I dunno if it will take fans away from PC

It's definitely going to monopolize the console marketplace. Who is going to walk into a gamestop or walmart and pickup and xbox 1 or WiiU when you have a PS4.5 and PS4 being marketed as better machines

Plus you got pc gamers who want the best thing if they want the best console there going to go with the ps4.5 so yes it definitely could win PC gamers as their console of choice if they like power.

I like to have a new phone every couple years Sony could be revolutionizing the console industry. Nintendo already did this with the New 3DS, and people bought that in droves. If something is popular its successor will still and if it's done right could sell more.

So when PS 4.5 comes out, will it become Cows vs Calves?

Nah, I already build my PC 2 years ago and this NEO BS won't change my mind.

@rekonmeister: And paired with a CPU tablet on the weaker side of the i3's. I almost hope he is right just to show how incompetent Sony engineers can be. They look to Cerny like he's a God.

It's not any where near an i3, the Skylake i3 come REALLY close to the Haswell i5 4460.

Yea the NEO sounds like a bottleneck to me in a way. I have a i3 4170 paired with a 960 and I'm always at 99% usage while gaming, so I'm not bottlenecked. However, I feel like the NEO is similar to pairing a 980 with my CPU, which would have drawbacks. What I'm finding hilarious about this thread is that people believe the NEO will be playing games at a 3840x2160 resolution lol. In reality, its just enough to play games at 60/1080p. It's essentially my gpu with the medium default setting.

dumb argument.

It's more like PS4 gamers collectively laughing at PC gamers with supped up rigs struggling to find exclusives to match what "PS4" exclusives will be showing.

E3 is going to be fum and I expect a lot of damage control out of the hermit fanboys. PC guys can barely control their fear as it is lol they haven't been this vocal since the last time they "thought" they has a non-indie AAA PC exclusive in The Witcher 2.

lol at you guys talking about Sony fans bickering when there are s*it tier PC gaming rigs owned by every other so-called PC gamer on this forum but they all post under the "PC" banner as if they are all sporting 980TI and Titan Xs when posting saying look at what "PC" can do lol.

Well that same logic applies to PS4/k now and it's going to be fun to watch you guys try to create some back woods logic to damage control games being on PS4 or neo after all these years of pretending that every game coming out on PC is running 1080 and 60fps max settings like you all have the same setup.

^what a bunch of hyperbole and noise. You know nothing about me - for starters I'm a happy PS4 AND PC owner. I'm not on any of these dumb "teams" you're trying to parcel me into based on a few reasonable comments I've made on this topic.

That last statement, after a bunch of finger pointing and generalizations is pretty off, by the way. PC games have run at 1080p 60fps since 1080p was invented. They have also run at higher and lower resolutions and framerates. Because PCs aren't a singular thing, but a collection of widely varied hardware. Individual PCs run games at whatever resolution they can handle. Except when devs seriously $%^& up and lock in certain resolutions and framerate, every game coming out DOES run at 1080p 60fps and DOESN'T at the same time - it depends on the individual household's hardware.

@casharmy Wrong video? The settings are at 1440p and barely cut it. 4K will push it down below 30fps. Also, these games are several years old.

Neo will have the horsepower to drive many games at 4K and 30fps using the equivalent to medium settings. I doubt devs will want that. They'll probably choose 1080p/60fps/max settings over that.

Pathetic and weak..

Look at this benchmark well dude.

See that 980Ti doing 54FPS.? See the R9 Fury doing 60 FPS.?

AMD Polaris Showcased Running HITMAN At 1440p & 60fps.

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/amd-polaris-showcased-running-hitman-at-1440p-60fps-total-war-warhammer-will-support-dx12/

Polaris 10 ran Hitman at 1440p max out at 60FPS.

AMD's Polaris 10 engineering sample has been pictured and shown running Hitman at Ultra Settings at a constant 60+ FPS at 1440p, which is an impressive feat given that in our testing the the R9 Fury X was not even able to average 60FPS at these settings.

http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/gpu_displays/amd_polaris_10_engineering_sample_pictured/1

4k medium my ass i just showed you SWBF3 running 4k Ultra setting and getting 36FPS on the R390X which was 1 frame behind Polaris 10 on Hitman,so yeah 4k Ultra is achievable or at least high,and getting 30FPS at least.

You people are to blind about this is a shame some people can't be happy for console gamers that now an option is available and they don't have to be stock for endless years..

And if the $400 price hold up man there will be even more long faces around here.

@DressYouUp said:

Are you implying that PC-only gamers will pay more for less?

More for less can you get a PC with a polaris 10 GPU or equivalent for $400 which is the rumor price.? If so tell me where so i can jump in. :).

@jhonMalcovich said:

@casharmy: your faboyism blinds you my friend. It a brand new console hardware wise ) it's two times more powerful than ps4. You have been duped by Sony. They abondoned you. Games that will be made for the new Neo will be barely runnable on PS4. The difference will be like between PS2 and PS3. When ps3 was realesed they kept making ps2 ports for a while, but one could barely call those ports playable )

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Oh god he keeps doing it..

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Now you outdone your self.

1-Who was abandon.? The PS4 Neo will run parallel with the PS4,one will be cheaper and more accessible for the user base that buy units at a lower price point.

2-Yeah because now is not like that right.? So point me at the 4k games running on PS4 like PC,oh wait can you give me the site were i can download the settings to allow my PS4 to run The witcher 3 on Ultra at 1440p.?

3-lol pathetic so games running at 1440p on PC have a generation leap vs PS4.? Hahahahaaa.

GTFU man you are truly pathetic,there will be no different he will run PS4 games like he does now,downgraded compare to the PC version,this is not new you are acting as if the PS4 was toe to toe with PC and all of the sudden it will get lower quality ports because of the new PS4,is pathetic this thread is freaking gold Hermits are trully butthurt about this,...hahahahaaa

Never have i see such damage controls and poorly make excuses to downplay something,wow this is truly a new high for hermits alto i have always see you as a closet lemm more than a true hermit.

