1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:09,800
this PC is the same price as a PlayStation 5 and competes or in some

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,840
cases even wins in just about every game

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,519
we tested including some Sony first

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:20,760
party titles but how is that even possible I mean gaming consoles dominate

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,679
computers in price to Performance don't they well sometimes

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,640
it's no secret that Sony and Microsoft are willing to sell their Hardware at a

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,320
loss in order to lock walk you into their ecosystem of accessories

8
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:40,200
subscription services and software all of which are sold for a profit over time

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:45,360
then this chips away at your initial savings but even with that in mind I

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,280
totally get why people go for it when this thing launched $500 barely got you

11
00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:53,960
a decent GPU let alone a complete gaming

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,440
box of course there's no denying the power of the Sony exclusive machine no

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,760
PC could ever hope to compete with that model

14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:08,280
at least not for the first couple of years but technology marches ever onward

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:14,520
and with competition and the used Market heating up again it is finally possible

16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:18,119
to match the price and performance and

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:21,000
budget of a PlayStation 5 with a gaming

18
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:26,320
PC and ours is going to be powered by SE Sonic who sponsored this video Even

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,360
though this is a secondhand power

20
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,439
supply that'll make sense later first we

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,240
have to answer some big questions if our

22
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:45,320
goal is to match the PlayStation 5's spec we need a ryzen 7 3700x with eight

23
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:48,119
Zen 2 cores and a 6600 XT rdna2 GPU but

24
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:53,520
guys we don't want to match it look at the title we want to beat it that means

25
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:58,680
making smart choices in the name of real world performance even if they might

26
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:04,680
come with some compromises like this one we've gone with the AMD ryzen 5

27
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:08,160
5600x and it's got two fewer cores than

28
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,360
the PlayStation 5 however it's Zen 3

29
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,760
architecture makes it the budget King when it comes to gaming right now and

30
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:19,080
it's only 65 Watts meaning that the stock heat sink that's included with it

31
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,720
should be fine to keep it cool that right there that's savings and it means

32
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:28,879
we don't need an OP power supply in order to drive this thing boom more

33
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:35,440
savings now it's worth noting that for a few bucks more you could jump up to a 57

34
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:38,720
or 5800 X but uh we are on a pretty

35
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,440
tight budget making our $500 Target even

36
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,680
more challenging is the fact that we wanted this to be a build that you could

37
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:50,599
replicate at home this isn't scrapyard Wars this is a guide so we targeted

38
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,319
prices that you will probably be able to find in about a week whether it's on

39
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:59,000
eBay or elsewhere if you're patient and have a little luck on your side there

40
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:04,480
are better deals to be had out there David found this PPP for just over

41
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,519
$70 just remember to follow our guidelines for Marketplace bargain

42
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,599
hunting if you want to avoid getting scammed we're going to have that video linked down below the nice thing about

43
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:18,080
going for AMD's am4 socket is that there are three whole generations of

44
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:23,000
motherboards that you get to pick from but we noticed a few things you're going

45
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:28,280
to want to watch out for first older generation boards turned out to cost

46
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,840
almost the same as the newer ones but

47
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,560
had a much higher risk of income compatibility with newer chips so make

48
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:40,439
sure you double check the manufacturer's website second for the difference in

49
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,120
price a series chipsets are a no no

50
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:46,360
you're going to want to go B series in order to retain important features and

51
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:52,360
get what is typically higher build quality even if it costs a few more

52
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:54,439
dollars so b550 and b450 ended up being

53
00:03:52,360 --> 00:04:01,439
the sweet spot where we found multiple candidates for around $40 including our

54
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:04,159
ASRock b450m Pro 4 it's got four ddr4

55
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:09,680
dim slots for our 16 gigs of gskill trident Z 3600 megat transfer per second

56
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,920
RAM and it's even got respectable IO

57
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:17,959
including USB type-c now it's not all

58
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:21,680
roses b450 is limited to PCI Express gen

