Wait, rdna is considered navi? Like old navi out today?
But rdna2 is just navi with RT and vrs...like what PS5 Xsx is going to have.

So the whole argument about 12tflops rdna2 > 12tflops navi is pointless?
Was it DF that pushed such narrative? And then Xsx stealthy hype ran with that. :lollipop_anguish:
RDNA is NAVI! The argument was 9TFLOPS RDNA is around 12TFLOPS GCN. Which is accurate.

Assuming Heisenberg is the most reliable insider;

I have heard from this one little voice in my head ;) that PS5 is about 9.5 and XsX is actually about 10 both measured in RDNA TFs.

Take with as much salt as needed because this dude is the only one saying this.


Then he put a heart on this post from Osiris about the specs from Tommy:
The system information lines up with everything that everyone in the gaming media and developers have said. I cannot say anything new about consoles or games until the reveal.


This is getting to complicated for me ^^
 
Xbox x basically copied and blueprinted their console off the inner workings of the ps4 pro they are very similar hmmmm tht wasnt a magical feat coming over a year later, higher price and ohhhhh using someone else's foundation

Sony overall most of these gens have been the better hardware producer, ps4 was more powerful than Xbox one and better, pro was made before x and oh ps3 was better then those massive massive rrod situations. Not to mention Sony also created the first true home console VR tht was very competent. I'll believe in Sony engineers creating the better hardware.
Nothing wrong in copying. Sony has excellent engineers and their board design has always been good. Microsoft cooling solution is vastly different from Sony when it comes to PS4/Pro and Xbox/X. That is the reason why XboxO is quieter. Better is relative these days, both have their advantages and disadvantages.
 
Can somebody explain to me, as I'm having a a bit of a brain fart here, but if the ps5 is better in every way, how the SX can be higher in flops?

Granted flops isn't the full picture and I understand that, but how can this be possible...?

As for the SSD post above about sea of thieves, the way the game is created is totally different in terms of how assets are loaded into memory. It's a more traditional binary space type affair, which are historically more slow to load anyway. Spiderman is essentially the sort of game that will load everything as base low level lod first then get you ingame. Using trickery, it then calls in higher quality assets to populate the world. The whole thing is seamless, and you don't really notice when that fence 400 feet away pops into a different model a few seconds after loading. That's why a game like Spiderman will load so damn fast and well on an SSD. It's essentially the perfect type of game to show it off. If you can get a next generation COD game loading it's levels in that some of speed, I will be very impressed, as it's not made for this type of memory management. (HOWEVER, now that both consoles have SSD, all games will take advantage of it, so expect a lot of big changes here. But both consoles will be amazing with this).

Anwyay point is, for a game built like Sea Of Thieves, to get it loading that fast is fantastic. Remember - Even SNES and N64 games had loading times in places. Sometimes a black screen, sometimes an actual loading screen ;)

You on about dealer gaming guy from twitter? If you are he makes stuff up for clicks fyi
You are trying to discredit Dealer, but the thing is he indeed know people working at MS (if fact he host engineers who build XSX!). If he says guys at MS told him XSX loads sea of thieves at around 3-5s I believe him.

Matt said PS5 was ahead but he was guessing nextbox might end up a little stronger and said githib was not current ps5 soecs so thts basically 0 bcus Heisenberg said it can go either way. The ppl tht have said ps5 was stronger Osiris, shreir, Reiner, etc said tht without any ifs but hey I believe it can go either way. As long as thy are close thtll be great for both camps.
You have some things right and some others wrong.
Matt said he guessed nextbox would end stronger, but he never said PS5 was ahead. You are right in him dismissing the github leak.
Klee said PS5 was ahead but he wouldn't disagree with what Matt said. So we can conclude they are close. Also said the github leak didn't match his specs.
Reiner said PS5 was stronger, or so he heard from devs at E3'19.
Schreier said they were both very powerful and it would be very difficult to know which one is actually stronger. He also said both were stronger than RTX2080.

So yes, it appears they are both very powerful and close in performance to each other.

I wouldn't try to make sense of what Osiris, Heisenberg, and Tommy Fisher say because they seem pretty unreliable. That's my humble opinion.

Dealer is a proven fraud when it comes to information hes been incorrect more times than he has had hot dinners.
 
Maybe Xsx clocks their gpu higher to gain the tflops marketing advantage, and also the cpu as alluded by insiders heisenberg.