@adamosmaki said:

1. Who said performance wise its 390x?

2. Even so i cant wait to see that mighty jaguar CPU keep up with a GPU 2-3x better than whats already in ps4 and we all see how good it copes with that let alone a polaris 10 GPU

3. Why should it take away pc gamers. If the new ps4 is $400 it means the new GPU will launch at a $200-250 price tag to consumers ( what the 7850 was going at ps4 launch ). So exactly why should any pc gamer with any semi respectable pc will fork at least $400 for a console with barely any worth while exclusives so far and not just upgrade their pc for nearly half the price?

MD has just showcased its new graphics card architecture, Polaris, at its Capsaicin event. The red team showcased its new graphics card running HITMAN at 1440p with 60fps in DX12.

Look at the benchmark at the top of this post,Polaris 10 was shown running Hitman at 1440p max out at 60FPS,the benchmark up show how it runs on other GPU's and you can see it runs it faster than a 980ti,and equal to a R9 Fury,so if in deed is polaris 10 inside the PS4 we are talking about a seriously powerful GPU.

All my argument is based on Polaris being inside the PS4 Neo any other GPU will change my line of thinking.

Why i am saying this because well that GPU is pretty powerful and no one can deny that,is matching a R9 Fury on Hitman in 1440p max out,so no the performance is pretty solid,i don't think it will launch for $200 or $250 at all the Fury is $500+ and the R390X is $400 alone this doesn't include a PC,at all.

Most PC gamers don't have a semi respectable PC.

@deadline-zero0 said:

why use BF which uses a 60fps benchmark for consoles making it easier to hit higher frames?

Is BF5 going to be 30fps on consoles now?

It was to illustrate what it can achieve 36FPS on Ultra on SWBF3 which is one of the best looking games out there is quite something dude.

Drooping to high should boost those frames to 45 FPS at least which again is a allot compare to the PS4 900 p version.

In any case, with an almost 2.3x increase in power with the upgraded hardware, PS Neo should be able to handle VR loads for PSVR easily – as well as push moderately intensive 4K content.

That GPU is enough to run 4k so i don't know why you people act like it is not..lol

@tormentos:

Most people who game on pc already have a decent Cpu/enough ram/a decent power supply in order to upgrade to a better GPU cheaper than buying a new console

Also if Polaris 10 is a $400-500 GPU you actually think Sony is gonna launch ps 4,5 at $400 and take a massive loss? That aint happening

Yeah, I don't think PC will sweating it, PS4 NEO is still going to be playing catchup to PC capability. That is the argument to PC Master Race, is that the PC is the most powerful system, not that everyone with a PC has the most powerful system.

I'm pretty certain you will find sony fans bickering between themselves just like PC does, only natural people want to brag a bit about what they have.

Also the 1080p/60 has been a standard since before PS4 was originally released.

Welcome NEO, to the far off future of 2010 resolution and frames.

We moderate cows do not endorse Tormentos' message. This is pure bullshit at it's finest lol.

We are happy to get our nice shiny PS Neo running 1080p games well and upscaling them to 4K. I don't believe there's a single moderate cow that thinks PS Neo will challenge 980Ti/R9 Fury X gaming rigs.

@tormentos: Hey bud, you should probably just let this whole thread go. I get why you're exited, these new hardware specs should provide a nice upgrade. But you're not going to be going toe to toe with hermits here.

That CPU and RAM is gonna hold back any hopes of running games well on PSVR. And the GPU/CPU combo may produce some questionable results at 1440p let alone 4K. Let's hope they just target 1080p/60 fps and upscale to 4K. Because those specs won't run a locked 30 fps at 4K. I know you like your benchmarks you've posted, but those systems are running much more ram and much better CPU's. You can't just make up an equivalent GPU and say the PS4 Neo will match that. It doesn't work that way.

By the time this system releases, i'll likely have a far more capable PC... I can only speak for myself, but the PS4.5 has little to interest me at the moment.

I already have a PS4 and I rarely touch it because I only play exclusives on it. If they can guarantee 1080p/60fps on all exclusives, then I will consider buying it. Even then, I am not exactly excited to buy another console that I will barely use.

@tormentos, @casharmy Meh, I don't see this happening. Or at least not at a scale were it would have a noticeable impact. The reasons are simple:

You have PC gamers who care about having the best graphics and performance. These people are not going to downgrade to PS4k.5, and potentially upgrading to a new PS every 3 years with a higher total cost than even upgrading a superior PC. Then you also have PC gamers who mostly play PC exclusives/genres. Unlike consoles, this makes up a large majority of PC's userbase and sales. I don't imagine fans of twitch arena shooters, mobas, mmos, F2P, sims, space games, and strategy games moving over to PS4. Also both of these types of gamers probably enjoy PC's superior online setup, and would be weary on spending more money for less features, games, and competitive scenes on PSN.

This new upgrade setup MIGHT entice PC gamers who only play single-player multiplats and don't plan on upgrading their PS often. But wouldn't these guys already have bought a vanilla PS4?

This even more simple the majority of PC gamers are under PS4 spec,that is below the one we have now,below the new PS4 would be probably 95% of PC gamers.

Most PC gamers don't have ultra powerful rigs and run 4k,so most gamers would not be donwgrading but upgrading in most cases.

There is also a part of the hermit that do like consoles,and didn't jump this gen because lack of power.

@clyde46 said:

As someone who owns a very powerful PC, this "Neo" is meaningless for me. It does not and will not have the grunt to play games at 4K whilst maintaining a respectable frame rate. If anything, I'd expect this new machine to be able to play current and furture PS4 games at 60FPS, 1080p because remember most people still have a 1080p TV and at settings that are hitting close to max with a decent amount of AA.

I'll buy one yes but thats because I have money to burn and I'm a sucker for new gadgets. As for taking from gamers from PC, I think Sony will have to work hard to convince people to get this Neo device.

