comparing PS4 graphics to PC graphics on next gen games

[caseybrunet]

I keep reading about the high level of VRAM required by a PC to run next gen games on ULTRA graphics such as Shadow of Mordor and The Evil Within (Both of which I plan on playing). I have a GTX 780 (3 GB VRAM) with the i7 4820K so it know I will play both games just fine but how will the PC graphics compare with the PS4? I have a strong suspicion that PS4 is not pushing ultra graphics, so playing on the PC at high or even medium high graphics should look better than the PS4, correct?

Absolutely. The Ultra textures are completely bs unless you have a 4K monitor and at 1080p, you won't even be able to see the difference in Shadow of Mordor.
The Evil Within has very wierd system requirements even though it looks like a 2011/12 game, so don't worry, you'll max both of these games no problem.

I think the PS4 can probably run most games on med-high.

Ultra is pushing it ... esp with AA turned on.

There are some more recent games with comparisons. I saw one with Mordor.

PS- I was getting like 50+ FPS using a 7970, so your 780 will be fine for Mordor.

I would have to agree with the Ultra textures not really making a difference.

I downloaded the 10gb file... not worth it. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between screenshots on 1080p.

True! The next gen wasn't so next gen after all! Even AC:Unity is going to be 900p 30fps on both the potatoes!
Glad to be a part of the master race!
