ARK Dev: XB1X Is Like a PC with GTX 1070 & 16GB RAM; Game Runs at 1080P@60 while PS4 Pro Is 1080P@30

ARK Co-Creative Director compared the Xbox One X to a PC with GTX 1070 and 16GB of RAM. The frame rate is twice as fast compared to PS4 Pro.

So is this the future of consoles? Minor upgrades every 2-3 years?

tinynuggins2533d ago

Isn't the X like 4-5x more powerful than the S? That doesn't seem minor.

Alexious2533d ago

Roughly 4x, yes. 1.30 teraflops to 6 teraflops.

Gazondaily2533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

It has begun!!!

DOUBLE FPS on THE BEAST!

Where is MagicBeanz or whatever his name is calling me out lmao!

Come out braaaav!

Gazondaily2533d ago

Legit rolling up into this article like this:

Oh shieee 🤣

I hope more devs focus on frame rate over resolution.

AnubisG2533d ago

What's up Septic? It's like you took a crazy pill ever since the XBX announcement. 😂

Alright we get it. You are happy that the XBX has powah!!! 😂

morganfell2533d ago

"DOUBLE FPS on THE BEAST! "

So Destiny only runs at 15FPS on the PS4? I do not think that is correct. Is the PC version of Crackdown 3 also limited to 30 FPS? And you really shouldn't brag about power when your games are on PCs like mine - dual ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1080 GTIs pushing 64GB of DDR4 run by a Kaby Lake 4.2 unlocked on an ASUS Maximus IX Formula.

Pretty soon...or maybe not...you'll realize it is the games that matter.

Babadook72533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

This is one of the worst devs. Let's see what happens with the big devs with a better track record before getting too excited.

Arnon2532d ago (Edited 2532d ago )

Lol what?

If you had a PC that had 16 GB of DDR4 and a GTX 1070, you would have a far more powerful device than an XBX. First of all, a GTX 1070 has 6.5 teraflops, not 6 teraflops. Furthermore, the card itself has 8 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and then you're adding another 16 GB of DDR4 which is far more memory than the XBX.

Also, the XBX has a processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, and if anyone is building a PC, pretty much any processor at this point is above 3.0 GHz, unless you're using a Xeon processor or something from the early 2000's.

Good on 'em for making something more powerful, but in no way does this compare to a PC with a GTX 1070 in it and 16 GB of RAM; that's straight clickbait.

darthv722532d ago

@morgan... damn son that sounds like a solid rig. If ya dont mind my asking... what that set ya back?

XisThatKid2532d ago (Edited 2532d ago )

I've been really enjoying this game I just bought it on PSN like last week of enjoy it a small bit more when I eventually get my Pro

kickerz2532d ago

SEPTIC you are da man 😂

mark_parch2532d ago

I see everyone's out in force downplaying this again just like back compat just like crossplay

Nightmar3Demom2532d ago

Well when you consider that the X was under powered to begin with......

frostypants2532d ago (Edited 2532d ago )

And 4K is exactly 4x as many pixels to push as 1080p. So it's not a direct correlation, but most of the additional GPU power is eaten up just as a function of that resolution bump, before even accounting for other wanted upgrades.

Edito2531d ago

But even so Microsoft don't want to call it the first console of the new generation...

aconnellan2533d ago

Correct - nor is 30fps to 60fps. Smh at people trying to downplay it

welly3002533d ago

Yeah if you have 4 k tv

JackBNimble2533d ago

Have you guys ever played Ark?
Their servers are complete shit with all the roll back, rubber banding and server lag that 60 fps isn't going to make any difference. Unless the dev's finally decide to stabilize the servers you're going to be rubber banding in 60 fps... 😂

SirBradders2532d ago

30 - 60 fps is not minor either.

Ark is trash I got a refund on it.

modelgod2533d ago

Yes!! I don't know why you have so many disagrees, it's 200% the future of gaming. If apple can do it with the iPhone and iPhone s, or plus....then so could MS and Sony!

