Wow at the spin both sides are pushing in this thread. Truly astonishing.

I mean this article is in no way controversial yet here we are arguing over what exactly.

Both versions seems to perform inline with their PC counterparts. PS4 does particularly well in matching the 7870. Where the X1 performs slightly better than a 7770.

Thats inline with the expected performance difference given the differences at a hardware level for the GPU's. I would say the PS4 version seems to perform slightly better than expected as it matches the 7870.

Its also interesting to see that the memory architecture differences doesnt seem to make much difference...the gulf in performance can be fully explained by the difference in gpu compute performance.

Another thing we dont really know is what level is this version running at. Watching the gameplay it looks pretty close to Ultra on PC imo. Thats quite an accomplishment i would say given the generally underpowered hardware.

Edit: The X1 version is locked at 30 so its not a fair comparison. However they wouldnt lock the game to 30 if the FPS was consistantly much higher. The x1 version looks pretty smooth as well so X1 owners should still go out and buy it looks waaaay better than the last gen version. PS4 sticks between 40 - 50 FPS most of the time so i think not locking to 30 was a good move.

This kind of perfectly thinked post isn't allowed...

And I agree with your points, and it's a good thing Xbone is locked, and I would lock PS3 version at 45 if possible.
