If this is true MS has no excuses. Wow, I don't think you can even buy single pc cards with that much vram.

Tomorrow you can get teh Geforce Titan that has 6gb of Vram DDDR5. But that is still 2gb shy of what the PS4 will have. What is unknown is how much of that 8gb is usable by games and how much is reserved for OS and other stuff. Watching the presser, it sounds like a lot of RAM will be needed for the "other services".

 

[OverHeat]

I swear this will cause a six month delay for Durango.

Hell yeah

 

[Blue Ninja]

No it doesn't.

You're right. I'm not an expert and got caught up in the moment, I need to read better. I apologize.

Just makes it even more impressive. This thing is going to cost a lot of money.

 

[IronicallyTwisted]

It can't be GDDR5, its just too expensive. It looks like they've copied the Microsoft model of quantity over quality.

 

[ffdgh]

I am afraid of the price announcement. This shit can't be cheap.

Same....I'm curious to see how sony prices this thing.

 

[Clockwork]

It can't be GDDR5, its just too expensive. It looks like they've copied the Microsoft model of quantity over quality.

They already said it was.

 

[DBT85]

It can't be GDDR5, its just too expensive. It looks like they've copied the Microsoft model of quantity over quality.

They said quite clearly that it was GDDR5

 

[Bittercup]

But he said GDDR5. But they haven't said a price for PS4 either ^^

 

[TAS]

MS must be crapping thier pants right now. :O

 

[Withnail]

It can't be GDDR5, its just too expensive. It looks like they've copied the Microsoft model of quantity over quality.

It was announced on stage as 8GB GDDR5. Unless you think he was lying? :lol

 

[Dipswitch]

I've just eaten 4, count them, 4 delectable slices of crow pie. One for every extra GB of GDDR5 memory I swore the PS4 wouldn't have. This prediction stuff is obviously for people who know what the hell they're talking about.

You may now resume your previously scheduled hooting and hollering.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Not too much more expensive.

It's only expensive in video cards because you have a ton of processing power in them

You can get a gig gddr5 video card for 50 bucks. it won't be good but you have the memory.

Plus bulk costs.

 

[IronicallyTwisted]

They said quite clearly that it was GDDR5

Oh, I just heard unified memory. Well, thats pretty fucking insane since the Microsoft console is just going to get its clock cleaned if they don't up the specs.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

8GB of GDDR5!! Agnis Philosophy will look 10x better then the tech demo :O I am floored, the hype has gotten me even though PS3 BC is digital. Definitely year 1 for me

 

[onQ123]

where is that Bird he said he was going to eat his feathers if the PS4 has even 1 MB more than 4GB of ram.

 

[Magic Pancake]

So do we have any idea how much 8 gigs of GDDR5 would cost? $100? $200? More even? Not quite the thread for it, but do we have a rough idea of what the other parts would cost?

 

[Rourkey]

Seems to me that Sony are betting the company on the price of GDDR5 falling, it could do with their intervention

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

This is sooo staggeringly nuts.

 

[AgentP]

They announced the bandwidth, how they get it is not important.

 

[Log4Girlz]

No idea, expensive as fuck I'd imagine.

[Router]

I'll admit it.

I WAS WRONG. I WAS WAY OFF.

And I'm fucking happy I was. Surely Microsoft needs to match this now.

 

[JCizzle]

Sony going fucking hard, and not in a weird way like the Cell. This sounds like it will pay tons of dividends over time.

 

[artist]

Megaton of the night so far.

I'll admit it.

I WAS WRONG. I WAS WAY OFF.

And I'm fucking happy I was. Surely Microsoft needs to match this now.

They cant match 8GB of GDDR5 ..

 

[Reiko]

The insiders on GAF lied to me.

8GB it is.

 

[Timedog]

It's official. PS4 is my next console. Goodbye, Microsoft, my first love

 

[Rourkey]

I'll admit it.

I WAS WRONG. I WAS WAY OFF.

And I'm fucking happy I was. Surely Microsoft needs to match this now.

They have their own solution, they won't change now my guess is they will try to compete on cost

 

[JaseC]

Megaton of the night so far.

They cant match 8GB of GDDR5 ..

He may mean in terms of palpable quantity. Assuming the rumours to be true, 8GB of GDDR5 gives developers 7.5GB of usable memory whereas the 8GB of DDR3 in the Nextbox will offer ~5GB.

 

[Uno Venova]

How much is this gonna cost

 

[MARNEY]

Hot damn! 8 gb! Sweet, way better than expected.

 

[Rourkey]

Maybe Sony added the extra ram late when they realised the couldn't get their os into 0.5gig so had to add more?

 

[KZObsessed]

I can barely believe this. Amazing.

 

[Reiko]

They have their own solution, they won't change now my guess is they will try to compete on cost

What I've learned on GAF is that MS won't change Durango specs...

And that 4GB was the max on PS4.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

They've spared no expense.

Take my monies.

 

[Anth0ny]

Fucking crazy.

 

[OverHeat]

Sony my new console for 3rd party. ( unless MS is better)

 

[gaming_noob]

hahaha I'm never going to trust neogaf sources again.

However, this is the best news I've heard in a long long time. I'm loving PS4 so far.

 

[dragonelite]

Dam take my $499 sony....

 

[Lynn616]

Megaton of the night so far.

They cant match 8GB of GDDR5 ..

Why cant they match it?

 

[fabricated backlash]

Same....I'm curious to see how sony prices this thing.

True that.

8GB GDDR5 Ram, a stereo Camera, a new controller, this shit can't be cheap to produce,

How will Sony price this... take a massive hit and sell it for under 600 bucks or go full mental and sell it to break even...

I am afraid.

 

[Eideka]

What I've learned on GAF is that MS won't change Durango specs...

And that 4GB was the max on PS4.

For the sake of competition I hope MS have something positive to announce regarding the specs.

They need to do something now. Kinect is not going to cut it.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

Now I'm scared about price again.

 

[JaseC]

Maybe Sony added the extra ram late when they realised the couldn't get their os into 0.5gig so had to add more?

Possibly, but even so, if 512MB was the goal, I don't see it being overshot by any more than a further 512MB. That still, theoretically, gives the PS4 a significant RAM advantage.

 

[Angelus Errare]

lol.

 

[Reiko]

I think the Durango is alot more powerful than what we know. Current rumors have been underselling it... Just like PS4 ram amounts.

 

[artist]

Why cant they match it?

Oh, I completely forgot about Data move engines ..

 

[RdN]

Microsoft needs to find a way to match this. Otherwise, the gap will be way to big.

 

[Rourkey]

What I've learned on GAF is that MS won't change Durango specs...

It's one think to add more memory, it's another to change the type of memory altogether assuming the rumours of GDDR3 are true!

 

[Tom Penny]

I don't know how they are going to price this reasonably.

 

[dazed808]

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Waaay beyond expectaions..

FFO you best be there for the resurrection of the GAFe KZ Shadow Fall crew
