A 7850 "low-end last gen"? Definitely not.

Also, read the edit. The entirety of these machines, at worst, are mid-ranged PCs. 

I said "lower mid-end" for the last generation of GPUs (2 years ago), not low-end.

By today's standards, it's one of the lower-specced mid-end GPUs available to purchase. The 7870, 7950, 7970, 270x, 280x, 290x, 670, 680, 760, 770, and 780 are all better options than the 7850, which puts in firmly in the lower mid-end GPU market.

Yes, I made the correction when re-reading. See the edit.

Anyway, by today's standards, I agree about the 7850 (though, as I said, it's still considered a mid-ranged card, lower-end or otherwise). This still keeps, at least the PS4, comparable to mid-ranged PCs (the total package, not just the graphics card). The 8GB of GDDR5 also helps.

True. It is technically on the lower end of a mid-range card, but if you take the entire package, especially, I'm not sure I'd agree. The PS4 uses a 8 core AMD CPU, which is considerably weaker than the CPUs found in most mid-end PCs (Intel i5). Core for core, it gets destroyed by intel, and in gaming only 6 cores and 5.5 GBs of RAM are usable anyway, which puts it considerable behind most mid-end PCs, which have 8 GBs of DDR3 RAM and 2-3 GBs of dedicated DDR5 RAM.

But the Wii U GPU is the best technically.

Why are you off topic?


The topic is GPUs com[arisons

Between PS4's and X1's. NO WiiU. Did you not read the title or my posts asking not go off topic? If not, NOW you know.



Wii U Vita and 3DS should be included anyways imho. and PC clearly has the edge -well......depends on what PC.

Uh..the Wii U gpu is not the best. It's the worse.

I believe you're overthinking it. Of course, the PS4 can't compete with "the best" of the mid-ranged line, but, all I've been trying to convey - it's not, necessarily, a "flat out lie" to consider the PS4, in 2014, the equivalent to a mid-ranged computer. 

That's not the best of the mid-end line though, that's actually very standard. The Intel i5 is used in almost every build today, and every graphics card comes with 2 GB minimum of dedicated DDR5 memory. RAM is cheap enough that almost everyone has 8 GB (or more), even on low-end builds. 

And yes, the PS4 is equivalent to a mid-range computer, but a mid-range gaming PC? Not even close. Weaker CPU performance on average, weaker GPU performance on average, less RAM available for games, etc.

You take things too literal. When I think about the PS4's specs, I place it next to a mid-ranged gaming PC (computer, whatever you want to call it). Obviously, you don't. But, I can see that we're not getting anywhere, so I'll bow out.

Stalemate it is.

The equivalent PC GPU (7850) will consume more power/require larger PSU, be hotter, be louder and you cant realistically build a PC the size of a PS4 if you used it.

It all depends on the parts so as always, if you throw enough money on a PC it will win.

Agree not a highend computer but if they can use all 8 CPU cores i like it. That will benifit The PC gamers in the long run. Hell I have had a I7 since 2007 and no games use all cores !

Unless they're using the respective APIs this comparison is meaningless.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yes.. But faster GPU and RAM on PC show that it does matter and PS4 have higher/better graphic than XBO this far ..

This benchmark tells us nothing, and it doesn't factor in the incredible amount of optimization these consoles can get. Even if the base cards are the same on the original pc card and the ps4 the base card wouldn't be remotely close to what the ps4 can achieve with it. The threads are getting tiresome, you have to throw the numbers out the window because consoles will hit a level of optimization that you simply can't calculate. Especially in this way.