59
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:23,800
3 rather than Gen 4 that means that our

60
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:28,639
system could struggle to get maximum performance out of future gpus and even

61
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:34,800
today this is a compromise next to one of the ps5s most most advertised

62
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:37,800
features it's rock and fast SSD our 1

63
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,600
tby Samsung 970 Evo plus runs at only

64
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:47,320
about 35ths of the speed of the PlayStation 5's storage but it's a

65
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,360
reputable name brand drive and with most

66
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,600
PC games being optimized for SATA ssds

67
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:59,360
or even hard drives there will be next to no impact in our gaming performance

68
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:01,880
at least for now so smart compromise or

69
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:07,479
dumb cut let us know what you think in the comments below speaking of cuts we

70
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:13,800
ended up saving some of our money by using the kind of case that might have

71
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,319
some ragged edges on it but can be found for free or for just a few bucks on a

72
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:26,720
local Marketplace uh David this thing is huge

73
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:28,600
hell yeah definitely Advantage PS5 which

74
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:35,000
with debrand dark plates comfortably fits in an LTD backpack LTT Store.com

75
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:40,840
your mileage may vary here we got lucky is um and this was a pretty sick case

76
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:45,520
before the trauma but your goal is to pretty much find someone who's dumping

77
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:50,680
old office PCS or gaming skeletons like this for next to if not zero if you're

78
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:55,199
patient you can often find ones with some cooling fans already installed in

79
00:05:52,560 --> 00:06:00,280
them to save a few more bucks the only big thing to watch out for is ATX

80
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:05,759
compatibility and clearance for any longer components a Dremel can often

81
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:10,160
solve compatibility issues but you might not have one on hand fortunately we

82
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:16,319
won't need any of that for our x650 gold power supply from today's sponsor seic

83
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,639
this particular unit came out almost 15

84
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:24,560
years ago but is still going strong and what's really cool is that even if you

85
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:27,520
are buying secondhand C Sonic stands

86
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,759
behind their products hard they actually have a transferable warranty meaning

87
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,120
that all you need to do is ask the seller for the original sales invoice

88
00:06:34,039 --> 00:06:40,800
and you're covered for the entire original length not only that but they

89
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:50,400
recently upped their warranty on newer units from 10 years to 12 years absolute

90
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:53,319
Chads now let's talk GPU this one it's

91
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:59,960
going to be a little spicy but hey is the spice of life right we've gone

92
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:03,560
with the Intel Arc a77 I know I know

93
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:07,919
guys but compatibility has improved a

94
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:10,599
lot and it's got 16 gigs of gddr6 memory

95
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:15,199
all to itself instead of having to share with the CPU now people are starting to

96
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:20,599
catch on to this thing and by the time this video comes out prices may have

97
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:25,160
gone up a bit but we had an opportunity so we seized it also we kind of wanted

98
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:29,039
an excuse to see how far Intel has come for ourselves after a couple years of

99
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:34,680
driver updates it is worth acknowledging at this stage that we could have gone

100
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:37,120
with a 6700 XT or a 3060 TI at this

101
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,120
price

102
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,960
but

103
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:47,520
sorry let's game we're going to assume you have some kind of peripherals to use

104
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,680
so we didn't Factor those into our budget but otherwise what you're looking

105
00:07:49,520 --> 00:08:00,639
at is an Apples to Apples comparison between our PS5 and our PS5

106
00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:01,720
killer we hope these uh fans don't work

107
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:10,199
to kick things off we're going to be playing Doom maternal a game that runs at 120 FPS on the PlayStation 5 albeit

108
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:16,080
at a lower resolution scale so we've set our PC to run at 4K but 68% resolution

109
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:21,199
scale and I got to tell you this is not looking good not right dude this is

110
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:28,120
basically unplayable what kind of frame rate are you oh W I'm 120

111
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,720
baby something is wrong ah there's your