Seems like Sony runs a tighter design ship. In terms of internal specs to get that optimal gaming output developers need. Very thoughtful.

While MS takes the best out there today, and plosh it up with more cooling and exterior designs, with thoughtful hype videos.

Respect to all insiders we thank you really for your effort but either you say what you have in a solid state or just wait with us the official reveal , too many insiders but no one is confirming what he has ! .. I believe the two console from Sony & MS have no big differences and they will be almost the same the real deal is GAMES and how the Devs take advantage of the powerful consoles ,,

Why would they knowingly divulge information to him when they know that he can't keep a secret to save his life?

Pretty much. With Pro and X both companies just had different aims with their timing and profitablity.

Wouldn't be surprised if PS5 at similar power comes in smaller than XSX. The huge box with a large quiet fan doesn't particularly strike me as innovative or cost efficient. It's a safe design though, like the launch X1 was.

Soooo, we are below double digits again... This is a roller coaster. Let Sony release PS5 in Q1 2021 and reach 14tf RDNA2? This so we have a long lasting console performance wise
 
Yes we went from ps5 with software RT and 25% weaker tflops VS big box Xbsx, and now ps5 becomes the smarter gaming console?

suspicious all of it!
 
And what does a bigger box equal???...
Not power. Your box is going to be as big as the cooling solution you use allows. Hence PS4 more powerful yet smaller than Xbox One and Xbox One X is more powerful yet smaller than PS4 Pro. This is not that hard to understand. You can put a 2080Ti and a beefy CPU in a mini PC case as long as you have a competent cooling solution.
 
Really hard to figure that one out. Cerny said back in April SSD implementation from Sony is faster then fastest available on the market at that time (~3.5GB/s). A week before your post, Windows Central posted Anaconda specs and this about SSD :



So, its really complex math to figure this one out.

Btw, in your post from dec 18 you said VRS implementation is the same, but that part was specifically used as MS to point they are using their own "patented VRS".

Its a shame what has happened to this forum
Isn't the "patented VRS" bulletpoint just their implementation of VRS at the API level of DirectX, which of course they would have patended? I would expect Sony to have their own implemetnation of how their API communicates with the hardware.

We really didn't. Folks were living in make believe land where PS5 wasn't already announced to have hardware accelerated RT.
 
Mark cerny himself has stated PS5 has hardware RT

There was suspicion whether it was hardware RT like rtx or forced hardware RT like something else using the navi cu.

Do you trust pr talks? Like what did he really mean? Or is their cutesy diagram clear enough?
Because there was a github leak that shows ps5 sdk did not have rdna2 RT

I dont care if he is biased or not. Dealer hosts very important people from MS, people who build XSX and that's the most important fact for me.



At 5m46s mark he talks about sea of thieves load times on XSX and compared them to his 970 evo pro 3.5GB/s SDD.

Tommy, can you clear up the confusion regarding VRS tiers?

Is Sony going to have an inferior hardware implementation?

That post from negociator was the question Tommy was replying to. If you don't remember the conversation that was going on back then, (i think you do) i can remind you: Ms had confirmed having the 2nd tier VRS implementation, and people start speculation about Sonys because of the patented remark. So Tommy was basically confirming that Sonys VRS will be the 2nd tier and up to date implementation _ which has nothing to do with whatever patented customizations both may have (like in... they have to work with different proprietary APIs no!?).

About your last remark, what happened this forum that is such a shame!? Aren't you allowed to come in here and argue with Tommy, and discuss/dispute his claims, like you are doing? Or is it simply the fact that he is allowed to share them, that got you so aggravated? _ Well you got mod of war explanation, i quoted below for you you're welcome
We will never detail the vetting process. Ever. That is all done privately between only 2 parties. Not even all the mods know each individual's vetting process for each person. Only directly between two people (the mod and the person). This is to protect the sources, and not burn anyone ever.

HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 has a very solid source, but like I said, that does not mean it can't change with tweaks and revisions to kit. Even the source admits this. Very solid source.

@Tommy Fisher I asked to scale it back a bit. I personally am letting him be. I didn't do his vetting process, so I do not know the details, I was just told by another that "his information cannot be fully verified, but there may be something there" in so many words. He will either hang himself, or get paraded in the streets. Same goes for @OsirisBlack.