I love PC gamers...lol is like they know how GPU perform but some one when the topic is consoles they will go out on a leg and deny it,if the PS4 has a Polaris GPU inside Polaris 10 36CU yeah i am 100% sure it will do 4k,just like the Fury and the R390X can,now i am basing my argument on existing benchmarks of Hitman vs how Polaris 10 ran it,by the way that Polaris 10 was 800mhz the one inside the PS4 is 911mhz it actually a little faster.

That is ok for you sadly most PC gamers don't have a setup like yours.

@Juub1990 said:

@tormentos PS3 wasn't exactly more powerful than the 360. 256MB of RAM for OS and another 256MB for games. 360 had 512MB unified and from what I remember it also had a faster GPU. PS3 had a much faster CPU. Overall, it was a wash.

Also wait, why are you mentioning the Fury? Nothing like that is gonna be inside the Neo. You also must not forget Sony and Microsoft were selling their consoles at a huge loss for the first few years and apparently, Microsoft never actually made profits back with software sales. The 360 was an endeavor that costed them more money than it brought. Sony will not risk selling a console at a lost of 120$/unit like they did with the PS3.

Last thing, comparing what was going on in 2005 to today is flawed. The landscape has completely changed.

No it wasn't a wash..

The thing was the PS3 CPU double basically as a GPU offloading task from the GPU,something the 360 crappy CPU could not do.

They both have the same memory but one was split.

My god is like you people don't read..

Fallow me here..

The Fury does 60FPS on Hitman at 1440p max out,Polaris 10 also did 1440p on hitman max out at 60FPS so basically we have 2 GPU that perform equally on hitman at the same settings,so that polaris GPU is pretty strong GPU.

AMD's Polaris 10 engineering sample has been pictured and shown running Hitman at Ultra Settings at a constant 60+ FPS at 1440p, which is an impressive feat given that in our testing the the R9 Fury X was not even able to average 60FPS at these settings.

http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/gpu_displays/amd_polaris_10_engineering_sample_pictured/1

You people need to counter my arguments with facts not with opinions,and i am posting facts here.

The Polaris 10 GPU AMD showed running Hitman was running it better than the 980ti and on part with the Fury,and sites have report it that way.

Now i can understand Hitman being a AMD biased game for beating the 980ti but that doesn't explain matching the fury,which the article i quote even say Polaris ran it 60 stable while the Fury had problems.

So now you know were i got the whole Fury argument.

MS was losing $125 and by 2008 wasn't losing on hardware,the xbox 360 also got a loss on RROD which was more than 1 billions...

@quadknight said:

4K with that CPU bottleneck? lolno.

It's a good GPU for the price (R9 380-380X according to DF) but it looks to me like the console was designed with 1080p and solid framerates in mind than 4K (which I'm happy with).

The new line of GPUs this summer will leave it in the dust so I doubt hardcore hermits will be pulled to this especially when it's so easy to upgrade your specs on PC.

CPU doesn't handle resolution in games that is a job of the GPU,dropping resolution doesn't resolve CPU issues.

@Juub1990 said:

@tormentos Seriously bro? You're gonna use Hitman a game which makes heavy use of AC(something NVIDIA cards weren't made for) and say the PS4 GPU will compare to what a 980 Ti? How about 99% of game where a 980 Ti demolishes every card not named Fury X? That's intellectually dishonest and you're purposely misleading people.

Seriously bro are you crying about AC.? When freaking downright Sabotage its own games with gameworks in order to screw AMD.?

Tell me again how the fu** Polaris matched and with more stable frames ran Hitman what excuse will you use.? The Fury does support AC.

In fact this isn't about Nvidia my buthurt frame and most of the comparison i have make is against the Fury,i see i touch a nerve there,stop crying is not like Nvidia doesn't sabotage AMD constantly,at least in Hitman the game use a hardware feature not cheaply implemented code to screw the other player.

The PS4 Neo will probably have performance around that of a AMD 280x.

This is no where close enough for 4k gaming on graphically demanding games.

Also the PS4 Neo still has a very weak CPU which will effect overall performance.

The console is still wayyyy to underpowered for PC gamers. No movement will be made.

lol most PC gamers don't have rigs as powerful as what the PS4 neo is suggesting now. With console optimization it's going to see crazy good performance compared to similar PC hardware.

The PC I built back in 2014 has more of a performance boost over the PS4k than the PS4k does over the original PS4.

It does true 4K like the Xbox One does true 1080p?

Well the xbox does true 1080p just not on all games.

Wait wasn't this what you were waiting for.? Weren't you mad because some how consoles were weak sauce so you move to PC were you pretend to be a hermit but get anal about anything having to do with the xbox.? Hahahaa

Come on man a 36CU GPU inside the PS4 neo for $400 just for laughs what GPU you have on your PC.?

I game on a 750 Ti, I've told you many times. But then I never claimed to be a graphics whore. I'm the one always arguing that PC gaming isn't just about graphics and there's a shit load of other benefits to it, I'm the one sacrificing graphical settings for 60fps. Not to mention, I personally don't care about 4K tbh.

And this is not what I've been waiting for. Though I expect a generational leap with a new console, they should have done this in the first place, I'm not buying a new console so soon. I've been against this move from the very beginning.

But back to my point, what are you talking about? I'm not talking about which platform is more powerful. Most PCs struggle with 4K and you said the PS4.5 will do true 4K. Even Sony said that won't be the case. An APU in such a small form factor. Full desktops with multiple cards struggle.

The 380x is significantly less powerful than the 390x he was talking about first of all, so thank you for reiterating my point. Second of all, 4 CU's short doesn't mean that the inferior clock speeds and boosting from inadequate cooling won't make that a wash. If each CU on a 380x is 15%-20% better than the ones found in the PS4K, I'm not sure you have an advantage here. Even so, clearly the 380x isn't a 4K video card, it couldn't max Crysis 3 (a three year old game optimized for AMD hardware) at 1080p at an average of 60. You think it's going to run future multiplats at 4K?

