A person I know claims Xbox Series X runs at 40k/60 at ultra with Ray-Tracing... Ok first of all a RX 6800 doesn't even do 60 in Fortnite its stuck at about 25-35 and second how come next Gen version of Fortnite also come with clouds? While PC doesn't?!! What kind of dark magic and unholy soul sacrifices have Microsoft & Epic Games done here?!! O3O? 

 

RX 6800 (16,17 TFLOPS) 

Series X (10,24~12 TFLOPS)

 

This is some kind of upscaling trick right?!

He/She just bullshitting you. Did he/she told you which game?

I mean ray tracing is off, they do run at 4k 60 as fortnite is pretty easy to run at lowered settings which the consoles target around medium with far view distance at that res. So basically the settings my vega 56 runs fortnite at is what the consoles run the game at.

"ultra" doesn't really apply to consoles. There aren't any graphics settings, and when there are comparisons, the consoles are always lacking. 

 

But 4k 60 with RT on and some good details? Possible. Don't forget, the consoles have a single set of hardware to optimize for, so you can squeeze every last drop of performance put of them more easily.

OK let's just say you were fully able to copy paste all the settings the XBSX has and apply them to a PC install of Fort ite with RX 6700XT how likely is 4K/60?

It's different this generation, it's pretty hard to tell. Though I doubt the ray tracing performance would hold up because the windows drivers probably need some improvement to get more performance out of RDNA2's architecture and RT performance.

OK but on paper a 6700XT or 2070S should be able to manage a 1920x1080/60fps just fine even on max?

The "general issue" here is the fact that, in spite of consoles and PCs now having very similar hardware, you still can't compare them at all. Skyrim and GTA V wouldn't run on hardware like the PS3 had (7800GTX based GPU, 256MB RAM, 256MB VRAM) yet both run fine. And while the Xbox has always had a Windows kernel at its base, it was never a "real" standard Windows, the hardware on consoles can be much better optimised than what is possible with what you can do on any desktop PC with a standard OS. So what is written on paper about hardware is basically worth much less when comparing consoles with PCs, to the point at which you can't really make useful comparisons at all.

So do not replace GTX 970 with RX 6700XT? Wait for RDNA2 is better?

That wasn't the question, you were just wondering about relatively unspecific benchmark results.

Are you satisfied with the graphical quality and performance level that you GPU gives you? If yes, don't upgrade. If you just want "4K60", you should think about the fact that a resolution and frame rate alone don't make for an enjoyable gaming experience.

The 4K/60 metric is more of a long term plan to make sure the hardware is relevant since I am sure RDNA2 probably will last a whole console generation if I do not go overboard on the graphics side... 1080p ultra early, 1080p high later and 1080p medium if I wait a very long time.

[Benji]

Consoles last much longer in general due to the fact that large parts of optimisation rather come to light once the developers are used to the codes and can more fully use the hardware, while GPUs are replaced in an annual fashion, so basically nothing in terms of "PC hardware" is really future-proof. But if you go for an 3080 or RX 6800 or so you should definitely be safe for quite some time if you don't expect UHD *** FPS at Ultra settings in five years. But basically everything high-end lasts you for multiple years when you're sensible with the settings and resolutions.

No, this would never happen obviously! 

 

Also everything that's on Twitter automatically turns into the undeniable truth forever. 

 

Didn't you know!
