on the pro it would be like 1.5 maybe even 2fps if you are lucky.

[RadarRider]

Coming up next: Death, leading killer in America.

[3-4-5]

* One thing helping the XB1X slightly is that PC GPU's have risen in price by $400-1,000 since September 2017.

What would have cost $1,600 to build a PC now costs $2,200-$2,300 in some cases.

Best bet is actually pre-builds form places like ibuypower where you can still get what you need for maybe $2,000 and save $300.

People don't want to do that....some might grab an XB1X instead....obviously more PC game focused gamers would just save money if possible and get a PC anyways.

[gamer7804]

yah cause those ninja pcs can bend themselves in the wind!

[Pantz]

Most PC games still can't even do HDR.

[timotim]

X is probably the best piece of console hardware to come out in a long time. You know it's a beast when they have to result to comparing it to a PC that cost at least 3 times it's price point haha.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Ummm...duh?

[Belinker300]

1440p for Metal Gear Survive.What do Xbox fanboys think of their 'True 4k' beast now?

[inxine]

that guy... just shut up lol.

[B1uBurneR]

I'll rather buy a great console over a great pc. A great PC doesn't always equal a greater experience. In these cases the pc just becomes a greater cost & lost.

[MrZweistein]

Gamingbolt should be banned. Always those clickbait articles with milking a short Q&A with devs to death.

[doos_vd_kak]

How many of these articles do we need? Seriously? It's the same regurgitated crap from gaming bolt week in week out

I don't need a dev to tell me how strong the xbox one is, nor do I care, because we ALREADY know how powerful it is.