Also, stop using benchmarks of high end cards paired with intel high end CPU's. They make a difference.

Curiosity - do you own a high end computer?

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Polaris is actually superior to Tonga per watt.

That is funny because the Polaris used to run Hitman had 36CU and was 800mhz,the one inside the PS4 Neo is 36CU 911mhz is actually faster than the one demo running Hitman at 1440p 60FPS max out,which the fury was having problems doing.

So clearly you are feet dragging all over the place because i have posted several times the information to Polaris,and it was matching and holding more stable frames than the Fury was and Fury is considerable more powerful than the R9 380 and the X version to.

C'mon Tormentos, I usually agree with you most of the time but you're making completely baseless claims with this thread.

D: Stop it bro, you're making us cows look bad!

The new GPU is more in line with an R9 380 or R9 380X. That's definitely not a card designed with gaming in 4K in mind, it's designed for 1080p which is good enough. The PS4 will be able to upscale games to 4K I'm sure and that will keep all of us happy in the time being.Comparing it to a PC with a GTX 980 is just lolworthy.

That because most of the time we are on the same page,on this we are not and is obvious by the way i defended also the xbox one upgrade that could possibly come.

I am not making cows look bad at all man.

No Polaries 10 is not inline with the R9 380 or the X model,it has 36CU and even at 800mhz it was beating the R9 380X.

This benchmark doesn't show the 380x but does show the 390 and the 390X which have higher performance than the 380 and 380x,as you can see the 390 runs Hitman at 49 FPS,the X version runs it at 59 FPS, and the Fury at 60FPS.

AMD's Polaris 10 engineering sample has been pictured and shown running Hitman at Ultra Settings at a constant 60+ FPS at 1440p, which is an impressive feat given that in our testing the the R9 Fury X was not even able to average 60FPS at these settings.

http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/gpu_displays/amd_polaris_10_engineering_sample_pictured/1

This ^^ is the GPU say to be inside the PS4 Neo is a Polaris 10,in fact that one ^^ was running 800mhz,the PS4 one is say to be 911mhz is even faster in clock speed,so there is no freaking way that a Polaris 10 GPU with 36CU 911mhz performs like a 380X.

I was comparing it to a Fury,but on that test using Hitman it beat also the 980ti which i can understand because it use AC which the 980ti has problems with,but the Fury doesn't have those problems and that Polaris 10 was able to match it.

LOL when did I say anything about splitting the userbase? Point that out to me? Once again your comprehension is in question cause you love to take 1 sentence out of a whole paragraph and form your own wrong conclusion LOL. And you love to call someone "lemming" and "butthurt" like some 12 year old and I've stated time and time again I game on the Playstation and Xbox and Wii U so there's no game you can play that I can't so what am I getting "butthurt" about LOL.

See i told you it was my comprehension...

Hypocrite..lol

@Juub1990 said:

Yeah he's really going all out. There is no chance in hell the Neo will have anything close to a 980 Ti.

And now you are being intellectually stupid....

If the PS4 does have a Polaris 10 GPU with 36CU and 911 mhz like it is say be,it will not only be close but close enough to beat the 980ti in some games like Hitman,not all games are made to work like a globe for Nvidia even that the majority are.

Just 4 frames from the 390X to the ti.

I don't know what you call not even close,but if Polaris 10 is like the benchmark sites are sitting,the PS4 will be very close GPU wise to that 980ti i don't know in what planet you live but on this one,2 frames is nothing.

Upgrading consoles hardware is a dumb move,as it was proven in the past.

I don't think it is a hardware upgrade like the N64 or 32X and more on the line of releasing an xbox one with stronger hardware that will play the same games but with better visuals,and it is quite possible and doable as well.

And actually a cool idea that i think sony should fallow as well,much like PC you buy new hardware,you can buy a beefier Xbox or PS4 for more money and with better performance but without breaking compatibility.

@tormentos said:
@quadknight said:

Tell me you're joking to troll the lems. There's no way you can possibly think that fragmenting the PS4/Xbone fanbase and turning consoles into a pauper's PC is a good idea.

One of the consoles' main strengths lie in the fact that everyone that buys one of them is getting a closed unified experience. Fragmenting their fanbase like this has been a flop idea in the past (ask SEGA) because it takes away from this main strength. Nobody wants to check the minimum requirements of their console when they buy a game, they just want to pop it in and know they are getting the best experience possible on their console.

PS4 and Xbone both use an x86 architecture so their successors can be backward compatible with ease going forward without needing to become pauper PCs.

It would not fragment the userbase remember the xbox uses windows which doesn't fragment players based on their rigs,actually i think MS would have to do a couple of software modification and put some tags were the OS recognize the hardware it has and run settings accordingly is perfectly doable as well on sony side all they need is keep using AMD both in CPU and GPU line and they will be good.

In fact it would not nee to come on different disc at all,just a configuration that will change settings depending on the hardware that you have.

Lets see xbox one current model you insert the game the OS detect that you are on OG xbox one and runs 900p mid low setting ,vs you getting a more beef up xbox one,you insert the game the OS detect you are on xbox one upgrade and load 1080p mid high settings is quite easy,in fact games like Project Cars allow you to play with tons of options on xbox one and PS4.

Think in the lines of something like that but at a lower level.

This is why he turn on me.

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/microsoft-working-towards-console-hardware-upgrade-32992771/

Because almost 2 months ago when this rumor came for the xbox i defended the xbox instead to pretending that this what a bad idea.

Unlike you which on this thread has done nothing but downplay what i have claim.

@BigShotSmoov007 said:

I said this in the other thread, this probably has something to do with the cloud and/or Dx12 integration. Not sure how much internal upgrading can be done with the X1 but if they can make this happen then it's a very interesting and good thing for them, just have to wait and see.

