I'm just going to say one thing. Optimization. Now that I've said it, I'm going to explain it to you; Software optimization is a beautiful thing. Ask Apple, it makes their average hardware appear lightning fast. Sony can't really do it for shit in their software department, I'm going to excluding some of their game developers.
A PC is a multi-task machine that is supposed to run many different applications. Most of the software is not tailored made for one type of PC because everyone has their own set up with different components. Just think of it this way.
Think of all the games that look better on Nvidia cards compared to the AMD cards; then find out if Nvidia worked closely with the game developers to optimize the code for their hardware. I will bet a pretty penny that they did, Its gonna take a few years, and a much more powerful AMD card to run the same FPS and it still won't look as good as how an Nvidia card will perform.
Here is another example: PS2 emulation: It still hard to emulate some of the PS2 games on high end computers even though that is 10+ old tech. There is a community trying to optimize the code for PC so that we don't have a stutters or glitches here or there. but I still can't play a PS2 Saint Seiya game on my PC at 60FPS. ARGGGG!!! |
Lol what? Outside their game devs, what do you mean?
And its obvious we can't compare a pc gpu with the one in a console. However that doesn't mean a pc low end gpu will turn into a monster card in consoles. PS3s RSX is comparable to the Geforce 7800 series. Those were high end cards when they came out. One would expect the next gen consoles to have derivatives of todays high end gpus like the 8870(rebranded 7870). The HD6670 is comparable to the 8800gt. Yes faster than the RSX, but don't expect the performance boost like we've seen PS1>PS2>PS3

The 8800 and hd6670 are no where close to each other. For starters no8800 can dx11 hell they can't even run dx10.1.
The hd6670 is much more powerful. However I expect Durango to cross fire 2. Don't expect a 680gtx type of card it won't happen. Hell imagine what current gens could do with 2 gigs of ram instead of 512! Commen sense will tell us more than ram CPU and gpu are involved with consoles. Especially if kinetc 2.0 and that room thingy Microsoft just showed off. People bash Nintendo for making an expensive shell of a game pad that should have gone to more power yet don't think about the same issues with move and kinect.
