50%? That's close to 30%. And as everyone knows, a 30% difference is negligible. Case closed, nothing to see here.

According to Leadbetter a 40% difference in GPU power is negligeable while a 9% advantage in CPU power is a massive advantage.

 

[neither]

Can't wait for the PS4 exclusives that will take advantage of all that power.

But MS invented DirectX. I don't think this Adrian guy gets it. They literally made a proprietary graphics API for their own OS. They made the Xbox. They made the Xbox 360. And now they've made the Xbone. Two whole consoles centered around gaming, and one box that also happens to play games. And there's no way they'd give a 30% advantage to Sony.

I'm trying to figure out of this is sarcasm....

 

[LiK]

The time is NOW to activate Major Nelson's GAF account.

i don't think he dares post in this forum.

 

[Domino792]

if true (50% and not 30%) well at least Major Nelson wasn't lying

See he's not that bad lol.

 

[DR2K]

But xbox was better than ps2

 

[Dibbz]

So the truth is out? GG Major Nelson lol.

 

[Baby Milo]

but major nelson said.....

interesting development

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Does this even matter? The 360 was less powerful than the PS3 and the multiplatform games for both performed the same and in some cases better on the 360.

360 's gpu was actually around 25% more powerful than the RSX but Sony used Cell to help out. Also didn't hurt that they had Sony Santa Monica, Guerrilla, and Naughty Dog.

 

[beast786]

Let me tell you guys about 400hp porche and 700hp corvette

 

[Paznos]

WOW lol.

 

[eso76]

I could have sworn it was only 30% this morning.

Hope it will be nearing 100% by the time I wake up tomorrow..

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Isn't this old news? I thought it was always known the PS4 is more powerful since Sony announced the specs?

50% would be absolutely insane though.

30% is high already. 50% is just........fuggedaboutit.

 

[BigDug13]

But xbox was better than ps2

And it showed. Multiplats that were released on both were almost always better on Xbox.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I highly doubt Larry would post here now....


Maybe he already does ;-)

 

[Soi-Fong]

Major said otherwise so obviously this former dev is a Sony shill and an alien.

 

[BleachAndPepsi]

Fucking saved. Excellent.

 

[Barzul]

What does 50% speed mean? Post is very vague, is he talking about RAM speed or what?

 

[velociraptor]

So that is where the DirectX meme comes from.

It's final form

 

[ElTorro]

I thought we knew 40% not 50% (admitted, I get confused with big numbers and shiny things, so maybe those numbers are for other things).

The old figure was 50%, the new one is 41%. However, if you factor in the reserved 10% GPU time for snap, its 56%. Whatever number one prefers.

 

[Ricky_R]

Let me tell you guys about 400hp porche and 700hp corvette

Hahah

 

[Metalmurphy]

How many is that now?


Jonathan Blow reporting on their dev friends saying the same.
NFS guy.
The DICE guy.
Avalanche guy.
People Can Fly guy.

Did I miss anyone?

 

[Gaogaogao]

its little wonder why xbox had a clockspeed increase at the last minute.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

And it showed. Multiplats that were released on both were almost always better on Xbox.

It was the better system not just in visuals imo

Looks odds on to be PS4 this time

 

[velociraptor]

GPU advantage although the faster RAM probably doesn't hurt either.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Major, be easy on these devs. Unleash your truth softly, and quick like a monk. Explain how these people saying PS4 is more powerful are wrong. I mean look at Directx, you guys made it, take the mic from these foos!

 

[onQ123]

Oh shit!

 

[RoboPlato]

Does this even matter? The 360 was less powerful than the PS3 and the multiplatform games for both performed the same and in some cases better on the 360.

360 had a better GPU, toolset, and unified memory which all made development considerably easier on the platform. This time PS4 has all of those advantages over XBO but to an even larger degree.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

We've known this already. It's only the fanboys that choose not to accept this. And they will continue to fight the good fight lol, this topic should be interesting.

DICE admitted this? Even after the partnership established between EA and Microsoft?

HAHA!

 

[timlot]

Great now show me the 50% better Games....

Update #2:

Adding to OP...

 

[Gskyace]

"but Sony do you even program?" MS execs

Epic reply, you are even better than Major Nelson!

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Major said otherwise so obviously this former dev is a Sony shill and an alien.

Don't talk about yourself like that, you're fine..

 

[Zephyx]

LOL.., Wait till the dual GPU

Seriously though, where did people get the idea that the XB1 will have another GPU? If that ever happens, wouldn't development of software be more complex as you have to both address and synchronize them? It will be like the PS3's cell all over again.

 

[TheGreyHulk]

Does this even matter? The 360 was less powerful than the PS3 and the multiplatform games for both performed the same and in some cases better on the 360.

The 360's CPU wasn't as powerful as the PS3's, but its GPU was much more capable than the PS3's outdated GPU. The solid number crunching ability of the cell SPEs was able to take some GPU work to help get better visuals but it required more work to do.

For the xbone vs ps4 its much simpler since both have very similar CPU and GPUs. The main difference is the ps4 having a much more GPU cores vs the xbone.

Where'd they go?

So he is already doing damage control, that didn't take long.

"Come on guys, everyone knew that already! Right guys ? ...Right ?..."

So basically nothing new *yawns*

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

He's Elaborated:

Not really. I am surprised it's such a surprise. Even pure comparison of some hardware specs can tell you that much.

 

[Dibbz]

but but Major Nelsons record has always been so good with this sort of stuff.

Has he seen Titanfall?

 

[fluffydelusions]

LOL, he's been gaf'd

Avalanche? What did they say?

 

[Twin Tails]

Man, but i reallyyy like Halo.

 

[Alienous]

Update #2:

Adding to OP...

Did he make them fucking race?

I'll subscribe to this '50% faster' being pulled straight from his arse. What a convenient percentage for such a vague attribute.

 

[Freki]

Great now show me the 50% better Games....

Performance isn't directly related to game quality - SMG is a good example of that.

 

[Dizzy]

Wouldn't be that bad if the console was $100 cheaper instead of $100 more expensive.

 

[jacksepticeye]

LOL, he's been gaf'd

Once you've been GAF'd you can't take it back

Shit's gonna get real

 

[DangerMouse]

So he is already doing damage control, that didn't take long.

"come on guys, everyone knew that already! Right guys ? ... right ?..."

Huh? No he's not, he's saying it's obvious that the PS4 is more powerful even when you just look at the hardware details.

 

[RulkezX]

Just wait until the AMD NDA lifts at the end of the month and MS tell devs about the 2nd GPU !

OT : I guess no smoke without fire, it's not the first time we have heard this, be it devs rumblings from Gamescon or whatever. Time will tell how big the difference is, and if its noticeable or not.
