Microsoft began selling in Russia the "most powerful console in the world". What is the xbox one x inside the iron? Which card in xbox one s
Gaming consoles tightly entered our lives. Previously, each individual model was independent of the previous ones, and could only reproduce those games that are intended for her. Nowadays, in the age of wide popularization of games, and overall gemina, the gaming consoles have gained the opportunity to use the game libraries of other models of consoles.
Meet! The new model of the game console from Microsoft - Xbox One X!
It opens up new gaming capabilities, allows you to plunge into the attractive virtual world and allows you to try what we could not dream before!
The company's developers equipped its possibility of reverse compatibility with Xbox One S and Xbox 360, so that everyone can create an incredible library, both already loved old games and new exclusive releases for the X model. Also, games from Xbox One X will be ported to the previous model Companies - XBOX ONE S.
Compared to the early models of the Xbox, One X series has an increased power, and, in effect, and performance. Now each of us has the opportunity to enjoy the incredible image quality in the Ultra HD resolution, while old models are displayed by Full HD. This jump truly shakes the imagination, because now the consoles are not inferior to the quality of graphics even the most powerful computers.
The price of the Xbox One x 1TB is $ 499, but be sure that this money will not be wasted.
Magnificent design
The design of the console has undergone changes compared to Xbox One S, but similarities undoubtedly have, because during the release of Xbox One S many were under a great impression of the design of the console and Microsoft's design decided not to go far ...
Xbox One X has a smaller size, due to which it becomes more compact and convenient in location, anywhere in the house or apartment.
You can buy Xbox One X in the gray version, which looks stylish, modern and very futuristic.
The front panel is equipped with a neat and elegant slot for disks, a start button with the legendary Xbox icon, a USB port, an IR receiver and a synchronization button with a headset and gamepad. The front part design strongly resembles the previous version, but the location of the disc slot changed: now it is placed at the bottom of the console.
Looking at this "Miracle" technologies from Microsoft from the back, you will see two USB ports, HDMI output and a separate input, power connector, infrared output, Ethernet port and optical audio output.
Xbox One X gamepad is functionally identical to the Xbox One S accessory, the only difference is visualizing: a beautiful gray performance that complements the console itself.
Characteristics
Even before the official presentation of the console, its incredible technical characteristics were known, which predetermined the success of the project.
The new model is equipped with a 8-nuclear process with a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz, the RAM of 12 GB type GDDR5. The console will have an amazing graphic power in 6 Teraflops, thanks to the graphical processor with a clock frequency of 1172 MHz. The "box" possesses the Ultra HD Blu-ray player, and the amount of memory is 1 TB.
Thanks to the combination of Dolby Atmos and Blu-ray, the Console has wider hardware capabilities. Many were skeptical to the fact that it did not use graphic processors from the most popular companies, such as AMD and NVIDIA, but what managed to create Microsoft was struck by many. The console is truly powerful and productive!
Game power
Many people think that comparing Microsoft consoles and PlayStation models difficult to say which one is more powerful and why. But it is enough to pay attention to the technical characteristics and you will not have such a question. The craftsmen from Microsoft did with the help of Xbox One x a big step into the future.
We were not in vain assured in the incredible abilities of the inner gland. Developers even before the official presentation said that the new Forza 7 game will be transmitted in the resolution of Ultra HD at 60 frames per second. And you know, they did not lie! But it was not the limit of development.
On the official demonstration of game opportunities, the company's employees demonstrated Forza Motorsport 7 and Gears of War 4
They produced a real furor! Playing Forza 7 On the Xbox One X console, it was possible to consider in detail the car not only inside, but also outside. Even the stitching of the steering wheel looks so detailed and clearly that the feeling is sometimes created, as if it is a real racing sports car. Even when distanceing the camera, the outdoor part of the car looks great.
But truly all struck the study of the game: when the car develops a greater speed, external parts begin to rattle from the oncoming wind, each small item comes into motion. Believe me, it looks incredible!
Upon closer examination of Gears of War 4, gorgeous study of light is immediately rushed into the eyes, as well as clear shadows under the legs of the heroes, which can only be demonstrated in Ultra HD. The company's developers said that they would gradually renderate all games in the 4K image, and this news certainly makes you think about buying Xbox One x as quickly as possible.

