[The Omega Man]

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

[Mama Robotnik]

going by the specs, i'd say it's orange times more powerful.

Bravo.

[dummydecoy]

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

[gundamkyoukai]

let's just say the GPU retails for $550.

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 .

[iamblades]

450 watt PSU?

This shit is never going to happen...

[Strike]

Highly doubtful that this is even remotely true, but at least it's more plausible than the last batch of rumors from that spec sheet.

[toastyToast]

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

[Fancy Corndog]

But...it'll be able to run Agni's Philosophy?

At 120 FPS and while shooting the finger at you, probably. If it were true.

[raven777]

I highly doubt this is possible.

But I want PS4 to be really powerful

[antonz]

Topic starter is mistakenly claiming that, but the post he's quoting isn't. It just says that chip from Tahiti family is in PS4 and 7970 is Tahiti family as well. Misleading but not incorrect.

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

[Notrollious]

Not like that really matters to console makers since it does not cost half as much .

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.

[Solid_Rain]

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

[Ein Bear]

Enough of this stupid techno mumbo jumbo.

Tell me how many Gamecubes taped together it is.

[snesfreak]

I don't find this likely at all.

[jimmythepage]

At 120 FPS and while shooting the finger at you, probably. If it were true.

So that means 3D at 60 fps by Sony standards ( :( )

[Durante]

But...it'll be able to run Agni's Philosophy?

This thing? Sure.

At 120 FPS and while shooting the finger at you, probably. If it were true.

Not really that easily, even if it were true :P

[Lord Error]

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.

[Nonoriri]

[jett]

come on son, don't post questionable news stories from a website that is in a language you don't even understand.

[gundamkyoukai]

yeah i know more than price it would be a power and heat issue .

[iamblades]

The 7850 is pitcairn. Only 7970 and 7950 are tahiti.

[2+2=5]

I'm sick and tired of being trolled by an incredible amount of uncontrolled rumors.

[Jarmel]

I'm sick and tired of being trolled by an incredible amount of uncontrolled rumors.

Then don't read them.

[elfinke]

Liverpool are in Europa league, hence, they are in Europe.

LolEuropa. Snicker.

Those specs are a Kop out.

Bravo.

[antonz]

The 7850 is pitcairn. Only 7970 and 7950 at tahiti.

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

[Deadstar]

I would easily pay $599. If it lasts 6+ years who cares. Bring me the most expensive console!

[ASTROID2]

Sony overpowering again. *sigh* I was hoping they would do something different. I hope this isn't true.

[odd_morsel]

YNWA Sony! Come on you reds! Give us a good system

[everthustodeadbeats]

The 7850 is pitcairn. Only 7970 and 7950 at tahiti.

This new console will allow me to be Fletcher Christian.

[Wilbur]

What a shit name

[weekend_warrior]

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

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

[Alex]

Some of you people are going to be extremely sad if this is really the kind of hardware you're expecting.

[everthustodeadbeats]

LolEuropa. Snicker. Bravo.

Don't be a bellend.

Oops, too late.

[Ether_Snake]

4gb of RAM please.

RAM is so important.

[Busty]

Liverpool? That can't be good.

Calm down. Calm down.

[MDX]

Eh, sounds like too much and (can anyone provide older info from PS3 / PS2 for reference?) those code names don't sound real.

[2MF]

let's just say the GPU retails for $550.

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.

[JJDinomite]

But can it run Crysis?

[Digishine]

psx-sense is a fan blog site. They already came up with news that ended up lies.

[USC-fan]

Sony overpowering again. *sigh* I was hoping they would do something different. I hope this isn't true.

*sign* it is so terrible.

NOT!

[Technosteve]

why is ATI winning all these designs?

[EloquentM]

In a console sized box you could cook your hotdogs on the ps4 with this gpu =}

[Fancy Corndog]

Some of you people are going to be extremely sad if this is really the kind of hardware you're expecting.

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?

[Man]

4gb of RAM please. RAM is so important.

I'm not even worried about this. They will do 4GB in the end.

[iamshadowlark]

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.

It doesn't cost near $300.

[onQ123]

That's not 7970. 7970 is roughly 2x more than 1840GFlops I think. This is more like 7850 or 7870 if correct.

1840GFlops is for the GPU that's in the APU

[Durante]

why is ATI winning all these designs?

Probably because they give more favorable conditions in IP licencing than Intel or NV would be willing to.

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

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.

[Tom Penny]

8 gig of Ram or Bust.

[Lord Error]

Some of you people are going to be extremely sad if this is really the kind of hardware you're expecting.

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.

1840GFlops is for the GPU that's in the APU

No, I really doubt that.
