I know that i3 4130 + gtx 750 ti is better then ps4 but will r7 370 with athlon x4 860k performe(in FPS) better or worse then i3 4130 + gtx 750 ti?
And how better will i3 4170 perform(in FPS) than athlon x4 860k both with r7 370?
I think i am right when i say that athlon x4 860k + r7 370 is better then ps4 or I am wrong?
Sorry for bad English.
Thanks!
 
You can't compare the performance of a PC to the performance of a console. Even though it's the same game, the code for each is completely different. It's like asking which performs better? A Formula 1 race car in rush hour traffic or a chevy pickup at Monaco Speedway.

Pretty much this.

In theory, a 4core CPU and a dedicated GPU would perform better than the PS4 spec with all else being equal, but they're not equal.

For what the PS4 (and most other consoles) are, they're pretty good. Remember, size, design & mass production (and bulk buying of components) is a big factor for consoles.

Could get more performance, sure - at a premium, either dollar or space.
Could you get more in the same size case & sleek look, no
Could you get the same performance for the same price & same size....no.

To get the same or better performance, would be at a compromise. It would likely cost you more, and would result in a much bigger footprint. For example, look at this 'console' sized case from SilverStone:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163288&cm_re=rvz02-_-11-163-288-_-Product
It's a $100 case. To find the PSU & GPU alone (as you need smaller versions) drives the price up.

What does a PS4 cost? less than $400? That would get you a case, a PSU and maybe a GPU in the same kind of form-factor.......and likely wouldn't perform as well.



I think technically the GPU in a PS4 is a HD 7870 (so roughly a R9 270X) which beats out an R7 370.
That being said, there are other factors. Would you be comparing the two on a TV via HDMI? In that case, image from a PS4 would likely beat out the R7 370.

Various factors though. 1080p? 4k? Different coding for console vs desktop etc



Sorry, wasn't claiming you did. Was just pointing out the PS4, for what it is, works very well for it's pricepoint.
 
The point was that i want to know other things more then pc vs consol thing i just want to have better experience then on consols and i watch video(digital foundry to be precise) where i3 4170 + gtx 750ti is better then ps4 and i want to know thing i mentioned above.
