If its actually $499 out the window, I really doubt its true performance of 4K60fps

One Xbox One X is losing $$$. I can build a $1000 PC that someone can sell for $499. Easy.

the 4k/60fps is only confirmed for Forza.
a ton of games are already being reported running at fake 4k at 30fps, so a PC will shit on it if you're looking for 60fps

To be honest, probably not.
Its a really impressive machine both in performance and hardware sourcing. I was expecting this thiby to cost a lot more, but they got the parts for dirt cheap and have put out some actual competition to PC gaming.

Now of course, I'd still personally prefer a PC. A PC can plain and simple do more, I like to play older games, I like just shitposting, I like some PC exclusive games.
But for the first time since the Xbox 360, were seeing pretty fantastic performance for a good price.

But ya know, give it 2 years before the next reboot and by then a 500$ pc will be better in a performance standpoint again.
Feels like the early 90's again.

the pentium used to be 59, so you could have tossed a 1TB HDD there if so.

You know what really gets me ticked off about this sort of marketing?
Consumers who dont know better or actually want the specs advertised on their favorite system.
They get gypped of their money and hopefulness on a product and company, and in return get a half-baked piece of hardware that doesnt even meet up to half its performance. Sure some games will run fine because of close teamwork with the big M, but most of the time, its bad.
There is no way a hardware bundle costing $499 would be able to run games at a baseline 4k60fps, not even real PC hardware can do that reliably.

>sell console at a loss
>charge lods of emone for games
Really X'ed my box

What's so special about the console?

1050 is weak as shit compared to the Xbox one x GPU. if graphics cards where priced right a 480/580 would be nearly the same as a one x GPU and could fit in a $500 budget

Phones and tablets driving up price of SSDs and RAM.
Cryptocoins driving up prices of GPUs.


REEEEEEEEEEE

pcpartpicker.com/list/Rr66f8

I thought it was a 1050ti. You could also have a 570 before all gone shit in a 500€. I was going to build one for a poor friend in fect, but never actually built it.

I really do hope this gets 4k60 because it means that pc hardware that cost around the same will need to perform equal to better otherwise is doa...

Nvidia Volta GV106 will have greater performance than Xkek One Kek for $249

Here, I saved you 30 bucks
pcpartpicker.com/list/84nd7h

>Pascal Refresh will have better performance than console hardware
Ehhh.

You forgot that the console also has a BD drive and a controller with it

>BD drive
Literally why would you need a BD drive on a PC? You should get your games on Steam
> Controller
Use those 30 bucks and buy one

Because its fucking included in the price you mongloid so for it to be a fair comparision you should add it to the PC too

even if it did, actual PC hardware wouldnt change much because of companies trying to keep profit margins, or if hardware manufacturers all collectively pull new shit out their ass to justify gutting prices on current products. But by then, 8k would magically become the new 4k, thus lowering consumer value on the XboneX

Difference with 8k is that if you sit close enough and focus focus focus you can notice 4k but with 8k on a normal setup its literally impossible to notice a difference.

Not even PCMR fags will fall for it

>BD drive
Useless.
>controller
Just buy a buttplug.

>BD drives are useless/only good for games
Hell for $500 you get something that can somewhat do 4k games and is a 4k blu-ray player when 4k blu-ray players are still >$400
Xbox one X is a steal really.
Near impossible to make a PC equivalent with feature parity

Why the fuck would you ever use BDs?

Because most of the world (especially the US) doesn't have the internet connection to support a decent quality 4k stream. Bitrate can be an excess of 50mbps for proper 4k with 10bit color and shit

>stream

Can you run your own non-signed software on that?
If no then how would it be of any use?

not him but its an actual concern for Americans who have ISPs who have a monopoly on their area like Comcast, who give shit speeds and data caps.
Getting a BD for high quality media is an actual alternative to shitty ISP practices (low bandwidth/low data caps)

Fuck consoles. Fuck paying for online. Fuck paying $60 a game. FUCK 15-25millisecond input lag on a controller with 2-3 hour battery life on average. Fuck paying $500 for a gimped rx580 in a non ventilated plastic box. Fuck buying a disc and then still having to download 30-40gb of DRM just to play the game. Fuck console kiddies clinging to their dying platforms populated by autistic shitstain 8y/os that live on a diet of chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks.

