i did not expected that my first post on wololo will be like this, but okay
Hy CPUzX,
dont get me wrong, but your words are wrong. the PCs are not lightyears infront of the PS4 or XBoxOne.
i will explain you this in some detailed examples why, and what the advantages of a PS4 and PC are.
Hardware of a current mid/highrange pc:
CPU: i7 / amd with 4 cores and hyperthreading (4 real cores, 4 virtual)
RAM: 8-16GB DDR3 RAM
GC: 2GB - 4 GB GDDR5
HDD: SSD 256GB +
Hardware of a PS4:
CPU: dual 4 core cpu (8 real cores)
RAM: 8GB GDDR5 (if you calculate this as GDDR3 its 24GB as the bandwith of GDDR3 is ~25,6GB/s and GDDR5 is 75GB/s)
GC: he ps4 uses a modified version of the HD 7870 so 2GB GDDR5 i guess (the normal on is comparable to a GTX670, but its unknown what they modified)
HDD: HDD or SSD does not make a big difference
So as you can see, the PS4 compared to a current mid/highrange PC has 2 big advantages and one disadvantage.
the cpu contains 8 real cores, real cores are always faster and more efficient then 50% virtual cores.
also the RAM (and this is only a light calculation) can be compared with 24GB RAM of a normal PC. probably they modified also the ram and increased it speed.
The Graphiccard seems to suck hard, and nobody gets why.
But many developers who are trusted and well known, said that the PS4 and XBox One are not even close to have reached their limit. he expects a huge increase of quality and performance in the next years.
i can agree with this. the ps3 was starting very slow in quality too. the games became better and better over the years, because the developers learned how to code games efficient for them. look on the last of us, it was amazing on the PS3. and i remember 2010 when **** PC Fanboys said, the best Graphic which is possible on a ps3 is gta4. The PC has the advantage that developers are coding for it since 20+ years. they grown up with it. a console is always something new. its like working in a new language.
so whats better now? PC? PS4?
The Answer is, none of both. Because its not important which one is better, the only important thing is the following:
What do you want todo with this Hardware?
You want to play games, but also work with it, watch movies, youtube, twitter, facebook, bla? Take a PC.
You want to play games, and be sure that every game you buy will run flawless? Take a PS4.
You want to enjoy the games in the highest possible resolution, detailgrade and probably use mods to increase the quality? Take a PC for now.
Fanboys will always find a reason to tell you why a PC or PS4 is better. but the truth is, PS4 and PC are amazing.
Kind regards
Tepoo
