I just bought an HD 6670 low profile card, and I'm not impressed by it at all. Cant even do 1080p with all effects without major slowdown. So someone with more knowledge about pc cards, feel free to correct me, but if these specs hold true, then Wii U won't be too far off and will infact be able to receive ports easily (if not the main console that does the porting, ala PS2).

Bold: You are correct.

Unbolded: WiiU's GPU crushes the 6670.

Not if the wiiU rumors hold true.

And in regards to the card, you have to consider that dedicated hardware will allow for developers to get the most out of the hardware, instead of generically scaling it. Another note-worthy thing is the assymetrical crossfire that gives the machine a secondary GPU for that ekstra boost.

I still think they should have gone with a cell design though, and I gotta say that I'm not very impressed with, especially the CPU... But with the economy, and sony as a company as is, They probably can't afford to take big risks. This seems like a "safe" machine.

What rumors would that be?

That the wiiU is roughly on par with the ps360 visually ?

It's also worth noting that it's HIGHLY unlikely that the wiiU will have a better GPU than the ps4. I base that on current gen and anything that has been revealed so far, including statements from nintendo, about how they are going to continue in the same direction as the wii took them. - It should be noted that I still rather see a more powerful GPU from sony, but i'm withholding judgement. I am with the WiiU too, But I can't help but form an opinion on both of them based on what I've read and heard :P

So you listen to rumors from anonymous/ No name devs, then listen to facts from devs that have giving thair names??, very smart of you.

Also i would like to see them statements from nintendo devs that says they are going to continue in the same direction as the Wii. Before the Wii Nintendo has always had a very powerful console, GameCube was the 2nd powerful of last gen, so maybe they are going to go back to that again?, It's only this gen Sony has releases the most powerful console, as before this gen they always released the weakest.

You seem awfully defensive about this. Theres no reason for that. I'm not gonna scour the internet looking for sources. It's just what information i've compiled. I'll have you know that I had Not infact, seen any other rumors when I made that statement, and the fact that the WII was a huge success, nintendo preferring to make money right out of the gate, along with them probably, hopefully, wanting to price their machine competitively, tells me that they are likely to release a console that is not of equal power to the Ps4720. And yes, I know. But the gamecube was a flop. It's more likely that they'll continue a successful strategy, rather than go back to one that failed them in the past. Noone can say for certain how it's really going to end up, other than people in the know. Neither of us are. We can only speculate based on what we have heard. And yes, I have NOW seen another developer say that it has a great CPU. But that's not very specific, nor do I know if it's true. He may consider it great because of many things. It doesn't mean that it's extremely powerful. But it doesn't mean that it's not. I'm not trying to downplay the machine. But yes, I am biased. It's hard not to have preferences :P I do try to limit it though.

but as you see with rumors of all shapes and sizes, this is the period where speculation run amok. Some take advantage of that.
