1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,960
when we first saw the specs of the new xbox one x we were intrigued to say the

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:12,639
least there's 40 compute units it has native support for 4k 60fps gameplay are

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:16,240
there asterisks next to these claims are gonna leave us disappointed or are we

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,039
finally looking at a console that achieves both affordability and a pc

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,560
like gameplay experience speaking of not being disappointed

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:29,359
today's video is brought to you by tunnelbear tunnelbear makes it easy to

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:35,940
privately and securely browse a more open internet and to try tunnelbear for

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000
free go to tunnelbear.com LTT

9
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,239
so even though it's being touted as the most powerful console ever microsoft's

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,879
latest keeps the familiar xbox one branding rather than adopting a new name

11
00:00:53,039 --> 00:01:00,320
that would immediately indicate an all-new experience but this makes sense

12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,199
on some level although the xbox one x is graphically more capable than last

13
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:10,400
year's xbox one s the changes to its internal architecture are evolutionary

14
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,960
rather than revolutionary you'll be plugging in the same ports and playing

15
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,960
the same games on the same controller just with prettier pixels so if you

16
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:24,000
think about it buying a console has become more like a pc than ever before

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,439
there are now two models of the playstation 4 and 3 of the xbox one

18
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:34,880
whose primary differences are form factor power efficiency and graphics

19
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:39,200
card configuration just like the gaming computer shelf at a best buy or

20
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,880
something like that that is not to say though that the specification

21
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,360
differences between the xbox one x and its predecessors aren't significant on a

22
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:52,479
sheet of paper to some people they're just higher numbers the higher clocked

23
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:54,560
jaguar CPU is literally just that but

24
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:59,280
looking closely at the graphics configuration of this new custom chip

25
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:06,159
reveals that its closest desktop pc equivalent is probably a Radeon rx 580

26
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,039
which is a very capable card so in

27
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:15,599
practical terms they make possible the big selling point for the console it's

28
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:17,920
support for 4k gaming at 60fps natively

29
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,879
understandably microsoft hasn't been shy about this hardware investment marketing

30
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:24,879
the xbox one x as a premium experience

31
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:30,160
now of course that doesn't mean you can expect to find a water cooling system

32
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:35,040
and an SSD in it but it is equipped with a beefier vapor chamber heatsink than we

33
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,920
saw in the xbox one s that kept the hottest part of the system at a

34
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:45,280
reasonable 70 degrees under load without getting obnoxiously loud and there's a

35
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:51,360
one terabyte hard drive that is advertised as up to 50 percent faster a

36
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:56,319
benefit not just to game load times but also when the system needs to stream in

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,120
higher resolution textures as you wander around open environments feature wise

38
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,760
the one x is state of the art it comes with out of the box support for both

39
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,760
10 high dynamic range redundant i know you can learn more about it up here

40
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:15,280
but basically it amounts to deeper blacks brighter whites and more vibrant

41
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:20,720
colors on supported displays along with that there's also dolby atmos a surround

42
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:25,440
sound technology that encodes audio as objects instead of individual channels

43
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:30,400
for greater positional accuracy and realism with the proper home theater

44
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:37,440
hardware atmos is a game changer dolby atmos headphone is also supported with a

45
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,519
15 add-on purchase but the gears 4 dolby

46
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:44,080
headphone experience and even some canned demos they were pretty

47
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:49,040
underwhelming so i would hold off on this one at least for now now let's look

48
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:53,519
at the visual experience we gathered our competitors and settled on a test suite

49
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:58,640
of games that showed off the xbox one x's different ways of rendering 4k

50
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,720
content let's kick things off with forza 7. this was one of the titles microsoft

51
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:09,599
demoed prior to the one x's launch to show off its native 4k60 capabilities

52
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:12,400
unsurprisingly the xbox one x absolutely

53
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:17,680
shined in this game not only did it give us much better detail than the upscaled

54
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:24,160
4k from the 1s it was even a little bit better than our 500 pc which was running

55
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,520
the game at 4k on the recommended preset

56
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,240
at around 45 FPS anti-aliasing helped

57
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:34,800
our pc a little bit but the xbox one x showed off details we couldn't quite

58
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:39,360
make out on the pc even the controls on the dashboard inside our car and it did

59
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,759
so while running the game noticeably more smooth

60
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:49,040
so yeah score one for the one x here though of course this is a microsoft

61
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,960
exclusive game so the ps4 pro didn't actually get a crack at it so let's move

62
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:58,160
right along to shadow of war another native 4k title but one that only runs

63
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:03,520
at 30 FPS on the one x this game looked more or less equally nice on the ps4 pro

