Ever since we first set eyes on Xbox Series S, we've been flabbergasted by how small the system is! Seriously, we know the Xbox Series X is large by normal console standards, but that doesn't take away from how tiny Microsoft's all-digital system actually proves. And yet, this new revelation doing the rounds on Twitter has surprised us once again!
Folks are starting to compare the Xbox Series S to Nvidia's new RTX 4090 graphics card, and the two devices are incredibly similar in size. Sure, it's hard to judge the overall size and depth of the pair via a static image, but still, look at these two sat next to each other!
It's not just the Series S that's being compared to the huge GPU either. The other images in the tweet below place the RTX 4090 alongside the likes of a Xbox Series X, PS5 and even a Steam Deck, just to get even more perspective on how some modern consoles to stack up to what is just a component after all; not even a full system!
Regardless of its overall size, the Xbox Series S packs some serious punch, especially considering its price point (which is a damn sight cheaper than the RTX 4090 might we add). Here's what it can do when unleashed on some backwards compatible titles:
Is this console tiny or is that just one giant GPU? Let us know down in the comments!

And it costs a LOT more than a Series S too. It probably has more RAM and a larger chip at its core. I don't know how much more 'powerful' it is in terms of Tflops for 'standard' rasterization, let alone the RT/AI cores etc.
A Series S is 'bigger' than a Switch that packs in a console, controller and a display into one package so is this that surprising?
Wow, I've never seen an S in the flesh and hadn't realised how small it was compared to the deck. Got my deck on the table beside me and can't get my head around it!
All that power...
And will still suffer bad frame pacing, like all PC's do.
Consoles may not have the fps or resolution of a powerful PC, but they absolutely dominate all PC's when it comes to supplying steady frames.
It is certainly huge but it’s just a touch bigger than the 3090 Ti I reckon. Gotta get my hands on that bad boy either way. Hopefully they won’t sell out as quick this time.
But.... Can it play Crysis? In 8K, that is 🙂
That's a beast of a card, and a price to match at £1670 😱
Unless you need all this power for work (where it'd hopefully pay for itself in productivity gains) I can't see how you're getting value for money here. Particularly when you'd need equally expensive other components to match it.
Now there's a glut of used cards back in the market buy one of those and save your money.
Keep my 3080ti or trade it in for this 🤔
No wonder I am no longer interested in desktop PC's, it's just gotten ridiculous with how big and excessive these things are.
@Dsswoosh Really gonna say that nonsense when stuff like bloodborne exists on consoles.
@AverageGamer Yes. Consoles dominate PC's when it comes to frame pacing.
I stand firmly by my statement.
