@tormentos:
A Polaris 36CU 911 mhz GPU will deliver considerable performance and true 4k gaming,sure it may not be 60FPS but then again we are on console 30FPS is the norm,and that is achievable on that GPU.
LOL!
No. Just no.
First of all, there aren't any single graphics cards out there that are truly "4k" video cards. Battlefront runs well, but what about Witcher 3, Fallout 4, and upcoming big games for Q3-4? I'd argue that the 980 Ti and Fury X aren't 4k relevant for late 2016. Also, why are you placing the PS4K that high up on the list? It won't be close to any of those high end cards, I'd put it around the R9 280x. Unplayable. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable could comment but the PS4K is at 8GB TOTAL memory, while 4k gaming video cards (Fury X HBM not included) are at 6+. A 980 Ti has 336/GB of bandwidth and a 384-bit bus to put things into perspective. PS4K is looking at 256-bit bus, 230(ish) GB/S, and possibly 3-4GB max for video memory. Quite the disadvantage.
Why are you comparing the PS4K to a 390X? The 390X is a $400 dollar 6-TFLOP GPU, and likely far better than what is going to be in the PS4. Why would PC gamers pay the price to move to an entirely new platform, buying new games, online passes, in a (previously) thought to be stagnant ecosystem versus just upgrading to a superior GPU at $400-500 - 390X, GTX980? Or better yet, Polaris and Pascal will come out at the same time at the same price point as the PS4K. All will outperform the new consoles without any of the bullshit that comes with owning a console.
