I think both the Series X & PS5 could be another nail in the coffin for PC gaming, top line GPU prices are ridiculous now even the mid range cards are getting expensive.
I have a 55" 4K Samsung TV with HDR10+ & 4K games on the One X look superb on it, it would cost me best part of £2000+ to build a PC with a decent 4K monitor to have games looking this good.

So the Series X at £599 is a day one buy for me.

It is more than a console to build a pc, but not 2000 pounds lol - to match a one x all you need is a cheap quad core cpu and a rx580, 8gb ram. The entire thing would be 500 pounds or less and you plug it into your tv. It will run games at 4k30 just like the one x

It's a great strategy to offer two models.

I'm willing to pay almost any price just to have the best console possible, but people playing at 1080p, or those with a tight budget will still be able to play the same games for far less money.

The RX580 has half the power of the rumoured XBox Series X GPU, and that's ignoring that the Series X will have 12-16GB RAM and double the amount of CPU cores.

You have put together literally half of a series X in every way, and claim that it will match the performance, and that's before you factor the efficiencies of coding to the metal and on a fixed platform. You're living in la la land.

The post he was replying to was saying it would cost £2000 for a pc to get the same performance of the One X not the Series X. He was saying the 580 would get the same results for less than stated against than the current generation.

Ah I misunderstood. Thanks for the correction and my apologies @Grim5

12 GCN Tflops = 9 RDNA or something like that. Still on track for 2x the power of Xbox One X which is what MS have stated. Only gaming press are extrapolating this to mean other things.

12 tflops = 12 tflops

tflops =/= gaming performance!

Double the power is a debatable, because if you e.g. include VRS then that's a very low goal to have. Still, this is probably closer to 50CUs than 40 so it's still gonna shake things up. If it's just a 5700XT + RT/VRS that would be kinda disappointing, personally.

I dont see why that would be dissapointing. Your expectations from a $500 box is extraordinary