64
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,160
and the xbox one x both in terms of frame rate and texture quality and the

65
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:12,720
one s again was noticeably less sharp due to the lack of native 4k support the

66
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:19,199
system that gave us the worst overall experience at 4k was our

67
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:21,919
well our 500 pc which had to turn down

68
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:26,800
to the lowest preset to be playable but obviously we are aware that that could

69
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:31,919
be due to video memory limitation and should be noted that at 1080p and ultra

70
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:37,280
details it kept pace much better now let's look at assassin's creed origins

71
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,840
which uses checkerboard rendering at 4k

72
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:44,800
on both of our flagship consoles this ended up being a very similar story to

73
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:50,479
shadow of war with the ps4 pro and xbox one x looking nearly identical the 1s a

74
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,160
little bit less sharp and the 500 pc was only playable on the low preset until we

75
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:58,479
turned down the resolution but you should note that on pc there's a lot of

76
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,400
performance issues due to some funky drm stuff that's going on a weird aside here

77
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:07,039
is that although ubisoft called assassin's creed on the xbox one x the

78
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,880
definitive version of the game we were very hard-pressed to notice anything

79
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:15,919
that made it stand out but microsoft says it isn't all about 4k

80
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,080
and they claim that the more powerful processor in the xbox one x will like

81
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:25,440
we've been doing on our pc during our testing allow the use of higher quality

82
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:31,440
assets at 1080p so we turned down the resolution of both our one x and our pc

83
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:36,720
to 1080p then cranked our pc presets up to ultra quality on each game and to the

84
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:41,759
xbox's credit all three games looked nearly identical with the small caveat

85
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:46,080
that we needed to enable the favor quality setting on shadow of war this

86
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:50,000
customizability is a fantastic trend that we support and we'd like to see

87
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,639
continue but if you're going to be gaming on a 1080p display for the

88
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:59,199
foreseeable future this doesn't necessarily give the most powerful

89
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:04,000
console ever an unequivocal recommendation that's because for us if

90
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:10,080
we're going to have a similar gaming experience anyways we'd rather go for a

91
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:16,479
more versatile pc that isn't restricted to one specific console ecosystem with

92
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,160
that said the 4k experience is a bit of

93
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:23,199
a different story if you have to build a pc from the ground up for 500

94
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:28,639
especially if you're including Windows in that price the xbox one x craps all

95
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,520
over the 4k gaming experience you'd be having if you want to buy brand new

96
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:37,680
hardware from a store with a warranty and all of that and not do the whole

97
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:42,000
scrapyard wars thing at this point in time but if you're comparing to a ps4

98
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,560
pro which is a hundred bucks cheaper and has the same support for technologies

99
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:51,280
like HDR and dolby atmos bitstream pass-through along with very similar

100
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,000
gaming performance in a fair amount of titles

101
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,960
while that hundred dollar premium gets you the awesome uhd 4k blu-ray playback

102
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:03,360
if you're gonna use that and most importantly for the majority of people

103
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:08,800
more powerful hardware that should deliver a higher percentage of games at

104
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:12,479
crispy 4k60. there's also the awesome benefit of xbox play anywhere which

105
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:17,840
allows you to play your games on both xbox and pc with just one purchase which

106
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:22,080
is great for both being able to play with your friends despite being on

107
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:27,759
potentially a different platform and as an awesome value-add you do have to

108
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:32,240
wrestle with the always infuriating Windows store on the pc side but i'll

109
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:36,880
take it if it means that i get my game on both platforms without paying twice

110
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:41,680
super cool another thing to consider is that if you've already got a pc with a

111
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:45,200
4k display and 500 bucks burning a hole in your pocket it might be worth

112
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:50,720
upgrading that will likely net you the best 4k gaming experience for your money

113
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:56,560
but the xbox one x absolutely has a place in the market if you have or will

114
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,200
soon obtain a 4k tv HDR for an added

115
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:04,240
bonus and if you want a console to take full advantage of it the xbox one x

116
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:09,120
absolutely will deliver the best frame rates and the highest resolution for

117
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:13,839
consoles and before you scream about it no it's not a replacement for a gtx 1080

118
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,760
it's not a replacement for vega 64. these things can run 4k at eye popping

119
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,320
frame rates that's wonderful but it might be enough to stem the tide of

120
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,519
x-bowed and peasant station jokes at least for a while

121
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:28,720
maybe in some corners of the united who am i kidding it's not gonna do anything

122
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,640
i'm sure there's already a massive war in the comments of this video before we

123
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,800
even got to this section so whatever at least the console guys got something

124
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:41,040
cool i'm happy for them it's it's gonna be good and i can be happy for you too
