Sigh.
IT IS ALL RELATIVE BRUH
PS4 = 1.84 tflops
XboxOne = 1.31 tflops
= 0.53 tflops differential. And here comes the kicker: 0.53 tflops =
40% of the total amount of tflops of the XboxOne.
Not so surprising now huh. Of course PS4 often ran games @ a higher resolution (what also helped was the faster pool of RAM on PS4 of course)
PS5 = 10.28 tflops
Xbox Series X = 12 tflops
= 1.72 tflops differential. This is
16.7% of the total ammount of tflops in PS5.
Therefor, I also think the actual difference in games will be smaller next-gen compared to current gen.
I do think Xbox Series X will have one big advantage over PS5: more capable raytracing (smaller FPS hit). Because of it having actually more CU's (52 VS 36).
This is just wrong though.
Again, PS5 is not 10.28 TFLOPS sustained, so we do not know how often it sits there, we should use the base clock.
And also, its very improtant how those TFLOPs have been achieved. DF actually tested similar graphic cards on PC, where we had one overclocked GPU vs. a non-overclocked GPU, they showed that 10 TF from 36 compute units leads to less performance than 10 TF from 40 compute units. Xbox has 12 TF from 52 compute units. That's because it just doesn't scale very well.
This also applies to Ray tracing, because of the higher amount of CUs, the XSX has much more RT hardware, so we will see a huge difference there.
Also, don't forget stuff like VRS, VRR etc. We don't know yet, what PS5 will have and what not, so we have to wait.
And what you should not forget:
You can still do a lot more work with 2TF's RDNA2 than you can with 500GF's of GCN.
RDNA2 is much more efficient, even looking at GCN vs RDNA 1.0 the difference was huge, with RDNA 2.0 the difference will be much bigger.
So, the 2TFLOPS difference between two RDNA 2.0 GPUs would be something like something around 4 TFLOPS when comparing those two GCN cards, because with RDNA 2.0 TFLOPs you can do much more.
Also, XSX has a much higher memory bandwidth. Don't forget that.
Again, we will see when the games arrive, but we should set the math straight and don't post some wishful thinking.
Let's wait when the games arrive and then we will see a difference.
