So does it record TV or just allow me to switch channels with my voice? I wonder how it interfaces with the likes of SkyHD + as that's pretty superb as it is already IMO. Could we just be talking...

Right, but it's made by a Japanese developer like Capcom.

Hence the response referencing Capcom to the following statement was perfectly valid:

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?

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...

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...

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.
