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

[Fatboi1]

Bioshock Infinite looking nice. This the PS3 version right?

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan review incl. 5760x1080 and frametimes - Crysis 3 - 1920x1080 (+ frametimes) | Hardware.Info United States
i don't know you can't get 60 fps on a single Titan in Crysis 3 at the best settings possible. you can almost get 50 fps. i know anything over 30 is playable but to spend $1000 on just a graphics card and not be able to be rock solid 60 fps has to be disappointing.

Crysis has basically become a benchmark tool at this point. It will take years for most single cards to max it out and never dip under 60

let the record be shown that @MMSex has a crappy prebuilt computer so he's not able to experience his games at their full potential

Thinking bout coping a new laptop to go with my new ps4 next christmas, what's the minimum gpu you brehs recomend as of right now? Gaming purposes.

Now if you are getting a CPU specifically for gaming i agree with dude, a desktop would be better. however, if you are getting a laptop regardless and you are thinking of possibly using it for gaming in addition to whatever else you are using it for, you can definitely get something for current gen games.

my laptop definitely isn't high end, it has a ATI Radeon HD 5730 video card, Quad-core Intel processor, 4 GB RAM, Windows 7, 64 bit and it runs better than my PS3. i got it on 2011 for around $900 and only started using it for gaming recently. It was kind of like an added surprise because the thought never even crossed my mind. so you should be able to pick something up that will easily be able to run current gen multi platform games if thats what your after. you can also get an xbox controller that will connect through USB. if you want a laptop for next gen games i would probably wait it out or get a desktop or you'll be paying through the roof.

i think your missing the point altogether. its not that you need to drop $800 on a gaming PC, its that it takes very little to upgrade a PC into a gaming PC.

like i got a $900 Asus laptop in mid-late 2011 and when i purchased it i needed a graphics card and RAM capable to run adobe premiere and after effects. i never even considered gaming on it until recently. turns out the thing actually is very good for gaming when i hook it up to my TV. its kicking my PS3's ass. and i love my PS3, cant wait for Last Of Us, but its not even close which one runs better. And with newer tech between the time i bought it and now im sure current or dedicated gaming PCs would do even better. i didn't need to spend anything extra to do it either, it was already fully capable. and this is a laptop, a PC from the same time would do even better. and thats kinda the point, people are already sitting on capable hardware, and if they are not it probably wouldn't cost that much to have their system turnt up.

To say PS4 will be more powerful than PCs for years to come is just bullshyt and i think we all know it. i mean, i love console gaming, but the technology does become dated rather quickly. even if they are squeezing everything they can out of it, in a couple years PC will just have better more capable technology. Thats not to say PS4 doesn't have impressive specs, because it does, but just based on costing and growth of technology, theres no way a PS4 will outdo a high end PC, or even a mid level PC a few years down the line.

I think you're missing my point as well as anyone else
who quoted me.
Not everyone has a $1000 dollars lying around for a
laptop especially when you can buy a desk top that out performs
that same laptop at the same price.

I bought a decent laptop because I didn't need a gaming laptop.
I've got consoles that were created for the sole purpose of playing videogames on top of that I get exclusives that'll never land on a pc.


Will I have to play certain games at a lower resolution ? Yes.
Will some games run at lower frame rates ? Yes.
Does that hamper my ability to enjoy these games ? No.
I'm certain I can build a $1000 PC with a good recent GPU, a
nice amount of ram, huge hard drives etc. but for that same $1000
I can buy a ton of games for sh1t I already own.

ok, im not saying that people need to go out and spend $1000 on a gaming laptop/desktop. what im saying is that people are already buying laptops/desktops between $700-900 just for home/work that also just happen to be capable to be used for gaming. its something they are purchasing regardless. do you understand that? unless they purchasing some cheap ass $400-500 PC just for Word, itunes and Internet. they are sitting on "gaming PCs" without realizing it, all they have to do is check their systems specs. they dont need to go out and spend more because their PC already is up to scratch as most modern PCs would be. Sure it might not be high end, but it will definitely be capable. and if they want high end, they can pay that top dollar.

im not even hating on console gaming. i enjoy console gaming. i enjoy the exclusive games. i love my ps3. shyt, i still even support Nintendo cause i love their games. im just saying, the claim that PS4 will out power PCs for years to come is just absurd. they saying the PS4 is going to be between $450-600 right? and with that tech and that price its supposed to outpower PCs for years to come? give me a fukking break. we can at least agree thats bullshyt right?

there is just no logical way that a console will outpower a high end PC. and in a couple years mid level PCs will be at the same level. thats just how it is, thats how its always been. its just something us console gamers accept, PCs are more powerful. consoles are convenient and have historically offered a unique experience and had dope exclusives. but with devs leaning towards multi platform and online gaming, there is becoming less to distinguish consoles from PCs. why you think Nintendo stay innovating their controls systems and MS is pushing kinect 2.0 and augmented reality? they trying to offer something PCs cant, because they know when it comes to specs, PC will always win.

the most popular GPU in the last Steam Hardware Survey was the Intel HD 3000

That's a sad sign. Damn.

Edit: I guess that makes sense tho. Not saying the MAJORITY of cards were the HD 3000, but the largest single GPU in the mix was that.

 

[daze23]

I can rock Crysis 3 1080P on medium settings.

I thought you said it wouldn't allow you to play at higher than 720p

Edit: I guess that makes sense tho. Not saying the MAJORITY of cards were the HD 3000, but the largest single GPU in the mix was that.

to be fair, it gets the top spot with only 4% of users. number 2 is the 560ti at almost 3%. it's just that there's so many GPU's out there, so they're spread out

but it's no mistake that all those Source games (TF2, Dota 2, CS's) are always on the top of the most played games on Steam. granted they are good games, but they also don't have steep requirements, and anyone with a decent laptop can probably run them

unless this guy expects 64 bit games on PS4, there will be no way to outdo a PC

 

[Fatboi1]

Via HDMI I can't. I connected my TV to the PC vi VGA and all the resolutions come up.

Since the PS4 has 8gb of RAM one can only assume it will be 64bit. If most of it is available to game devs that is.

Or are we talking about different 64 bits?

Crysis has basically become a benchmark tool at this point. It will take years for most single cards to max it out and never dip under 60

It's pretty fukking sad that such a bland property will get long term recognition for being a tech demo. I'm sick to death of hearing about Crysis. And I know this is blasphemy...but there's nothing visually impressive about the game TO ME. I wish they used all of that tech for something more interesting.

theyve already done it

pc's have been obsolete for gaming since the end of ps2 days

this is more or less the reality of pc gaming

a whole lot of nothing "but look at the textures"

*stares at bland grass and walls*

"i mean wow, isnt this the pinnacle of gaming"
