Not sure what OP is trying to achieve here. $700 PC = $500 console. That PC even has a slightly better CPU so you'd expect slightly better results. Many of the console games have HDR vs missing on PC. Even with X1X equating to 1060 power, it's still a good buy.
Read my OP and stop trying to put words into my mouth. I already stated everything you said right now. 1X is good value for money, I’ve stated that in my OP and many times in this thread already.
The reason I made the thread is to inform people that were listening to idiots like Ron that said a 1X was equivalent to a highend PC (GTX 1070 and above) which it isn’t. We’ve had clowns like him running around since the before the release of the 1X hyping it as a system that can go toe to toe with highend PCs, and in the process confusing and misinforming people. This thread is to set the record straight, it is not to say the 1X is weak or shitty value for money. It's a powerful console that can go head to head with a mid-range PC equipped with a GTX 1060 or RX580.
BTW, your last point about HDR makes no sense at all. HDR doesn't affect gameplay and it's not exclusive to consoles. 60fps on all games is possible with a GTX 1060 equipped PC in addition to mods and all the benefits of PC gaming that actually affect gameplay. I would argue benefits of a mid-range PC far outweigh having a superficial benefit like HDR.
My HDR comment makes perfect sense. It's more common on console currently, and it 100% adds to the image fidelity, even if it has zero performance impact. The fact that Windows 10 HDR settings are super messed up, and that most PC games don't support it still means console will deliver a better more accurate picture in terms of color for many games that do support HDR on console.
Console - cheaper than PC equivalent parts
Console - more games support HDR
Console - no build, just plug and play, everything included
Yes, if you have more money, go PC and get the highest graphics settings you can muster, but apples to apples, the PC equivalent to the X1X will cost you more. The X1X GPU is, on paper, around a 1060 spec, but a PC can also suffer from any number of other interfering components running on a shared PCIe bus. Plus potential driver issues, optimization differences, and the fact that the OS shares the resources on the GFX card which is why the X1X can outperform the 1060 in real benchmarks versus what it says on paper.
If your argument is "hey everybody, the X1X graphic card is spec'd closer to a 1060, so there!" then yes, it is. But it's real performance is not because of many other factors in the nature of a PC build vs a custom hardware build.
