Dev Says PS4 Will Out Power MOST PC's For YEARS To Come

[winb83]

Breh I have a gaming PC. I play Crysis and Tomb Raider maxed out and the differences is huge but to say PS4 can't produce those visuals on max is insane. I'm sure the PS4 is better than my 550TI and AMD FX 4100. If that low-mid range spec can produce those visuals, why can't PS4 do? Hell Uncharted 3 still gives Tomb Raider a run for it's money in visuals and that's a PS3 game. Imagine if it were simply upscaled??

Graphics wise, PC gaming graphics aren't impressive because all it is is just higher resolutions and a slightly faster framerate. And with that.



pc >>>>>>>consoles LOL.

how are you maxing out those games when you got the last graphics generation's version of the card below mines(660ti would be this generation's version of the card below mine)? i tried to max out Tomb Raider and my frame rates dip into the 20s when action happens on screen or when it gets close to her hair. on a 670 if i turn the depth of field down to normal and turn off the hair effects i can turn everything else up and get 60fps but with the game at true max at times its unplayable. this is at 1080p which isn't even the best resolution. you'd have to SLI your card to max these games out.

Easy. Run the game in 800x600.

I can check my vram usage chief, even Crysis 3 on ultra settings isn't using 100% of my vram. If you think a developer out there right now is developing a game that requires HALF the available ram you're out of your mind, considering that it just recently came out that the system would have 8gb of ram.

what does it get up to for you? you got 4gb vram right? I think I saw it around 1500. I could get it higher with AA, but I can't handle the performance end of that

Oh you making games now?

More ram doesn't just make games look better. The ram is used to store textures. More ram will make games larger and allow more to be on the screen at once, but it won't really up the graphical fidelity.

id say you and your ilk are the trolls brah the sales numbers over the years prove this

playing shooters on pc is a thing of the past

what does sales haveto do with anything?? i thought we were talking about the efficiency and the ergonomics of the keyboard/mouse vs the console controllers...and this can be solved by intalling a 30$ pc xbox controller

8GB GDDR5 RAM is too powerful. You won't understand.

So, basically you're just playing Xbox/PS3 games with more effects, if you can't run the games in 1080p at bare minimum you shouldn't really speak on running things maxed out

what does it get up to for you? you 4 gb vram right? I think I saw it around 1500. I could get it higher with AA, but I can't handle the performance end of that

It usually runs 1.8 to 2.2gb (3gb MSI 580s), from what I've read the only people coming close to 3gb are running the game in retarded resolutions. I don't run fraps with it so I can't tell you FPS, but some spots it does chug

you're full of shyt..and i bet you've never played a first person on the pc..so you're saying using wsad with shift to run and c to crouch will give you carpal tunnel?? LMAOOOO

"There was a project that got killed at Microsoft. This project was designed to allow console gamers and PC gamers to interact and battle over a connected environment. Personally I wish it would have stayed the course. I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their "console" controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse.The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative.
" i want to see the Counter strike cats play agaisnt the CoD tards lmaooo

This PDF file confirms the cross-game chat feature on page two in a section called “shared game experiences.” Sharing is a big part of Sony’s PlayStation 4 philosophy, as evidenced by the fact that the controller has a button called share. Here’s a snippet:

“PS4 also enhances social spectating by enabling gamers to broadcast their gameplay in

real-time to friends using live internet streaming services such as Ustream. During live

broadcasts, friends can make comments on the streamed gameplay and, if a gamer gets stuck

on a challenging level, friends can also join the game in completely new ways. For example,

friends can offer health potions or special weapons when a player needs them most during

actual gameplay.

Furthermore, users can connect their Facebook account with Sony Entertainment

Network account. Through PS4, users are able to deepen their connections through co-op play

or “cross-game chat”.”
