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.

That didn't work out very well for Nintendo. Why would they go back to that when Microsoft and Sony will easily crush them on specs? No point in trying to compete in that department...Nintendo knows that. What they can deliver however is great family games.What they can deliver is innovate controls and unique experiences. For the types of games that Nintendo will deliver, power isn't important. Does Nintendo devs even have experience making full HD 1080p games? No. They can't jump from SD games, all the way to FULL HD 1080p. It would be suicide and games would take FOREVER to come out.
