Drivers and SDK wasn't something we have been hearing that MS is the masters with DX12 and that abstraction wouldn't make much difference versus the higher or lower level of the API?

On the other hand, we have all been drowned in 12 Tflops > 10, and even xbox contributed to it (to say nothing of its fan base).

There was talk about PS5, being a PS4pro 1,5 and that games would only run 1440p.
There was talk about PS5 not being able to do raytraceing.
Stuff about it not being RDNA 2, and xbox fans on forums were being very loud about it, and everytime someone said lets way and see.
They would post meme and tease people about it.

All that was just FUD (fear, doubt, uncertainty, PR) from xbox and its fans (trolls).

Some are saying its not surpriseing that xbox series x, runs worse, but most weren't saying so before the launch of the two consoles.

Call of Duty, and Assasins Creed Valhalla run better on the PS5.
Devil May Cry only has a slight advantage to the XSX.

That entire 12 > 10, hype hasnt come to pass.

I dont believe its down completely to SDKs and Dev Machines access.
I think the differnce in performane between the two consoles is just not as large as many Xbox fans were expecting it to be.
Its now showing that. There is more to performance that just theoretical peak compute numbers.

Do we really need to worry ourselves with what the bottom tier console warz trolls say about either console? It's not as if we didn't see a ton of FUD about the XSX and how the PS5 was supposed to be so much better. Especially when you mention stuff like TF, and RDNA. You yourself have quoted people from GAF who peddled FUD about XSX and talked about how PS5 would be RDNA3 and XSX would be more like 1.5 and also before the PS5 reveal would speculate about how the PS5 would have 15TF of power and 32GB of RAM.

Furthermore you're listing three cross gen launch games with small differences here or there and extrapolating it out for the whole generation and power of each machine, and yet you're also talking about FUD? Doesn't make much sense.

I mean he's here right now, trying to defend one box from another, while at the same time trying to make it like it's much about nothing, but still trying to put PS in the better light.

It was stupid back then, and it's stupid af now to see this level, this silly amount of depth for one game on two systems. It's the fanboy wars all over again.

Yes, people ignore that customsation of chips isn't something new or unheard of in consoles.
You could take out a part of RDNA2 and change it to something you rather used instead (which there would be a reason for, otherwise why bother doing it?). It could be better off, for being customised differntly than full RDNA2, we dont know.

Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised by the resolution discrepancy on AC Valhalla. Were people really expecting most multiplats to have parity on XSX and PS5? XSX is 12.1 tflops, PS5 is 10.3 tflops best case scenario, with the potential for it to fall below that if a game is both CPU and GPU intensive (PS5 can't run both the CPU and the GPU at max clocks at the same time as far as we know), and then you have to take into account that some game engines tend to respond better to more CU's than to higher GPU clocks, which would give XSX an even bigger advantage on those games. Resolution is the easiest GPU feature to scale down on a game, so it makes sense that most multiplats will have higher resolution on XSX.

The question will be how large the resolution gap is on the multiplats, 1800p vs 2160p (4K), 1900p, 2000p, a dynamic scaler for resolution to better take advantage of PS5's variable GPU frequency? In the end, the resolution difference will probably be small enough that you will only be able to tell a difference in a side by side video, or on a really large screen (like 70 inch or more probably). 

They broke quote trees again so I'm not going to bother quoting, but thanks for linking that thread, that's exactly what I was talking about. You're complaining about FUD and posts from "Xbox users on forums" yet you're fine with quoting people like geordieimp or whatever from SonyGAF, a complete Sony shill who has done nothing but flame console warz there with absolute nonsense. Most of the PS5 = RDNA3 rumors and X|S = RDNA 1.5 stuff came from him and his ilk there. Also, how is SonyGAF console wars? SonyGAF = the Sony fanbase on GAF. There is also NFLGAF, NBAGAF, XboxGAF, etc etc. I don't think you understand what you are saying.

There is an "18%" gap in power between the consoles, at worst. My post that you quoted literally says it will be interesting to see how the difference plays out over the generation. It doesn't say Series X games will blow PS5 away or something so again, you seem confused as to what you're trying to convey here. And yeah, I know you've argued PS5 might be more customized and SSD and blah blah but as others are telling you, that's after years of you arguing about TF. You only went in on customization and etc because PS5 has less TF.

Not to even mention that at the end of the day you're talking about FUD and then trying to basically call the entire generation in terms of capabilities, based on a few cross gen launch titles LOL.
