Lol at everyone going on and on about bandwidth. Kudos to them for making the argument about that. But it wasn't the BIG issue. The GPU was and almost nobody is talking about that.

It didn't take long before the Cow alts got here. clyde46

Look, I've been among the people being critical in here ... AND I'M AN XBOX FANBOY! I want it to be better. I haven't owned a Sony console since PS1 and really don't want to have to back to Sony. But so far I've seen no meaningful improvements in this thread. If they didn't fix the GPU then it's still shit.

I don't know why people are getting excited about bandwidth if it doesn't have a GPU with the power to do anything with it. So far they've been talking about everything except the GPU. Well, the GPU is what needed fixing!

I really don't care about the CPU, it's not the big problem. And if it's just an overclock that's a pretty weak, band-aid kind of solution anyway, What it NEEDS is a GPU that isn't runny doo doo with bits of corn in it.

Meh, I'm a hetero. Gaming on PC would demand I start wearing pink, tying bows in my shirts ... too much work and I'm too old.

Still 8 GB of DDR3. What happened to 8 GB of DDR3 + 4 GB of "New type of RAM".

:lol:

Meh, that was something just some of us, including me, was hoping for. There was really never any solid info about it, just blind hope for some kind of good news. Personally I thought 12 gigs might be overkill and upgrading to 10 would be a very nice upgrade in and of itself.

More powerful than the PS4 confirmed.gago-gago

Lol, where?!!! Heck, if they could just get it up to 1.6 tflops I'd be satisfied. That'd still be behind PS4 but close enough for me. But 1.2-1.3 tflops just doesn't cut it.

If it's still 12 CUs and 1.3 tflops then it's still crap.

Do we get more than 12 CUs? Do we get more than 1.3 tflops? If not then on a hardware level it still sucks.

Umm, OK. Nothing so far about the GPU not sucking balls as it currently does.
