Can we speak in standard units of measurement for videogame consoles? How many gamecubes duct taped together would this be?

If it can run Watch Dogs as it was shown at E3 then 599 it is.

Not like that really matters to console makers since it does not cost half as much .
Still that card would use to much power and heat .

lol, no. Considering the power requirement and heat generated, a 7970 in console size box is practically impossible

At 120 FPS and while shooting the finger at you, probably. If it were true.
Indeed. For it to be a tahiti based gpu in that range it would have to be a 7850 likely.
And going with Steamroller for the CPU would be pretty odd. AMD has all but admitted defeat in CPU for the high end

Still a $300 video card is outrageous and silly. Especially considering they have to incorporate it into the motherboard, and not just plugging it in.

Thanks for the clarification, everything suddenly seems very probable, and at a reasonable price.

If this is true (more than 7850 but less than 7870 level of performance) PS4 may have the better GPU than X720, Xbox will probably have a faster or more customized CPU this time around, and almost definitely more memory, even if Sony goes up to 4, which they really should.

yeah i know more than price it would be a power and heat issue .
The 7850 is pitcairn. Only 7970 and 7950 are tahiti.
Then don't read them.
That pretty much kills the rumor then. 7950 at the 800mhz clock is pushing almost 3000GFLOPs and of course the 7970 is pushing almost 4000

Not if they build the case out of aluminum and submerge the entire thing in water.

4gb of RAM please.
RAM is so important.
RAM is so important.
Calm down. Calm down.
Even if we ignore the cost (five hundred and ninety nine US dollars) , this GPU has a 230 W TDP... That would be fun on a console.
For reference, the whole PS3 used about 200 W back at launch.

But can it run Crysis?

why is ATI winning all these designs?

I don't know man, it's possible. I mean, I know that I'll be able to experience 4D soon enough and it has to get there somehow. If anything, modern science should allow me to live to be at least ~800 years old so it's really just a matter of time. Why not sooner than later?
I'm not even worried about this. They will do 4GB in the end.

1840GFlops is for the GPU that's in the APU
Probably because they give more favorable conditions in IP licencing than Intel or NV would be willing to.

I don't know that it's THAT unrealistic that they'd use a current top of the line video card given that the console probably won't launch for over a year, maybe a year and a half. Prices on it would probably comedown pretty far in that time span. Since they're bundling an AMD CPU and GPU they're probably getting a pretty good deal for the package, if it' true.

Almost every 'rumour' (as in, coming from the developers with devkit access, so not really a rumour) has matched what this post described. Steamroller CPU, ~1.7-1.8GFlop GPU, 2GB of unified RAM. That's almost assuredly what the devkit is right now, or was a few months ago. For Xbox, it's supposed to be a weaker GPU, much more memory (4-6GB) and CPU with more cores, but different architecture.
No, I really doubt that.
