You got me thinking and I figured I'd do a comparison. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-590-review/11 PC version on 1900x1200 with:
Gets 224 frames per second running GTX590 PS360 versions at 1024x600 with none of those settings gets 60 fps or less. I am aware its like comparing apples to oranges but in real world application like this, GTX590 is processing 13.8 X more pixels per second than PS360. And that is not counting the AA and AF and much better details that the PC version is pushing and fact that CPU is probably the bottleneck on the PC version at 224 FPS (SLI GTX590s run it at same fps count). So its safe to say that the current best video cards get ~15X better performance in a real life application (not theoretical) than the 5 year old gaming consoles. And they say next console gen won't be as big of a leap in graphics as before... |
I honestly expect Sony to do like they did with the RSX and go with an older graphics core than what was being released (7800gtx based, 8xxx series was out for like 3 months).
I dont expect staying modern, but i would expect them to strike a deal to use whatever graphics tech is coming next after first announcement that year.