But on that same thread you were pretty ok with upgrades,in fact you call it very interesting and claimed it was a good thing for them...lol

Now be linear hypocrite and tell us how is OK for sony and very interesting like you did for MS,unlike you i am not a hypocrite and i am on record defending the xbox one on this,just like you are on record..lol

Nope, even if this would be the case, the ps4 simply doesnt offer the types of games a lot of pc gamers like to play. It also lacks a lot in terms of freedom, modding is a big part of pc gaming.

If anything, I think the PS4 Neo will drive people TOWARDS PC. It's an attractive package for its price, but the PR hit is more likely to drive people away than convince someone who already knows how and enjoys working with PC hardware to scale back to a pre-packaged APU-based system

This is exactly my thinking. While I love discussing new architecture even if its at apu level. The stuff that are happening at the console scene have invigorate my quest to start upgrading my pc. Its time to start chasing max out settings on demanding games who knows maybe even play around with downsampling 1440p.

I already have a PS4 and I rarely touch it because I only play exclusives on it. If they can guarantee 1080p/60fps on all exclusives, then I will consider buying it. Even then, I am not exactly excited to buy another console that I will barely use.

So much this. With how few exclusives there are these days, consoles have become almost pointless.

@tormentos: Was it confirmed to be a Polaris 10? Also do you seriously think they're gonna shove the exact same chip inside the PS4? Sacrifices will have to be made to conserve power. I'll wait for Polaris 10 to come out and I'll wait for the PS4 Neo to come out. It'll probably use a custom chip similar to Polaris 10 but weaker. Or it might be a completely different chip with 36CUs/2304SP's and 32ROP's. It could be something between a R9 280X and a R9 290X.

If it turns out the PS4 Neo has something capable of matching a 980 Ti in some games I'll be ecstatic but I don't realistically expect that. Not to mention that CPU will be a huge bottleneck.

Polaris is actually superior to Tonga per watt.

So 14nm shrink actually has benefits! Wow a miracle!!!! *sarcasm*

The PS4 uses 125W max of power in gameplay. Assuming Polaris is 2.5x as efficient (best case scenario) and keeps the Fury's power, you're still running 100W to the GPU. Sony is going to make a 200-250W console? They are going to cool a 250W console?

I asked for the digital foundry link specifically because you claimed they had Polaris specs for the Hitman gameplay? if you have it link it to me. This thread is huge, I'm not digging for what may or may not exist. Also, that game play was DX12 on an AMD biased game. Worst case scenario for measuring v. Nvidia.

You still haven't told us what kind of magic Sony is going to pull to make a console form factor 4.1 TFLOP GPU run games better than a 980 Ti. I'm waiting.

The ps4.5 must probably rely heavily on gpgpu to even achieve 1080p 60 fps in several modern games. The cpu is still the biggest issue.

Polaris 10 is expected to have a TDP of around 125W. Isn't that more than the PS4 TDP already?(which I cannot seem to find online).

Good grief what joke of a thread...... Neo is not 4k ready sorry ..... Polaris 36 cu suppose to do 4.19 TFLOP that does not equal to 390x performance rated at 5.9 TFLOP..... nor Fury levels at 8.6 TFLOP.... 380X at 970mhz is able to do 3.97 TFLOP which means that Neo's gpu power is on par with 380X not 290/390 or fury.....

PS4 Neo is still lacking memory for true 4k high/ultra settings , still being powered by POS jaguar at 2.1 ghz which is a wider gap in feeding gpu data than old PS4.... Using PC benchmarks is hilarious since those setups are being powered by cpu's multiple times faster than PS4. fact is that you will never see the maximum gpu potential out of the console because of it still using a lackluster cpu.

@Juub1990: Thanks. I'll return the favor: Console power Usage

At 125W that would be push the PS4 well past what it is currently using, around 140(ish)W maximum.

Polaris running Hitman had no performance figures and exact settings...... it means nothing. Now Polaris vs GTX 950 Battlefront test has confirmed to be the 470 which has 16CU but the test was also running 1080p with medium settings at 60 fps. We know that the 950 is able to handle BF at 1080p at high settings with around 50 fps average.

That chart reports power consumption but the link I gave you reports TDP. I woud like to see TDP for consoles more as I think the consoles generating too much heat is far more of a concern than them consuming too much power. If they consume too much power, just attach a power brick. Yeah, it's ugly but it works. Now if they generate too much heat, it's a completely different matter.

Do we have the specs of the R9 470? Kinda doubt it uses the newer technologies and a 14nm fabrication process. If we go by history, it's more likely based on an older chip. Actually, it's more than likely an older chip with a new name, a slight clock boost and a feature here and there. Full fledged new GPU's tend to be only the higher tier models with the rest being rebrands/rebadged of existing ones.

You've got a point and all... but without the exclusive lineup that PC has, the PS4 redux isn't going to sway anyone besides PS4 owners who worship Sony and like giving money to them.

I don't think it'll cause PC gamers to abandon PC but it should give console gamers less reason to go to PC. What I had wanted out of the gen 8 consoles was 2.5 tflop GPUs. I felt that's around what was needed for solid 1080p performance. But this well exceeds that so I'm more than satisfied with the GPU, it's awesome for a console imo. My only concern is that the CPU and memory bandwidth might hold its capabilities back.

Wait, so Polaris 10 will not use HBM2? I was convincied it would. All I've seen is it has 2.5x the perf/w of 28nm. The Vega will supposedly use HBM2.

@Juub1990: 470 specs are its polaris 11, 16CU GCN 4.0 aka GCN 1.4 (Fury was like 1.3) , its suppose to use 128 bit GDDR5 or GDDR5/X. Only Vega is suppose to use HBM2, its too expensive to use on weaker gpus that wont see any real benefit over GDDR5 or GDDR5X.

@tormentos: Roflcopter ! I repeat , will be PS4 lossing people to PC and not the other way around. Your links and overall logic proving nothing since all you link are ... PC PARTS specially when there are new GPUs around the corner that you know nothing about.