Game library
Great news! If you want to buy an Xbox One x, then boldly acquire, because it will support all the Xbox One S games backward compatibility. This trend has been maintained in all console models from Microsoft, Xbox One x has not exceeded.
The opposite compatibility will also be present. Then there is a completely natural question "Why buy a new Xbox One X console, the price of which is somewhat higher, if it may seem that this situation is more profitable to the Xbox One S owners?". This is not true.
Previously, when a new game came out, it did not have an installation base. With the Xbox One x, everything is different. By purchasing any game, you can play with friends over the network, as it is back compatible with Xbox One and Xbox One S.
In a special issue, along with the console, the set will go forza Motorsport 7 or Gears of War 4.

Xbox One X is a powerful gaming console offering games that gamers have never seen before. It has more importance, and individual problems.
A look into the past
When the Xbox One and Playstation 4 consoles appeared on the market, video game enthusiasts had the right to feel disappointment. They were significantly less effective than predecessors, offering disappointing hardware capabilities. Especially in the case of Microsoft, whose Xbox One was slower than PlayStation 4.
When Xbox One appeared on the market, technical innovations have already sought to 4K permissions. At the same time, Microsoft console barely reached Full HD. Although with numerous software updates and development tools, the situation has improved, the equipment still has many games visualizes in 900p resolution.
Sony was the first one who solved this problem by releasing the PlayStation 4 Pro Console, thanks to which new components allowed to play at a higher resolution. Now Microsoft does the same release of Xbox One X.
Xbox One X successor xbox one or xbox one s
It looks like buying a car. The same model from the same year is available in several versions. Both with cheap and economical engine, as well as expensive, much better performance. The same applies to Xbox One Consoles.
Xbox One S is a cheaper game console series for less demanding people. With her you can succeed for a small price. The most expensive version of the Xbox One x is twice as much. It does not differ in the functions from S. Here the same games, the same system, the same accessories available, UHD Blu-ray drive and multimedia support in 4K and HDR. What is the difference? Performance in games.
Unsurpassed computing power
Xbox One x 40 percent works more efficiently than PlayStation 4 Pro. Game developers have at their disposal graphic efficiency at 6 TFLOPS, for this 12 GB of GDDR5 memory with 326 GB / s and 2.3-gigahertov, octane main processor. It is especially nice, all computing power is enclosed in a box of almost the same sizes as Xbox One S. Even the distribution of ports (3 × USB 3.0, IR, optical output, HDMI input, HDMI output) has not changed.
What is more pleased, despite the small size, the game console is not noise when large loads are visited. When the game is started, not tied to its capabilities, it works almost silently. Only when you turn on something working in UHD, hear the noise of fans. Fortunately, their quiet and neutral tonality itself produces a huge impression.
The console can work, located both horizontally and vertically. The appearance here is a subjective issue. But, Xbox One S, looks better, so one x seems to me less attractive. Summary small black and inexpressive brick.

Each game is changing on Xbox One X
Not all games will use the computational power of the new Microsoft console properly. Not every creator wants to update its work with new graphic resources and maintain a new graphics processor. But even these games will work better on the Xbox One X. I had the opportunity to confirm it.
Games written under the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Xbox will go on one x, because Microsoft game consoles are backward compatibility. But, on the new console, they will load faster, thanks to a more efficient 50% hard disk. Xbox One X will also provide more accurate mechanisms for filtering textures and smoothing the edges, which makes a non-adaptive game a little better.
Real power is visible in games adapted to Xbox One X
Many games have already been announced, their more than 140, of which more than 70 are available from the date of release (November 7), calling for responsibility for the pace of introduction of games improved under the PlayStation 4 Pro. Unfortunately, I have not yet had the opportunity to get acquainted with everyone. The developers waited for a commercial premiere of the console with the release of patches for their production. If you have doubts: Patches enriching games for Xbox One X, and they will certainly remain free.
Nevertheless, I spent many hours checking those that have already been available. These were Gears of War 4, as well as Titanfall 2 and EA Sports FIFA 18. There were also less impressive as Diablo III.