If consoles just died off in the next two decades videogames would be astronomically better for the community and developers. The scorpio will do 4k on a handful of games at 30fps on the absolute lowest visual settings, and do 1080p 60fps on medium settings, something my old HD7950 could do now and it's a 5 y/o card.

Do we get bonus money to work with based on how much you'd be spending for paid online over the course of the console's lifetime if not the console game price markup as well?

Here you go, BD drive, keyboard + mice, less than $499, runs shitty racing games at 4K 60fps and everything else at 4K 30fps just like the Xbox One X.

Am I missing anything else?

It gets 50fps on a worse looking forza.

> implying that 8-core bulldozer shit performs any better

Shut up PC-kiddie. We get it, you spent $5000 on your Sup Forums shitposting rig and you're massively assblasted that there's nothing good to play.

Consoles are a grace to the world. They're an optimized computer with one purpose built in mind (gaming), affordable for all, and easy to configure (plug and play, rather than configuring a full general-purpose PC). The Scorpio's price/performance ratio is just at a very sweet spot right now that puts current gaming PCs to shame right now, which is why these "build me a better PC for $499" have been popping up like weeds. Take solace in the fact that PC hardware will still get upgraded over the years if you're sperging. Face it, you hate the Scorpio because of memes and gamer stereotypes.

Here's a non-stereotype: hope you enjoy clunky console ports, Skyrim balloon titty mods, and quality indie titles with SNES graphics.

>I wish I had mods
>or exclusives
It is ok mate, we cannot all be winners.

Is this your idea of a supreme shitposting?
I can almost see your acne ridden fat face all smug while writing that file name.
>ok lad.png
>that'll theach them

>tripfag
Absolutely disgusting

Nice argument agaist the build

>DDR4
Xbox RAM is GDDR5

Yes. DDR4 is better for the CPU.

>$5000 on a PC
>I've spent $1,000 on PC hardware over the past 5 years
>Mfw console kiddies spend $300 on internet use alone over 5 years
>$60 a game
>$60 buys you 10 AAA titles during a steam sale
>$15 steam link
>Play games on your TV from your PC with no input lag and at high/ultra settings
>"Purpose built device"
>Is basically a glorified media streaming PC with a shit-tier proprietary OS that charges for online use
Nice low quality bait faggot

Cooling system?

>If cards were priced right
Back to economics 101, dumbass.

>Shit is not even out yet
>Can you build one?

We'll see after Microsoft can manage that.

There's no GDDR5 compatible with Intel user. Rebate that with the faster CPU on the PC

Let's first see how it performs

Who in the name of fuck wants to stream in fake 4K anyways? Grow the fuck up.

GDDR5 is modified DDR3 while DDR4 is new standard, so basically, Xbone can suck it.

More ram than you need. Xbox One X is 12GB shared memory, a bunch of which will be going towards the GPU. 8GB RAM+ 4GB VRAM is mostly equivalent.

Not sure if the 1050Ti is good enough though, probably not. Throw in a 1060 or similar once the XboneX is actually out though and it'll work fine.

get rx 570 4gb instead of 1050 ti
remove a stick of memory (8gb + 4gb vram is 12)
mouse and keyboard can be ignored if op already has this

So?

Holy fuck some of you motherfuckers think it will output 60fps/4k while looking something else than very sharp blocks. Never disappoint Sup Forums.

>1050ti
You should probably look at something like a 1070.

It's upscaled 1080p@low settings tho

you can always turn down certain graphically intensive settings, while keeping the resolution high.

Forgot the os

CPU already comes with a cooler, GPU too. That's all you need.

With the ridiculous inflation that GPUs have at the moment, nope. Impossible.

