I'm getting tired of this "Optimization" BS. It can only get you so far. Let me give you an example:
-The $30 HD 6450 is about equivalent to the 7 year old (Then High-end) GPU in the PS3. -Bioshock Infinite set to its lowest preset runs at 30 FPS in 720p on an HD 6450, and it looks as good if not a little better than the PS3 version (Probably due to more RAM allowing bigger textures).
Now I own a 6450 and a PS3 so I ran this test for fun. I also did a similar thing with BF3 and got the same results. Optimization only gets you so far... |
the HD 6450 is by no means an "equivalent" to the RSX, maybe they fall into a similar "flops" range, but it's architecture is way more efficient (RSX didn't even have unified shaders, so depending on the situation a lot of it's processing units are just idle because there is no job for them) and it uses a more advanced shader model that puts less strain on the hardware to enable certain effects