It's nice to get into the world of expensive PC
It is a pity, I can't show you their beauty, because most of you are likely to read an overview on equipment without a HDR display and with a noticeable compression of the quality that removes the items from the image. As well as the sharpness and clarity of what is happening on a good TV, it's just amazing.
I connected the Xbox One x for the better LG OLED TV, as well as to the bright one of the available, Samsung QLED. What saw on the screen leads to the sorcement of jaws. And all this while maintaining fixed, depending on the game, 60 or 30 frames per second, in 4K, with an extended color palette.
Games not only acquire liquidity, focus and colors. Microsoft in no way limits game developers to how they can use the ONE X console power (with the exception of one condition: the game should work well on one S and One). Some simply increase the resolution and set the level of detail in the engine to the maximum. Others go a few steps further and provide in the form of updates completely new graphic elements, more sharp textures, etc.
Some decide not to use 4K using intermediate resolution and greater image detail. Absolute delight - Forza Motorsport 7, which displays the image at 60 frames per second with a resolution of 4 KB, active HDR and all graphic settings from the PC version to maximum.
It really impresses. Especially if you have a good 4K TV with HDR.
What if I have Full HD TV?
I read a lot of doubts about the Internet about the possible advantages of using the Xbox One X console, if you have a display that works with a lower resolution is not a problem. One x scales the image to resolution 1440p, 1080p and 720p.
Because if the one x is connected to the Full HD TV, it still displays the image in 4K, and then scales it to 1080p. Thus, the smoothing effect is eliminated, therefore, the lines on the inclined objects. In addition, all other improvements and, therefore, more detailed information about graphics or faster memory still remain.
The Xbox One X Console can perform its role as a graphical pulse, even if you do not have UHD TV. Of course, on the best TV there will be a special effect if it comes to image quality. All this complements the latest audio standards, including Dolby Atmos, DTS: X and Windows Sonic.
And what besides games?
Xbox One X, like all Xbox ONE gaming consoles, running Windows 10. This means that you can install applications from the Microsoft Store. Not everyone, those whose creator decided to publish them and in the console version. Thus, there is no shortage of applications for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Showmax, YouTube or Spotify, although YouTube still does not support 4K and HDR.
This does not change the fact that we can easily reproduce multimedia from popular services in full quality and from the network (via network drives, NAS) or from memory connected via USB. In addition, the HDMI input on the gaming console allows you to connect a TV tuner, integrating it into the console interface. And let's not forget about the UHD Blu-ray player.
The new Microsoft Game Console also allows you to suspend the television signal and scroll through it (saves the last 20 minutes in the cache), and also writes in the video format for the last 30 seconds of the game with a resolution of 4 KB with HDR (more, only if you connect the outer memory). One X will broadcast TWITCH and MIXER games and place recorded clips on Xbox Live or YouTube. The prefix and our account may be controlled by remotely thanks to the Xbox application in Windows 10, Android and iOS.
Xbox One X - Maximum Games
Powerful PC owners will be right, refuting it. A well-configured PC connected to the pad and TV will probably offer more amenities and quality, because there are many supporters of games with mouse and keyboard, in comparison with the One X gamepad.
Nevertheless, you cannot underestimate the absolute carelessness and attention to each popular gaming console. And the Xbox One X is a console, where almost every game will work faster, and looks definitely better than other competitors, or they simply do not have them for other platforms.
Many games inaccessible on others include Halo Series, Gears Of War, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon, Quantum Break, Ori and others. Despite the fact that these exclusive production are most important for the console, marketing research confirm, we spend the most time on multi-platform games, such as Call of Duty, Battlefield and Grand Theft Auto Online. And Xbox One additionally allows players to be broadcast using a PC and switch.
All Xbox Accessories Compatible with Any Version
And yes, I know about the widespread opinion that Sony has the best exclusive games. Subjectively, I disagree, although Uncharted or Horizon Zero Dawn were great, and announced the continuation of the next generation of brilliant The Last of US, because of which I probably envy PlayStation owners. But, I am definitely more connected with a series of Microsoft devices, except as a statistical player, I eventually spend more time on multiplatform games.
