PS4K specs are out, pretty much confirmed too.
This thing is almost reaching GTX Titan with TLOPS/texture fill rate. So roughly ~10% weaker than GTX 970.
Granted, this does NOT mean native 4K games, but will most definetly will offer much better VR experience than regular PS4 and can play games upscaled form up to 4K.
What does /v/ think about this?
>>334836906
>pretty much confirmed too.
by what actual non forum based document? surely you have some major hardware provider reports to back ti up right?
>>334836906
>So roughly ~10% weaker than GTX 970.
Xa-xa.
>>334836906
>What does /v/ think about this?
I think it's a great move by Sony. VR gaming is the future, and the future is now.
>>334836906
not bad, but are there any games?
>>334836906
>almost reaching GTX Titan
yeah no
>can play games upscaled form up to 4K
any 4K TV will already do this for you
>>334836906
>10% weaker than a GTX 970
>970 GTX base clock: ~1350MHz
>PS4K base clock: ~911Mhz
67% of a GTX 970
>>334837406
Absolutely none.
>>334837618
If these specs are correct, which they appear to be (due to various sources all having the same data) then it is quite close.
Titan itself is already like 2 years old?
>2016
>Jaguar
It's still going to run like trash
>>334837848
>970 is 4 Tflops
>PS4k is 4.19 Tflops
sugoy
>>334837907
>various sources all having the same data
well considering they are all reporting on the same leak I'm not surprised
If this is true and they're reaching nearly 970 levels of performance (FLOPs aren't the best indicator of real world performance but whatever) on an APU, that would indicate that the next generation of discrete GPU's is going to blow the current one out of the water.
>>334837848
Theres more that goes into GPU capability than clock speed, having supposedly double the numbers of stream processors and control units would be more significant in this case.
>>334836906
>This thing is almost reaching GTX Titan
>>334838153
Read two words further and do look at the numbers.
>>334838270
>Read two words further and do look at the rumors
I'm going to sit this one out, I've had enough broken promises from consoles
>>334838045
True - but sites like Engadget do not report rumours unless they're absolutely solid. At least so far.
We'll see during E3. I wouldn't be surprised if this console would cost more than regular PS4 does at the moment though.
What's the point of this when most people don't have 4K TVs?
>>334838526
>I wouldn't be surprised if this console would cost more than regular PS4
Why would it not?
It's literally a betterblu-ray player.
>>334838686
>What's the point of this when most people don't have 4K TVs?
obviously to sell more 4K televisions, Sony 4K televisions to be more specific
>>334837220
>100$ for 50gb
A great deal.
>>334836906
I love always waiting on Sony consoles because it always feels like they do shit like this
Should probably just wait for whatever Microsoft comes out with next [or hope the NX is great, which it probably won't be].
They are basically attached to this console [and its CPU] for the long haul unless they really are going to start pumping out a console every 3 years -- in which case, why would you bother staying on Sony?
>Believing Sony's lies in 2016
i get motion sickness even looking at vr. plus i dont want to exercise whilst playing games.
>>334839105
>wait for whatever Microsoft comes out with next
W10 is already here
>>334839017
What are your math grades?
>>334838009
It doesn't matter when the CPU is shit
>>334838923
I thought they sold off their TV division because it was hemorrhaging money
>the Nintendo NX and the PS4-K will be the last video game consoles ever made
Feels weird senpai
>>334837406
all the ones on pc plus playstation exclusives
>>334839704
Nintendo will stay in the handheld business untill they bleed their bank dry. Though this is a possibility I expect at least 3-4 more generations of Nintendo handhelds
>>334839471
it matters more when the CPU is shit
>>334839607
not yet, but they did spin off Vaio
>>334837907
>Absolutely none.
so just like the ps4 v1.0? f-for the players.
>>334839704
NX could be a handheld. We don't know what it is yet.
>>334836906
I think it's a good move
Looking forward to try U4 and BB at 60fps
>>334839886
I keep hearing about how a slow CPU is a bottleneck for vidya performance. How much of a FPS difference a slightly weak CPU makes when combined with a decent GPU, 5 or 50 fps?
If I were to stick a 980 on a system like pic related would I get a significant boost in vidya performance (like being able to run stuff on high/ultra at a stable framerate)?
http://gpuboss.com/graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-TITAN
>4.5 flops
PS4K
>4.2 flops
Gtx 970
>3,5
PS4.1 is strong.