@SCFC_ just responded and supposedly wants to go through it. Please stand by...

Things are coming, and it is very exciting. There is no "doom and gloom" from either camp. Both are going to be GREAT. So ignore the clickbait "warfare" articles from select sites, if you know what I mean.
Thank you very much for the time you took to make this post, trying to bring some peace to this thirsty souls, we don't deserve it 🍻

Wow, MS must be really incompetent then if they copied the ps4 pro, made it 40% more powerful, put it in a smaller box and still couldn't get it to sound like a jet engine. They'll need to try harder for the series x. Maybe they made it that shape so they could actually put a little jet engine in there so they don't fail this time.

A bigger box allows a more efficient cooling solution, the more efficient the cooling system the higher the clocks.

Do you really think MS are going to move away form the One X tech, with the specialty cooling system, to just an empty case and a fan perched on top? Phil Spencer has said that the design of the case was down to a mandate of performance over aesthetics? I predict the X will be the most powerful, the PS5 will be in the "good enough" range.
 
Recently I saw, that the termal paste in the PS4 and PS4 Pro is shit and that's the reason for the Jet Turbine Sound.

Maybe Sony will invest 5 penny's more upcoming Generation...

Reminds me of the little foam pads 360 never added that would have stopped disk scratching when moving the unit. Daft.
 
So they are using an unbalanced config... interesting.... if the workload is scheduled to the SA with more WGP it will run with better performance than the SA with less WGP.

I wanted to see some tests because that card probably runs only a bit better than a 32CUs card.

there is still the possibility they can disable half a dual CU / WGP. we just don't know atm. coming from past archs where amd always had to disable in a symmetrical manner it seems more likely to me. but then again nvidia is disabling on a per SM basis since forever... but you might have to have tile-based rendering for that.

Thy were incompetent enough to have the biggest console fail in history via rrod then come with another console less powerful with a big ass power brick but you know thts just history 😉😁🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ but it's gd thy watched what their competitors were doing and adjusted, thy all learn from eachother.

Jet engine idea sounds gd if it'll help the console 👍😉

i see you are still peddling this theory of bigger = better after Lacix proved you wrong just last night.
just like with the reveal PS4 and XBOX ONE. You can see based on size which one is more powerful.

I guess its a shame this forum turned into breeding ground for "insiders" and vetting process is obviously failling for whatever the reason. I dont think entire internet gets as much new insiders daily as this place gets, but as long as people click I guess its ok.

What do I have to say more about Tommy? That there is no 32kb cache in Navi as he said? That Remedy is publicly traded and cannot "secretly" be part of Sony in any way, shape or a form? Seems like such an easy way to tell he is bsing, but I guess the best we can ask for him is to tone it down a bit since he cant get verified...
 
I dont care if he is biased or not. Dealer hosts very important people from MS, people who build XSX and that's the most important fact for me.

Why If even corporate big wigs from Microsoft have been called out on their lies and pr bullshit so many times. So now we Gona believe every authority corporate figure? We are gamers who've been around to know to never take shit for face value if not you'd still be believing in milo, that staged kinect demo where the Asian guy was way off, you'd believe kinect couldn't be removed from Xbox one bcus of os, etc.. All shit pushed by the corporate bigs and so much more.

Anyway let me get back on topic.

Maybe one heard the TFs expressed on GNC and the other on RDNA. Is that possible ?
and most probable scenario is none of them heard something from people having last dev kit for the two....even more when we come back in time

i find it odd that it's not hard for people to doubt timeline of the possible info in the github leak but not how misaligned and out of date third hand messy context info from insider can be.

Bro, breath.
 
So Heisengborgs says:

XSX: 10tflops
PS5: 9tflops

Tommy Hilfiger:

XSX: 12.2tflops
PS5: 13tflops

?

Thats not what I said.

I said most of what I was hearing was in line with the 12 tf number.

But one person that I trust keeps saying he is quite certain that 12 tf number is what MS has calculated to measure against current consoles when in fact that number is single digits of Navi.

If I was a betting person I would bet the 12 but I only bet when I am totally certain.

Bonus thoughts regardless I do not believe the PS5 will hit 13 no matter how its measured.

Afternoon thoughts.

Even though I said I wasnt saying much until reveals I want to make sure what I did say was repeated accurately.

Do you know when the reveal of either console will be? Im not asking for you to say the date, just if you yourself know the date