I mean man , CPU and RAM wise ill be eating PS4 neo alive with my already 4 years old PC. Stop comparing PC parts to PS4 , theres nothing to be compared and theres no one in a million for PS4 NEO to make PC gamers change platform just because of outdated CPU/RAM with some clock boosts and a new GPU.

1-So in other words you refuse to admit you are wrong fine be on denial links are posted and you have nothing.

2-The PS4 Neo GPU will have one of those new parts Polaris is new.

3-Unless you have a polaris GPU,980ti or Fury X i don't think so specially a 4 year GPU which is what 7970 at best.? No way in hell you will beat a polaris 10 with that GPU,a 7950 will do even worse.

Let agree to disagree,but i already won the first round there is no fragmentation and unless you have a link proving so you have nothing.

Yea I'm a Sony fan but I like to keep things real. I know the limitations of my consoles that's why I own a gaming PC.

I'm definitely buying a PS4 Neo but I'm not under some kind of illusion that it will replace gaming PCs.

You are not keeping it real at all,you are just playing a drama queen times change so do strategies i am more piss with sony for charging me freaking $50 for online play,and i heard you say nothing bout that.

And just because you know your limitation does that mean every one most be stock for another 8 years with old ass hardware.?

No now there is an option no one is forcing you to buy it,at all so there is no point in crying about it,when is not mandatory like online play freaking is and we have to forcefully pay for it.

WTF all that crying to end up saying i will buy one.? There is no illusion and i also own a damn PC and i have being gaming on PC since the mid 90's before that i was a mac gamer,i didn't started playing yesterday nor i am new to gaming on PC.

@tormentos:

Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 are modern multiplatform titles that are performance demanding. As others have said, this isn't the last generation anymore stop hiding behind the "optimization" shield, the PS4 and the PC are almost apples to apples performance wise - x86 and GCN.

You're not understanding my point. When is the PS4K coming out, late next year? You think games are going to become easier to run? Hell no, especially when DX12 hits the mainstream and the Playstation has to work around all of the lighting implementations and features that come with it.

When did I say anything about the PS4K not using Polaris 10?

Why should I care about the extra CU's!? We know it is 4(ish)TFLOPs, we are working from there based on evidence. That doesn't set it a league apart from everything on the planet and we know its computational output. The only "X" factor is how far apart Polaris architecture and the 14nm process is from the 200x/300x series. Like most console fanboys, you're arguing from vapor.

Source for the Digital Foundry data? I couldn't find it.

Just to make sure this is on record, are you honestly saying that the PS4K will have a faster GPU than a 980 Ti?

The R9 Fury is a 7+ TFLOP 56CU 1.1GHZ 512 GB/S GPU with HBM and draws more power than two PS4s combined. And you think that the PS4 will perform similar?

Let that sink in...

Also, don't use DX12 benchmarks. PS4 isn't using DX12.

And what the fu** is Hitman,Tomb Raider and SWBF3 last gen games.? Funny enough you chose to broken as shit games that had to get patches to fix the terrible problems they had.

I haven't even talk about optimization what the fu** are you smoking if you don't have anything to counter my arguments i advice you to just drop,you are not looking good at all.

WTF hahaha DX12 mean shit the PS4 API is actually lower level than DX12 will ever be and has being here since day 1 unlike DX12 which was late by 3 years,there is nothing DX12 bring to the table that the PS4 now doesn't have and let alone PS4 Neo.

Why should I care about the extra CU's!? We know it is 4(ish)TFLOPs, we are working from there based on evidence. That doesn't set it a league apart from everything on the planet and we know its computational output. The only "X" factor is how far apart Polaris architecture and the 14nm process is from the 200x/300x series. Like most console fanboys, you're arguing from vapor.

Wait wait wait

It is obvious that you don't know what the fu** you are arguing,and now is pretty clear why should you care about the extra CU you ask? Because on AMD GPU performance you fool comes from stream processors inside CU the more CU you have the better the performance it is like that in all GCN line.

7750,<7770<7790<7850<7870<7960< 7970 this is GCN,is the same reason why the PS4 can achieve 1080p far more easy than the xbox one because more CU = more performance so yeah you should care about the extra freaking CU they are 4 more.

No what i am saying is that it will be close enough in some games to beat it,if the Polaris is in deed the GPU inside it.

Loading Video...

Polaris is more efficient and has higher performance per watt than Tonga XT dude.

And yes i can the PS4 not having DX12 is not a con is a Pro Sony's tool is even lower level than DX12 bro just in case you didn't know it lemming.

@quadknight said:

Yea 4K is really taxing. Not even my current rig allows me to game in 4K with max settings. I have to tone down settings to get 4K at good framerates.

Even 980Ti and R9 Fury X can't max out modern games at 4K and get 60fps. The new line of Polaris and Pascal GPUs coming this summer should make this easier but at the moment it costs a lot of resources. That's why Tormentos claim that we'll get comfortable 4K in a $400 console lolworthy.

Thankfully the PS4 is a console so 30FPS at 4k could be achievable,unless you want to pretend now that most games on consoles are 60FPS.

lol worthy is your damage control and bitter tears about sony's move get a grip,before you spew any more crap BACK UP YOUR CLAIM I did..

I have a link posted with information benchmarks and you have oh your words and the support of a hypocrite lemming that is all hyped when the upgrade in question was say to be for the xbox one but now here acts as if upgrades were bad.

@04dcarraher said:

Actually Maxwell can handle Async, but the method of using it is different from AMD's. And that Nvidia didn't enable Async usage until last month in drivers. Problem is that with DX12 its all up to the devs with coding software to hardware usage.... and fact is that Hitman was an AMD sponsored game says it all, hence why you see performance bias between Nvidia and AMD even in DX11(no Async) with Hitman. Also whats funny is that DX11 vs DX12 with Hitman and AMD gpu's sees less than a 10% gain with i7 cpu. And less than 4% gain with FURY X. Now moving onto the Neo "rumored specs" with a 2.1 ghz 8 core jaguar and 36CU Polaris based gpu which would sit between a 380x and 390. That 2.1 ghz jag cpu will once again hold back the new 2x stronger gpu.

