Diminishing returns
Anyways, so the game is using 4.5GB not the 3GB GAF is crowing about. That's equivalent to like a 5.5GB console after OS reserves, so maybe PS4 doesn't just have that wildly much more RAM headroom than it sounds initially when you think "3GB, 8GB"
I dunno, if you were spending the better part of a year working to get everything to work in 3.5GB, it's not going to suddenly bloat to 6-7GB if you really were being efficient before on a game that's supposed to launch in November. A change like this likely wont have maximal benefits reaped until 2014-15.

Besides illustrating elementary math, I'm not sure what you are trying to say, though I sure it is negative.

Diminishing in comparison to PS2 to PS3 rubble pile jump?
Could be, yes. But I think it's still a nice upgrade. The pic doesn't show it well since it's downsized and with the KZ3 asset rendered in the KZSF engine too. Walk up close to that pile and it'll become clear imo. That's what we should all hope and expect of next gen, more details!Gradthrawn

Perhaps to some extent, but they have their reasons, apparently. Slide 59

Animation data is only taking a measly 75mb.. I think that's one area we can afford to splurge more to improve next gen feels.
If we only look at textures, streaming pool, and meshes (the good stuff), it comes out to around 2GB. Not an incredible figure, but enough to saturate detail at 1080p with a proper virtual texturing engine. Will be interesting to see how this memory breakdown goes as devs figure out ways to fill up the RAM in future titles.

The Durango "secret sauce" meme/term reached all the way to Guerrilla...
And they Trademarked it just for fun lol.
I doubt we can use a static shot of some dirt to conclude we have reached diminishing returns at the beginning of next gen. ^_^
It's like focusing on Kate Upton's (or Cindy Crawford's) mole, and then conclude that all women look like crap.
Probably need to look at how things move and "communicate".
Nice slides btw. I don't understand all of it though. ^_^
At least it's clear how they tally up the memory map size.
Also confirmed that they moved from the mostly single threaded PPU code to the now jobs-oriented multi-threaded CPU code.

At least 1 OS reserved I bet.

Kate Upton has a mole? Never noticed. Her portly waist-hip area is kind of distracting though

Portly? Wtf
Check some of the items where they show time in cycles and microseconds.
The simplest math is when they highlight a single item on one core, like the sAllocatorMutex::Lock slide.
It's 68,233 cycles /(1/1,000,000*42 second) = ~ 1.6 billion cycles/second.
edit:
It works the same for the soldier update slide, which has multiple packets that are handily summed up for us.

I remember something about them demo being made before they move the audio work to the audio hardware.
(I'll go look for the info.)

What can I say ? You guys may be the pixel counter for video game screenshots, but...
[Look around to make sure wife doesn't look this way]
Let him dream.
I happen to like the increased geometry in the rubble pile. It happens to be a markedly visual improvement even in the slide. Seeing that in motion being able to zoom up on it will be pretty dang cool. Sure there's diminishing returns, but geometry is one of those areas of graphics that can be improved a lot the more you have of it. I can only hope all next gen games have that kind of geometry put into it.