JackBNimble2533d ago

Consoles aren't smart phones and people should really be irritated about a 2 console generation.

shiva12533d ago

@ JackBNimble

Agree but i keep hearing that PC players buy the new GPU or CPU or even the mouse pad quite so often as if all the gaming PCs in the world are core I9 with Ryzen and stuff.... When people say that in forums then obviously companies try to do that.... Thats where the business is right

Cryptcuzz2532d ago

Smart phones are a necessity nowadays, whereas consoles are not. Nor are they PC's.
Smart phone makers can do that as well, simply because there are so many smart phone users out there that cycle through a portion of them yearly with carrier upgrades would be enough buyers to make it worthwhile.

blvdnights14142532d ago

Yeah the funny thing is flagship phones come out every year and average $600 - $800+ retail and and people are waiting in line every year for these. The cost to tech upgrade ratio each release is completely lopsided yet people can't believe a company has the nerve to release a console for $500 roughly 4 years after their initial entry into "next gen"

THamm2533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

Not an upgrade, could even be next gen. but way too soon, and heck no exclusive mind blowing game footage like past console reveals. This should look like a Neo Geo compaed to a Sega Genesis, yet I don't think they focused on software as they should have, focusing on hardware. MS shouldn't have to rely on 3rd parties to promote X1X, they should have done internal

ChrisW2533d ago

Yup! But not quite 2-3 years. More like 4-5 years. But hey! PC gamers have been upgrading like that for decades!

Shadyceaser2533d ago

I used to upgrade yearly .... Not anymore I saw the light

dcbronco2533d ago

X isn't a minor upgrade. Going with a 6 teraflop GPU on it's face seems like it. Usually consoles jump six to ten times in power. This is more like four. But, the results are a big step up in how it performs.

We had started seeing games dropping from 1080p/60. One didn't even hit that consistently. Now we're talking 4k/60 on some games. While PS4 and One gave us lower midrange PC performance at launch, X takes us back to when consoles gave us lower end high performance PC quality.

It will be interesting to see what will be engineered into the real next generation. We'll see Vega or Navi GPUs and Ryzen CPUs for sure. 4k/60 solid for sure. Wonder if someone will push 8k or will we finally get the changes in game mechanics they always promise.

With all of the theoretical modeling done virtually we will see some monster consoles next generation. Scorpio is just the beginning.

Rude-ro2533d ago

You can have the fastest car in the world, but if you do not know how to drive it, it's pointless.
Microsoft has no clue about game engines or coding efficient software.
They need that power to push their unoptimized games to 4k.
Their time to shine at e3 and they did not show one game that looked better than a base PS4 game except for the 4k shine.
Xbox one games with a 4k shine will still be Xbox one games. The only players that are going to get shafted are base Xbox one owners by being left out with graphic perks and if, like ark, have such better performance compared to the 15fps average on Xbox one.
Great for Xbox players that upgrade, nothing worth while for people who are not interested in the x.

dcbronco2532d ago

Rude you go all out on your cluelessness, huh. If you read anything Digital Foundry did on the design of the console or any of the tech sites take on the information you'd know X actually outperforms a PC with similar specs. Microsoft made changes to the hardware using a system at Stanford and tested every API and engine to find all of the potential bottlenecks in the original equipment. They made the system around the software. X is extremely efficient. So maybe you need to learn to drive. All indications are that Microsoft is doing fine.

Btw, Microsoft doesn't program all of the games on their console. The developers of the game do. So unless it's first party, it's the developers code. Rude and wrong.

KillBill2532d ago

@Rude-ro - "Microsoft has no clue about game engines or coding efficient software."

What?? Do you have any clue what you just proclaimed? It's like you have no clue who Microsoft is or what they do.

343_Guilty_Spark2533d ago

Since when is double the frame rate minor?

rainslacker2533d ago

If they sell well, then yeah probably.

KillBill2533d ago

Not seeing how you can consider the Xbox One X as a minor upgrade?

2532d ago
frostypants2532d ago (Edited 2532d ago )

Something something "ERRRVERRTHRRRNG SHRD BRRR 4RRR-K" something. There's more to graphics than resolution, people. 4K takes a TON of additional bandwidth for what is relatively minor visual impact (compared to the horsepower required) that only a few can take advantage of, that could potentially be better used for graphical details/effects/draw distance/etc. etc. etc..

