On extensive analysis of the Wii U's GPU, I can now say with absolute certainty that the Wii U has a GPU with precisely 42 shader cores.

This should put all argument to rest. After all, I'm 100% certain.

Hey, you're a random on the internet too, we should trust you over talented and honest developers with actual experience with the hardware!


Do you want to open the thread ? What about "Aielyn confirms 42 shaders on wiiu" ? I know at least one person who would leave a comment !

Time to prepare the sacrifices then. The WiiU consumes way less energy than the PS360, has a worse CPU, less shaders and STILL produces better graphics at a higher resolution? Not without a blood magic, mark my words.


this is not true at all.

Native 1080p on AAA games. Go figure


the only game thats confirmed 1080p is smash bros, and gt5 and 6 run 1080p and looks leauges better techically.

still doesnt change the fact that developers that know the specs and worked on the machine said that, and what proof, i havent seen it, most multiplatfprm games run worst is that the proof your talking about

There's no proof either way. But the devs who'd had the best results say it's better, (Criterion, Frozenbyte) and it makes sense to trust the ones who've shown they know their stuff.

I want to summarise the following 50 pages for everyone who doesn´t want to waste his time:

Ninja: CONFIRM3D !!1!!one!!
everyone else: It is just speculation !
(repeat for the first 30 pages)
everyone else: It is ilogical to think that the WiiU could pull of the graphics it can with significantly less shader cores than the 360 (various "X" gifs will be posted )
Ninja: RED DEAD REDEMPTION LOOKS FAR BETTER !!!1!one!!
the rest:....whatever


You've successfully managed to sum up every Ninjablade thread.

Nah, that'd just satisfy Ninjablade cos it's even worse than his estimate.

Feel free to link me as saying it has 9001 shaders though! ;)

yup the guy that neogaf trusted to get the gpu die pics is some random guy now.

butbutbut you said  something positive about the WiiU, you have lost all credibility ! The only people who should judge the WiiU (and the only people I listen to) are random forum dwellers, some EA guy and that anonymous poster who claimed something two years ago!

See ?

Sciantifically proven !

-160 shader cores  C0NFIRM3D!!!!!

Also, misleading title. Nothing was confirmed. A guess was made.


he says he's sure of it and if you read the info on neogaf its baically 100% confirmed but i guess you can keep on denying it.

But who is fourth storm? A developer with extensive Wii U dev experience? A hardware designer at Nintendo?

He made a guess based on the available information. He may well be right, but that's not the meaning of the word "confirm".


Ninjablade is correct. Forum dwellers have more knoledge than a developer. We should take the word of some guy on a forum and completely ignore comments from professionals who have worked closely with hardward like shin'en.

like the developer that said wiiu is weaker then 360, or the one that said the wiiu is on par with current gen, i think you know who they are, why not trust them, i guess we should trust a exlusive nintedo developer, of course they would wanna sell the wiiu as being more powerful, whats in it for them.

It's common sense to trust the devs who have shown they know what they're talking about with their results.

shinen is more trusted then multi platform developers, that make much better looking games

 

why u getting michael jordan invovled in this discussion? 

like fuck me man he is a super star and you are birning him down with this shit.

misleading title since he confirms nothing: 

" It is my opinion that from the TMU count alone we can extrapolate that Latte contains 160 shaders"

but it was a bull's eye on this one:

 "just as I am sure that new game footage at E3 will have various folks claiming that the Wii U is both more and less capable than PS360"

ninjablade is the later.