With this coin crash, mid range cards are going to be cheap for a little while, So yes you can but don't wait.

Pirated Windows 10 is $0

Add in the price of online, which is $60. Now toss in two games, that would be $120.

This is only slightly more expensive.
pcpartpicker.com/list/v3gQQV

It could be cheaper but GPU prices are pretty high now because of all those miner cunts.

Also the Xbox One X will not be able to run most titles at native 4K.
dsogaming.com/news/project-cars-2-pc-platform-will-be-the-only-one-running-the-game-at-true-4k-resolutions/

Am I allowed to build it at a loss for the retailers?

sure as long as you let the retailers fuck you in the ass with paid online and expensive games

Newly launched console(Xbox X) being equal/beating equally priced PC is nothing new.
When newer hardware is released or prices drop on PC within 6-12months after console launch, you are still stuck with the same console for easily over 3-4 years and PCs gain advantage.
$500 is also around the point when adding few hundred dollars can boost the PC performance way past the consoles.
The bonus with PCs is also the fact that you can use them for more than just entertainment like email and excel just as an example.
While consoles have basic web browsers and stuff like Youtube easily accessible they are bit too clunky without a keyboard and mouse.

Final build again, just to BTFO that Xshit meme:

PC:

> Blu-Ray reader
> 8GB of RAM + 4GB VRAM (Xbox has 12GB of shared RAM)
> Mice + Keyboard (Xbox has a controller)
> Can 4K game and do PC stuff
> Totally Upgradeable
> PC + shipping = $476.5

4K 60fps games 1050ti is able to run:
> Rocket League (High)

xbox live is easily had for $30 a year, and if you buy pc games at release they are $60 as well

nice try kiddo, back to /r/pcmasterrace

u win this time goyim

>no xbox controller
>no OS
>immensely less convenient

Yeah, real winner there.

>he doesn't know about miners
First day on Sup Forums?

> immensely less convenient
ikr, being able to upgrade anytime, using whatever OS you want and being able to develop games is truly immensely less convenient

> no OS
Linux is free. Hackintosh is free, If you want Windows, just get a second hand key for like 15 bucks, pirate it or be a cuck and pay $80.

> no xbox controller
Xbox doesn't come with a keyboard/mice

Not him but only idiodts stream, download a proper encode that isn't bitstarved to hell.

so you're telling me when these parts come to my house, i can take them out of the box and immediately put in a game and start playing? I can just turn it on, sit back on my couch and easily join a party with my friends? No. And not even steam big picture mode and an HDMI cord achieves that.

An Xbox is free if I steal it from walmart. The only OS that's going to give you any sort of game library is windows, and W10 Home is 120.

Not sure what your point is here. The xbox comes with a controller, your build doesnt. Pretty sureyour build isn't capable of wireless networking "out of the box" either.

>I am poor, lazy and stupid
>Piracy and shoplifting are the same
A genuinely pathetic human being, point and laugh at this sack of shit Sup Forums

You're comparing a machine you have to put together and illegitimately get an OS for vs something that's ready to go out of the box and already works. I could put together a shitty 90s mustang that would blow the doors of a new Porsche but why the hell would I want to.

>You steal Windows instead of giving microsoft $120
>Microsoft loses $120

How's third grade treating you?

No you couldn't. Manufacturing cars is immensely harder than putting together a pc, which anyone can do after reading the manual and watching youtube videos, so a maximum of one day of work for a first time builder.
Also
>a 90s mustang that would blow the doors of a new Porsche

Now you're just shitposting.

Furthermore
>why the hell would I want to

You're right, it's better to pay for everything in life to be done for you. I bet you call a plumber when your sink is leaking, and take your bike to the repair shop, you waste of a human brain.

Maybe. Can you use an Xbox One X to shitpost on Sup Forums?

Next?

>nobody pays me 10,000,000 USD for my exclusive shitposts
>I lose 10,000,000 USD

How's preschool treating you?

Yes because I value my time. Get a job and you might understand that more.

