PS4 essentially get a low end GPU how do you feel about that?

[michaelmk86]

No, I think 7850 is the best card that we could expect based on 1) Price 2) power consumption (seriously you think they are going to put a 250 watt 7970 in a ps4? The xbox 360 had a tdp (original) or around 200 watts and had lots of overheating problems. No one seems to get this.)

Also, do you think every pc gamer has a 7850+? The average gpu in the average gamer's system is well below a 7850 (which in the ps4 will be a nice bump up).

If anything, I think the cpu is more worrying. 8 core bobcat is really not that powerful, especially when you consider the processing power kinect/move will require, not to mention that the new console OS will be much heavier than the current ones. I'm more worried about physics and AI, destructible environments, and realism suffering.

Honestly, the ps4 will hold back pc games much less (relatively speaking) than the xbox 360 or ps3 ever did for a couple reasons. First the similar cpu/gpu architectures which will make porting (and adding pc exclusive features like higher textures, AA, and other visual effects much easier).

Not to mention that they will be able to get much better results out of a console than a pc because they can directly code for it. I expect that the gpu in the ps4 will be able to output 7970 quality graphics

indeed the x86 architectures will be good thing for both ps4 and pc, but what i am saying is that the xbox 360 back then it was essentially a high end pc(more or less), this is not the case with the ps4 now.

I disagree. Back in 2005-2006 there were PC's much faster than xbox 360 so...I don't know why I always have to find these kind of topics around the net. PS4 is to PC's as the PS2 was and also the PS3/360 were, nothing more to say.

January 2004 - 22 months before xbox release there wasn't a GPU setup that could even come close to the xbox performance.
November 2005 - xbox released. (still thee is no pc gpu can beat the xbox gpu)

January 2012 - released a single GPU (HD7970GHz) that performs 2 times better than ps4 GPU.
November 2013 - ps4 released. (22 months late and half the performance).

Can you guys stop sweating that your pc won't be as good as the new consoles and calling them "low end pc's" because you can't admit you're going to be second best. maybe if you climbed out of your own arses you could see the disadvantages of next gen and make a decent argument. Can you multiscreen on console? no. can you upgrade your console? no. Just think of all the things a pc has that console doesn't. Your mate comes and brags about his next gen, just open up Microsoft word, can he do that? no xD

are you saying pc gamers are going to be second best or console gamers going to be second best

Dude Sony and Microsoft are just hyping you up. When the next gen consoles are released, they still are pieces of junk.

only a pc pirate freak gamer would say that-- the console totally destroy pc because of unpirate most devoloper will leave pc if you try to learn a moronic pc gamer to stop pirating he even is proud of it.. optimazion an example is the ps3 ram 256 mb ram plays bf3 pc 256 ram cant even start up without 10 second freezes they should stop making pcs and rip kids like you of just do a console every 2 years for pure optimazion so you don't waste your money and a pc is impossible and uncompatible with a big tv in the living room the only conroller dashboard it can get is the shitty steam one that only includes steam features and has 0 multimedia feature you will always need your keyboard mouse and need to adjust the size of all because on a big tv you wont see text the xbox one destroys the pc when it comes to the big tv you can voice control while gaming record with one word etc pc won't have this in 20 years

It was a pointless thread 8 months ago and it's a pointless thread now. You cannot compare console gaming to PC gaming.

Consoles are going to die pretty soon anyway. With the new manufacturing processes eventually devices like an iPhone will be able to provide a good gaming experience and eventually will undermine consoles. This may be the last generation of consoles and if you don't believe me just look up diminishing returns.

Extra: The guy that bought the gaming desktop is a complete moron. If you don't understand PC hardware then go back to your xboner or playdildo 4
