Eh? I was under the impression that MSAA does nothing for chain link fences or grass, as they're usually rendered as a texture (possibly leading to heavy GPU lifting like alpha blending). That's why...

Can we all agree never to trot this old chestnut out again? No one here wants a console to be weak, AFAICS, and internet arguments from other forums don't need to carry over to here.

It would be nice if some of these stages of grief were internalized, instead of being played out in these forums on an infinite loop. Don't people get emotionally exhausted after a while?!

That (heck, most) 10x7 benchmark is clearly CPU-limited, judging from the tiny avg fps spread b/w the slowest and fastest GPUs. Let's avoid SLI/XF issues and look at single GPUs at a more reasonable...

I guess any "'extra' ALU" can't hurt. It's just ... curious that it doesn't show up in the FLOPS figures.

But I think we should take ERP's word on this and stop flogging this invisible horse.

I don't understand the modifications to a CU that would make it worse for rendering. Do they alter the TMUs? PS4 has 32 ROPs, so that's not it. It has 8 ACEs, which is already supposed to help...

I don't get how 50% higher specs translates to 100% higher framerate? Assuming both consoles are clocked the same, the basic argument should be more 40 vs 60fps (or 30 vs 45) at the same res, or...

Right, but that's not set in stone/hardware. It's probably the easiest thing to change after launch. Sorry if I didn't make it clear, but I expect them to dial it (way) down. I'm not excusing it...

Are you saying that Durango will have 12 geometry engines when PS4 and even a 7970 have two and Titan/680 "has" four?! You're peddling SIMDs on PEDs to shade invisible triangles....