112
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:34,440
problem right there on the p side you might have to do a little bit of

113
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:41,519
configuration with the most important one being enabling above 4G decoding and

114
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:44,320
resizable bar support particularly Intel

115
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:56,640
Arc does not perform its best without rebar enabled oh yeah that is more like

116
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:58,959
it oh yeah 1% lows of0 115 FPS it is

117
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:04,040
amazing what a difference just making sure everything thing is configurated

118
00:09:00,839 --> 00:09:08,640
properly can make dude was this really

119
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:12,800
500 bucks though yeah man Intel

120
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Arc not so bad after all huh it's hard

121
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,079
to do an Apples to Apples comparison here because the image quality in the

122
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:23,480
settings menus are not necessarily directly comparable but what David and I

123
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,360
can do is we can skip this cut

124
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:31,279
scene and just oh I mean that's interesting my field of view is so much

125
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,680
wider than yours I can change that uh o

126
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:37,160
I don't have HDR on though oh let's turn that on okay my screen's not pretty but

127
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,880
what about my PlayStation pretty freaking nice do you

128
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:44,720
like my PlayStation I'm the wrong person as I like this case okay hold on we're

129
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,320
going to figure this out one sec I can't think of anything more Windows than

130
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:52,880
having HDR issues so a huge advantage of playing on

131
00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:56,360
my PlayStation if I plug in an HDR display it's like hey let's calibrate

132
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,680
you're done I once had a computer that had such a bad HDR issue that it was

133
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:05,040
easier to reinstall Windows and figure out the issue I'd call you a liar but I

134
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:09,800
believe you 100% what I promise is true the next thing we discovered is that HDR

135
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:15,360
support on Intel Arc is a little bit spotty it turns out AMD and NVIDIA have

136
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:20,839
proprietary implementations for how the game calls for HDR to be enabled and

137
00:10:18,079 --> 00:10:26,920
Intel well doesn't support them it uses the standard direct X implementation so

138
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:33,320
there's no denying that HDR is going to look better than SDR in any game that

139
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:35,800
supports it that really pops however now

140
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:41,680
that we've got rebar enabled performance is looking pretty darn good and I'd

141
00:10:39,079 --> 00:10:46,480
say who's got the edge when it comes to image quality it's pretty close it's

142
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,560
really close look at this cluster of rocks the geometry and the detail and

143
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,279
the texture is looking I think the textures are a little bit better on this

144
00:10:52,360 --> 00:11:00,040
but the geometry detail is about the same okay how's it feel though here we

145
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:04,480
go the fact that I'm using an HDR display right now and not getting an HDR

146
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:11,720
image is a bit of a downer but most people do not have HDR displays I'm

147
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:13,279
getting anywhere from 115 to 120 FPS I

148
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,760
don't have frame view open I should open that I had frame view open one of the

149
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:22,639
previous times before we were diagnosing the HDR thing and I'm getting 1% lows in

150
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:25,240
the neighborhood of around 110 115 FPS

151
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:30,160
it's really respectable here's something you've definitely got the edge in

152
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:33,800
loading times yeah but with that

153
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:36,680
said this is a lot of PC for the money

154
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:40,320
it's pretty impressive I would not be surprised if we managed to put together

155
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:44,920
something like this as a one-off you know we negotiated everyone into the

156
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:50,279
ground but the fact that we were able to find with pretty good consistency Parts

157
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:56,160
like this available for this price it's PC gaming back oh 100% is the render

158
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000
scale at 100% yep so this is actually

159
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:07,040
better image quality than a PS5 cuz the PS5 will be 1800p upscale to 4K mhm and

160
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:09,160
we're hitting 60 is I

161
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:13,240
mean pretty respectable once again I couldn't help

162
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:17,040
noticing this game looks a lot better in HDR though yeah those colors look a lot

163
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:23,000
more vibrant this is freaking smooth one of

164
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:29,800
the big things that Intel has struggled with with Arc is while their average