Wolfenstein II, Assassin's Creed Origins and Middle-Earth: The Shadow of War stand in line for improvements over the next few weeks. Their creators, tormented by Microsoft for ONE X statements, confirm that these games will look more beautiful and act quickly on the Microsoft console.
I have another console, the one is considered to be game
I never understood such an approach, probably because I do not understand the Nintendo Switch phenomenon. In my opinion, the setting of games is very important. Maybe I don't like the mechanics (I have some favorite indie games), but the game setting definitely affects its strengths or weaknesses.
I know that there are things that I do not need to understand. And if the audiovisual setting is crucial for you is crucial in games, Xbox One X is a console that you can hardly treat. It is best to buy ONE S, while you will save on the package of class games.
One x will not offer you anything - with the exception of a shorter charging time, which gives advantages in another aspect. But, the One X console in comparison with one S unlocks thousands of graphic Ultra emotions. And since we decided that it doesn't matter for you, it makes no sense to overpay.
Xbox One X is a console in which there are more
In some items it will sound comical. For example, the sound startup sound, the two-channel conveyor is reproduced slightly faster than in one S, and the console light emits a sharper light (which is not an advantage, although it does not blind).
Xbox One x costs about 40,000 rubles. In turn, we get a TV with multimedia applications, a Blu-ray 4K player and the most powerful gaming console on the market, compatible with Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Xbox, with loyalty programs like Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Live Gold and EA Access. It also has a decent (free) database and exclusive games, a huge database of multiplatform games, which always work quickly and smoothly, in the most magnificent from audiovisual environments.
Is One X the best car on the market to play? Not. Since some of the subjective problems are not reflected here, for example, you like Sony or Nintendo games, I will not mention the convenience of the commuter console. However, looking objectively, excluding tastes and preferences - Xbox One x can have a competitor only in the form of a powerful PC. Ark: Survival Evolved developers have identified the practical performance of the new Microsoft console at the PC level using GTX 1070 and 16 GB of RAM.
After a week of use, Xbox One X was still a magic device for me. My new favorite toy, with which I try to spend most of my free time. I do not have absolutely no doubt: this console will not disappoint anyone. It is significantly ahead of competition in all respects, except for the price.
Outcome
I do not regret any ruble spent on the purchase of this gaming console. I would pay and more. I had huge hopes on the Xbox One X, and in the end they even exceeded expectations.
At the same time, it is only the beginning when game developers simply learn to use their strength, although I already feel sincere excitement. I really liked my One and One S, but I understand the legitimate criticism of these consoles. One x not only eliminates their shortcomings, but also opens up new opportunities for the creators with whom we will meet in the coming years.
There is definitely no better time than now to join the Xbox One family from Microsoft.
And it turned out that the performance of the consoles is comparable to PC for the same money that, in general, questioned the purchase of the console. Now a new king of consoles appears on the market - Xbox One X, where Microsoft promises a lot of more productivity than that of competitors (it comes, of course, about PS 4 Pro), but, alas, and the cost too higher competitors - on the PCT model It will be 40 thousand rubles. Console will be released on November 7, and it becomes interesting - maybe you should not wait for it, but simply collect for the same money the same on PC performance? Let's look.
Processor, motherboard and cooling system
The processor in the new console is almost known - this is an 8 core AMD with a frequency of 2.3 GHz (most likely on Zen architecture). Taking into account the fact that the nuclei para-triple as usual will be reserved under the system, and the frequency of 2.3 GHz is not particularly large - most likely the performance of such a CPU will be at the level of junior Ryzen, type 3,1200. In any case, we will collect PCs with a hook on The future, that is, with the possibility of overclocking, so the performance of the 4 core Ryzen with 3.5-4 GHz is exactly below the console CPU will not be.
It is most profitable to take the Box version, as there in the kit goes quite a good cooler, which can cope with the processor even in acceleration (thanks to the shock under the lid). But so that overclocking is possible, we need a motherboard on an accelerated chipset (about all AMD AM4 chipsets can be read). X370 will leave for extremals, and we will focus on B350, where acceleration is also possible. Motherboards on this chipset cost from 5 thousand rubles - I stopped at the ASRock AB350M with a simple radiator on the supply chains, so that there will be no problem with overheating with overclocking.
