same shit, different gen


You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Clearly I do, and you just don't remember 2006 forums.

DDR5 doesn't exist. And no, GDDR5 is not the new Cell, if you actually have an understanding of RAM.

Not literally.......its the new cell in terms of bragging, a atalkign point, the new "PS3 haz better graphics then 360"

False again, because no 3rd party developer praised the Cell prior to the PS3's launch. This machine had their input, directly. A new day, new set of rules, new console. 

Not talking about 3rd parties.....but the PS fans using the Cell as a bragging point. And im sure devs praised the cell in 2006.

Still grasping at straws, because now the fans aren't the only ones praising this addition. Besides, who cares about a bunch of people that have zero impact on the use of the tech? 

Well most of us do, since we all hang out together here lol. I like straws, stop telling me what I can and can not grasp.

Wow you mean the console was built by balancing the individual components? Shocking.

I know I'm always surprised when I step into my car and the engine tears the chassis off the suspension because that seems to be a really common issue in every day life.

Let's all take a moment and thank MS for doing this, because everyone hasn't been doing this type of balancing act since the dawn of time.

Wow... that was dumb.

If you have no clue about specs and technical details, dont bother posting. It makes you look bad.

Wasn't meant from a perspective, but from a forum bragging perspective. Should have clarified.

Guys guys...GDDR5, the Cell...no need to continue arguing about that.

My point here is this...

Xbox one is an AMD GPU with 768 cores which puts it between HD 7770 and H7790 in terms of power.
Those cards come with GDDR5 RAM and Xbox One has higher memory bandwidth than both. It doesn't just need GDDR5 to make the most of the tech it has under the hood.



Regardless, graphics will look superior on the PS4 and better graphics is what appeals to me.

This is a slightly skewed way of looking at the talking point.
Yes, people say xbox one is at a disadvantage for not using gddr5.
Yes, xbox one doesn't actually NEED gddr5 because it wouldn't be able to take advantage of the extra speed anyway.

So far the OP addresses that fine.
However, the argument isn't that '1 is at a disadvantage because it's not using gddr5', the argument is that '1 is at a disadvantage because ps4 DOES make use of gddr5, and xbox doesn't'

You're turning an argument of 'which overall console is better' into 'this console has parts relative to its performance'. Not that it's your fault for misinterpreting, but nobody is bragging about the RAM simply because it's faster. They're bragging because the ps4 is OVERALL faster, so fast, that it needs gddr5.
