Rumor: Ps4 devs have access to 7GB GDDR5 RAM

:shock:

PC elitist shitstorm in 3...2...1

edit: Here is the topic from neogaf

gs embed feature is a pain in the butt:oops:

Speculation by fanboys said devs had a lower allocation, good to hear I suppose. That's what the Wii U OS is using, about 1GB of RAM. I'm sure the 720 will use about the same.

Looking forward to seeing more games.

So thats 1GB dedicated to the Sony OS / Sony Kinect rip-off LOLRR360DD

According to the article, the Wii U uses 1GB of RAM and it only has 2GB of RAM. The 720 will also use a set amount of RAM for their OS, probably in the same area (between 512mb to 2GB). I don't understand the "LOL" because even the PS360 generation consoles has dedicated RAM set aside for the console OS.

Also, it seems to me you haven't heard of Eyetoy if you think Sony has a Kinect Rip-off. It's a dead give away you are just troll posting I suppose. *yawn*

If that's true that the OS uses 1Gb RAM...well, cows just lost the "but Windows uses so much of your hardware" excuse.

That's a gig more than I thought they would have.

I was figuring about 2 gigs for the OS and whatnot, 6 gigs shared for the games. That's plenty.

For 1080p you only really need 2 gigs for GPU and I can't think of a single PC game that takes more than 3 gigs of ram when it's running on a 64 bit machine. Even the big ones like Shogun 2, ArmA 3, Planetside 2.

Either way, the RAM won't be what limits the PS4 any time soon.

Unneeded IMO with 7gigs the RAM will never be bottle-necked but the CPU, GPU can still be and will be. IMO they just put 8 gigs because M$ said they were, but MS is using windows 8 in their OP system which is a RAM hog. 7 gigs is overkill IMO for the CPU and GPU they're using I'll be surprised if 1 game net Gen uses all that RAM even once.

its not an overkill, more like a save future?

And funny enough, after all this talk of 8GB...

mitu123

[QUOTE="ShadowriverUB"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"] They however never state how much memory will be allocated for streaming/recording. So if background tasks and OS is allocating 1gb I would think along with the other features 2-3gb might be typical usage with all features +OS. So 5-6 gb will be for the game cache and video.clyde46

lol ps4daily...the same guys that made the rumor of the ps4 CPU running over 2.0ghz and the same guys that said PS3 RSX can do 400 Gigaflops lol,they made up sh!t out thin air.

Funny thing people were saying the games shown were only using 1.5GB. Yet they could have used 3GB and they didn't.

So that just goes to show you. All that extra RAM is wasted on weak HW.

Truth_Hurts_U

They were using it because were developed on the garbage PC hardware, with 680GTX that has only 1.5GB VRAM

Now that they have finilized kits and 8GB as final spec to use they can go all out

PC lol

The PS4 is using PC architecture. Loosey, are you going senile? clyde46

No it is not, PC does not have anything similar to unified VRAM for all purposes

Imagine that PS4 with the unified VRAM, both saves bandwith/cycles when PC needs to move textures around different ram pools AND at the same time uses extremly fast VRAM for main ram, which PC does not have either

I'll believe it when I see it

No one gives a shit in 3...2...1.... Most of you have no idea what RAM does for gaming in 3....2....1 Some of you probably think there's an actual live mini Ram in your ps3 on a treadmill in 3....2....1SuddenlySudden

Wow, if true.

But it's Ps4 daily lol.

As expected.

Mooooo !! Ill be a cow this gen it seems !! PS4 seems solid to me and i cant wait to learn more about the system.. When developers praising it its a very good sign. periodAzatiS

PC people think that anyone cares if PC has more raw power, when they dont have a single game like Deep Down or Agnis to use it

Plus missing all exlusive JRPGs that are my top priority, while PS4 already got Witcher 3 and the only proper Diablo 3 version (offline, direct hero control)

PC gaming is for laughs

Funny fact: xbox 360 Witcher 2 version has like 1000x more next gen lighting than PC version

LOL, PC, LOL LOL

Let's hope that $ony reserve enough ram for the inevitable Durango features that they try and add with a last ditch attempt to stay relevant :?

As far as I know, the X720 will be using more RAM for it's OS because of Kinect.

Yet Witcher 2 looks best on PC.

Also what is you're agenda here ?

That's what I was just attempting to explain to the alt fanboy a second ago.

I'm sure the RAM allocation will be in the same neighborhood, but I'm not worried about ituntil I know more about the machine itself.

If you like knights with armor that glows like a lamp at night and have no next gen proper lighting and shadows, sure

If you like next gen realistic lighting, with actual light source, proper shadows and no glow/bloom, it is only found on xbox 360 version

LOL Nintendo, of course their OS is bloated to hell. And yeah, I have heard of that webcam.

Were are people getting all these details from about a console with no official acknowledgment as of yet.

Man Ty, doesn't it feel odd when these troll accounts from back in the day some how become credible in the eyes of these new kids on the block of SW? Man it's like when someone tried to emulate that PS3 threadmill thread with the shitty WiiU. :(

What are you talking about ? X360 has lower setting plenty of other stuff.

There's nothing next gen about X360, it doesn't even have a actual sun in the Witcher 2.

xbox 360 version has next gen lighting, PC has a bloom instead of that

Check it out, it may destroy the little dream world PC gamers live in, but is a fact

Digital Foundry has all the pics to prove it

Sounds good.

The only thing I really dislike about the PS3 is the pain in the neck slow opertating system.

Dude, are you seriously attacking my comment?

Where have you been? From all the rumors about the next gen systems dedicated RAM for the OS, PS4 was rumored to use 512mb (when it had 4GB GDDR5) now it's doubled, and the X720 was rumored from quite a few sources that the OS would take 3GB of RAM, majority because of Kinect.

Before you start attacking me, you should be clear of what my post assumed. I said "As far as I know". I didn't state it as fact like you assumed I did.

The fanboy reaching is getting hilarious.

It wasn't an attack, more of an outburst of astonishment at people "knowing" so much about something that we have little to no solid information on at this point.
