I fail to see how the actions they've taken after initially killing off interest in their product can be considered "smart", more like just "essential", also it's not like they reassured or convinced people they would benefit from the changes, i would consider that smart, they've just backtrack as if to say "ok, well we thought we might be able to get away with this and this, but too many people complained".

There are also still a significant number of issues like the whole focus on cloud and why Kinect is mandatory that haven't remotely been justified or explained, i wouldn't say they've gained back half or the fanbase they've driven away since E3, and i think after the last generation Sony are rather flattering and overestimating the threat that MS pose this time around (at least publically). It won't even be close.

I imagine they put a significant amount of money into developing it, and are either too ignorant or arrogant to see it's yet to prove itself as a worthwhile addition to a games console for most gamers, i believe they'll be getting a fairly major wakeup call this generation when they look at their sales numbers. The question is will they actually come to their senses like they did with alot of their other stupid decisions, or blindly continue on killing off their fanbase.

That would be because cows seem even more desperate for the Xbox to fail this time around, so literally every game has to be downplayed as much as possible, which means posting every scrap of information that could be used to do so, regardless of whether it's true or not. Pretty standard SW stuff.

Looks good, but seriously how long before they fix the broken lighting on the brake discs and inside the rims? they've had this problem for as long as i can remember, and i assume it's the same problem that's stopping them put night/day lighting in the game, i mean wtf is going on at 4:08, it's like someones shining a torch into the wheel arch :? it really ruins the photorealism.

[QUOTE="tormentos"][QUOTE="ronvalencia"]Again, CUs and ROPs doesn't operate in isolation. You got the down clock wrong, while the prototype-7850's 12 CUs @ 860Mhz is close to X1's 12 CUs @ 853Mhz. Your too stupid to realise that the disabled CUs doesn't add to the frame rates.

If the workloads fit with-in the CUs, 78x0's CU == 7790's CU at the same clockspeed.

 

 

If we use tormentos's logic, my old 4650M (RV730) would still be "RV670" and both has 320 stream processors.

ronvalencia

The downclock wasn't me it was neogaf dude. The prototype 7850 doesn't have 14 CU and is not 16 ROP. Once again just like MS added ESRAM and DDR3 they added a 256 bit bus and other cache enhancements,just like sony did with their solution. Link or your full of sh** i quote MS you have nothing to back you up.

You supported the down clock.

You haven't quoted MS since has it revealed a GCN with 14 CUs with peak 68 GB/s DDR3 + peak 204GB/s SRAM.

 

PC's 7790 includes it's 128bit memory setup and a single L2 cache link.

why does it matter? cows will be jumping around claiming you've been owned if there's any evidence the PS4 is more powerful at all on paper or in the games, and it looks like there will be on both fronts. Whether it's 50%, 40% or 1% won't mean jack ****. You're just giving them even more reason to post hyperbolic reactions and claim ownage.

How would one go about using LESS than 100% of the power? Unless you force some weird artificial limits on yourself...locopatho
I'd say if the hardware was terribly designed with bottlenecks or awkward architecture you may technically end up with "power" you can't use or initially don't understand how to utilize. hmm certainly reminds me of something...

[QUOTE="XBOunity"]

Cows think wildly unrealistic.  At best you will get a 1080p to 900p multiplat , which I highly highly doubt. 

bloodlust_101

So one will have clear graphics while the other will look noticeably blurrier in comparison? That translates to make the One look like it has lower quality textures due to the blurriness alone. Lems were nitpicking on most multi-plats claiming ownage on how the 360 version was superior in (what were the claims? 95%?) multi-plats - this time they do not have that advantage and they recessed in to a 'graphics don't matter, it is just a slight improvement'. They can call Cows hypocrites as much as they want.

The difference being the PS3 was hyped by cows as being far more powerful than the 360 by some ridiculous margin...for literally the whole of the last generation, yet was regularly getting multiplats which couldn't even match the supposedly inferior console, hence why it was mocked so, also hence why cows are so desperate for some silly redemption this gen, which it looks like they'll get, and no doubt make SW a place not worth visiting unless you belong to that faction.

-Open world

-8 year old hardware

pain in the assbum architecture

-worse GPU

-Above all else, split RAM

HOW THE HELL ROCKSTAR

I'm glad the game turned out better than expected, of course. But how is it possible? Did a Sony SWAT team assist them?

Floppy_Jim

or maybe the PS3 was just the lead platform? you know seeing as though all the early footage they showed was the PS3 version and there's a PS4 version rumoured to be in production, but no Xbone version yet. Seems rather obvious Sony have stepped in and got them to focus on their platforms this time around.
