This is the GPU that powers the $300-$350 Wii U........

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="StrongDeadlift"] Sure as hell didnt buy it for games :(StrongDeadlift

If you dont mind me asking, would you mind telling me what Wii U titles you've been playing on your Wii U? :)

I thought the MCM (i.e. CPU + GPU on same substrate) costed Nintendo only 40$ to make.

The expensive thing on the U is the controller which cost more than some low-end tablets to make.

Doesnt matter how people get around the Wii:U specs and what they do to compensate for the Wii:U's flaws and weaknesses..

Its really underpowered and barely capable of outperforming 360/PS3 which are 6 year old machines.

The competition or Next Gen has not even arrived and by that time, there would be no reason to own a Wii:U besides a few regular Nintendo Games.

Nothing supurising about that.  

The 4650 was priced at $69 dollars (for the general public) when it launched in 2008.  

Consola manufacturers pay significantly less than that. That GPU alone in the Wii U's MCM prolly costs them $16.  The rest of the cost is likely manufacturing.  

Sony, for instance, payed $128 dollars per PS3 for the RSX at launch, while the PC equivalent card retailed for $600 for the general public.

Well, RSX was also downgraded in some ways. (i.e. less ROPs, 128-bit memory bus, ect.)

But overall you're right.

Console manufactures get the components for much cheaper than the general public does. (i.e. "OEM" distibution and deals)

MH Tri Ultimate 

NintendoLand 

ZombiU

Scribblenauts 

Sonic All-Stars Racing

COD Black Ops 2

Lego City: Undercover

NSMBU Need for Speed

Amazing Spiderman: Ultimate Edition

And I am missing some retail and digital games ;)

So in other words, you bought your Wii U to play:

-NintendoLand

-A port of a 3DS game

-360 multiplats (All of which excluding NFS are the worst versions of those multiplats)

-and Lego City Undercover

Congratulations :)

However, I do get a kick out of the Wii U being so pressed for games, that sheep have to cling to games like Lego City Undercover, knowing damn well you wouldnt give a chit about that on PS3 ;)

None of which are anywhere to be found, nor will they be anytime soon.  Myamoto's game is confirmed to not be @ E3, etc.  

And when the next Zelda, Mario show up, its not like they're gonna come out in 2 months.  They likely wont be out this year.  

At least Killzone: Shadow Fall, and Infamous: Second Son (which are both now launch titles) are actual tangible products that exist. And Sony showed them on the first day of the PS4's public existance.  

The last SMG2 came out in 2010, Skyward Sword in 2011.  Xenoblade in 2010 (and were just now hearing about Xenoblade 2)  

What the hell have these guys been doing for 3 years that they have not even a trailer and barely an acknowlegement of their existance for their new console that will have been in the public eye for 2 years by the time their projects come out? :?

so basically you know ps3 stomped 360 and now you are trying to bash the wii. Oh well, i guess you need to at least have a chance in an argument.

they don't need to. they have more than enough money to build a competent gaming machine. seems like they were betting on the casuals and failed misreably. i brought a deluxe day one... but it only gets used for netflix. yup, have mario brothers to.

When the Quad launches at 400 bucks, Sheep will have to concede that the Wii U was a rip off. Just like the 3DS.

Obviously_Right

omg is it being nicknamed the "Quad" now? :lol:

Playstation nicknames are funny, I remember when they called the PS3 the "Trey". :P

Dumb thread. Wii U's price is due to the tablet and all internal components combined, in conjunction with Nintendo's desire not to lose much money on each unit.

The GPU is heavily modified. some gafers were talking about how it could potentially be a different GPU.

As if I even care about what card is in the Wii U. Its graphics are good enough for me and if I want to play graphic stunners I have my PC and 570GTX for that. I bought the Wii U to play games, not watch games. So enjoy your fail troll thread, I know living in Republic of Butthurtia isn't fun with your sucky PS4.

Wii U is already trash compared to the PS4. Trying to play the hermit card doesn't make your worthless purchase look any better.

I think we already know that in terms of graphic cards, most consoles will go outdated in months, if not by launch, however, I love the games Nintendo puts out, so this gen Im going WII U, PS4 and for the first time getting a gaming PC , instead of an xboxelchiquilin

And it only costs $124.99 dollars. 

For the same price as a Wii U console, you could purchase not one, but two GTX560's, (each one about 2.5 times as powerfull (FLOPs) as the Wii U GPU), for the equivalent of 5 times the power, and twice the gaming ram of the Wii U.  The CPU in everyone reading this thread's PC right now is also better than the Expresso that is in the Wii U (providing you arent posting from a potato).   

You're welcome.  

StrongDeadlift

Why are you comparing an NV gpu to AMD in terms of GFLOPS? They perform ~the same, as equivalent models, but the gflops AMD tends be 1.5x-2x higher.

To be more accurate, that 4650 is ~5.5x less, in terms of GFLOPS, as the AMD 6950 (~=560ti).

Cool, what about the cost of everything else in the system?

Chutebox

Huh, weird, I don't remember my WiiU being 2.4 inches high, it's almost like it doesn't use hardware that you can pick up on the shelf.bobbetybob

[QUOTE="k2theswiss"]

You need a psu/cpu/ram also

StrongDeadlift

Providing you arent posting from a potato or a smart device, your PC right now even if its off the shelf already has all of those, and likely a more powerful CPU/more ram than the Wii U.  

If the Wii U's GPU is actually comparable to that... damn.

The GPU in my 2009 laptop is better than that (from the same line actually, the 4670).