>>334840786
>If I were to stick a 980 on a system like pic related would I get a significant boost in vidya performance (like being able to run stuff on high/ultra at a stable framerate)?
No.
You'd be horribly bottlenecked and games would run at an unstable 5-70 FPS on ultra.
>>334840790
but... the CPU still make me think that isn't sufficient, the ps4 have a lot of problems with the CPU + GPU, I'm not sure how this is going to handle that.
>>334840786
>If I were to stick a 980 on a system like pic related would I get a significant boost in vidya performance
nope, you'd have just wasted $500
Oh look, still not even close to a modern low end PC and will be blown the fuck out by any PC when it gets released.
Consoles are dead, guys.
>>334841309
different market
consoles are certainly not dead
not with something like 100 million users paying extra for online multiplayer
>>334841309
>a gtx titan is low end
Come now, be sane
>>334836906
>it's almost titan levels
>10% weaker than a 970
Can you make it any more obvious that you don't know what the fuck you're even talking about?
>gamingbabbies trying to comprehend how hardware will perform
hahhh waaaawww
It's an overclocked jaguar PoS netbook architecture, it's going to output 4k video (useful for netflix), that's about it famalam. stop posting.
>>334842113
it kind of is, it was released in 2013. A $300 r9 390 outperforms it nowaways
>>334842209
300$ is nowear near low end, get a grip.
Starting in October, every PS4 game is required to ship with both a “Base Mode” which will run on the currently available PS4 and a “NEO Mode” for use on the new console.
Games running in NEO mode will be able to use the hardware upgrades (and an additional 512 MiB in the memory budget) to offer increased and more stable frame rate and higher visual fidelity, at least when those games run at 1080p on HDTVs.
Additionally, games released in the late September window will require a day one patch that updates them to NEO standards.
Games released previous to the NEO can take advantage of this hardware upgrade, but only if developers decide to patch their titles.
>PS4
>20013-2016
RIP
i'm not gonna buy this shit. just waiting for the NX
>>334836906
What do I think?
I think I called this the minute the rumours were out, people said it was fake and gay, look who's fake and gay now?
>CPU is the bottleneck in the current PS4
>Not changing the CPU in the new version
>>334838686
Sony have always released revised hardware, mainly to optimise production costs. They saw an opportunity to get better performance into the bargain at the same time. And also I suspect the Nintendo NX will be based on the same GPU and Sony couldn't let that shit stand.
>>334842762
This guy knows.
>>334842762
but they overclocked it
right?
they wouldn't UNDERCLOCK the CPU in the first version to make the revision seem more impressive than it really is, would they?would they?
XD LE NO GAEMS
This means PS4 owners HAVE to upgrade, hah they got jewed good!
There saved us 5 threads
>>334843424
No, they wouldn't. The higher clocked CPU is on a new manufacturing process, they can clock it higher, draw less power, and generate less heat.
>>334843702
so this is basically a custom Polaris APU?
>>334843874
All the rumours of the specs seem to fit with this theory
>>334838153
I think hes talking about the original Titan, not the Titan X
Except 14nm GPU's with HBM2 are out in a few months & will blow this out the water
Also the CPU is still a bottleneck
>>334836906
>you can get good VR out of PS4 because of optimization ;)
>Just kidding, give us another $400 please
>>334836906
It'll be nice to play Bloodborne at 40fps instead of 15 finally.
Why don't console designers just follow Nintendo's example with the expansion pack on the N64? Seriously, selling a small add-on for like $50-70 would be far more appealing (ACTUALLY appealing, in this case) than an entire system that just divides the community further.
>>334845214
>uncharted 4 demo bullshots running on a ps4
>jk it was a ps4k
can't wait for the ps4 version to look like ass and sonyggers defending it.
>>334845661
The expansion pack for the N64 just upgraded the RAM, and it's all 8MB that takes over from the onboard RAM. Upgrading memory is simple, and consoles have 8 gigs, plenty to work with, an upgrade won't be necessary.
Upgrading a core component like the CPU or GPU is MUCH harder, esp. with how well integrated to the system they have to be.
Also console expansions never seem to pan out that well, see Sega for example.
>>334846961
Ah, I see. I thought it would be more of a simple solution. Thanks for not giving a snarky response, anon.
>>334840786
with some games it the difference between 20 and 60fps but usually the gpu bottleneck is more common and intel is pretty good at marketing so a lot of people(people who get shitty pre built) get i3 and higher when they would be perfectly fine with a pentium.
cpu bottlenecks