Considering most games are GPU bound and not CPU bound i say it depends on what is done,but even if you are right and it sit between a 380X and a 390 that still is quite a huge jump,and great value for $400.

@Juub1990 said:

@tormentos For one, there is no current GCN GPU with 36CU's. The problem with the premise of your post is that you are assuming the PS4 will use the exact same GPU as the Polaris 10 that was recently leaked which is flawed. It might be a custom chip based on it but there will be key differences which will more likely than not, put the PS4 at a step above. We know Polaris 10 will use HBM2 and we know the PSNeo will stick to GDDR5. We also know the Neo's chip won't be able to draw nearly as much power. Hell, if anything it might be a new custom chip using GDDR5 with 2304 Stream Processors and 32 ROP's. You can't just assume it'll be a Polaris 10 shoved inside a PS4.

The problem with your premise is that you are taking the only GPU that exist with 36CU and want to water it down some how which wasn't the case with the PS4 at all,the PS4 has a 7870 with 2CU disable,but as far as the rest go it was even improved it was custom modify for better compute and has extra aces the normal 7870 doesn't even have and which were spotted latter on on AMD 290X GPU which is way ahead power wise of the PS4.

So the customization done were to improve the silicon not water it down.,so maybe 2CU less off for redundancy while having am mild clock boost of 111mhz compare to the one shown,which would not be a bad trade off at all and still would have 2CU more than the 32 versions from AMD.

Polaris run between 100 and 135 watts is much more efficient that Tonga and Tonga XT as well.

36CU so tell were they will cut something.?

If you're looking for PC that can hit 1080p/30fps on all games you're looking to spend about $600. The Neo is really good value for money for what it does so I don't know why he's trying to make it sound better than it already is. 1080p/30fps on high/ultra settings is really good for a console.

A true 4K PC will cost way more than a thousand dollars since you will have to go with a dual GPU setup. Something like a 2 X GTX 980Ti setup.

Oh brother a $400 PC will do 1080p 30 FPS with easy using a 750ti.

If you think that sony is putting a Polaris GPU with 36CU inside the PS4 for 1080p 30FPS you are totally derange,you don't buy a piece of silicon like that to get 30FPS.

My god...lol

For all the nonsense in this thread, cows be happy if this gets you to 1080p and a stable constant 60 FPS on all games (which it prob won't), this won't magically transform a $500 piece of hardware into a pixel 4k wonderland.

No body is saying that blue,at least i am not what i am saying is that it can reach 4k,if that GPU is in deed inside the PS4,Resolution isn't a job of the CPU so that Jaguar will not hold back that GPU unless the game in question requires a good CPU,and still 4k will be achievable what would suffer would be frames.

This is something i find odd people still believe that CPU have anything to do with resolution,when in reality you don't eliminate a CPU bottleneck by lowering resolution,you can do a simple test on your PC running some encoding for movies and watching the CPU usage,change resolutions and you will see that your CPU usage would still be the same irrelevant of the resolution you are using.

LOL!

No. Just no.

First of all, there aren't any single graphics cards out there that are truly "4k" video cards.

This, the PS4 will not be true 4k gaming, at best it's going to upscale, because currently the Xbox One and PS4 probably can't.

And your argument is based on.? Links please show me how Polaris 10 can't achieve 4k.

Maybe you can ask him...lol

@rekonmeister said:

It's sad but my PC outlasted 2 console generations, the only thing that got changed was my GPU and it's over 2 times faster than my old HD 7770, this 580 cost me 55 pounds second hand and came with a water block, it's an EVGA FTW HydroCopper 2.

So what components your PC have.?

@oflow said:

What could happen is Sony fans might realized for the price of all the stuff Sony is trying to milk them for they could actually buy a PC that can do 4k unlike the PS4.5.

Considering that you CAN SELL YOUR CURRENT PS4,i say you would not get true 4k with what you really would spend on PS4 Neo.

You can get $275 for your PS4 or more,and you would need only $125 more which mean you spend $400 got back $275 loss $125 + another $400 spent which is $525 i don't think you can get true 4k with that hell not even 1440p.

@clyde46 said:

@tormentos: You are well and truly in the loony bin.

Probably for you but you can't prove me wrong on this,if Polaris 10 is inside the PS4,it can do 4k,how well depend on the game and how demanding it is.

Going by what has being shown.

Yep. He really thinks the PSNeo at 400$ will trade blows with a 980 Ti in a best case scenario.

Well again i just posted a benchmark what do you have to prove i am wrong other than your opinion,go ahead prove to me how polaris 10 is not even close to a 980ti like you already try to imply,the problem here is most of you are arguing with your opinion,so either prove my links wrong or let it go.

@tormentos: How about we wait until we get all the specs? A single benchmark with limited information isn't nearly enough to draw a final conclusion. It literally never happened that a mid-range next gen chip beat out or traded blows with the top dawg from the previous gen. Especially not when it is a big die like a Ti. Like I said, I would be really happy if the PS4 could do that but I am not holding my breath for that.

Lol tormentos is having a meltdown... again.

No i am just having a blast with you people excuse..

But but but is a new console that start from zero sony has to win developers again...My god..lol

@lostrib said:

This is giving me flashbacks to the threads we got before the new generation started, like LoosingEnds and the x720 using next generation GTX 990 GPUs

Well unlike him i am not using MisterXmedia and have posted already several reputable sites about it.

@adamosmaki said:

@tormentos:

Most people who game on pc already have a decent Cpu/enough ram/a decent power supply in order to upgrade to a better GPU cheaper than buying a new console

Also if Polaris 10 is a $400-500 GPU you actually think Sony is gonna launch ps 4,5 at $400 and take a massive loss? That aint happening

A Fury is $500 and not every one is on a decent CPU considering half of steam still on dual core.

That is because you on your fantasy island think that sony will pay even close to $400 for a damn Polaris GPU,they wold pay AMD a royalty per chip and have it made in the cheapest country on this planet.

