So that demo was run on an AMD 7900 Graphics card? That transfers 2,176 Gfloss of Data right?

PS4's Graphics Card is capable of 1,840 Gflops (Which is about as powerful as a 7850-7870).

This means that the PS3 version will be about 90% as good as that video, not bad. Wait! Was the demo on a 7900 or a 7990? There is a big difference, a 7990 has 6,963 Gflops of data, which would put the PS4 version running at 30% of the demo's capabilities.

For reference, the 1st number represents the series humber (7th series) and the second number represent the .... power level? So the PC is at 9, the PS4 is at 8. The other two numbers I think are like update numbers ( Like version 1.1, 1.2, etc)

Also X-Box and PS3 are about 240Gflops, so let's see how they turn out with just over 10% the graphical power.

Funny, I don't see a HUGE jump this gen, despite PS4 being nearly 9x more powerful then the PS3.

I would argue that PS4 is much more than 9x more powerful than PS3 (RAM, alone, jumped x16). Besides, as always mentioned, launch games won't tell the full story.

9x is the jump based on how much data the system can process. RAM doubles, and only comes in 2/4/8/16/32GB, so they needed to upgrade the RAM 16x because 8x (the step below) would introduce a bottleneck.

Launch games don't do the system justice, and it really depends on where the platform bottlenecks, and what devs do to go around it.

Still if that Battlefield game runs on a PC which is 3x more powerful then the PS4, I think you have an idea of the max setting for PS4 games.

So could anyone answer, was that demo run on a 7900 or a 7990, or even a 7970 Graphics Card? Big difference between the 3.
