Considering many people at beyond3d which is a TECH board say comparing totally different games is meaningless to Guage hardware power but you seem to know it all just by looking at a game. Like saying silly things like gtav is not a show case on 360/ps3 is insane to me. As Microsoft developers just look at Xbox one vs ps4. It makes ps4 look it's 2x Xbox one. |
Crysis 3 shits all over GTA5 on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 from a technical standpoint.
| curl-6 said: If I recall, Xbox One actually has a slight CPU advantage over PS4; both use an 8-core Jaguar CPU, but PS4 is clocked at 1.6GHz while Xbox One runs slightly faster at 1.75GHz. PS4 is still the more powerful console overall due to a beefier GPU and higher memory bandwidth, but unless I'm remembering wrong it's one of those things where it's not better in every metric, kinda like how PS3 beat the 360 in terms of CPU power but the 360 had advantages in bandwidth and memory allocation. |
Xbox One did indeed run at 1.75Ghz verses the Playstation 4's 1.6Ghz.
The Playstation 4 also required additional DDR3 Ram and ARM CPU-Cores to do what the Xbox One did on the Jaguar cores for OS/System stuff, Microsoft's OS know-how really came to the surface this gen.
The Xbox One also had DDR3 Ram which was lower latency and could also use the 32MB eSRAM as a L3, so for latency sensitive CPU transactions that weren't in cache, the Xbox One had a sizable advantage, more than the clockspeed differentials would otherwise imply.

Only person saying anything about GTA5 is literally you. Thus "everyone" is a stretch, thought about running a Poll?
Considering how commonplace open world games were like GTA4, Oblivion, Skyrim, FarCry, Fallout, Borderlands and more... GTA5 didn't bring forth anything new in that aspect.
NPC density? You do know Dead Rising was a thing on Xbox, right?
Technically Red-Dead Redemption poops all over GTA5... And so do many other games.

Like saying silly things like gtav is not a show case on 360/ps3 is insane to me. Looking at post from DF the most techically demanding game on 360/ps3 is the Crysis games, but according to you it's not subjective you are the all seeing eye. |
Are you a developer? Pretty loaded question that I could throw right back at you... And can have a very wide application in terms of it's definition.
A developer could be someone making a simple ASCII based text game... Or be part of a 500~ person team building Call of Duty... It could be someone doing programming on A.I routines or someone making a picture in photo-shop to go on an in-game billboard.
But yes, I have developed some small games over the years using objective C... But even further back on the Commodore 64 using beginners all-purpose symbolic instruction code... Or BASIC for short.
I have also worked in teams to build pixel and vertex shader programs in order to get demanding video games to run on GPU's they were never designed to run on. I.E. Direct X9 SM3.0 games on Direct X 8.1 SM1.4 hardware.
But my real passion has always been hardware and rendering technology, I actually wanted to become a microprocessor engineer, but the training/education opportunities weren't available here in the 90's at a university level... But I did design some rudimentary 8-bit microprocessors, micro-controllers and more in order to power robotics in the 90's.
So don't take me for someone who doesn't know anything.
| Leynos said: Yeah. PS4 just had faster RAM with GDDR5 vs the XBO DDR3. |
Higher latency though in terms of latency per cycle. - So if there was ever a mispredict or the data wasn't in the CPU's local cache, the Playstation 4 would get penalized more than the Xbox One.
The Playstation 4 however having vastly more GPU resources could do more work on the GPU, that would normally be done on the CPU... Side-stepping the CPU issues, so it was a net-win either way.
Sony made all the right choices that generation.