165
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:33,920
frame rate might be good the 1% lows are

166
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:36,199
1% very low here I'm not getting that

167
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:42,760
kind of stutter this is a very very smooth experience and what does that

168
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:45,160
game run at in performance mode 60 60

169
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:48,920
yeah okay it's not a perfect 60 it'll drop from that frame rate once in a

170
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:54,600
while but it's a little more steady than this PC one but with vrr I think I would

171
00:12:51,959 --> 00:13:00,079
choose that extra sharpness I was kind of surprised every time I tried

172
00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:03,160
upscaling it lowered the performance so

173
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:08,040
uh let's go qu that's 1440p I

174
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:10,680
think yeah my 1% lows are still the same

175
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:15,160
given that I probably wouldn't bother but this is my first experience with

176
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:19,000
Intel xcss in quite a long time and it looks really good yeah does it look

177
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,000
better than FSR hard to say I'd have to look at up

178
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,320
side by side but it's I don't see anything obvious that's jumping off the

179
00:13:24,839 --> 00:13:34,360
screen at me like oh yeah they're upscaling looks looks ugly even distant

180
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:35,920
text super sharp come on PC let's go oh

181
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,880
oh my gosh your your video did load first

182
00:13:39,079 --> 00:13:47,399
oh see who makes it in game first what oh probably who ever

183
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:53,480
developed the bo oh wow okay that's not fair that's not

184
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:59,320
fair though that's true oh wow what happened device driver h a driver D I

185
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:05,160
literally installed it today oh all right 20 frames per second that's lower

186
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:12,000
than it was before I also set it to 4K native oh yeah don't do that okay but

187
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:16,279
HDR is working in this game hey there we

188
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,800
go I hope this is a 30fps game on

189
00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:24,800
PlayStation oh no okay why is it crashing so much no

190
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:29,360
it's got this it's got this I believe I believe it has the power of PC the power

191
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:35,120
of PC compels you nice game for God of War it runs at

192
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,360
1440p on the PS5 so we're doing some

193
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:41,440
upscaling here but what we can't figure out is what the heck is going on with

194
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:47,880
HDR it's not in display it's not in graphics oh wait screen calibration

195
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:50,720
really you guys I think this might be

196
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:55,600
the first game that does look good new game yeah I read that the HDR on the PC

197
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,120
version of God of War supposed to look a little better in spite of this being a

198
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:02,720
generation older TV than this one it does I think it does actually look a

199
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:07,800
little better how's the details and everything

200
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:12,240
it's pretty similar I think it's a little less on PC oh this upscaling

201
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:17,360
looks a little better in the fine hairs of kratos's beard yep it's a little

202
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:21,880
softer there I got to be looking for it though at TV distance I wouldn't notice

203
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:32,120
they looks so similar other than that this one's a little more pop uh what's

204
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:36,880
your FPS 60 me too let's go okay go

205
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:42,560
yeah and go yeah this is so satisfying

206
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:45,720
and go yeah get it Gros and go crap no I

207
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:48,000
messed up the last most important

208
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:53,079
one we're going to have links by the way to everything that we use down below and

209
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:57,440
on that note if you're buying on eBay congratulations you've got great buyer

210
00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:01,880
protection so make sure that you use it by testing everything that you buy

211
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:06,639
before the return window is up run some stress tests you know mem test for RAM

212
00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:12,759
and CPU memory controller Prime 95 for CPU compute firmar for your GPU and for

213
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:16,839
extra credit push all the components at once which will help stress test your

214
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:22,120
power supply on a related note by the way marketplaces can have better pricing

215
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:27,040
because they don't charge the same seller fees but they don't have any

216
00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:30,160
buyer protection and unless people happen to be Bros you are not get

217
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,639
getting your money back for faulty Hardware that means that you always want

218
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:39,279
to test the parts before buying them and if the seller is being weird about

219
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:41,319
showing you the parts working skip them

