Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Targeting 60FPS, Single-Player Might Be Lower

@NorseLax09: There are no specific hardware requirements to achieve 1080p/60. There's no technical reason every game on both the PS4 and Xbox One couldn't be 1080/60. The reality, however, is that developers often choose to use as much of the system's power as they possibly can to make games as pretty as possible, thus leaving less left over to get the game running super smoothly.

It's not an issue of power, but how the developers use that power, and most prioritize graphics over performance.

@NorseLax09: actually PS4 was designed with that in mind, it has enough ROPs to run at 1080p comfortably. the reason why most people run into the 60fps problems is MAINTAINING 60fps no matter what. not even most games on PC run at a steady locked 60 fps, the only one that comes to mind that is new is Ground Zeros.

@NorseLax09: At the end of the day, it's all about budget. They got the best parts they could withing a 400-dollar budget, regardless of what specs they wanted to hit.

@NorseLax09: They had affordability for the average consumer in mind which is why they used older hardware for the consoles.

@NorseLax09: These consoles are more than capable of hitting 1080p at 60fps, they just cant do it at the graphical levels people expect. Rather than tone down the graphics, developers are choosing performance instead because graphics are the new king in console gaming.

@NorseLax09: these consoles were initially being designed 6 years ago when 1080p for games was not the focus.

@NorseLax09: Crappy CPUs.
