Is a gtx 1070 more powerful than the Xbox one X?

[Turbo_Blitz]

I am curious about this.

You're not being beat by it. Your system is simply more capable.

The only thing it can do and yours can't is running 4k blu-rays.

1070 is better. Console games do a lot of tricks to allow a stable framerate (30FPS lock, tons of blur)

But note that often there is also difference between a laptop and desktop version of the same hardware - the desktop is always better.
If you really want stay on top, get a proper gaming desktop.

Yeah that's pretty much the same as the desktop, seeing as you have a desktop GPU, might be clocked a bit lower for temps, but it's the same GPU unlike previous generations.
Even a 1080ti will struggle to get 60fps at max in alot of modern games, as others have said the new console's use tricks and are rarely at a full 4k, when it is, it's in easy to run games like corridor shooters, racing games and e-sport titles, even then, the games are usually a mix of medium and high settings and comparing the pc version next to the console shows the difference.

A PC can run it too hands down.

He has a laptop so no, it can't.

You either need a desktop with a 4k BD reader, or an Xbox / 4k blu-ray player in order to watch UHD blu-rays.

It has a 4k display, with a external reader he can.
But why blue ray?
Just put on a flash drive or download, no reason in 2018 to put cd to run movies.

Well the laptop can't, but the external drive can, yes.

Blu-ray because it's legit and offers far superior quality over what you'd download / stream from the Internet.

Yeah,now I've actually got a good 4k TV I am actually tempted to get a blu ray player just to really get the most out of the screen, you sad Xbox, can PS4/pro no longer play blu rays? As I was looking to get one for the new granturismo.

[Mossy Snake]

No, it is not. The XboneX's GPU is closer to an RX 550/460 than anything

[John Doe]

Last I checked, the PS4 Pro couldn't play 4k blu-rays. Due to some licensing issues.

I bought myself an Xbox One S last month for UHD blu-ray playback.

Yeah, just looked into it, they didn't spec a 4k uhd blu ray player to try and keep the cost down, kind of strange given how Sony championed blu ray over hd dvd a few years back.

Guess I'll just have to add a uhd blu ray player when I do my htpc update in a month or two, as I have no need for an Xbox, but a PS4 has some games I want to try.

Quit obsessing over 4k and whether your laptop beats a console, neither matter. As long as the machine plays the games you want at the visual fidelity level you want, who cares. The only card that can do 4k/60fps is a 1080 Ti, and you would be better off with a desktop for PC gaming instead of a laptop.

[Big Boom Boom]

Even the GTX 1080 Ti gets a lot of compromise to run 4K 60fps. There's only one true 4K card atm and it alone costs more than your laptop.
