Just upgraded to a Ryzen 2400G & am moving away from console gaming since Microshaft wanted £188 for another recon Xbox X after breaking twice in 13months.

While I'm impressed with the 2400G APU performance at 1080p, it won't hack 4k.
Does anyone know the cheapest card I can get to equal or better a Xbox X?

I was thinking a Radeon 590?

Thanks guys

What is your budget? Do you have had paired the Xbox X with Freesync monitor?
 
Under £200 budget you'd want a 1070 or 980 Ti minimum.

I still stand by the 980 Ti get it clocked up there and till match a stock 1070 Ti. Drop settings to high and it should do you

Don't buy the 590 because an RX590 =RX580 once you OC the 580

How much can you spend? In order of best in price category:

£380 = 5700 XT
£330 = 5700
£249 =Vega 56. Then learn how to undervolt
£170 = RX 580

If playing @4k you probably want to play at medium or lower settings if going below a Vega 56. Obviously with a 580 you'd be playing at medium settings @4k which should match a ps4. Vega 56 or 5700 should offer a similar capability to the PS5
 
XBX GPU is very similar to an RX580 (plus 10% more Compute Units, but 10-15% lower clock speed).

Though unfortunately consoles tend to squeeze out noticeably more efficiency.
 
Playing on a 4k HDR TV with a joypad where it will also double as a HTPC & office pc on a separately wired hdmi 1080p monitor.
Looking around £200

Look given that you got used to play 4K HDR gaming, and you are on that tight budget, wait for the AMD 5600 or buy a 5700.
You can lower the graphics to 3200x1800 + RIS and upscale to 4K. More likely it would look better than the Xbox One X also :D
So wait 1 month for the AIB cards to come out, except if you have mITX build, where you need the blower. :D

Do they or do they just tone down settings that most would struggle to see the difference with anyway? If you're willing to tinker with moving a few sliders below ultra you often get far better performance on lesser cards and struggle to notice the difference.

Do yourself a favour and splash £260 for this:

Cool quite and much better performance at 4k. I wouldn't want to play a 580/590/1060/1660 at 4k but if you do get the 580 and play at medium settings.

Otherwise you'll be gaming on the 2400G while you wait - I did the same recently and at 1080p it was really weak and I didn't play newer titles.

That's true (I'm anti- "Ultra" myself) but there's something extra to be gained from lower overhead OS and programmers spending months optimising the game/engine for a handful of fixed-spec machines.
 
I share your pain in regards to the Xbox X being unreliable. I'm on my third and had to replace the optical drive myself as it's now out of warranty, they wanted £188 to fix it as well IIRC.

Yeah similar here. I ended up paying a local repair shop to re-float the SOC for £60.
Loads of games & kinect but I stopped my Gold payments & got a PS4pro with VR -much better games!
Selling all Xbox stuff now but will have a PC for their games.
 
If you want an identicle experience then it has been tested to be roughly a gtx 1060.


However as stated a vega 56 8gb will give you by far the best bang for buck on a budget.

However 1060 cannot do HDR without severe performance hit. Similarly even GTX1080Ti gets big hit.
One of the reasons moved to Vega 64 from 1080Ti was this.

There are a number of videos comparing hdr on and off and there is no performance differences or extremely minimal. Talking 1-2fps drop on some games. Can't say i've ever noticed any performance drops using hdr even with a 1080Ti.

1060 i havent tried so i am unsure on that one though.
 
A Vega looks promising as I want to get away from Nvidia & their faulty drivers not remembering the desktop gamma in Windows or Linux (there's a working fix for Linux).
HDR gaming is very important for me.
See how much I get for the Xbox stuff.
 
HDR on PC is not a good experience, if that is your primary focus stick with a console, it just works.

Sofa gaming is 4k needed? how big is your screen, how close do you sit?
