No, no it wouldn't. A 600 dollar GPU these days is a 3060ti which is rather unfortunate.

The Xbox Series X and PS5 are phenomenal pieces of hardware that are pushing the limits of consumer goods. Both support 4k 120hz and HDMI 2.1, free sync and much more.

Instant on, fast resume, keyboard/mouse, controllers, they're a hell of a bargain.

The Xbox One is older than the 1070 and cost much less and still is supported to this day.

Are those running max setting 4k 120hz? Because a 3060ti even now under the rather ridiculous prices can handle that at medium on a lot of games. I'm legitimately asking, I'll probably pick up a PS5 when the world is more sane so I haven't looked into the latest generation just comparing my experience with the previous generation of consoles vs my pc.
Yes...

I have the Xbox Series X and just got a LG OLED 55" tv and it's all running at 120hz with freesync, HDR and looks beautiful.

I have a regular 3060 i scored from newegg and it can't keep up with with the XSX does... my 3060 cost 499 and my XSX cost 499...

PS5/XSX is extreme value right now... and to be honest, the 0% pay 31/month deal is stupid easy and affordable to jump in - much easier than paying scalping rates or hoping for lotto slots from vendors just to buy a video card.

I got a PS5 through playstation direct as well when they do their lottos, but i'm a fan of gamepass so i sold the ps5 to a friend at retail cost.
