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.

The demo was running on what they said it was - a 7990 Malta. Regardless, RAM was an example of the bigger pie. Even including the Cell, per clock, the PS4 has more than 9x the power.

I dunno.

Either way, about 9x the power of a PS3, I hope we see better looking games then Killzone: Shadow Fall with that, I hope Sony doesn't reuse PS3 engines for all their PS4 projects. I bet GT6 will push the system, the GT5 engine was designed for PS4 as well.

The demo was run using a 7990, which is much, much more powerful than a 7850.

I didn't know AMD was releasing a 7990. Based on those (leaked) specs it is slightly slower than 2 x 7970 cards in Crossfire, so my 2 x 7970's are slightly more powerful! (yay ;-p )

LOL, that graphics card is also over 3x as powerful as the PS4. I wonder how much "dumbed down" the PS4 game will appear.

Your PC sounds intense, compare it to mine:

Pentium 4 - 2.79 Ghz (Single Core), with 1 GB DDR(1) RAM

Plus it has a 128MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card

I produce a whopping 40 Gigaflops, and I have a floppy drive. Bet'cha your computer doesn't have that.

Yeeep, Halo 1 works like a charm, on medium.
