You will need ~$650 bucks to match next gen consoles on PC

The next gen of consoles will probably make use OpenCL for physics calculations:

You really don't want Nvidia for GPGPU tasks, also the older Nvidia GTX 5xx series were faster at it.

NVidia probably would match it up using CUDA. They try hard to push their tech instead of OpenCL. If they simply started using OpenCL too finally we could see more common applications using GPU to calculate.

But my point is developers probably will not use CUDA because all next gen consoles use AMD gpu's . That's why i'm saying it's probably not a good comparison to use a Nvida gpu in a PC that matches the next gen of consoles. More importantly both consoles use a one chip APU design, there are currently no APU's with comparable graphics power nor memory bandwidth available for PC.
