No... no it won't catch up in terms of graphical power. Mem. Bandwidth is too low for high res gaming (1080p and up). The cores on the GPU (mind you they both have the exact same make-up/GCN arch.) are 12 shader blocks compared to the PS4s 18.
That's a pretty big difference.
Stop spinning the facts, Avalanche.
We just had a Avalanche studio state that the PS4 is powerful but the Xbox One will catch up to it... when the GPU only has 33% of the PS4's shader cores.
Like I said earlier, PR stays on a payroll and they'll spout non-sense to gain a sale. This is pretty much no different.
Anyone who had a Nvidia 8800 GT or better was absolutely fine for this entire gen. If you mocked the console settings, you got the same frame rate (or better) of the PS3 version of *insert game here*.
Those who say "PC has to keep upgrading" are only referring to a myth generated by uneducated people. The beauty of PC is choice while the beauty of console is convenience.
Mainstream media is on a payroll. They always have been and they will, more than likely, always will be.
If that is indeed the GPU MS is packing, we're gonna have a noticable difference between graphical quality on multiplat games.
Its missing too many shaders/texture units to even compete. If they're using a unified memory set-up with DDR3, the difference is even bigger as 1080p gaming pretty much needs fast memory to avoid bottlenecks.
The GPU in the XBO is closer to the AMD 7770 (probably clocked a little lower too but with slightly more cores) while...
I've bought the original Xbox and the 360 but this is just stupid. I'll be passing on this one MS if this is true. So disappointed.
Looks awesome. Hopefully the D-Pad issue is fixed this time.
This "Spec" reveal doesn't reveal anything. We don't know the type of RAM it is, whether the system ram is DDR3 and the vram is GDDR5 or is it completely unified. GPU specs were completely left out. CPU specs were left out as well.
Since it's rumored the OS is to be based off of the windows 8 kernel, I'm assuming RAM will be split.
Hopefully more info comes up soon.
So why is it being sold on current-gen consoles? Some weird PR going on here.
The author is reading too much into it.
It's a simple slogan that advertises the product. It's not that serious.
The parts they're using aren't terribly expensive aside from a big GDDR5 RAM pool and blu-ray isn't nearly as expensive as it used to be. They should easily break even.
It'll probably be going for $400 retail.
Who says you're limited to just one system?
Pick what you like. I just happen to like the PC/PS3 combo so I went with it. Simple as that.
What in gods name made this mother buy her 13 year old son a gun. Not only that, she bought her 13 year old son a mature rated game. Not saying it's her fault but she made some pretty unwise choices from a parenting point of view.
The original PS Store was fine. I'm not sure why it warranted any sort of change. It was the easiest store to navigate compared to 360 and Wii in my opinion.
I personally hope this move keeps AMD out of the red. The last thing we need is a single GPU/CPU vendor for console and PCs.
People who pay premium should not have to deal with even seeing dominoes' new pizza for $10.99 in the corner of their screen. Not only that, Axe has a nice little video box for you to accidentally scroll over to enable the abrupt sound of the ad.
Save all that for the silver members. Keep it off my dashboard if I'm paying.
While not going into full detail, I'm right. See: lower clocked I5s beating AMD fx series cpus.
Architecture does mean more, and I wasn't siding with PC or console. Fact is, AMDs mobile APUs suck at compute performance no matter the clock (PS4 is using a mobile APU). If AMD hasn't created a better set up then compute performance (Unique AI and Physics) will be bad no matter what the clock is.
This is why I said the make up of the CPU normally i...
Exclusives are most certainly important. Alan Wake, Mass Effect and Ninja Gaiden were my reasons for owning Xbox. I still have my Xbox but those exclusives all went multi plat. ME and NG went to PS3 and Alan Wake went to PC. I can't get Uncharted or anything ND anywhere else. Just as people can't get Halo anywhere else.
Losing exclusives devalues the reason for my purchase. Gaining them makes the buy that much more enticing for consumers.
It won't be as good as the Titan. It's on the same core, yes, but Nvidia will likely laser off or disable shader blocks and then sell it at a lower price. Nvidia's refreshes are normally 10%~20% performance increases from previous gen.
Look up benchmarks for the Radeon 7770(XBO) and compare it to the 7850(PS4). See which one comes up on top. Now bog down the 7770 for working on unified DDR3 RAM since it will be an obvious bottleneck if you know anything about computers and memory bandwidth.
Unless I'm presented with an updated spec sheet for the XBO, this is the case.
There is no such thing as magic in computing. Deal with it.