Video card
With the video card in xbox, everything is simple - it is built on the POLARIS architecture, has 40 CUs (computing blocks) and a frequency of about 1.2 GHz, and peak performance is 6 TFLOPS. The nearest competitor from the desktop mill is AMD RX 580, which has 36 Cu, but at a higher frequency (up to 1.4 GHz), while AMD says that its performance is up to 6.2 TFLOPS - suitable ideal. I chose a model with 4 GB of memory, and not 8 (why - just below, in the choice of RAM) - MSI RX 580 ARMOR 4G OC: 
RAM and drive
The console will be 12 GB GDDR5, which plays a role and RAM, and video memory. Taking into account the fact that a couple of gigabytes will be reserved by the system, then a gigabyte 10 will remain for the game, which will most likely share the row between RAM and video memory, that is, the GPU will get about 5 GB in the console - and therefore, no sense to overpay for 8 GB RX 580 . With RAM, too, everything is simple - taking into account the fact that Windows 2 GB of RAM will eat, the minimum required volume for our PC is about 8 GB (of course, in the future you can put more than). Since Ryzen processors are extremely positively reacting to RAM acceleration, it makes sense to take two 4 GB modules at a frequency of at least 2800 MHz - for example, Patriot Viper ELITE.
There are no problems with the drive: in the console there will be 1 TB HDD, and we will take the same amount (if you wish, you can take SSD on 80 GB and HDD to 500 - will go to a couple of thousands more expensive, but the system will be much more responsive. But we collect a PC similarly. Consoles, so no SSD, only HDD is only hardcore). Options in the hard drive market with 1 TB will be smaller than a few hundred, well, a good budget HDD can be considered Seagate Barracuda - it will take it.
Power supply and case
If you count how much our system is required with acceleration, we get about 300 watts. But it is better not to save on the BP, so let's look at the budget options with 500 W and the Bronze certificate - perhaps the most popular choice is Aerocool KCAS. Yes, it is noisy, but the 450 W is 12 in will be honest, so it is also with a good stock for this system.
On the body, of course, everything is individually, but once the console is a conventional rectangular globe - then we will not be accomplished with glasses and illumination, and take exactly the same black coffin - Exegate AA-323 Black.
Total cost and possible upgrade
So, the moment of truth - how much is such a PC? It turned out that a little more than 45 thousand rubles:
That is, the console at the start of sales will cost only 5 thousand rubles cheaper. Taking into account the fact that the games under it will cost more than under PCs, there will be no exclusive, too much (many games intended only for Xbox One, then went to the PC and even in Steam), and after a year and a half the components with The same productivity will be even cheaper, the question arises - and the meaning of Xbox One X? Microsoft clearly overstated the price: for 30 and even 35 thousand rubles, I think no question would have been - a PC with the same gland would cost more than one and a half times more expensive. But for 40 thousand rubles, many people are already thinking about the purchase of a game PC instead of "boxes".
But we will not be about sad, and let's go to the upgrade. Perhaps the very first thing to do is buy SSD. Of course, you can work and play on the hard disk, and it does not affect it on FPS, but the speed of working with the system will significantly increase when buying even the simplest SSD. The second is to increase RAM: 8 GB can now be considered a working minimum, it is better to fully fork out and take 16. Well, the further upgrade is essentially not: Ryzen 3, along with RX 580, it works fine, and to get significantly the best level, you need to take it already Ryzen 7 and GTX 1080 - Yes, the motherboard and BP will stand it, but the cost of such an upgrade will be a one and a half times higher than the cost of the entire current assembly.
With the original XBox One, Redmond Corporation made two serious miscalculations in key areas - engineering and marketing. The console was equipped with universal DDR3 memory with a capacity of 68.3 GB / s in a pair with high-speed 32 megabyte ESRAM buffer (204 GB / s). The PlayStation 4 was used fast GDDR5 (176 GB / s). Theoretically, the Xbox One scheme performs no worse, and in some tasks it even provides an advantage, but in practice, ESRAM multiplaminal developers have only created additional difficulties and eventually became a bottle neck that limits the performance of the entire system.