Much like the Iphone cost $200 to make and people pay $700 cash for one.

@quadknight said:

We moderate cows do not endorse Tormentos' message. This is pure bullshit at it's finest lol.

We are happy to get our nice shiny PS Neo running 1080p games well and upscaling them to 4K. I don't believe there's a single moderate cow that thinks PS Neo will challenge 980Ti/R9 Fury X gaming rigs.

You are and idiot and unlike you i don't need some one behind me saying that i am right,you are one of the first morons who claim it would split the user base for the xbox 2 months ago,i defended the xbox one on it,juts like i defend the PS4 and guess what you,and several other hermits,lemmings and some cow who also hide behind PC were WRONG.

PlayStation 4/Neo Game Compatibility

Sony is very keen on developers supporting both systems simultaneously, and is motivating developers to ensure that there is Neo support in all PS4 titles from Q4 onwards this year. It's also firm on unifying the platforms with little or no exceptions:

  • Neo-only or PS4-only games are not permitted (remember that Neo can still run unenhanced titles - developers are simply prohibited from locking out audiences of either console).
  • All games you purchase, whether via disc or from the PlayStation Store, should offer both PS4 and Neo functionality with no extra costs associated in running titles on a different console.
  • All new titles with Neo support use unified packages that run on both platforms. The CPU binary is identical, while three GPU binaries (shared, PS4-specific and Neo-specific) are all contained in the same package.
  • All DLC and additional content is entirely cross-platform. Unified downloads are used for both this, and basic game patches.
  • Neo support for old games is allowed via 'forward compatibility' patching - but this will not be allowed for new titles.
  • Developers cannot supply exclusive gameplay features for Neo owners. If the game has a split-screen mode, it must be available on both systems. However, modes can be enhanced - so a two-player split-screen mode on PS4 could be expanded to allow a four-player variant on Neo.
  • Developers cannot add exclusive content to either PS4 or Neo systems.
  • If there's a bug in Neo-specific code, developers are not allowed to divert Neo owners to the PS4 codepath. The game must be fixed.

But but but fragmentation....lol i was right you were not and the best part is i got it right defending the xbox one first..hahahahaa

Funny isn't now run and seek other cows support you certainly need it after that ownage.

So i feel pretty good knowing that i was right and you were not,with or without backup you were wrong.

@RyviusARC said:

The PC I built back in 2014 has more of a performance boost over the PS4k than the PS4k does over the original PS4.

The one you build with multiple GPU which in GPU alone you spend more than double of what the PS4 cost.?

Yeah i remember that PC.

LOL I don't care why he turned on you, only you care about that nonsense, I didn't even know you'll was a tag team lol. Once again your comprehension is low, when did I say I was against upgrades? Point that out to me lol. What a clown.

First of all i never say we were a tag team it was you who claim he turned on me fool,it most be that pathetic ass memory of yours.

No your Hypocrisy is high which is different.

@sholoza said:

Last I checked at least 30-40% of PC gamers had better specs than PS4 by now. And with how many PC gamers there is, that is several times more than the number PS4 units sold. That number will only rapidly go up. I think these people will be quicker to upgrade their PC piece by piece than shell out $499 all at once on PS4.5k, plus the PSN charging for an inferior online. Especially when knowing that they will have to shell out another $499 in 3 years if they want to keep up to date, rather than pick and choose what parts they want to upgrade on their PC to stay up to date. The 95% number you made up will likely also drop by the time this comes out, and even more so once it reaches any significant unit sales.

You also have to remember these people also like to have great and competitive online, something PS4.k doesn't seem to offer. Same goes for genre preference, not sure if these people will drop to a much smaller library if they are already used to PC. If they wanted to make the switch, they already would have with PS4. Not the slightly superior PS4.5k, which won't even run games at 4k 60 fps, and that ensures they will be in a gauranteed loss every 3 years.

In your fantasy island 30 to 40%b have better specs than the PS4.. My god.

@04dcarraher said:

Good grief what joke of a thread...... Neo is not 4k ready sorry ..... Polaris 36 cu suppose to do 4.19 TFLOP that does not equal to 390x performance rated at 5.9 TFLOP..... nor Fury levels at 8.6 TFLOP.... 380X at 970mhz is able to do 3.97 TFLOP which means that Neo's gpu power is on par with 380X not 290/390 or fury.....

PS4 Neo is still lacking memory for true 4k high/ultra settings , still being powered by POS jaguar at 2.1 ghz which is a wider gap in feeding gpu data than old PS4.... Using PC benchmarks is hilarious since those setups are being powered by cpu's multiple times faster than PS4. fact is that you will never see the maximum gpu potential out of the console because of it still using a lackluster cpu.

AMD's Polaris 10 engineering sample has been pictured and shown running Hitman at Ultra Settings at a constant 60+ FPS at 1440p, which is an impressive feat given that in our testing the the R9 Fury X was not even able to average 60FPS at these settings.

http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/gpu_displays/amd_polaris_10_engineering_sample_pictured/1

You were saying.? So is Polaris at 800mhz with 6CU was able to match and run more stable Hitman at 1440p than the Fury and R390X then self how come you claim is does not equal performance of the R390X or Fury.?

You know what the sad par is that you will totally going to fu**ing ignore the link i posted there and continue to use your pathetic bitter opinion on this, now either prove to me that Polaris 10 can't match a Fury and a R390X of STFU,i think you people here are talking to much shit but i don't see any single one of you coming forward and saying here tormentos look at this benchmark that compare Polaris to Fury and the R390X to even stir my opinion.

Here is an Assignment for any of you find me a benchmark that show polaris with lower results than this and i will change my argument,now no invented crap find and link me to reputable sites showing Polaris didn't match that fury running Hitman.

Flops are meaningless on this comparison mainly because of this.

Is not 100% the same architecture as old GCN.

4K for video ? sure, 1080p 60fps? sure.. 4K at 15fps? sure LOL.
