| Kyuu said: TFLOPS is bullshit when looked at without examining the others specs and details. But in certain contexts, it matters as much as any other specs, and can be a decent indicator of performance. All individual aspects are meaningless without context. This is my opinion. |
No. It's just bullshit full stop.
Radeon 5870 @2.7 Teraflops with 153.6GB/s of bandwidth
Will lose to the...
Radeon 7850 @1.76 Teraflops with 153.6GB/s of bandwidth.
The 7850 has almost 1 Teraflop less of FP32 capability... And yet is still faster.
Now that I have proven that you have no idea what you are talking about and that FLOPS is literally bullshit... We can move on.
| Kyuu said: I didn't lie about FP16 optimization, I don't even know what you're talking about here lol. Clearly, you're not paying the bare minimum attention to what's being written to you... You confused FF16 (Final Fantasy 16) for FP16 and chose to demonize me again lol. Don't accuse others of lying without first having the courtesy to understand what they're saying. |
You are correct, that I did get that part muddied up. I was at work and in a rush.
| Kyuu said: PS5 had meaningful design advantages that developers liked regardless of popularity, this much was clear long before the consoles launched. Series X is indeed the faster console "overall". No one argued otherwise. |
The Xbox Series X has meaningful design advantages that developers liked, but don't really take advantage of, the PS5 is the lead development platform this generation... And that is the important tidbit here.
Because if we go back to the 7th gen, the Xbox 360 was the lead platform for games, hence why ports were better optimized for the Xbox 360.
| Kyuu said: You said the next Xbox being more powerful would be meaningless if it isn't popular enough. I disagree with this. If Magnus has a similar architectue to PS6 and comfortably beats it at every metric including GPU clockrates and related elements, virtually every game should look better on it. In this scenario, PS6 would have nothing that can't be easily replicated by the much less popular Magnus. |
Correct, the Xbox being more powerful was meaningless because it wasn't popular enough.
Again, lead platforms are chosen by developers to build games for.
The Xbox Series X in every relevant metric should put it ahead of the PS5, but it doesn't work out like that in the real world.
Platform parity and optimization is a thing.