In addition, at the start of the Xbox One, the Kinect 2.0 movement controller was completed, which was positioned as a mandatory accessory. The solution was expensive by Microsoft: PlayStation 4 cost a hundred less ($ 399 against $ 499) that, with implicit advantages, Kinect made a choice for many millions of buyers obvious.
It was a serious blow. Microsoft did not recover from him until now - even the price reduction and the Sony responded at first PlayStation 4 Slim, and after a couple of months and PlayStation 4 Pro. The numbers will say more than any words: the current PS4 total supplies exceeded 67.5 million copies, while Microsoft has ceased to publish official data after November 2014. SUPERDATA estimates, about 33 million copies of Xbox One are sold.
Today, Xbox One X was available worldwide. She entered the game at a very difficult time when the corporation has no right to make an error. The most powerful console in history is an application for a fracture of the situation in favor of XBOX. And a very good application. So, proceed.
⇡ Contents of delivery
In the box, the XBox One X buyer, in addition to the console itself, will find the following:
- gamepad (with Bluetooth and 3.5 mm audiojack) and a pair of AA batteries;
- HDMI cable with a length of 2 m;
- power cable;
- instruction on launch;
- code for 14 days of Xbox Live Gold subscription;
- code for 1 month Xbox Game Pass.
Everyone who wanted to see the ELITE top controller, can roll the lip back - at the retail cost of the gamepad $ 150 and the price of the console itself $ 499 is unreal. But the PLAY & CHARGE KIT battery instead of one-time batteries could and put.
⇡ Beauty outside
Looks Xbox One X to become your ambitions. I and the appearance of the original Xbox One there were no complaints (and no, I'm not blind), but on the backdrop of the novelty the former "Vicker" seems to be a fun guest from the past. Yes, and without any comparisons of Xbox One X, it looks cool, with its strict straight lines and matte black plastic (alas, rather marked). A positive impression is only enhanced when you take a console in hand: an accurate and dense fit of the elements and considerable weight creates a sense of monolith.
⇡ Interfaces
On the front panel there is a power button, the target of the optical drive, an IR receiver, one USB connector and the mating button of the gamepads.
The side panels are generously littered with perforation for air intake - no connectors on them. All of them live on the back: nutrition, HDMI output, HDMI input, USB pair, IR blaster output, optical sound output S / P-DIF and Ethernet. Through the honeycombs under them looks for a massive radiator, through which hot air leaves out.
⇡ Iron inside
Xbox One x is positioned as a console capable of providing a 4k native resolution with a frequency of 60 frames / s. For this, Microsoft in collaboration with AMD has changed significantly and optimized the hardware platform. Engineers have made a lot of effort to reduce delays and speed up low-level interaction between console subsystems. The scale of the work done allowed the system-on-chip a new name - Scorpio Engine.
It carries 8 modified Jaguar cores operating at a frequency of 2.3 GHz. The frequency of the graphics processor operating 40 by computing blocks is 1172 MHz. A 12 GB of the GDDR5 memory (tire 384 bits and bandwidth 326 GB / s) lined around the crystal. From Esram refused. 4 GBs are reserved for the system, 8 GB are given to the deposit of game developers. For comparison: Xbox One and PS4 offer 5 GB, and in PS4 Pro, the volume affordable developers is 5.5 GB.
What to say here, just take a look at the plate below. Xbox One X is a really the most powerful console in the market.

What a huge xbox one seems to the background of "IKSA"!
Before launching Xbox One X, almost everything was known about it. Redmonds in the characteristics and hard work done with the hardware, listed over and preparing for the release of games and were actively cooperating with the "digital laboratory" Eurogamer, which was able to analyze the performance of various projects:, and many others. It remains only to tell about how all this lives.
⇡ Impression
Despite the fact that the Xbox One x is more compact and much more productive precursors, subjectively, it makes even less noise than Xbox One and PS4. I almost forgot to include this moment in the review, because only on the second day I caught myself thinking that I would not hear the console. In the menu it is absolutely silent, but it is worth starting Gears of War 4 or Forza Motorsport 7, working in a native 4K, as the only turbine, which is assigned to the heat removal task, is spinning. Silence is replaced by a rusting roe, which is clearly audible only when the (or very quiet) sound is turned off. In short, during the game sessions, this irritating factor is absent.
