I thought we have got past the notion that a game on a console and game on a pc run at the same performance ratio.

you will get a lot more performance out of a console with the same hardware any day of the week.

These comparisons are silly.

Oh god, here we go again.

Let me pre-cap the thread:
- salty
- console optimization
- to the metal
- carmack
- overhead
- $3000 PCs

Did I miss anything?

I think you forgot to add "do not".

 

[Kaako]

How would NVIDIA know the exact specs of the 720?

quote the whole sentence and then it makes sense.

8GB GDDR5. the most important thing for console hardware according to Sony fans.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

And?

yeah. it begins with 8, ends with everyone wanting to kill themselves.

 

[onQ123]

They have that Xbox 720 alot lower than the PS4 but are they going by the rumors are do they know something?

 

[Espada]

How would NVIDIA know the exact specs of the 720?

That's my question. They aren't in any position to know what's inside Microsoft's console.

 

[Striek]

How would NVIDIA know the exact specs of the 720?

Looks like they just used the 1.23 TFLOP figure going by the slide.

But really this is some "no shit" level stuff.

Titan is 999 United States Dollars.

PS4 will be like 399 with cpu, ram, mobo, case, controller etc.

One would hope Titan would be more powerful.

 

[cancerdancer]

But you know what I love about consoles now that I'm not 15 and have all the time in the world to troubleshoot shit? Just popping that fucker in and playing it. No modifying .dll's, no driver updates, no nothing. I got stupid grown up shit to do, so I want to do my childish hobby as fast and easy as possible.

 

[Surface of Me]

here it is:

Hmm, looks like PS3 is 1.5-2x more powerful than 720, if the one above PS3 is 3x.

Edit: For some reason I forgot AMD made the chips in the 720, not Nvidia. How would Nvidia know?

 

[Cidd]

Wow, If this is true then this thread is about to light up...


Here we go!

 

[-COOLIO-]

and the ps4 gpu is probably 1/6th of the price

 

[beast786]

Where is Wii u

That horizontal line

First post nails it.

 

[metalslimer]

Where is Wii u

The same place it is in the weekly sales charts =p

 

[SniperHunter]

time to bail out

 

[coldfoot]

Confirmation that 720 is indeed 12CU 1.2TF GPU?

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Nvidia should Just make a console.

 

[bobbytkc]

The rumours poi t to the ps4 being 1.5 times more powerful. Nothing new then, other than it is nvidia stating it this time round.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Why does the Nvidia line go down between 2010 and 2011?

 

[Dead Prince]

The same place it is in the weekly sales charts =p

Off the chart

 

[SSM25]

Not this shit again, we know and there is no need for weekly reminder. Focus the talk on those amazing cards without trashing consoles.

 

[shinobi602]

Where is Wii u

Wii who?

 

[ArisenDragon]

Where is Wii u

In the ambulance.

 

[pixlexic]

They do .. its call the geforce series.

 

[opticalmace]

Wow, If this is true then this thread is about to light up...


Here we go!

Hasn't this been the rumour all along though? Something like PS4 ~ 1.8 TFLOPS, 720 ~ 1.2 TFLOPS?

Why does the Nvidia line go down between 2010 and 2011?

The slide is tilted and it's only a rough approximation anyway.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

At $1000, it damn well better be!

I'll probably upgrade my current gpu like 3+ years down the line once all the home consoles have all settled a bit, get a better scale to price performance for similar GPU tech for far less while the ultra enthusiasts can always go hard with the latest and greatest.

 

[smurfx]

just checked and titans are going for 1,000+? you will probably be be able to buy both a 720 and ps4 for what it costs now. you would hope its at least 3x more powerful.

 

[darkside31337]

Nvidia should Just make a console.

Well it'd a better idea than making a handheld.

 

[komaruR]

 

[SparkTR]

Nvidia should Just make a console.

They're making Project Shield. It's basically PCs equivalent of PS3/Vita crossplay.

 

[nhlducks35]

Nvidia should Just make a console.

But they want to make money

 

[bobbytkc]

Why does the Nvidia line go down between 2010 and 2011?

It is probably just a quirk of the cubic spline smoothing out the discrete data points.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I like Nvidia too much to say something bad, but how would they know? But I understand that Gpus aren't going to sell themselves so promo is promo.

Thread is doing great and hitting all the bullet points while still on the first page.

 

[Zombie James]

A $1000 video card had damn well better be more powerful than an entire ~$400 system, you would think.

 

[kuroshiki]

At $1000, it damn well better be!

Lol, this. $1000 for nothing but GPU, it better damn well be 3x.

You know what's nice about PC. Any system updates are automatically installed in the background or while I sleep. To play a game, I just click on the executable. If I want a higher framerate, I can choose to turn off effects.

Typo aside, you need to learn how to read graphs...

Spoiler

Or you could be trolling and in that case well done

 

[Meelow]

Well they made a handheld, if that sells good than I expect them to make a console lol.

 

[Jinfash]

here it is:

360 was ahead of it's time.

PS3 budget GPU

 

[Celcius]

day one

 

[toastyToast]

lol

Titan only had 6GB GDDR5. PS4 has more

It's like this guy never brought a graphics card before

What a dickhead

 

[Kukuk]

These comments from Nvidia would come off a lot less bitter sounding if they were providing hardware for one of the big three. At least then it would just seem like they are just saying "the console we're backing is better than the console they're backing."
