I thought this was a gamer OS install base thread, how did turn into a GPU discussion and why is somebody trying to make it seem like the PS4 GPU is on par with a 7970 or a 680? o_O;

Errrr, Windows 8 is growing though.... son of a bitch....

just because most don't have a stronger gpu doesn't mean that people who talk about a "weak" ps4 gpu (or other next gen console) don't already have a stronger system.

there could be also a lot of second systems in the stats and obviously also a lot of systems from people in south america and stuff, would be interesting to see only those countries the consoles are also strong in and when the ps4 releases, not half an year before.

i mean, even you could be part of these stats even when you aren't a pc gamer.

Well impossible I'm not a PC gamer... so I never installed the Steam in my notebook.

The fact is less than %5 of the gamers or better only the high enthusiastic gamers had a GPU equal or better than HD 7970/GTX 680... the gamers buys GPU that cost less than $150... so you can be sure the HD 77xx and GTX 66x are the most sellers GPUs for gamers.

Of course, more power and cost means less popularity. There are still quite a lot of people who have more powerful GPUs already and by the time we hit PS4 launch, that number should be above 10%.

Wise words there. It's not really a small percentage by any means, considering that the console has not been released.

Also, for comparison's sake, the PS4's GPU might be comparable to a GeForce GTX660Ti (this by judging the UE4 demo). And the numbers up there are interesting, because more people have GTX670s than 660s :P

What's the equivalent Nvidia card?

Looks like quite a few actually, at least 5%+.

Well just puting raw numbers... the PS4 GPU is better than HD 7850... so the GPUs betters are (not listing dual-gpu):

HD 7970 (.56%)
HD 7870 (.61%)
GTX 680 (1.71%)
GTX 670 (1.33%)

~ 4%

Titan is not listed yet... so over 90% of Steam players have a GPU equal or in most cases (the most % GPU are weak onboads) weaker GPUs than PS4.

PS. I'm not putting the CloseToMetal and console optimizations development in perspective yet because that can remove HD 7870 and GTX 670 from the list of better GPU than PS4.


Where's the 7950? And 580?

lol I forget the HD 7950... the GPU in PS4 is more advanced (more features and support to new techs) than GTX 580.

This survey just makes this comments even more reliable.

You are forgetting SLI and Crossfire setups that'd be faster as well, which is usually not listed correctly.

now i know what ethomaz tries to tell us, most people don't care about power and because of that almost nobody will care about the power of the ps4 lol

no, not only highly enthusiastic gamers have a steam account, lol? even people like ninpie or spurge have one and don't even play on it, they just have an account to chat with friends.

and post the whole list, not only a part of it.

I posted what the screens can show... and there are just less than 1% GPU out of the list.

sry but the pic you posted is missing some stats, you even mentioned the 7870 in another post but you can't find it in the pic you posted.
