That'd be a nice bonus of course but would it really be worth the significant increase in bom to microsoft that a 50% increase in memory and a redesign entails?

But there's no getting around the general inconvenience of the interface and display when compared to a tablet. Even first rate voice control won't bring a console on par with the user interface of...

12GB would probably be a waste on the xbox anyway without a significant power increase. I'd say it's pretty likely that the lead platform for most games this generation will be the PS4 which means...

Now that we have tablets and smart phones I'm not sure how relevant web browsing is going to be on consoles. For serious web use people will still want to use a PC (mainly for screen space and...

That's hardly telling. The market is already saturated with PC's while tablets are more or less just starting out. If you were to take away all tablets and PC's currently in the market and then let...

Sounds like its horribly optimised. Recommending a Titan for graphics virtually indistiguishable from the console versions? I'm sure if you dial back the details the game performs just fine on...

Thanks sebbbi and 3dilittante for your comments. I guess its probably going to be a while yet before 3GB really shows its limitations (at least 6 months!) But it sounds like the lesson here is that...

There'll be plenty of forum goers that (rightly or wrongly) see any 3GB GPU as being unable to remain competitive with the 8GB consoles over the long term. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to...

This is where my thinking was going with the GPU vendors. I.e. put a simple bar chart on the back of the box which adds their "3GB" to the "typical" 8GB system memory of your average gaming PC to...

I think he has a point. They obviously don't want to go into the detail of memory management but something to explain why the "3GB" they are so proudly plastering on the box of their highest end $500...

Very dissapointing to only see 3GB on there as standard. Hopefully the 6GB models will be fairly common.

It should be pretty quick with a full 384bit interface though. The 770 looks interesting...

What do you guys think about dual graphics cards for 3D? As I understand it each frame simply has to be rendered twice which seems to fit well with dual cards or is that also going to suffer in the...

3rd from the top (including Titan). But as Alexko said, its price that will determine whether the comparison is valid. Even if NV do launch the 770 at the 670 price level though, its likely AMD will...

Kaveri is already a cut down PS4 APU, this APU is far beyond the PS4 and also obviously fake.
