Honestly considering the Wii U is less than 1/3 of the PS4 hardware wise, the graphics are pretty darn good in some games. Also goes to show how much is still left on the table for the ps4 & xbox 1.

Haha 1/3rd?  Try 1/6 - 1/12th.

Your right.... I wasnt remembering things correctly... went to look it up:

 

Wii U - GPU	XBOX ONE - GPU	PS4 - GPU
550MHz	853MHz	800MHz
5 CUs (320 ALUs)	12 CUs (768 ALUs)	18 CUs (1152 ALUs)
8 ROPS	16 ROPS	32 ROPS
16 TMUs	48 TMUs	72 TMUs
0.35 TFLOPS	1.31 TFLOPS	1.84 TFLOPS
4.4 GPix/s	13.6 GPix/s	25.6 GPix/s
8.8 GTex/s	40.9 GTex/s	57.6 GTex/s
12.8GB/s DDR3 (2GB shared with CPU) (1GB reserved for OS)	68GB/s DDR3 (8GB shared with CPU) (?GB reserved for OS)	176GB/s GDDR5 (8GB shared with CPU) (?GB reserved for OS)

 

The Wii U basically has a "Radeon HD 5550" if your compaireing that to pc versions of GPUs.

That is insane.. once you actually think about it. What nintendo can do with so little.

 

by todays standards... its probably slower than even a AMD R7 240.

Heres what a AMD R7 250 looks like:

 

 

One of these "bad boys" goes for around 59$ on newegg (brand new) (with free shipping).

It has a core config of 384 / 24(TMUs) / 8(ROPs)  & a bandwidth of around 74 GB/s (vs the 12 GB/s of the Wii Us).

It has more than TWICE the GPix/s & GTex/s & TFLOPS of the Wii U.