But another factor appears: the amount of downloaded games. High quality resources require a lot of disk space - prepare for long-lasting downloads. Many improvements with improvements for Xbox One X will "weigh" twice as much of what we are accustomed to in recent years. A few examples:
- Forza Motorsport 7: 95 GB;
- GEARS OF WAR 4: 103.3 GB;
- Halo 5: Guardians: 107 GB.
The hard drive for 1 TBA after such news seems completely tiny. Especially in the light of the fact that after the first launch, when it is not yet available on HDD, only 780.9 GB is available to the user.
There is nothing to say much about the Xbox One X software shell - it is a changeable, like chameleon. Since the launch of Xbox One in 2013, the interface has rebailed as many times that users have already come down from the account. Its iteration is quite convenient: by pressing the Xbox button on the gamepad opens the quick access menu to various sections (friends, settings, achievements, and so on), and on the digital showcase can now be filtering games with improvements for Xbox One X. Conclusion
Xbox One X has a lot with Elite controller. This is the top of the Xbox family, the incarnation of the brand strength and the product for enthusiasts who want to have the best iron on this generation. Support 4K and HDR, conjugate with the computing capabilities of Scorpio Engine, allow us to talk about the strength of strength before the arrival of the ninth generation systems. This is a powerful car with great potential, and it is expressed in specific names - here this link can be followed by the status of all games with the declared improvements for Xbox One X. The choice is huge, plus you should not forget that all games are not at all (and without stated optimizations) Will work faster - just due to increased productivity.
However, native 4k with 60 frames / s will submit not to all high-budget blockbusters - now such parameters can only provide some of the internal studios Microsoft, which thoroughly know the system from all sides. But not all - if Forza Motorsport 7 is honestly performed in 4K / 60 FPS, then the mentioned Gears of War 4 works either in 4K / 30 FPS or in 1080p / 60 FPS.
Nevertheless, the Xbox One X is the first real step of the gaming consoles towards the real 4K. Yes, and the question of the price in our territories is not so unequivocal: try for 40 thousand rubles to collect a computer that can cope with 4K / 30 FPS in demanding games. Only GTX 1070, issuing about the same level of graphics as SCORPIO Engine, will cost more than 30 thousand ...
For some time, Microsoft has taken a course on the rapprochement of Xbox and PC: in the Xbox One, the keyboard and mouse will soon be supported, and the Play Anywhere program is already available (when you buy one copy of the game, the keys on PC and Xbox One) are given. One corporation cannot be killed - crazy sales in Steam. But the rest of the Xbox One X looks an interesting alternative to the productive game computer for those who want to just buy, connect and play.
Thanks to the online store of computers and components"Comtek" For the provided LG 49SJ810V TV.
That Xbox One X is intended for gamersk "elite" - those who need 4K-resolution, high detail and stable 60 frames. This is exactly what explains the relatively high price for the prefix - 500 US dollars or 500 euros, depending on the region. Moreover, according to Mike Ibarra, Corporate Deputy President Xbox, can be compared with the Xbox One x can only a PC cost from 1.5 thousand dollars (about 87 thousand rubles).
We decided to check this statement, collecting the most similar to the functionality and performance of the game system from computer components.
Note: Further in the article, all prices are in dollars, since Xbox One X is compared with a computer for 1.5 thousand dollars, and the western prices for components do not always correspond to Russian. In addition, at the end of May of this year, the miners community of the whole world, very closely decided to update its farms for mining cryptocurrency, buying most of the mid-class and foremost video cards in all major stores. As a result, in Russia, the GeForce GTX 1070 level video card is very difficult to get cheaper than 40 thousand rubles. And in popular trading networks it is not at all and will not be up to the next sentence. In about the times and prices should normalize.
Video card
According to official characteristics, the performance of Xbox One X is about seven teraflops, of which exactly six falls on the graphics core. Inside the console there is a recycled Polaris chip, very similar to the fact that the standard Radeon RX 480. However, even its advanced version of RX 580 does not produce six teraflops. Most likely, the video card simply accelerates "from the plant".
