Does it also mean cross platform?
So my character on X1 can also be used when i playing on ps4?
Given how i will probably have a friendbase on both consoles.
My guess is developers want to have 192GB/s over all the memory not some tiny amount that can probably only hold your Gbuffer. Maybe later on when launch pressure is over and only need to support next gen systems they can focus on the data juggle job with esram.
I mean there must be an reason...
How important are the rops actually these days?
My guess was that both consoles have enough pixel fillrate to do 1080p@60fps
Given that forza 5 runs at those specs and with some Msaa(?). And it has been a very long time that i heard pixel fillrate being named for causing a gpu to not render...
But if rops were an issue wouldn't that mean that Forza 5 shouldn't run at 1080p@60fps and 2xMSAA(?) ?
Next gen is just weak compared to top of the mid end pc game segment with that i mean the 7870 level cards not even the 79xx cards. Still shouldn't keep people from enjoying the games.
