So with all this we're back where we started with ps4 was first announced but now actually in a better space. THey said with 4gb of gddr5 the PS4 was crushing xbox one and was more powerufl. With the OS, and other features the ram available for gaming would have been reduced significantly. Now with 8 gigs of gddr5 we get a solid 5.5 gigs of memory for gaming.

For Skyrim on pc with every crazy graphic mod running you get maybe a little over 4 gigs of ram used. This will be a non issue. System still blowing xbox one out of the water, and is in a better place then it was when itlaunched and people were saying ps4 was lowing xbox one out of the water.

:win: We cant lose but xbox one, lost already.


WE STILL NEED THAT SONY CONFIRMATION THOUGH.

So we're back at square one.

Nope you need to face reality, the truth is the truth.

Answer this without any your usual bullshyt caveats

Which is faster memory Double Data Rate 3 or Graphical Double Data Rate 5? one answer is the truth based on reality the other is bullshyt based on bullshytters.

768 SPs @ 800MHz vs. 1152 SPs & 800MHz again one answer is the truth you know the rest, but go ahead and do what you usually do bullshyt your way through it with nonsense.

But make no mistake, I'm still mad at Sony for the bait and switch they did with the memory allocation. It's a fukked up situation and as long as the Memory foot print will be optimized and reduced to allocate more for games as time go by, I'll be ok with it.

They have advantages and disadvantages, until Sony shows the games there's no point in discussing the differences. :troll:

This is why you dudes are funny. You don't even understand the stuff your asking. You think gddr5 is "faster" and that's just not the case. In reality ddr3 is "faster" i.e. lower latency.
Gddr5 is higher bandwidth meaning it can move larger packets of info at once. This is good for graphics performace. In order to compensate for lower bandwidth of the ddr3 the Xbox one uses some ESRAM and so called "move engines". The differnce is not very much and each setup has its advantages.

Neither of these numbers have been confirmed and if they are true there is not much of a real world difference. You can tell by looking at the games which look/perform better on the Xbox. Or you can listen to the devs who have said the same thing.

But make no mistake, I'm still mad at Sony for the bait and switch they did with the memory allocation. It's a fukked up situation and as long as the Memory foot print will be optimized and reduced to allocate more for games as time go by, I'll be ok with it.

It's funny you say your disapointed in the bait and switch. And then you turn right around and repeat the next pipe dream. They are reserving more ram for the os, that means they are trying to grow the os, not shrink it. But they will let you believe that one day ps4 is gonna spit out these amazing graphics and you will belive them:snoop:

:ld: that's definitely a 2-way street. When it comes to gaming, you're about as unreasonable as they come, nor have I seen you give the xbox any kind of credit. In reality, minus the camera, we're talking the same system. I don't really understand the point of system bashing but it's whatever :yeshrug:

Let me give a car analogy. The X1 is the Nissan GTR, The PS4 is the Corvette ZR1. Why does the less powerful gtr perform better overall than the zr1? Because its the OVERALL package works together better to make a superior performance car in most instances. The X1 is a elegant system where everything is designed to work together. The PS4 while having "better" specs on paper is not as elegant designed. Hell they dont know how much the ram the os will take! These systems will be closer then you think when all is said and done.

People are really thinking that they put the super expensive Esram on there for nothing. They say it won't make that much a difference but even Sony's main guy said that he had a similar strategy that would have made the overall performance better but been harder to design for. I honestly expected xbox one to look questionable. But the games pretty much look better so far.
