My PC Vs Xbox One & PS4

[Bittah Wizard]

Hey all just looking for some answers on how my PC will stack up with the newest games. I dont have any new games that have been released for the new gen consoles but will be getting GTAV soon. any feedback is greatly appreciated. p.s i threw this system together without shopping around and was originally going to be an upgrade to an older PC. this was also my very first build.

Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-2500 (6M Cache, 4 Cores @3.3Ghz up to 3.70 GHz)
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 665.2 MHz
Video Card: ZOTAC ZT-61102-10M GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB

It is pretty close the cpu and ram are enough but the 650 ti is a little behind the ps4 if you get something like a gtx 760 then you would be beating the ps4.

thanks for the speedy reply k1ng0d. this is what i figured. how close of a battle do u think it is?. do you think the 650 ti coupled with my cpu beats out the xbox one?. now i know games are more optimized for consoles but without factoring that in and purely based on hardware.

I would say it is extremely close the Xbox ones gpu is about equivalent to a radeon 7790 and the 650ti is just a tiny bit slower. As for the cpu the I5 2500 beats either consoles so you are good there.

Thanks k1ng0d!. I couldn't have asked for a better answer.

The i5 can handle pretty much every gpu up to a 970 pretty nicely and even with a 980 it would still only bottleneck in some games. with an upgrade to the r9 280 or a 960 maybe even a 970 if you have the cash you have one very beastly pc right there which is significantly better the the consoles.

Your welcome I am glad I helped.

On paper yes the 7790 is about the power of the Xbox but they receive so much better optimsation it honestly can perform at around a 760. Look at games like the order 1886 and rise son of rome.

Yes but the op wanted to know what it would be about without the optimization.

no i5 from sandy bridge to haswell bottlenecks any single GPu on the market, a 2500 is more than capable of running a 980.
OP your PC is actually pretty decent, if should be able to play most games on Medium-high Quality, if you want more graphic fidelity then all you need is to upgrade your GPU to something like a 960 which works just fine on most 400-450w Psu and you will be gaming at High-ultra settings at 1080p 60fps, personally i'd stick your PC instead of a Console as they are very close, you also have a wider library of games to choose from, your CPu is also many times faster than the Ps4 and Xbox ones, so games that are CPU bound will play better on your PC regardless of the Gpu difference.

There are some games that it would bottleneck a little bit, I think evolve and dragon age. But really only on cards like the 980 and even then it would be kinda minor. If you can upgrade to a 970 I would do it but maybe save a little for an upgrade for a while.

Hey all and thanks for the input but k1ng0d was right i know that with the optimization of consoles you would need slightly higher specs to run the pc port of the game and i really appreciate the GPU upgrade options / bottleneck limits this was something i was wondering but i don't have any plans to upgrade this year atleest. Thanks again everyone for the amazing feedback.