We also need an option for at least six teraflops "out of the box" (as well as in the console). The Radeon Vega series video cards have not yet come out, which means only GeForce can satisfy us. For example, GTX 1070 from ASUS, which will cost $ 500. It is capable of issuing up to 6.4 teraflops.
CPU
At first glance, we need an eight-core processor with a frequency of 2.3 GHz. But do not forget that the consoles are made at all as computers. Such a "stone" will strongly limit the potential of our foremost video card. Yes, and for each processor kernel, the console accounts for only one stream (PC is usually two).
Therefore, we just take the most inexpensive no less than an eight-way model that will not cause the effect of the "bottle neck". According to Thebottlenecker.com, the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is already holding back the power of the GTX 1070 video and only 4% is an excellent result. It is worth this twelve-billing processor 200 dollars, and all comparable options from Intel will be much more expensive.
Motherboard
In the Motherboard of the Xbox One X, in addition to the graphics and processor nuclei, also high-quality audio chips, network card and Wi-Fi module. Therefore, we need to choose something as "charged". Moreover, the budget fee with a separate acceptable sound card will still be more expensive.
For the Ryzen platform, only "motherboards" on the X370 chipset are normally equipped. According to the requirements, ASUS Prime X370-Pro is most suitable for 170 dollars. It boasts an eight-channel audio codec S1220A - the latest development of Realtek, well adopted by most specialized publications. The wired connection here corresponds to the network chip from Intel, but there is no wireless communication.
Otherwise, there is no reason to sign the peculiarities of the motherboard of the motherboard. However, detailed characteristics are always on the official website of the manufacturer.
RAM
Even recently, with support for RAM at AMD Ryzen, everything was not very good: only modules with samsung chips were normally worked, high frequencies were required to disclose the potential, and the memory itself accelerated unpredictable. However, the other day a new BIOS update for maternal fees was published, and the situation improved significantly. Now you can choose, in principle, any RAM of any brand.
Take the memory of the most popular line - Kingston Hyperx Fury. 16 Gigabytes in the amount of two DDR4 straps with a frequency of 2666 MHz will cost $ 160. In the future, if desired, RAM will be dispersed to 3000+ MHz.
HDD
Even in the Xbox One x, a classic HDD drive volume in one terabyte is used. "Toleric" on the console apparently will be installed only in the ninth generation.
Everything is simple here: We take a folk pet - Western Digital WD10EZEX on one terabyte at a price of $ 50.
Power Supply
When "under the hood" is worth such power as GeForce GTX 1070, then the power supply is required. And it's not even in the amount of watt, but in reliability.
This time it is better to take ZM500-GVM by 500 watts from the same line - there is no need for silence due to the power reserve. Price: 50 dollars.
Housing
There is no need to "show off" with the case - we take the cheapest, where all the components fit. For example, the thermaltake V3 of the MIDI-Tower format will cost $ 40.
Blu-ray drive
Unfortunately, without a drive this time, do not do: on Xbox One X, as in some other consoles, you can watch movies on Blu-ray disks. For justice, you have to include it in the assembly.
The easiest option costs 40 dollars. This is the UH12NS40 Blu-Ray DVD Writer model from LG. Based on the name, you can guess that the multi-birthbate drives it can not only read, but also overwrite.
The final value of the "clone" Xbox One X
TOTAL: 1170 dollars (approximately 67.8 thousand rubles at the current course).
We still managed to collect a game system cheaper than $ 1,500, but the amount still turned twice as much as the price of Xbox One X. It is still that Microsoft representatives told the truth that "there is no more successful proposal than Xbox One X with her The ratio of prices and technical characteristics. "
Will 4K pull?
we studied A number of tests in 4K-resolution with a bunch of GeForce GTX 1070 + Ryzen 5 1600:
- Grand Theft AUTO 5 - 50 FPS;
- Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor - 60 FPS;
- Battlefield 1 - 55 FPS;
- Assassin's Creed: Syndicate - 45 FPS;
- Rise of the Tomb Raider - 45 FPS.
Note that a comfortable frequency of personnel at such a resolution in most cases can be achieved only on standard "high" graphics settings and without smoothing. However, in the 4K resolution, the latter is still practically not required due to the high density of pixels, and on consoles almost never used the quality of graphics comparable to computer "ultra".
