Ok, so you're basically saying that the Xbox One X/ ps4 pro will run all of the next gen games fine? I'll just be over here, crying in a corner as that kinda sucks.

Look, a 580GTX was a $499 high-end gpu when it was released and is basically the same as a 660GTX. So yeah that would also run any ps4 game just fine. Like I said, anything comparable or higher than the 660GTX that's inside the ps4 will run fine. However, anyone with a lower spec gpu of that time had to upgrade. You have to take things a bit in perspective here. In 2012 the $299 560GTX came out and it was a great card that could run Crysis 2 at max settings at 60fps/ 1080p.

But when the ps4 came out 2 years later, it became pretty much useless overnight. Yes it could still run AC Unity but at 12fps in 720p at the lowest settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4xQD7AeM2o

"Ok, so you're basically saying that the Xbox One X/ ps4 pro will run all of the next gen games fine?"

No. Nobody is saying that the Xbox One X/ ps4 pro will run all of the next gen games fine. Because the Jaguar CPU cores aren't up to the task, even if the GPU part were strong enough.

"In 2012 the $299 560GTX came out and it was a great card that could run Crysis 2 at max settings at 60fps/ 1080p."

So many errors (lies? fake news?) in such a short sentence. I fixed it for you:

In 2011 the $199 560GTX came out and it was an okay card that could run Crysis 2 at very high settings (which weren't max settings) with no AA at 60fps/ 1080p.

"But when the ps4 came out 2 years later..."

Two and a half year later...

"...it became pretty much useless overnight. Yes it could still run AC Unity..."

...which ran shitty on PCs AND consoles and was in no way representative of the average game performance in 2014/2015. Oh, and when the game was released in November 2014, the GTX 560 was already three and a half year old.

Ok my bad, it was $200 and came out 2,5 years before the ps4. Still doesn't change the fact that it was a pretty common gpu before the ps4 came out. Just like the 1060GTX is the most common gpu among gamers right now.

The 560GTX was a capable enough gpu back then until the ps4 came out and games started running at 12fps in 720p at the lowest settings.  And no, that wasn't just AC Unity, that happened with almost all major games that weren't cross platform  anymore.

Here's what BF1 looks like on a 560GTX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzppk-pZsIc

FF15 hitting 20fps on a 560 TI : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3c0HG3gF_g

So looking back, doesn't it make sense that the same thing will happen with the 1060GTX?
