While I agree the Nvidia gpu is more capable than its gflops figure indicates compared to wii u its important you don't just run away with ridiculous performance claims. The same comparison was made with the wii u over ps3 and 360 and the end result was not that the wii u easily beat them despite the lower gflops figure it actually struggled despite the generational difference. Remember the gflops figure is an indication of its performance level allowing for its later architecture. What was fantastic performance of 250 gflops in 2005 is pretty much base level now. Lets not forget if the wii u has 176 gflops for its main gpu and up to 24 gflops asisst from its wii gpu plus 70GB/s of high speed memory for its frame buffer that is pretty good compared to 150 gflops and 25.6GB/s shared memory. When I say a overall 30% increase I'm not exactly being unfair I'm giving the nvidia alot of allowance for its later architecture possibly too much. |
You're not reading the replies are you, the EG article is now not the most reliable leak the Foxconn one is so all speculation based off it is outdated, the latter leaked info that is impossible to guess like the exact battery type in the Switch and orange and blue Joycons for one, this makes the latter the more reliabe source by far now, this is something you can't argue, EG by the looks of it had old outdated information before they even reported it.
Wii U games when well developed also beat out those consoles significantly, look at the difference between similar games, Bayonetta 2 is leagues above the original, no 360/PS3 version of an open world game comes close to what XCX outputs, even games like W101 where grapical design is more simple performs at a level those consoles sould struggle at. Some ports like Arkham city were 1080p/60fps on Wii U but not on those platforms either.
