Will a GTX 670/680 be able to keep up with Next gen consoles?

I don't just mean at launch, I mean will a GTX 670/680 be able to keep up with 2015 games and beyond? Frankly I don't think my GTX 670 would age well into a consoles lifetime.GioVela2010

Why do you care? You don't game on PC.

We don't know. We don't have next-gen specs beyond rumours. We have no idea the graphical fidelity that will come.

Furthermore, it's not a straight comparison, as you'll likely be looking at different resolutions.

No sh!t lol. 

I do love his threads though, it's great to watch the ownage he receives.  I wonder when we'll get our first pictures of car seats?

Raise your hands if you think that this is a legit question, and not complete bait...

In 2015, it'll obviously be outdated and dwarfed by new PC hardware, but I think it'll still be able to compete with console standards and pull off some medium settings in most games...

Go home, TC, you're drunk.

Are you an idiot? The cheapest ive seen a GTX 680 was £350. That probably costs more than the next gen consoles itself.

All signs point to "hell yes". 

Can you imagine is people trolled one another on the streets in the manor they do on web forums? Going up to a load of steroid heads and saying "yea I know you have big muscles, but I bet you have a small d*ck (no idea of the TOU of this forum). Then, as they are getting beat up they simply laugh sayig "lololol u so mad". 

At console standards (720p and 30fps) sure. But i don't think you'll be getting the performance you want playing late next-generation games at 1080p+ and high settings.

Yeah, but your 580 still holds up rather well in most cases, and even when 700-series comes out, you'll still be able to play plenty of games at high settings, I'm sure...

Though I wonder, for how long will the tech keep improving so much, when will we reach the point where it starts being meaningless?

On the CPU side, we're already awfully close to it I'd say, most regular applications make very little use out of the more advanced mainstream chips like the 2600K, 3770K, and today, was just checking some rumored Haswell benchmarks, they pack very little improvement over 3770K, seems the biggest focus is on the IGP...

The weird thing is that you can go to youtube and watch somebody doing exactly that :P.

Riiiiight.

If you're expecting next-gen consoles to be as beefy as those cards, expect a hefty price tag. (which will not happen)

BUt what if i want to upgrade?

If a gtx 680 is having a hard time with current gen console looking games then imagine what it will be like when there are next-gen looking console ports. Pc gamers are already complaining till this day of games like GTA IV.

Definitely not, I'd wait on upgrading PCs right now and see how the next-gen consoles play out.

Well, since Intel CPUs already do a good job at outperforming AMD offerings, guess it's not suprising they're focusing less on the actual CPU performance these days, and more on IGP, trying to give AMD a run for their money on that front as well...

But yeah, I wonder what sort of CPUs we'll be having next gen, how much will they affect our games, and will powerful 8+ cores start making their way into competent gaming PCs...

Frankly I don't think you even own a GTX 670 or even game on PC for that matter.

lmao. funny yo mentioned it, Im playing GTA IV as you can see on my sig, as a matter of fact playing at 1080P @120FPS ( Asus VG278H ), FXAA, 16AF, modded and I have no issue what so ever, not even a single lag.

Oh god...

True story.  Microsoft Word has never looked so good for him.

Nvidia GTX 660 and better will easily keep up, especially the GeForce Titan which is rumored to be more powerful than x2 SLI GTX 680's!

the game runs at around 100 fps, I said 1080P @120FPS, even mentioned my monitor model.

why would you want keep up with next  Gen consoles when no one knows exactly what they are capable of?

And with that TC never returned

How is it 120fps if the game is running at 100fps? or did you just mean that your monitor is 120Hz