220
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:45,759
just save yourself that die roll there's plenty of fish in the sea also always

221
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:51,440
visually inspect the commonly damaged areas like the pins on a CPU or on a

222
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:56,959
motherboard there's no denying the results though David this is a little

223
00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:00,519
less sharp but I also think I have a little bit more Headroom

224
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:05,480
it's hard to compare cuz this one's locked at 60 uh I'd be curious to see if

225
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:10,039
we unlocked it what kind of numbers we would hit but that's console baby you

226
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:15,679
get what you get this actually seems like a good time to bring up that uh we

227
00:17:12,439 --> 00:17:18,319
uh casually didn't include a controller

228
00:17:15,679 --> 00:17:22,000
whereas for that $500 price point or even lower if you don't bother with the

229
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,199
disc version of the PlayStation 5 you get one of the best controllers on the

230
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:29,520
market arguably one of the best controllers like ever am I going to get

231
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:33,799
another one that has HDR working looks like it you know what that's smoother

232
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:37,240
though that's I was about to say yeah I'm pretty sure you're in 30fps mode

233
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:44,720
here cuz that looks a little that looks a little sharper though yeah I can really see it in the

234
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:47,919
Stray hairs here oh yeah to be clear

235
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,480
this is very playable this is not bad

236
00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:53,559
but this is definitely a little sharper let me see what I can do to fix that up

237
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:58,280
a bit over here in terms of settings I'm running pretty much at Ultra but what I

238
00:17:56,039 --> 00:18:03,600
haven't maxed out is my render scale so I'm going to try rendering at 80% rather

239
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:06,000
than 70% of 4K The Last of Us is the

240
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:11,240
kind of game that 30 FPS is pretty acceptable to me are there any

241
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:16,600
crucifixes nearby cuz uh I think we're going to need one it's a cinematic game

242
00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:21,320
as long as I'm over 24 I'm fine look ocara time 20 frames a second

243
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:26,880
greatest game of all time what can I say you've got the edge frage quality I

244
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,400
think these fine stray hairs are not

245
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,919
quite looking as good I also so wonder your set on ultra settings if maybe

246
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,880
there's like some Shadow things we could bring down in like some kind of

247
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:41,039
optimization that would help boost you back over the edge after some more

248
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:45,480
playing around we ended up needing 70% render scale in order to get 30 FPS

249
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:49,080
consistently and Last of Us Part One should be noted we could absolutely hit

250
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,159
higher frame rates if we were willing to compromise on visual Fidelity but that

251
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:58,400
wasn't the point of this exercise the point of this exercise was to get a an

252
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:04,400
as good or in some cases maybe even better experience with the same budget

253
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:09,320
and what did we spend overall we spent

254
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:12,520
$475 we got $25 of wiggle room right but

255
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:15,280
we also conjured peripherals we didn't

256
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:19,919
pay for a controller and realistically we don't have a warranty on pretty much

257
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,760
any of our parts we also had to put in the time to Source all this stuff and

258
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,080
put it together including the risk of running into broken Hardware

259
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:31,480
incompatibilities we had some games that because of our choice voice of an Intel

260
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:38,840
Arc GPU didn't run as well whether that's crashing or limited support for

261
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,280
HDR so full credit to Sony and Microsoft

262
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:45,159
for that matter this generation of consoles I would say has retained its

263
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:50,480
better value than a PC status for far longer than I anticipated and it may be

264
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,720
another year even two years before we

265
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:59,000
can beat them with a brand new machine but I also think that credit to David by

266
00:19:55,919 --> 00:20:02,679
the way for The Adventurous we've shown

267
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,840
that it can be done today if you're

268
00:20:02,679 --> 00:20:08,280
willing to get a little creative just like we're creatively telling you about

269
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:13,039
our sponsor actually we already did but whatever seic they deserve even more

270
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:18,280
shoutouts just for being kind of awesome this ancient power supply guys was a
