I am wondering how much more gaming performance(fps, resolution and detail level ect) than ps4 and xbone... I want to know how much better my system preformance in games not just raw power...

my specs are

gtx 960
fx-6300 oc'd to 3.8 ghz
8 gigs ddr3
7200 rpm 1 T HHD

Comparing gaming PC performance to consoles is kind of a moot point. Games for PC are optimized differently from console games, so comparing how your PC would perform relative to a console is difficult to quantify.

tea urchin :

When you say a little more graphics performance do you mean like 25%, 50%, 15% ect?

Consoles are able to get by with inferior hardware because programmers know exactly what hardware they are coding for. Sure, Pc's should have at least as much processing power and graphical capabilities, but games for the Pc market are coded for the lowest common denominator hardware-wise. So while you can turn up all the eye-candy on the Pc, the console doesn't look near as bad as it should because the programmers eke out every trick they know about to gain FPS.

The cpu in an xbox 1 or ps4 is an 8 core A.M.D. FX CPU running at about 1/3rd impulse.
1.6 or 1.7 gig depending. There IS no excuse anymore, its an x86 based cpu that runs pc code. Its an Advanced Micro Devices computer processor,about 4 years old. Full Stop. Bought from the fail bin at a.m.d. with a bulk discount.
Excuses are out the window,as is B/S about how developers will 'get the hang of it later'.
Its a faffing pc for Cheeses sake. There are no 'Tricks' . Its just a laptop esq pc.
Get by's in the past generally meant dumbing a game and the graphics down to the dribbling idiot level and chucking in a couple of explosions. Works for football fans.
Put another way, people who played a game on a play station were shocked if they played it on pc.
Frankly,I am not sure they are ready for it so leave em dribbling in front of EastEnders.

will this mean console gaming will slowly go away and Microsoft and sonny will have steam type things on pc?

You're reading into the comparison between a console and a PC far too much. You have to understand that the way games are coded for consoles and PCs differs significantly and it's not an apples to apples comparison. As has already been pointed out, console games are written for a singular platform and therefore developers can focus on optimizing their games to a single, consistent type of hardware, whereas PC games have to be coded to make them most compatible across thousands of different types of PC builds.

In terms of raw performance, computer hardware is far more powerful than a console, but it's not as easy to quantify it as simply as saying well, because I have a more powerful CPU or graphics card, I should therefore get better performance than a console; so many factors come into play, like the level of graphics details, playable resolution, graphics card driver optimizations, CPU optimizations and so on. You can have the most powerful computer there is, but if a game lacks optimizations or isn't coded to take advantage of more powerful hardware, then it won't necessarily run very smoothly. Meanwhile, the console version of that same game might run circles around that top of the line PC in terms of gameplay just because it's better optimized for the type of hardware it's running on.

PC's typically have higher graphical settings, higher resolutions and usually are expected to run at nearly double the FPS.

Because the settings they give are not available in the console versions of games, it is hard to say what PC setting is comparable. Medium to high settings, when ultra settings exist on a PC, is likely where the new console versions currently reside, and they typically run at 30 FPS.

Yes, consoles will always get a little more performance out of the same hardware that a PC has, but that gap may be shrinking, especially when DX 12 starts getting used.

You can't just say a PC is X% faster, but most $600+ PC's are capable of at least the same power or more than a console. High end PC's are doing a lot more, often asked to play at 60-144 FPS compared to 30 FPS, at resolutions up to 4k, instead of 720p to 1080p.
