So, it really was a victory for PC. A lower spec, cheaply built 1070 held its own in the ring with the Series X
What I don't get is people do these videos and never add in the price that you are forced to pay the Xbox/ps5 subscription's just to play online games. At a monthly to yearly payment.
So in the end that's a win again of the PC Master Race.
For real though, you account for only the buying price while a console player first of all, would need a PC anyway to do stuff, prices of games on console are way higher, and finally there's the subscription to pay online. So while you pay your console 500$ today, at the end of the generation when the new one will come out, your bill will be closer to 1300-1500$ (assuming you play more than a single game per year, if that's not the case, a console would be worth it indeed).
So yeah, not really fair comparison.
I don't know, consoles and pcs are two different things, a console can't really do anything besides streaming and gaming, however my pc can do both, and surf the web easily, writing essays, video edit, render, the pc is just so much more versatile
Thought consoles are sold at a lose so that they can capture an audience and recoup their loses via increased cost in games
Don't forget about the $60 a year for Xbox live or Playstation
Xbox tearing is the fault of your TV and not the Xbox you guys should know this. Buying a higher quality TV will fix this as it'll support the differing framerates
Idk why but I absolutely hate consoles
You forgot about the included 2.1 hdmi cable with the series x
I recently was shocked to see that I can run the last two Forza games in 4k with my 6year old, heavily used GTX 970. These cards are full of suprises.
I just got a linus honey ad and it reminded me of the first time I got introduced to him. Which was on a honey ad.
Wow my 1070 is next gen
In the last comparison of Doom Eternal, when he is comparing how it looks, the lighting through the fog in the background is far better on PC. There were shafts of light coming through the grates.
Linus – "were building a gaming rig for 500$ to beat the consoles!"
Me – "not in this economy you're not 😂"
to be fair the xbnox is not 500$. you dont really own it. you have to buy subscription, so its a rented device with 500$ downpayment and repairs are on you
that said, currently its the best hardwaredeal. even tough we should consider the xbox at 1400$ for 5 years usage.
but even at that price you gonna be on a similar price level on pc, just you need to buy those games. but ofc pc has also other usage
You should do this again next year to see if you can do it with newer technology (that would be cheaper by that point)
What tv is he using in the video? Thank!
They are using adaptive resolution scaling in Doom Eternal. You can see the percentage right next to the resolution there. That's why it's locked at 60 FPS because as soon as it goes below 60 FPS you lower the resolution until it gets above 60. It's not actual 4K what the fuck how could they miss this. Holy shit
Wait so his sponser is illegal
The console itself seems well priced for it's power. BUT… what happened once you include about 5-6 games for it into the cost? Or however many games you're expecting to buy.
Well, not a single mention of dynamic resolution scaling on Doom Eternal. Both PC and XBOX do resolution scaling. There is no performance tracker on XBOX apparently, so you cant tell what is the percentage. Thus it makes 0 sense to compare PC and XBOX there apart from basic impressions, unless it drops to 50%. Yes, basic impressions are ok, but… meh. As more modern games use RS, the less easily comparable theyd be on different platforms.
I like PC because I like paying for my internet only once. $60 A year, or $120 when Microsoft decides to push it through is a lot. Never mind the fact that games are more expensive as well.

Doom eternal isn't even enhanced on the new consoles!
game devs: whining about how our pc can't play their game because our pc is trash
doom eternal and bethesda in general: if it can run paint, it can play games
seriously though,why aren't devs making their games EXTREMELY well optimized?
PCs are only gonna beat these new consoles for price if ALL the parts are second hand for great prices
can it run cyberpunk though
linus sex tips doesnt realize it, but he makes everyones quarantine better
Linus: roasts 1070
me wtih 1050: sad poor noises
He forgot the $200 to buy the operating system 😂
You are using a keyboard and mouse to setup so you have to count that too, as well as the O/S for a true cost. Oh not sure about this but my sons Xbox also came with and ultra HDMI cable too.
Imagine life with no mods ewwwww
What about that windows license? Just not going to count that in the price?
