Because you can use your PC for more than just gaming? Because your friends are on PC? Because you like PC exclusives?  Or you prefer to decide the graphics settings on your own and don't need the developer to decide for you how important shadows, textures or whatever are for you? 

Or like 100 other reasons which you might not care about but other people do?

The more reason to go with RTX 2080 or premium one, and I am agree with your statement . Nvidia will come out with new GPU in 2020 and the price of RTX card also will be cheaper. Both PS5 and Xbox X will be around RTX 2080 or 2070 .  

Sometimes it feels like talking to a wall. 

In another thread you said something like "people need to upgrade their PCs very soon" as if nothing below the next gen PCs is acceptable. When you read that PS5 could be 30% weaker than Series X it's "almost not noticeable" for you (so, why exactly does a PC gamer need to upgrade then, even 50% or more performance difference shouldn't be much of a difference with your logic)

And when I tell you that there are a lot of reasons why someone would choose a PC instead of a console even with a not so strong GPU you try to spin that argument in a "The more reason to go with RTX 2080 or premium one"

Having so many options on PC to lower different settings is great for people without a strong GPU. They may decrease some stuff they don't care about to even low settings to have more power for stuff THEY care about more instead of having the game developer deciding for them how good the quality has to be.

For many on PC it's also fine to play only in 1080p for some more years to have more room for higher setting in general. Running a game like a potato just for high FPS is also something many do. There are just so many different gamers with different preferences. Maybe you will understand that one time.

I don't even try to explain the other reasons I mentioned and how this doesn't automatically mean you should buy a premium GPU for that.

And let's not forget while next gen consoles will try to run the games at 4K, there's a lot of console and PC gamers still use 1080p displays, which the PC crowd can take advantage of to reduce the power necessary to run the games.

That's pretty obvious, they wanna push the TF number so high as they can, cutting back Vram makes sense. It looks like they are indeed gonna be using FLEX MODE. 10GB fast Vram and 3GB Slow Vram for games, total 13GB.

You are not making any sense. To get to 16G on a 320bit bus, You'd install:

6 2G chips on 3 controllers, 4 1G chips on 2 controllers.

This means you'd spend a lot of money on 5 instead of only 4 controllers on the die (unlike 8 2G chips like on the PS5), you preorder a "small" mixture of 2G and 1G chips instead of a single, large order of 2G chips (again adding costs, and bureaucracy on top of it). If the XSX has indeed a 320 bit bus (which is not out of possibility, as people seem to see 10 ram chips on the dev unit), it would be 10 2G chips for a total of 20GBytes. Then if you wished you could work your ways into splitting the system into a partially divided cpu/gpu memory access structure but I highly doubt this would make any sense.

And lastly, high TFlop numbers always mean high memory bandwidth, so you'd want as wide a bus as possible (particularly since ray tracing is a serious burden on the bus).

If you use 4 Memory controllers it only gives 448GB/s bandwidth, it's to low for 12TF GPU. Or Microsoft do you as you suggest, 5 memory controllers for 560GB/s memory speed with 20GB Vram, but instead mix 1GB and 2GB sticks for total 16GB Vram and save themself a lot of money. I think you agree with that.

The 9.2TF number IS BACK FROM THE DEAD.

Not really. Don't hold weight to any rumor.

They all will have 8Core zen2 CPU and 1TB SSD at NVMe speed.

NVMe speed? That is a broad statement... And a useless one at that too.
It could be 50MB/s it could be 2,500MB/s... So which is it?


It doesn't matter what speed they have, they will load games in 2 seconds no matter what. What matters is, will Lockhart sell with no Disc-player? Is the price of Xbox series X to high compared to PS5? I think microsoft must launch that console at $450 to compete with PS5.

Xbox consoles at 1.5GB/s speed?

PS5 at 2.5GB/s speed?

Guys a new Youtube video from Redgamingtech, he was the first to leak Navi 10 would be at geforce 2070 performance and first to leak this image:

His new video talks about specs for PS5 and Xbox Series X:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuB9Nd3nKhs

Here's the short version:

PS5 devkit: 10.54TF (40CU, 2060mhz), 572GB/s memory bandwidth, 16GB Vram

PS5 retail: 9.2TF (36CU, 2ghz) 512 GB/s memory bandwidth

Xbox Series X: 12TF (52/56CU, 1,7-1,8ghz) 560 GB/s memory speed.

He also made another video suggested that next-gen consoles will use Tsmc 7nm Euv. Looks like it's all over now, finally :)

You won't reach those speeds unless you transfer huge file sizes. They will use it mainly for gaming where the reading speed will be much, much lower depending on files size and amount. They could also go for SATA 3 SSD. Difference in this environment is so small its not even noticeable. Important part is the low access time to files.

Looks like you know a lot about this stuff, Sony/Microsoft are supposed to use optimized NVMe to reduce loading much faster than what is possible on PC.

It's actually my second time, when I said it the first time it was actually exactly the same spec except oberon was the devkit.

nothing is "finally over", don't be disingenuous please. and Paul is going by the same "leaks" we've all been talking about for the last several days now, nothing new or confirmed in any way. actually the only insiders that seem to have a clue at the ps5 specs are pretty quiet and teasing some reveal rather soon.

let's at least wait until the end of ces in a few days to know more, both amd and sony will have some conferences

Upgrading a PC is a natural way if you want to play next gen games , because next gen games required a modern PC that can play on par with Xbox X or PS5. A PC that on par with Xbox X is around 2080 . So I am not wrong with that.

There is nothing wrong when i said , " a PC master race will buy and upgrade their PC to have better GPU"  instead buying Xbox X

Indeed having an option to set the videlity and effect is great, but many PC gamers who considerate themself as an elite usually aim to have 60 fps on games while having a visual  effect the same or better then console  that require a GPU that slightly better then the consoles.

For many on PC it's also fine to play on 1080p but  next year it will be norm and standard and many 4k Monitors and TV will be super cheap and console will have games running at 4k as standard , the more reason to have a GPU that has 4k capability like consoles.

You understand right,  a premium GPU will be a mainstream GPU next year ???

"Optimized NVMe" for gaming, huh?

Well, I guess I'll wait and see what they will do....hope it's not just marketing talk or people will rip them apart for it.
