      Pay to play online, barely any sales on games and you need to slap tax on top. Honestly, a used 6600 or 6700 XT with a cheap B150m and either a QTJ2 from China or those 11th gen soldered CPUs and some 16GB of RAM is easily reproducible and will land you around the $500 mark, giving you all advantages of a PC with 100% better performance than the Series X.
      That being said, series S compared to a $250 gaming PC, even considering pay to play, is really good value across the board.

    The biggest advantage to using a PC as a makeshift game console is that Microsoft can't run in and take away your emulators, then make you pay twenty dollars to get them back, except now they're difficult to access and have a bland, off-putting menu.

  • @tiromandal6399
    @tiromandal6399 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For those complaining or thinking it's "not fair" that some of the parts were used, here's something to blow your mind - Those consoles cost significantly more that $500 as Sony and Microsoft sale them at a "loss" but not really as those sweet sweet overpriced games and in Sony's case those sweet exclusives make them much much more than $500 per consoles, any "how much" depends on how many games you buy. Which is completely opposite for PC. Not only you can get an orgasmic deal in the used market (only for people that apply more than 0.1% of their brain) but if you want you can play any game without ever paying a dime! And I'm not even talking about the productivity part of the PC. So yea PC is not only superior in performance but also a ton more economic! Btw I forgot to mention the price increase for consoles.
    One can now cherrypick the "price increase" part of my comment while ignoring everything else.

    The best part about the PC is that you can incrementally upgrade it every year instead of once every 3 or 4 years, it spreads cost allowing you to spend a little more on components and means you always stay up to date for the latest games. Upgrading cooling can also give you some headroom for overclocking which can extend the life of your cpu and gpu. And its versatile, can use it for everything from video editing to work to gaming. I build my first PC in 2016 and since then I have slowly upgraded every component at least once. I happen to have the same system you have here (except bigger and hence cooler) and it crushes modern titles.

    My PC is a 3060 Ti with an i7 11k CPU and playing the same games on PC/Series X - my PC gets stomped in load times and frame rates. Some games are nearly unplayable on PC compared to the Series X version. I think the problem is you picked games that were developed for the previous generation, so they're not taking advantage of new shaders/post processing/etc. The games I've played on both are Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, Wo Long, and Wild Hearts.

    That's actually a really powerful gaming rig for the price. The 3060TI for that price was a steal although prices have been coming down a lot from where they were past few years. I bought my series X a year ago there's no way I could have got a 3060TI for $200. Does the budget include a controller though?

    Building a comparable PC to a Series X or a PS5 will typically always cost more. But people also tend to forget you are also getting a PC! Much better for web browsing, school work, and many other things other than just gaming. Much more value per dollar.

      Most console games have dynamic resolution to keep 60fps stable, even series X does not run all games at 4k60fps at all times, it just compensates with that feature turned on. Some console ports to PC recently are starting to have that as well, but tbh I much prefer just turning graphics options down a bit and achieve the same, which usually gives better perceived picture quality. A 3060ti can definitely get to 4k60fps for most console ported games, but for some of the most taxing and most recent PC games it will not be able to do without turning down graphics.
      I think the need for high end GPU is highly overrated and mostly a marketing ploy to get gamers to overspend on high end flagships. Unless you are a competitive gamer who requires high refresh rate up to like 240 or even higher to gain competitive advantage, nobody needs the latest gen flagship. You can do pretty well with a latest gen mid range or last gen flagship, or even flagship from two gens ago (like a 2080ti), and you'll run most games comfortably at ~100fps with all settings turned to max.

    Not sure, but I think the reason that your GPU temps are a bit high is because of the airflow. The GPU uses a blower-style cooler, which means it blows all the air out the back of the gpu rather than blowing hot air everywhere. I noticed that there is a giant cable mess right behind the GPU, so what you should probably do is move those cables somehow.
