You guys do realize were advancing in the size of games and complexity right? Don't know why it shocks some of you. It's like people who complain about the size of a 4K clip.

Tom's benchmarked those new AMD cards

that 280x isn't quite a 7970 Ghz apparently....

AMD’s GCN architecture debuted almost two years ago in the Tahiti GPU. I’ve mentioned this before, but I paid $550 each for two Radeon HD 7970s to do my own CrossFiretesting. And Tahiti lives on today, now at the heart of R9 280X selling for $300. The Pitcairn GPU followed a few months behind in March of 2012. That GPU gets reused today as well in the R9 270X. Bonaire is a much more recent development, emerging in March of this year as Radeon HD 7790 and again today as R7 260X. It’s the only card currently available with AMD’s TrueAudio technology, and it’s the only board in today’s round-up that employs a more sophisticated version of PowerTune able to switch voltage and clock rate very quickly for finer-tuned response to environmental variables.

Unfortunately, when you don’t have higher-performing products to talk about, your only option is to beat up the pricing to attract new buyers. That’s been going on for a while now, and it’s really the reason why R9- and R7-series cards don’t look like great deals compared to the boards they replace. The good news is that AMD’s story doesn’t end today. We still have R9 290 and 290X cards to look forward to, and those are based on new silicon.

50gb of hdd space is easy to understand. it's requiring 6gb of ram, and recommending a gtx 780 that seems kinda crazy, to me at least

edit: they've been taking pre-orders for COD Ghosts for a minute on Steam, but the req's still say : "Minimum System Requirements are still being determined". this will probably be a problem for them if people that pre-ordered find out they can't play the game

I just read that Killzone is 50GBs as well

:damn:
Won't require 50GB install though right?

I still want confirmation from Sony if the PS4 takes thicker hard drives this time around...I would like to throw a 3TB in there once they are released, but it will probably be 15mm tall

That's only if you cop the digital version.
