So I'm being passive/aggressive, is that it?
Then I get this:

Which is saying that I'm being a downright asshole.
Can't be both I'm afraid, so people... Pick one, make a game of it even, amuse me.
| Intrinsic said: All I am saying is simple. And you can dispute this or not. Hardware should be compared to similar hardware. Be it comparing PS3 to 360, PS4 to XB1, R9 295x2 to a Titan...etc. And this shouldn't be that hard fr PCs cause there is always a model of hardwrae out there that matches what you have in consoles. Tell my why this is not possible, tell me why this is unreasonable, then on that we can actually have a discussion. Stop trying to make this about something it is not, even though I and others here has repeateadly told you what you are hammerring on is not what this thread is about. |
I've already iterated upon this point multiple times, I do not see the requirement to do so again, but just for kicks and giggles...
If we were to magically build a PC that was equivalent to a PS4 in terms of "theoretical performance", it would be cheaper and it would still have better graphics which I have outlined previously and even provided examples.
I'm sorry if I didn't make that point any clearer.
| Intrinsic said: No one is arguing that PC hardware doesn't improve, in truth 4 years into a consoles life the cheapest released GPU you can get for a PC in 2016/2017 will probably run circles around the PS4. No one is disputing that. |
And doubtfull, PC's performance increases is slowing down year-on-year, for a multitude of reasons. (Which is going to impact the next-gen of consoles, lol.)
After 4-5 years we are still using 40nm Caicos and Cayman based GPU parts (Terascale) in the low-end, which are barely competitive with an Xbox 360/Playstation 3 from a performance standpoint, mostly just cards that are designed to draw pretty pictures on a screen and not much else.
