bro, my entire point was that we should not compare tflops / architectures. my post was targeted at people who keeps using bloated Ampere numbers as a way to downplay consoles. can you please read the posts before me? there was a person that is saying there are 20+ tflops GPUs in the market and 4 tflops is funny compared to them. so... you're missing my point
"Who would have thought it would look this good on a 4 TF, yes 4 TF machine … while PCs are going to 24 TF soon .."
as i've said, its about the optmization. kepler was a beast. in games too. it all went downfall once the maxwell is released. i vividly remember this topic and the outrage that followed it.
The Witcher 3 - Kepler GPU gtx 960=gtx 780 gtx 970>gtx 780ti what's going on here ? how is this possible ? nvidia is deliberately downgrading kepler gpu's performance in favor of maxwell using driver or poor optimization game under 700 card by cdprojektred ? I read the forums, and I'm in shock...

this was the last game that kepler got "special" driver codepath optimizations. after that, it was mostly a wreck.
i'm not saying ps4 runs the rdr 2 at high settings, but it looks gorgeous. gtx 780 clip however looks atrocious.
ps4 settings are a mixed bag. yes, there are stuff that are lower than low, but then again, there are lots of stuff that are at medium/high/ultra. like shadows, ssao, tesselation, particles, volumetric resolution, geometry lod (ultra), textures (ultra). game simply looks beautiful on a ps4. i just tried to show it as an example to prove that TFLOPS are not be-all end-all.
in the end, 4 tflops of rdna 2 on an optimized space might output the performance of a 8-10 tflops ampere gpu. who knows? why downplay 4 tflops? its clear that 1.8 tflops of old GCN can provide exceptional performance in games like rdr 2, horizon zero dawn, god of war and many more. even doom eternal runs at 1080p 60 fps on that thing. 4 tflops of an advanced, newer architecture should give enough juice to series s for its lifetime and its target resolution. at least I hope so.