My PC with a GTX 1080 can't even run Ark smoothly, good luck to the Xbox One X haha.

Bigpappy2533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

Well they did say it was a monster they were building . Many who don't like XOne X right now will love it later

SirBradders2533d ago

It's nothing to do with the hardware the game is a buggy mess. Trust me I know I've played it.

ProjectVulcan2533d ago

The game IS a buggy mess. This developer should not be listened to. They can't code for crap. The game is poor. They either don't have the resources to do the job properly are just don't have the technical ability to fix their game.

megaleo0092533d ago

With halo 6,gears secuel and forza 7?nop,take you,i don't liked the microsoft presentation with the exclusive games.

Bigpappy2533d ago

@Tdatsunz. You must go ahead and build that then run the games Scorpio is running at the same res and quality. Report back with your findings.

AmUnRa2532d ago

No, only diehard xboxfans will buy the XboX one X, thats the true, and you xbxodiehard like you, Bigpapa will be eating crow, where are the first party games?
And dont cum up with SoT' CD3, F7, SoD and so on showing this games for about 3
E3 on a row...
You guys are just in defence mode and saying that Microsoft had the better show than Sony. Even if 100 xboxfanatics saying that the Xbox one (X) and Microsoft had the better conference does not make it the true🙄

frostypants2532d ago (Edited 2532d ago )

To those saying ARK is a buggy mess on PC: IT'S IN EARLY ACCESS.

You're playing a beta version of the game, at best. Don't play early access if you can't handle that.

Allsystemgamer2532d ago

"They said it was a monster"

And we know what's under the hood. It's not a monster. Sure it's be strongest console but comparing it to a 1070 based machine is just dumb. Because we know the specs of both.

And why does it seem to always be these small games with 60 fps? What is septic getting so excited about?

A new box that plays the games he already has in 4k. Does he think they're all going to magically be good?

Yeah because we're going to believe you over the Arc devs. Because you know, random forum devs with unproven hardware are gods.

MegaMohsi2533d ago

I believe the product more than words, have you seen Ark or read about the coverage in it's early access? DF did a video and performance was TERRIBLE. Of course you're just hear to defend your almighty god console without doing any research, typical.

JasonKCK2533d ago

"early access" You must have missed that part... of your own comment lol.

The irony in your comment is incredible.

Bruh2532d ago

@JasonKCK
Come on now dude, the arm chair engineers who imaginary career jobs at Google and Apple are the go ahead with how powerful hardware is. Didn't you know checkerboard 4K is the same thing as native? Don't let anyone tell you otherwise

TheCommentator2533d ago

Looks like the jokes on you then... money well spent on your rig that, by your own admission, can't outperform a $500 console...

IanTH2533d ago

I'd wait to see if the ARK devs can actually deliver on their statement. This game runs like...well, garbage to be frank. Been that way since day one and they haven't been able to make any meaningful strides in optimization over the 2 years it has been in Early Access. And I don't get it since it looks, at least to my eyes, to have truly average graphics.

JackStraw2532d ago

Right, because people outside of their crappy studio have actually played the game and seen it running at 1080p60. Mmmmk. Another dumb console fanboy.

MegamanXXX2533d ago

@ChristMustDie
You're right.

LastCenturyRob2533d ago

Too bad pc video cards are rarely optimized as they are on consoles.

Shadyceaser2533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

Heard of optimization ... Sorry your a pc gamer do not often I'm guessing .
@vulcanotoject ... Can we some of your arm chair coding skills .

Oh! You can't.

343_Guilty_Spark2533d ago

Your PC isn't a closed architecture with low level optimizations. Don't know why we get so many dumb PC vs console posts.

danny8182532d ago

its modified and games will run custom tailored for it

Neonridr2532d ago

consoles get more performance than PC equivalents because of the dedicated architecture. Performance is more easily accessed when it's all a SOC design vs plug and play pieces.

Tthose who plan on purchasing an Xbox One X, I genuinely hope you love the game and enjoy the 1080p resolution & 60FPS.

I have no issues with 1080p 30FPS. Just make a great game that's fun to play, and I'll be happy!

The best thing about the Scorpio or one of is that devs will actually take the time to push games harder on the pro,some of these pro patches are straight up lazy
