PC VS NVIDIA SHIELD what is the best ? - ckf92 - 05-14-2019

Hello, i would like to play on 2160p (or 1080p if 2160p is utopia) gamecube games like wave race, luigi's mansion, resident evil ..... with higher best looking.

What is the best hardware between nvidia shield and PC : i5 8500T, intel UHD 630, 16 go DDR4 2666.

Thank you in advance.

I don't think you'll be able to put your resolution that high without at least a budget-mid range GPU, 1080p will probably be fine tho.

PC's are almost always going to be better than android, I wouldn't call it useless though, depending on what you want to play.

i thought Nvidia SHield GPU tegra x1 would be better than INTEL UHD630 GPU

Well, you´re comparing desktop hardware with mobile hardware. It´s pretty obvious that mobile hardware will have more constraints.

No, the uhd630 will probably be a *lot* faster. It doesn't have quite the same hard power and area restrictions a mobile chip has to fit, and paired with a *much* more powerful CPU will likely help blow past any possible driver differences.
