zarx said: Not really arguing with your premise but the PS4 with a 1.8TFlops GPU would put it somewhere between a HD 7870 GHz edt (2,560 GFlops) and the HD 7850 (1,761 Gflops). A HD 6950 would also be comparable at a general performance level even if it lacks the compute enhancements. On the Nvidia side a GTX570 and up or a GTX 660 and up would be in the same general performance bracket. And then you have people with multiple lesser GPUs which for some reason some people do actually use. So the percentage of people with GPUs with more raw power is quite a bit higher than 2% even if it's still small. there is also the Radeon HD 7970M and GeForce GTX 680M but I doubt their install base is anything of note. |
I think any GPU below 2.5 TFLOPS (AMD) will perform worst than the PS4 GPU... so you can remove HD 7970M, H 6950, HD 7970, etc... the GeForce equivalent too so GTX570, GTX 660, etc. But I know there are HD 6990, HD 5970, and GeForce equivalent that can performe better than PS4 GPU and my 2% is already counting these cases...
Even if you think 5% of the Steam have a system to perform better than the PS4... in fact is yet too low... some PC users here seems to think everybody have a PC gamer that can perform better than PS4 but the really is another... few gaming system can performace better than a PS4 and that in not change in the first PS4 years.
I guess in terms of power the PS4 is more advanced (or at least close) than what PS3 was when released comparede to PC... well the PS3 have a downclocked 7800 GPU while in the market we have 7900 dual-gpu and HD X1900.
The 360 GPU at launch (2005) was more advanced than any GPU on the market for at least one year BTW... only in late 2006 (when PS3 released) the AMD and nVidia released GPUs to perform better than the 360 GPU.
