Xbox Series S Has Gone From No-Brainer To No Thank You

Xbox Series S Has Gone From No-Brainer To No Thank You https://ift.tt/fvG6q2x Just a couple of years ago, the Xbox Series S felt like a great holiday gift idea. I was able to pick up a console for $250 during Black Friday and introduce my brother to this generation of console gaming. He just had to buy a Game Pass for Console subscription, and he suddenly had access to a big library of current-gen games and all of Xbox’s first-party titles the day they released. Sure, games didn’t run quite as well on the slightly less powerful console, but it was good enough for a casual gamer like him. Following the price hikes announced today by Microsoft , the Xbox Series S no longer feels like such a good deal. While it’s still the cheapest way into current-gen gaming, the entire Xbox ecosystem has been price gouged to the point where the Xbox Series S no longer has a clear or appealing platform identity.

AMD Tackles The 1440p Market With New RX 7800 XT And RX 7700 XT GPUs

AMD Tackles The 1440p Market With New RX 7800 XT And RX 7700 XT GPUs https://ift.tt/Y8q10rg

AMD is taking aim at the 1440p market with two new GPUs that attempt to balance generation-on-generation performance improvements and affordability.

The RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT will both launch on September 6, with a free copy of Starfield to give you an easy way to properly test them. These two cards, priced at $500 and $450, respectively, are more squarely aimed at tackling Nvidia's limp attempt at a mid-range card this generation, with both the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4070 mostly failing to impress the wide range of PC consumers. The RX 7800 XT boasts some impressive numbers over the RTX 4070 according to AMD's in-house testing, in both traditionally rasterized performance and ray tracing (an area where AMD has lagged behind for two generations).

In games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the RX 7800 XT outperformed the RTX 4070 at 1440p by 23%, 15%, and 5% respectively. It did, however, lose out heavily when ray-tracing was turned on, with Nvidia's card pulling ahead by 12% in Spider-Man: Miles Morales and 18% in Doom Eternal. Still, some outliers in favor of AMD with single-digit performance advantages, such as Resident Evil 4 and Far Cry 6, both with raytracing on, show that AMD has potentially made some ground up. And at a full $100 cheaper, the RX 7800 XT proposes some mighty value over the RTX 4070.
