Forums - Sony - GDDR5 8GB RAM

I would guess they are going to up the amount for the OS to 1GB with 7GB for games.

it is expectd to run games plus OS all at the same time. But it is a hell lot. 1GB od Wii U seems really low. But then that depends on the kind of system. Some PC needs more RAM than oothers, and some have more RAM than they need.

Not really, the Xbox 360 operating system is required to run using no more than 32 megabytes of memory and normally 16 megabytes. It's a tiny but powerful OS.

The fact that the PS4's RAM is equal to the basic WiiU's 8gb storage is rather amazing.  And the it really fast and powerful RAM.

 



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Did Sony at any point say how much RAM the OS will use? As a Nintendo fan I'm a bit worried this will be a problem for multiplats :/

Third Party developers are the one's that told Sony to go with those specs so actually this is perfect for the PS4's multiplats.

Wii U on the other hand lmfao....

The sad part about this is that this is 4x the amount of Ram the Wii U has lol.

You have 8gigs of ddr5 ram in your PC? You sure you aren't thinking of ddr3? You can't even purchase ddr5 for a motherboard yet. Unless u have quad sli each card using 2gb of ddr5.
