Yeah, I thought that was strange. Personally I thought they should have gone with a 7790 vs 7850 and clocked both to 800MHz. As it is, their are too many variables to be representative (memory bandwidth and ROPs are the two that stand out) when using a 7850 for X1 and 7870 for PS4. |
Exactly. 7790 and 7850 are the closest we have to the GPUs in the new consoles. I believe the PS4 actually falls in between the 7850 and 7870, though. And if I remember correctly, the One is slightly less powerful than a 7790. Either way, devs for both consoles are going to be coding for that specific GPU, and closer to metal, so they will get more power from them than a gaming PC ever will. It's also ridiculous to underclock the GPU even lower than the ones in the consoles, as he even admits that some games perform better with higher clock speeds.

Is this #4 for Leadbetter?
