Soundwave said: I think Scorpio will be out in less than a year. $399.99 next summer in time for Madden NFL 2018. 6 TFLOP is nothing that mind blowing for 2017, it's a good better better than what Sony is offering but that doesn't make it budget breaking. A Polaris 11 is a cheap GPU and it's 5.5 TFLOP right now, MS just can use an overclocked version of that. I think RAM differences will be more interesting actually, if MS goes to 12GB or 16GB. We've had 8GB for a long time now, the price should be down after 4 years to increase to 12GB or 16GB. |
Exactly. The RX 480 is only $199, and it is capable of 6Tflops with a slight overclock. You can expect that to fall to $149 next year, and plus you need to take into account discounts as well. People here are overestimating the cost of the Scorpio given the specs we've got.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
