Probably this was true ten years ago, where cross-platform was not that strong. Today, people chose consoles over gaming pcs for something easy to set up or money.Consoles are still awesome. They're cheaper and won't be replaced for another 10 to 15 years.
Just remember it's not all about the specifications, power and capability, but the library of games it carries.
The Titan is a single GPU, it's not two 680s. That's the 690.
No ridiculous DRM yetOne thing I like about console is no ridiculous DRM that you otherwise will find on PC game.
It's a single GPU with double the 680's cores but clocked lower?The Titan is a single GPU, it's not two 680s. That's the 690.
It's been like that for several years, pay more attention. Also we have added GoNintendo, IGN and Kotaku! You don't need to load any other gaming site ever!GBAtemp has become a mirror of neogaf.
Both have one GPU core. If you mean CUDA cores, the 680 has 1536 and the Titan has 2688, which is not double. 680's GPU core clock is 1006 mhz, and the Titan's is 837 mhz.It's a single GPU with double the 680's cores but clocked lower?
Well that makes it even worse on the price-performance graph then.Both have one GPU core. If you mean CUDA cores, the 680 has 1536 and the Titan has 2688, which is not double. 680's GPU core clock is 1006 mhz, and the Titan's is 837 mhz.
Yeah, the higher up you get, the more diminishing returns you get. At this current time, the 7950 looks to be the best card, price/performance, on the high end anyway. It can easily be OC'd to perform like a 7970/680.Well that makes it even worse on the price-performance graph then.
For people thinking that the new consoles are even close to competing with what is possible with building your own PC.
I present the Titan graphics card, and no this will not be coming to a console this gen....

6GB's of 384bit GDDR5 Ram just for the GPU it also features 2688 CUDA Cores and a host of other goodies.
Expensive yes, matched by home consoles? No.
I know, isn't it glorious?!I know about this one , just imagine having two of this monster,that's a 12GB GDDR5 that's true over the shit even top game don't need more than 2GB of GPU.
shhh, they are watching! don't give them ideasNo ridiculous DRM yet
rumor has it that the 720 will need a permanent online connectionshhh, they are watching! don't give them ideas
It is capable of three card SLI and SLI is four cores max. This may be the GTX 685; the 780 will likely be more advanced.The titan is two GTX 680 cores, but clocked a bit lower. The GTX 680 runs from $430 to $580 on Newegg right now, so assuming the titan retails at $1,000 average, it's less dollar->performance than other cards.
Which is to be expected in general. Once you hit the high end, the price-performance line becomes a wall.
It's pretty hard to compete with power of PCs when you have people wiling to pay $3000 in high end PCs but you only have one PS4 that will cost about $400~$500. Taking into account the relation between power and cost the PS4 is a clear winner. But with the prices of consoles this high, I still think it's worth getting an upgrade in your PC instead of investing in a next-gen console (if you're a graphics person at least)
There isn't even a set in stone price point for the PS4. Don't expect it to be cheap by any means either, we all know what Sony is like when it comes to pricing their systems at release. For what the cost of a PS4 or Xbox is going to cost next generation, including all the hardware required to fully utilize the system like Kinect and Move, you are just going to push the cost of the system higher and higher. The cost of buying a PC might be a bit more expensive but in the long term if you invest a lot initially, you don't have to invest anything for quite some time. If you spent 1500 dollars on a system now, you don't have to do any upgrading for at least 2 years, people seem to have this fool notion that you need to upgrade processors and graphics cards every single year when they usually don't get pushed until a couple of years after they hit the market.
EDIT: And yeah, if I spend like $2000 on a PC I won't have to upgrade it for a while but I'm spending 2000 fucking dollars on a PC. For $2000 I could buy a Playstation and like at least 20 brand spankin' new games and still have money to spare.
