"Compared to gaming PCs, the PS4 specs are in the neighborhood of a low-end CPU, and a low- to mid-range GPU side,"

Tamasi also notes that consoles, by definition, are closed platforms and not upgradeable.
"What you get today in terms of performance is what you're stuck with five - 10 years down the road. PCs don't have these problems," he told TechRadar.
"They are open and can be upgraded at any time to harness the power of newer GPUs for more performance and to take advantage of newer, modern graphics technologies."

Withnail · Mar 15, 2013

So salty.

Edit: damn

Elginer · Mar 15, 2013

Salty as fuuuuuck

SolsticeZero · Mar 15, 2013

Nvidia might need ton get to a doctor. This much salt is unhealthy.

It wouldn't be a problem if console games didn't hold PCs back .

So NVIDIA, 8 GB GDDR5 in your mid-end cards this year?

Corto · Mar 15, 2013

Nothing particularly polemic or new. No need for Nvidia to tell us that.

Canis lupus · Mar 15, 2013

and a low- to mid-range GPU side

Equivalent of a HD7870 is low to midrange GPU?

Nvidias midrange is $500 gtx680, and low is 350 660Ti. :lol:

RibbedHero · Mar 15, 2013

Sounds accurate to me.

Derrick01 · Mar 15, 2013

But the 8GB GDDR5 will make up for all of that. Console gamers told me so.

phosphor112 · Mar 15, 2013

1) It's 100% true.

2) It doesn't make them any less salty.

3) They clearly find this a threat with all this damage control.

Backfoggen · Mar 15, 2013

Is Nvidia scared of something?

gryz · Mar 15, 2013

someone is mad that they don't have any chips in the PS4. I'm sure the NVIDIA SHIELD will be much more successful than ps4.

ambientmystic · Mar 15, 2013

Oh wow lol this is the 2nd time this week.

Just yesterday or the day before they were salty as fuck about not getting the console contracts and being underbid by AMD lol.

Doesn't make 'em any less correct though.

Tyrax · Mar 15, 2013

NVidia preaching the openness of the PC? Considering how much they hate Microsoft and hate providing good desktop Linux drivers, these are wonderfully hollow statements

LabouredSubterfuge · Mar 15, 2013

He might even be salty, but he's most certainly not wrong.

The Abominable Snowman · Mar 15, 2013

You can tell nVidia and 3DFX are the same company. 3DFX trolled the Dreamcast hard after the decision to go PowerVR.

...Or is PS4 the new Dreamcast?

PairOfFilthySocks · Mar 15, 2013

Dat salt.

He's right.

Salsa · Mar 15, 2013

I can already tell this thread's gonna be golden

Data West · Mar 15, 2013

Nvidia's not making cards for new xbox or new ps right? Unsurprising that they would promote their platform.

TurkishEmperor said:

I've seen people here say that the 7950 was midrange so I guess it depends on who you ask.

My sentiments exactly.

TurkishEmperor said:

Yup, I'd say in a year it'll be low range even.

No this is.

He's still stating a fact.

SolarPowered · Mar 15, 2013

Goddamn they manage to sound salty and bitchy as hell even though it's more or less true.

Salsa · Mar 15, 2013

well sure they find it a threat, who wouldnt

stating facts when trying to fight back something is a pretty good argument, though.

ZoddGutts · Mar 15, 2013

Damn son, get some tissues for those tears.

Glass Rebel · Mar 15, 2013

The truth is in the salt.

But in all seriousness, he isn't exactly wrong, it just won't matter to most people. It's also kinda a repackaged news from the other day.

Bending_Unit_22 · Mar 15, 2013

Eh, one of the cases where both sides are right. Yes Nvidia is salty, but that doesn't make what they said any less true.

I think if consoles didn't exist, there would be fewer games overall. PCs benefit from ports of games that are originally console games.

The Faceless Master · Mar 15, 2013

frito lay: pringles are mid range chips.

famousmortimer · Mar 15, 2013

Thanks for stating the obvious, Nvidia. We don't know how PCs and consoles work.

jerd · Mar 15, 2013

Didn't we already know this though? I feel like gaf has been saying this for months...

TurkishEmperor said:

I just got a 7870 for my PC and I'm by no means an enthusiast. It is a very affordable card I think. Definitely low-mid in the pc realm.

jay · Mar 15, 2013

I'm conflicted. I like making fun of tech obsessed true gamers but I also like making fun of hardware companies making fun of technology for not being for tech obsessed true gamers.
