That is INSANE! wtf?
That depends on what you consider "surviving". To run next gen games on high you may survive with 2 years on those specs max.

So, based on the specs I'm wondering if my computer will (or at least should) be okay to survive next gen.

Tanks suck, do the comparison with jet fighters!
giga = billion flop = floating point operation
basically it just tells us how much math it can do.
Its not insane at all, the wiiu is around the power of xbox360/ps3 so 7 years on its just natural progression
What happens when you connect Durango's HDMI OUT to its HDMI IN:
The xbox could talk to itself and become self aware nothing to worry about

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
What was Nintendo thinking. I guess the thought was the Wii sold a crapton and they were ages behind so take 2?

I know. But considering the fact that Jaguar are low power cores I didn't expect the difference to be that massive.

Wasn't the F-22 kind of botched and the software is really buggy?

correcting with the last "compute unit" rumor.
What happens when you connect Durango's HDMI OUT to its HDMI IN:
to be honest with you...I was wondering what would happen if you connected one Durango into another....with the other one into the T.V.
maybe a hacked version with the second one can add rendering enhancements. 60fps for 30fps games.
jk here.....but I'm sure there are some who would not mind buying 2 Durangos if they can get 60fps or higher enhancements if it were possible.

Well... I don't necessairly need everything on high, but it should be up to "console quality" right?
That is one nice rumor. I wish it was true.

Tigers broke down at an embarrasingly high rate as well
worthless gearbox, same goes for king tigers. + the sides of king tiger were made of wet paper towels.Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Because if there's one thing the current generation taught us, it's that power is what matters.
Seriously, though, this looks fantastic. If Kinect 2.0 is what I think/hope, I'll be there day one.

There's a plane named Pak-fa? How cool is that? You could totally pick up a hottie with the Pak Fa line.
PC: Tsar Bomba
Durango: Little boy
Orbis: Fat man
Wii U: Foab
hmm how bout second gen MMOS with all settings on High list!:
Orbis: EQ2
Durango: Vanguard
Wii U: WoW?
Oh holy fuck. I knew Nintendo cheaped out on the CPU but didn't realize it was that much.

By the way, my comment about a 680 GTX was not joke.Its like MS was saying Xbox 720 GPU would perform thanks to customizations.

Eurogamer totally got that one wrong. It's extra scalar ALUs on some of the CUs.
PC: Tsar Bomba
Durango: Little boy
Orbis: Fat man
Wii U: Foab
I looked up fat man and little boy. I had forgotten that they were actually used (I forgot the names). Pity myself for googling it.

It's really hard to say. It seems like 1080p will be the new 720p of this gen. The baseline for pc games will definitely be moved up but how much is tough to say. I think your specs will be good enough for a couple years. I would personally wait a little bit before upgrading.

Understood and very possible as far as the priorities comment goes
I hate the idea of all my downloadable content not being forward compatible , in fact if that's the case I may not buy either new system and no I'm not going to keep old system plugged into my limited 5 HDMI ports or let them sit in a closet for future use because it'll never happen.
I just don't see how they got it to work from Xbox1 to 360 but it's SOOOOOO far out of the realm of possibility with 360>720
For me no BC(for downloadable games) no buy as far as the next Xbox goes...........with PS4 I'll be on the fence for awhile after launch.....maybe I'll just stick with gaming on the go with my iOS tablet\phone.
Its not the speed but what it can do in each cycle (ie modern cpu designs are much more efficient for each clock cycle)
Performance gains from that?

Got another one:
Pc: 100hz crt
Orbis: TN panel
Durango : VA panel
Wii u : etch a sketch.
Pc: 100hz crt
Orbis: TN panel
Durango : VA panel
Wii u : etch a sketch.
for those who don't get it : crt= uncompromising glory, TN panel = gamer's compromise, VA = good tv viewing angles, input lag and blur out the ass
The clock speed of my current laptop is half that of my previous one but is much more powerful (combination of a more efficient cpu for each clock cycle and more cores)
Pak Fa is way too close to the F22 in performance for this to work

Well,not as good as the other version as you will retrain gpu cycles to help in physics...

Already counted in the 1.84 teraflops figure.
That's what Russia wants you to believe.
That's ok then for the time being. Till a year later when the PC hardware differences will actually make a difference above the closed platform optimisations of the consoles.

Yeah for sure, I'm hoping to squeeze a few years out of this machine. This will be the first time I'm even able to run next gen games when these machines come out. I remember my comp back in 2005 getting reamed by FEAR, so I'm in a better position now!

I laughed much harder at this then I should have.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This is insane. I have been predicting that Nintendo wanted the Wii U to be a "stopgap" system where they release a hybrid console/hybrid in about 4-5 years to somewhat sandwich themselves halfway between the other MS/Sony consoles, but this is WAY behind where I thought they'd be at this point.

So you're saying that the pc is a irrelevant white elephant?

I'm not sure whether to be impressed with my own relatively cheap rig or disappointed with Durango and eventually the Orbis being only slightly more powerful with something I already own.
Probably the former since games are going to be especially tailored towards the Durango and the Orbis' specs so will still look better than anything else on the market.

Yeah but imagine how much better the gameplay will be on Wii U with that much poorer graphical performance.
