Please dont tell me you are buying into the "Generation" apart thing?? 6-7000 GFX cards are not a "Generation" apart. Come on VGKing man, i thought you where smarter then that xD . |
They ARE a generation apart. The 6xxx series is its own generation and the 7xxx is as well.
Graphics cards generations aren't as big a leap as console generations.

Seriously, what makes you think "Mummelman made a proper post from a different viewpoint, I'll just be a complete arse to him!". Mummelman is one of the best posters here, and I'd say you could learn quite a bit from him in how to behave. How bloody hard is it exactly to talk with people in a polite and civil manner? (I see the slight irony of this post being rather negatively loaded, but that's deliberate to make a point) |
WTF? Every single post?
.....Well considering many posts these days are borderline trolling(including Mummelmans post) I guess you're right.
There's no way to have a civilized conversation with someone who took a worst case scenario and stated it is as a common occurence.

Firstly, "mostly every thread you post in" is quite far from "every single post". You generally post a load of times in threads, and a few of those are insulting, rude posts.
Secondly, you're assuming the worst case scenario yourself. Mummelman really isn't trolling. He's 28 years old, and has posted over 8000 times in over 4 years. I've often disagreed with him, but I've yet to see him troll or anything of the sort.
In this specific scenario, I really can't see how you can accuse him of trolling. Nothing in his post is wrong, and he's explaining it as a rare scenario. It's merely a different viewpoint on something than you have, and that's not trolling.
Finally, insulting people you think are trolling is still being an arse. It's even worse when you're seemingly incapable of distinguishing between someone making a post in a civilised way and trolling.
| Mummelmann said: I still remember a few choice words from console gamers that made me laugh last night. "PC gaming is so complicated and its nothing but patches and fixes and internet stuff going wrong. Consoles are easy, you pop in the game and play." Well, I was going to play Gran Turismo 5 on my PS3 last night, I hadn't played it for several months. Here's what happened step-by step; 1: Start the game, it tells me of updates being required to start up. Fair enough, I'm used to that by now. 2: It actually starts downloading the updates, there are six of them and one of them is 1190MB... There are six updates... Six! 3: After about two hours the updates were downloaded and installed (I have a 25Mbit line so that's not an issue, PSN network seems awfully slow, my PC downloads and work go at about 3.1-3.2MB per second steadily). 4: Start the game; "Do you want to log into the PSN network?" Yes. 5: You can't you silly bitch, you need a system update. 6: FINE! Exit game, update system, new version found, downloading and installing. 7: 35 minutes later and its done. 8: Start the game. "Do you want to log into the PSN network?" Yes. 9: Too bad, your password is no longer valid after we fudged up the security last year. Go fix it. 10: Exit game, log onto PSN. "Enter new password." I do. 11: Confirm. You need to accept the terms of use again. Despite being the very same account and man. FINE DAMMIT! Accept! 12: You may now log in. Didn't I just log in when they made me sign the terms and showed me the login screen and I pressed "login"?!?! 13: No, log in again, it actually worked. 14: Start game and actually play. 15: Great times. Add to the list; unfinished games that don't work at all (Skyrim), lousy ports and crossplatform development, steep pricing, poor online, horribly long development times, cancelled projects left and right, shitty action games and ruining of entire genres to please adolescent kids, expensive games and accessories and an interface that wants to make your hair gray and you have yourself a merry time indeed. If next generation goes anything like this one, I might actually do something I have never done before; sit the entire console generation out and stick to PC only. |
funny, reading this I almost got the impression you didn't realize you could have just played without patching (not online though)

Geez, if you want to talk about emulating the PowerPC 750 from 2001 then yes, it's not so difficult. But we're looking a little more modern here. |
right - that is why i said "not gonna happen".

Wow, thats a lot of steps JUST to play a game.

With the way you are wording it, you make it sound like by having a 7xxx GPU the PS4 GPU is going to be a generation ahard of the next xbox. What if the PS4 has a 7450 GPU, and the Nextbox has a 6850 GPU would you still think that GPU would be a generation ahard??, it might be newer but it sure is not a generation ahard. |
He said graphics card generation.
Nowhere did he say the PS4 was going to be a console generation ahead.
Although if it was a 7450, it wouldn't actually be a graphics card generation ahead as it's not Graphics Core Next based. It's need to be 7750 or greater to be considerred a GPU generation ahead.

I know it did. But that's not relevent to how much power the PS4 will operate under. Just because you can include a 380 watt PSU does not mean it's OK to produce a console that consumes 350 watts of power. |
Have you got a link for that 180 Watts? I'm a little shocked they'd bother with a 380 Watt PSU if it only needed 180.

About half way down under Form and Power Consumption. It states 170 to 200 watts but I've talked and with people in the industry and read others that state 180. I'll find other links later if need be but I'm short on time right now.

as I said, he could have just selected "no" when asked to patch to play immediatly (or cancled the patching when he saw it was several GB)
