I think neither the PS4 and 720 will have laptop components. I expect both consoles to be a powerhouse, I don't care and don't need a green console, my 650watt pc amuses me.

7900 GT: Pretty much the GPU of PS3 and high end GPU of its time


Geforce 680GTX: Modern high end GPU


There is your answer why we don't get high end GPUs anymore in consoles.  We already had heat problems with this gen consoles...

Giving the 7900GT to RSX is being waay too kind...

"Based on NV47 Chip previously based on the 7800 but with cut down features like lower memory bandwidth and only as many ROPs as the lower end 7600."

But yeah, your point remains clear. Like Turkish said, something like 7850 or 650Ti even would be highly possible. 

wait so is the 7850 more powerful than the 7970(the chip that is said to be used in this rumor)?
