“If you were to ask me today what kind of performance would be required from AMD’s current GPU lineup for a steady 1080p gaming experience on the PC, I would probably tell you the R9 280, a card you can buy today for around $180. From NVIDIA, I would likely pick a GTX 760 (around $200).”

AC: unity’s benchmark

DA:I’s benchmark.

Not only both games completely put these cards out of the picture for above 30fps on respectable setting, but 95% PC virgins around the world won’t even run ACU on lowest setting.

next 5 years?? lol!!

which PC indie exclusive from the last 10 years can even hold up to 360/ps3 standard?

let’s pretend psychically based rendering, superior human skin shader, 10xtimes key-frame in animation data doesn’t matter,sure you can have counter strike lvl graphic on all platform at 4k/60fps.

even trine2 on PS4 is 4k ready, this ???P/???fps idiocy is entirely invented by PC virign community, believed by PC virgins, spread across the internet by PC virgins. most developers don’t have the time and patient to address this fullbloom stupidity. when they do care to tell the truth in couple short statement, and you morons able to twist their words and rewrite them in your own theory. you are the reason this world need birth control.

Ryan and the guys just gave their opinion, like it or not it is based on hardware knowledge. sure there is still the wiggle room of coding- but Sony is having issues with Drive Club- it is beginning to look like the social experience it expected cannot be met with the hardware.

i think you will still get good games- but when the same IP hit’s pc we will get better settings, and either the new consoles will get a hardware refresh early – or a new model will come out earlier.

people are not willing to wait around for another 10 years for upgrades…..

Why are you making this about
Why are you making this about amd? If sony and microsoft had went with intel and nvidia with the same cost offer then these consoles would be even more obsolete.

You’re right, the soc used by
You’re right, the soc used by microsoft and sony are built for gaming yet the experience is wildly disappointing. The cusomized api that you speak of is showing absolutely zero results with the next gen consoles, the equivalent pc graphics cards perform the same as the console gpus even though they are a unified system with lean, cusomized apis. Maybe you know something everyone else doesn’t and you should program all games from now on. You can clearly see that developers are using these “to the metal, customized api’s” just like they would directx 11, they aren’t using any of those features because the “to the metal, customized api’s” are falling out of favor for the high level simplicity afforded by directx 11. Programmers and developers don’t want to optimize their code, they’re happy with 1080p and 30 fps. I get sick when I hear about the optimization of last gen games, console games looked like trash from a couple years after release all the way up to when the ps4 and xbone released. Console games look like someone spread butter on my tv screen, the customized api you’re speaking of must be broken.

I think all the platforms
I think all the platforms have their awesome factors. Really great video games are sucha rare thing that one must embrace many platforms to feed that on going lust for excellent games.

Consoles have certain exclusives, PC do to and once in a while they get a technically advanced game that goes down in the history books. Portable machines are having a hard time of it except for the 3DS.

All in all I buy these technologies (fortunate to have Xone, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, 3DS, PC, iDevices and Wii U) to play the games I want to.

I love games and the technology that powers them. Heres hoping that Holleywood talent comes to gaming (in mass numbers) sooner than later but I’m not holding my breath.

The arrogance is amazing…

PS the claims in the article of the PS4’s GPU being less than even a 7790 is a flat out lie too, or just complete ignorance at being able to use google to look up specs.

Yes it is, and Ryan trying to
Yes it is, and Ryan trying to say the PS4’s GPU is just a 7790 shows his ignorance on the matter

This is nothing more than PC Per trying to jump on one devs claim and make a blanket statement to damn the current consoles, and show that PC are the awsome.

Lolz a $600 console? You want
Lolz a $600 console? You want to see what happens when one of those comes out see the PS3 and its total failure at launch forcing Sony to do price drops in the first year and take heavy losses. Thats why the PS4 is what it is today.

The console market isn’t broken. The sales numbers since launch say its fine.
