The secret developers: What "Next Gen" harware balance means for gaming

[daze23]

ARMA might be the exception, but personally I have never run into an issue with how I have been building computers.

did you play the BF4 beta? Planetside 2? EVE? or any large scale PC game?

this "the CPU doesn't matter" really is last gen's paradigm. the ps360 both had weak sauce CPU's. so a powerful GPU was all you needed on the PC side to scale ports. that's changed since both next gen consoles have an 8 core CPU. now they can make games that are fundamentally more complex, and therefore will have higher CPU requirements on the PC side. the same with the memory. all of a sudden COD Ghosts requires 6gb on PC

It's not the same chip breh...your struggle trolling is only getting worse as the launches draw near.

My god they're from the same family. You are the one who trolling I posted links to prove my point that these are netbook class chips.

Clearly the CPU requirements have gone up, but the GPU is what will be the most important after 18 months or so as the consoles have static hardware.

You should know how these things work...I also never said that the CPU flat out doesn't matter, you guys are just putting more or just as much weight on it as a GPU and that's wrong.

Breh, they are not the same chips in any capacity. I was trying to figure out why you kept throwing the netbooks out there. Do you realize how much these things scale? You are clearly talking out of your class again.

for example "INTEL HASWELL" has chips that range from Celeron, i3, i5, and i7. Just sit down breh, you don't know wtf you are talking about.

fukk all this back and forth. We have real devs saying the CPU is the weak point.

There's no spin to that @Liquid

nikka just admit you are wrong Jaguar are amd budget, low power cpu's I could post another link, but it would do no damn good because you would spout the same shyt over and over again.

You are going to be extremely upset and look extremely foolish when the PS4 games look better than the ones on the Xbox One.

Too bad Ryse and Forza already exist

deflecting deflecting deflecting damn nikka is that hard to say ok you may be right?

jeez...

the GPU should be the bottleneck

Still don't agree man, I am going with history on this one and I think you are just looking at the cpu spike that just occurred (which happens at the start of any gen).

Over time, the GPU is where it will be at.

@Liquid argues like a female he will never admit it even when proof is in his face.

There is proof...the proof is that the GPU has ALWAYS meant more in gaming than a CPU. When given the chance you try to aim for a processor that is close enough to the competition and load up where it matters (The GPU).

This is simple building talk...I am not sure why people are trying to dispute facts. I almost feel like I am talking with Sega Genesis nerds who argued that the Genesis had a more powerful CPU, but got mad that the SNES with the slower processor still won out in terms of graphics LOL.

Yep when most would pair a 7850/70 gpu with at least i3/i5 or FX series of cpu, You like ehh we can with pair it with netbook class cpu the competes with intel's atom and it's all fine with you. But devs say hey the cpu are the bottlenecks in these systems, but you disagree with them. Hmm ok I gotcha.

P.S. Oh to your Genesis vs Snes The Genesis cpu was faster but the Snes had better hardware effects such as mode seven.