>gets caught pirating
>"n-no officer look at my argument on Sup Forums I'm right!!"

Have fun getting raped by Jamal because you think you're smarter than the law.

yes

I'm sorry but unauthorised downloading is not prosecuted here.
We don't have niggers either.
Must suck living in some third world hellhole.

>being shacked up with mudslimes
Nah im good here

Don't have them here either.
Nice projecting though.

>I could put together a shitty 90s mustang
>but why the hell would I want to

how could you be this pleb

>I value my time
>that's why I play games on the Xbox One X™

I can build one for double the price that will last 3 console generations

No, I have a PC. But I'm not so much of an anal sperg that I can see the huge appeal of having something that works out of the box and you don't have to dick with.

Bwahaha consoles haven't been plug and play for a long time. You download system updates and hope those won't brick your consoles. Then you create some retarded gaymur profile. Then you input the game, install, and download the game updates. Then you have to login to the fucking game.

If consoles worked like they used to I'd be on your side mr. shit/shillposter. But they don't.

Also legal Windows 10 can be bought for 5$.

People who value their time don't shitpost on Sup Forums or play videogames but work, study, and socialise. I also know plenty of hardworking people with jobs, hobbies, children, and home businesses on top of that, that still do shit like fix stuff around their house/car by themselves. When you're capable of performing a service by yourself, you can see how much cash it saves you.

Not every service is worth the time. Why waste my time and energy changing my oil when I can get it done for 30-40 bucks?

Filtered :^)

Nope, even on release you can get games on sites for G2A for much cheaper.

If all you are looking for is flat out games.. then Yeah 499 is going to be a better deal.

But...

If you want to invest your money in a device that can multitask, capable of easy internet browsing, playing a wider manner of games (other than stupid xbox / ps exclusives), emulators, strategy, MMORPG, etc. as well as having a device capable of productivity (typing up documents, research, etc.) then spend more and buy a pc..

I used to be all about console when I was a kid and lived in an area with shit internet, but I got fed up as fuck with the Disk Read Error PS2, and the RROD X360.. I can easily fix a pc, I can upgrade a pc, I don't have to worry about a pc overheating, I can easily upgrade the cooling system on my pc, its not being scrunched down to a tiny box that could have been better improved if some designer wasn't being told to make it small. Oh yeah and how about not having a dvd drive that has a circuit board programmed to the logic board COMPLETELY UNNECESSARILY other than to make it a pain in the ass to work on


Seriously other than someone with shit / no internet, or just simply not knowing better, I don't see a reason to have a modern gaming console when (although for more money) you can have something that can do so much more. Fuck and you can even hook it into a TV and use a controller if you please..

Oh yeah GREAT POINT!!!!

Games on console are so much more money too over going PC, Steam, and kinguin and stuff, buying keys for next to nothing, otherwise your buying full retail which seems to keep going up and up and up, or you can buy used from gamestop and save yourself 5 bucks...

>no xbox controller
Yeah, it uses a keyboard and mouse, a mans controller. Multiple buttons, backlit availability, certain keyboards have macro / turbo capability. The mouse can move in any direction your analog stick can while giving you several buttons at your disposal depending on the mouse you choose including again... macros, and turbo options. It's no coincidence they typically don't pair pc and console players together. PC typically dominates as we have better ability to move, aim, and perform several actions at once. Otherwise if you prefer controller, you can buy a usb dongle on ebay for around 10-15 bucks.

>no OS
Choose what you want. almost whatever modern OS you pick (Win 7,8,8.1,10,linux,steamos, etc.) is going to have more capability than an xboner. Linux will be free to download, or buy a secondhand key for next to nothing.

>immensely less convenient
In what way? You can hook a computer up to a television no problem. anything modern will have an HDMI cable option. Same as a console. Also you can use a wireless keyboard / mouse, or if you plan on using an xbox controller, then get a media keyboard... they are lightweight, have a trackpad built right in such as the Logitech K400 or K400 plus.. It's 20 bucks, and is very convenient for a television
