Consoles are mass produced and they cut costs that way. Also they aren't general purpose so they can be optimised for very specific gaming thingies. Consoles will struggle at most basic things PC can do and PCs will behave less impressively than consoles for a few things(modern games) that they are optimized for.
Also, my opinion is that you genuinely just got scammed if your pc can't do that at this price. My 5year old build cost slightly less than 400 and can run GTA 5 on ultra @1080p with 45-55 fps
I'm sure something will be found after the console gets outdated, but yeah, I get it they went hard-core on the security measures and that's probably holding the water.
huh. im actually interested in consoles now. is it worth it bros? im a neet and saving up for a gaming pc seems a year out of reach. i have some shit i can sell for a series s.
If you're only interested in 'mainstream' releases with no proper modding capabilities and don't want to do anything else besides gaming, go for it. But trust me, having a PC is simply worth it, even a cheap one. There are plenty of great games that don't require powerful hardware and you can emulate old games too, if you are strictly into gaming (although if that's the case, >>>Ganker is the place for you) if you're not limited to gaming, there' no reason not to buy a pc though, it will be the best decision you ever make
Have you tried rendering the game at 540p and upscaling, and setting ray tracing to the absolute minimum? Because that's what the SeS is doing. It's not rendering anything at 4k, not even the most basic game.
Maybe 1,5x because it's a pain to get laptop hardware outside of a laptop and there is no company subsidizing it.

Here's your 1080p gayming machine for 350 bucks that still needs 16gb ram and 1tb ssd. (+100 bucks)
My $500 laptop with a 3050ti was usually nearly 2x the performance compared to the series s in vidya gaymes. Sounds like you got ripped off spending $700 on a pc with significantly less than ~1070 performance
>$500 laptop with a 3050ti
Not really a thing unless it was a crazy deal or refurbished. They cost about 700-ish bucks. Ironically as much as OPs machine still.
If you want a computer that solely runs video games, then sure go ahead and get the console. If you want a computer than can do video processing, image processing, audio processing, AI processing, or really anything above and beyond what a chromebook can do, may as well go for a PC that can do gaming as well as that other stuff.
what weird settings, since when did people care about resolution more than literally anything else?
i'll turn the resolution down to avoid low settings any day
idk, i'll take like 900p with nicer lighting and shadows and stuff over 1440p with shit lighting and no shadows
i'll also take lower resolution to get a higher framerate, frick 30 fps, it isn't 1995 anymore
Lightning makes a pretty big difference too but rarely changes too much with settings unless it's an ancient game. Nicer shadows are kinda overrated IMO, as is FPS. I rather have max details and constant 25fps than low settings with 120.
Dirty tricks.
HOOOW THOUGH. my 700$ pc cant run it on max settings at 1080p. and this 300$ console can run it raytraced at 4k HOW
>raytraced
Only partially.
>at 4k
Probably upscaled from 1080 or even 720 native.
>pc cant run it on max settings at 1080p
neither can the xbox
>300$ console can run it raytraced at 4K
No it can't.
>ray tracked

How's piracy on it?
You can't pirate on xbox. Even the xbox one is still not cracked.
That's lame. Proof that no one wants it. Dead device.
>Proof that no one wants it. Dead device
you do not understand how much engineering went into making sure it cannot be cracked

watch the video, it treats games like a tails os boot stick pretty much. Even if you manage to break encryption, it has a different key on next boot
Just as well, there’s nothing to play on Xbox either.

I wouldn't recommend the series s. It pretty much struggles at every game except games like fortnite. Get a used 5600 with a used 6700XT or 6800
5600x?
Ryzen 5 5600x or you can overclock the 5600 to make it a 5600x
wheres a good place to buy used stuff like you said? i dont even have a tower, just a laptop.
Don't know where do you live. If you live in USA craigslist or ebay, if you live in germany kleinanziegen
do you think i'd get replies if i asked krauts on there to ship to poorland?
i've got the xsex, it's great. genuinely wouldn't play games as much as i do if I had a gaming pc.

Dlss
It's rendering at 720p
This plus gamepass are probably the most value in gaming you can get now and probably ever.
It really is an impressive little machine, probably the best hardware for money ratio that you can buy
its able ot play starfield at 30fps for 300$ while my 700$ pc can barely run it on medium settings. consolechads won
>its able ot play starfield at 30fps
No it isn't. And this pic is from a fricking Series X.
gta 5 on the 360 ran on 512 mb of ram and yet devolpers today still cant make a game that looks better on hardware thats 2x more powerful
starfield is a garbage game anyways
Too bad it's crippled by completely useless OS.
S can't even do the dashboard at 4k. it does 1440p. most games are 1440p or below and often use FSR upscaling.
i cant run gta max settings on 1080p with my 700$ computer. yet this 300$ console can
>i cant run gta max settings on 1080p with my 700$ computer
stop lying microshit shill, gta 5 is not a demanding game at all
try turning msaa up and entering online for me. most mid tier graphics cards cost more than a xbox seris s
Isn't the equivalent of console settings High with some basic AA, most laptops should be able to play it fine in 1080p
and still 2x more expensive
Maybe 1,5x because it's a pain to get laptop hardware outside of a laptop and there is no company subsidizing it.

Amazon warehouse
cool you and they boys robbed a warehouse?
GTA 5 is a fricking 10 year old game.
My
>GTX970
Can play it on high settings.
updated over time. its been updated over time online is much harder to run than story mode

i only play story mode anyways. I barely play online.

GTA 5 can be played on a ps3 at 1080p though
720p with 25ish fps and low settings aside of textures*
>at 4k
But the native resolution is 1440p and a lot of settings are set to medium/low.
what weird settings, since when did people care about resolution more than literally anything else?
i'll turn the resolution down to avoid low settings any day
Resolution makes everything way sharper, so you can skip on AA. It's about as important as textures. The rest is just bonus.
idk, i'll take like 900p with nicer lighting and shadows and stuff over 1440p with shit lighting and no shadows
i'll also take lower resolution to get a higher framerate, frick 30 fps, it isn't 1995 anymore
Lightning makes a pretty big difference too but rarely changes too much with settings unless it's an ancient game. Nicer shadows are kinda overrated IMO, as is FPS. I rather have max details and constant 25fps than low settings with 120.
50fps is as low as i like to go
i DO NOT accept fake pixels
the game runs at 1226p and the graphics card interpolates the other pixels to make it look "real"
singular hardware allowing optimizations for it rather than a general portable range like with pc games.
>$80 games
>$10 subscription minimum
shyggy
$700 ain't no gaming PC.
It's enough to at least get better performance than 30 fps
You spent your money unwisely
Well you're not talking about the Series S.
You have to pay for games on PS5
Games are free on PC
Almost everything gets DRM'd and you have to pray for some deranged troony to crack it these days.
