I thought the point of consoles is to have a closed box where devs can pin point the hardware while PCs are open boxes where more flexibility and ways to add brute force. I mean, if you want to count the number of PCs that can outperform the PS4, the whole box has to apply to the equation, not just the GPU itself. Also, not counting the 580 is also silly because 2 of those cards will also burn the PS4 even if it doesn't have the same architecture, it's almost like you don't know the topic you are trying to present. How do you even discuss something without broad knowledge of the topic is beyond me, but that's what the internet is for I guess.

PS4 GPU in raw power is between HD 7870 and HD 7850... I'm sure it can outperform a single GTX 580.



Oh I'm not going to disagree with that assesment at all because optimized games on the PS4 will very much outperform a 580 IMO, but I did list 2 cards and not 1 in my reply which then becomes a different story on that front with driver optimizations from Nvidia. SLI and Crossfire have been part of the PC industry since 2004-2005 and have since then evolved much so many PC gamers have adopted to the technology, I was simply stating that the Steam list won't help with showing that unless they have a list for that too.
