but the value of the PC you bought and its real value are differents, now if your PC was barely able to run 4k at 15fps, you'd have the same power more or less than a One X and you'd not have paid 2000 bucks for it, even pre built @Tech Talk

You say waste time but that time would have saved you money

so there's no point to compare the two of them if you don't compare them equally

yeah but time is money @dunce

wasting time researching is potentially wasting money 😉

which you then recoup after the research

endless loop

I know, but the point isn't really if he bought his PC pre built for 2000 or if he built it himself for 1400

His original point was that it's more expensive on PC to get console level performance

he's comparing the 4k capabilities of that PC with a console that deliver something else entierly

So it definitely is the point

checkerboard 4k has nothing to do with native 4k

so let's say he bought the part himself instead of contracting a company for that, he would have paid it 1400 or so instead of 2000

which lowers the entry point into pc gaming substantially

that would still be more expensive, no matter what, even if the total was 1000 bucks

but the fact that he's comparing it with a company that cheat people into selling "native 4k" is the real point

but as you said, the pc build actually is more powerful because it doesn't do fake 4k

it's not the traditionnal upscale technology, but it's still upscaling behind the scene...

if you were to use checkerboard rendering and adaptive res on pc then the price to "achieve" 4k would lower again

that's my point, yeah

but nobody really want to bother doing that for PC games

There's not really any need

again I agree

few games support such things

Since a user has greater control over settings to achieve what they want

you could get a PC to play Portal 2 in checkerboard 4k 60fps for less than 500 bucks

I used portal 2 as an example because I know that the game has the settings to run in checkerboard 4k

I didn't know it did

Huh, the more you know

it's old but it's probably the only reason it even has this setting...
