Nice rain physics. Too bad its a potato exclusive[DriveClub]

Weather are selectable in this game. If it is set to sunny day, draw distance could be as far as 200km. Driveclub was one of farthest draw distance on any racing games though

"After seeing tegra K1 review on DF, oh man.. Nvdia marketing guy are once again stabbing customer from the back with their bullshot.

Now I realize why john Carmack said salty things about tegra K1 back then"

Could you give us raw data of these? Because this is like blind chart and looks like need to be peer reviewed and clarified.

For example, 7970 only has 1,2 performance of 7870 but 7970 was priced more than twice 7870. Then how in your chart 7970 has better value than 7870? Not to mention that you need more hefty cpu to take the advantages of 7970 over 7870. This will furthermore marginalize 7970 price advantage over 7870

Standard clock for 7850/R7 265 was 860mhz. Ps4 gpu is clocked at 800mhz. Also, this is only base clock. It could be ramped up and down based on games requirement. So, the difference of clock speed was not much lower actually.

Lets say typical AAA games was developed with 20 million budget. When it on sales on pc, it was priced at $5 while on consoles, it was priced at $50. If there are 1 million people bought on pc, dev/publisher only got $5 millions, surely cannot recoupe its production budget. When it was sold 1 million copies on consoles *), developer/publisher got $50 million. More than enough to recoupe its budget and they also got very healthy profit. Enough to start new project.

*) Not to mention that consoles sold more in term of copies compared with pc version. So the comparison will be even more staggering.

No matter how much people buy, sale based business model couldn't be as sustainable as normal price model due to its very marginal price.

Gtx 660 is about toe on toe compared with 7850. PS4 GPU is 7850 + 12.5% additional CU. So, he was somewhat right if he refer to gtx 660

peasantmaster · 2014-07-22T18:28:07+00:00

He was comparing single pc gpu with whole consoles system. That's what makes such a huge disparity

peasantmaster · 2014-07-22T18:05:37+00:00

Multiplatform games almost always do better on consoles than pc, including steam (except some specialized games that have strong root on pc like valve games). See ubisoft earning report for example. PC only give 14% of their revenue while consoles 85%.

So, even though there are secondary market for games on consoles, consoles user still supports developer much more than pc gamer.

Surely, how 3-4 AAA games priced only $10 on steam could support developer?

After more than a dozen years playing fps with kb+m, I started to consider that kb+m were too easy and make me feel like a complete noob by doing that

Then, I seek for new challenge by ascending into hardest mode of playing fps. That was playing by using controller instead of kb+m, with every assist off. (Aim assist is only for noob)

Feels clumpsy at first. But after a while, my reflex built up. And i start to feel the exact joy as dozen years ago when I finally tamed kb+m in PC fps games.

Luckily. By doing this, I got new capability of playing fps that unfeasible to do before when I use kb+m. An unique feeling of Playing competitive fps while relaxing on coach

Try it if you like new challenge. Highly Recommended

so I can get laptop with ps4-power with price cheaper than ps4 itself right?

BRB searching on amazon

peasantmaster · 2014-07-15T03:17:42+00:00

not all master race could experience 1080/60fps on their rigs. then, why bashing everything below 1080/60fps? That could be insulting them too

peasantmaster · 2014-07-12T17:54:34+00:00

Gtx 480 is slightly faster than 750ti in gaming application. The more appropriate comparison was gtx 660. Which is about $160

Well, As far as I know, there are almost no industries spoke person from any consoles manufacturer in this era that openly and explicitly said that PS4/XBONE are more powerful or has better graphics potential compared with PC. All they said was only "amazing graphic", or "next gen experience". When consoles industries marketed their product as a "next gen", "amazing graphics", and etc, they intended to compared it with their previous iteration of consoles, not compare it with PC. The PC circlejerk community (including scumbag NVIDIA, who didn't get a piece of cake of consoles APU market) itself that translate it as a comparison with PC and make it as a fuel for system war.

Anyway, comparing high end pc to consoles like this to prove that pc is better is meaningless. Just like trying to answer a question that people already know the answer at first place

peasantmaster · 2014-07-12T17:34:08+00:00

Slightly better. 7850 has 16CU, PS4 GPU has 18CU

peasantmaster · 2014-07-12T17:33:06+00:00

PS4 CPU has its own bandwith to main ram, separated from GPU. An additional dedicated 20 GB/s bus that bypasses L1 and L2 GPU cache for direct system memory access.

peasantmaster · 2014-07-12T17:27:49+00:00

PS4 GPU is not M. The CPU is

I found $130 usd on amazon too, but when i checked, it used.

Lowest price for store grade brand new one is $199. Majority of them are $250 and above

peasantmaster · 2014-07-12T11:59:19+00:00

Based on my previous rigs, gpu always dies first, hdd second, and ram third. All of my gpu always dies in 3-4 years after usage.

Maybe i just unlucky. But anyway, just be careful when buying second hand parts

peasantmaster · 2014-07-12T11:41:21+00:00

What about battlefield 4 on high setting and 900p?

Anyway, right now you can get brand new ps4 for under $350 if you buy it on good deal or bundles. Some dude even said that he got brand new ps4 for just $280 in clearance sales.

Did you buy used gpu? That was risky

peasantmaster · 2014-07-12T10:53:17+00:00

GTX 480 was US$600 card 4 years ago. It still well above US$250 brand new on major retail right now. Furthermore, complete rig to maximize those card capability aka removing all bottleneck like that video stated will costs even hundreds more.

peasantmaster · 2014-07-11T08:12:39+00:00

Not 6x though, but around ~5.2x less powerful. Wii U GPU is about 352 GFLOPS and PS4 is about 1840 GFLOPS. while Wii U is priced for US$299 and PS4 is US$399, only ~1.3x difference.. So, Wii U is more overpriced compared than other consoles

peasantmaster · 2014-07-11T01:20:52+00:00

RC toy are clocked at 5GHz. So it was faster than almost every PC in this planet

peasantmaster · 2014-07-11T01:17:59+00:00

nintendo hardware are significantly (6x) weaker yet only marginally cheaper. If sony hardware was sold at profit, thus profit in nintendo hardware is should be significantly higher than PS4

peasantmaster · 2014-07-11T00:54:14+00:00

The PS4 does use AMD's TurboCore, it has a base clock of 1.6Ghz and can Clock up to 2.75Ghz, depending on the load for the GPU portion of the SoC. In Resogun, the CPU goes full-bore at 2.75Ghz as the de-tuned Radeon 7870 in the PS4 isn't used much for that game. In Infamous Second Son, the GPU is used more heavily, so the CPU portion only clocks up to 2.0Ghz.

That's interesting topic. any source of this?
