Forums - Gaming Discussion - Digital Foundry: Witcher 3 Face-Off

Finally, a straight to the point comparison thread with no BS, dynamic scaling and not having to underline and bold every little positive thing about the X1 sku to make it sound better than it actually is.

This one is interesting. 750ti/i3 4130 PC is about same price as xbox one  but no online fees and way cheaper games. 

Why do people still buy these consoles? They are way more expensive then an equal pc in the long run and still can do less. 


PS4  and XB1 runs at a combination of medium and High settings, your i3 4130 is a lot slower than the above cenchmarked i5 4670, so it's safe to say it will have inferior performance than the PS4 and is more expensive as well. Perhaps in two years time you will be able to buy a PC that gets close to a PS4's performance for the same money, but today no you can't

Yeah me too.  I am constantly changing between my ps4 and ps3 and although I can see the difference, it doesn't bother me at all.  If I put a 480p game on my new TV, that's when my eyes start screaming for help.

I must have a high tolerance, I'm playing through Skyward Sword again on Wii, and the 480p res doesn't really bother me. Yeah, it's blurry and pixelated, but after a while I get used to it and stop noticing, haha.

Maybe I need to try forcing myself until I get use to it.

You can get alienware Alpha for 450$ on amazon. Thats just 50§ more then ps4.

 

 

I may can get a ps4 for about 350€ in sales.

But in a 3 years usage ill pay 350€ (ps4) + 3x50€(PSN) and its 500€ too.

And i pay 20-30€ more for each game. I have alot less games. I cant decide on myself between resolution, graphic quality and fps. No mods. I cant use youtube and co as good as on pc. Hell i cant even really use this forum on a console right?

You just gotta find a game you love enough to suffer for. ;)

To bring it back Witcher 3, I doubt many Xbox One players are overl bothered by playing it in 900p. By now you'd think they've either accepted that it's the standard for the console, or moved to PS4/PC.

The game is GPU locked. The i3 wont make a huge difference. I play the game fine on a two-threaded pentium at 4.5 Ghz with a 5 fps drop from my new i5 4690k same clockspeed.

I will do that .  Going back to xbox, I have two games that are 900p and for me they look as good as a 1080p game so if I was a xbox fan, I shouldn't be bothered for the resolution as long as the game runs stable.
