Ok the latest alleged Durango rumors per sources suggest a Cape Verde GPU, as much as 8GB of DDR3 (!).
These same imply PS4 looking at a better GPU but less RAM.
Salt salt salt but interesting. They make me turn over Mark Rein's comments all the more. Perhaps he wasn't just referring to Sony when trying to pump next gen specs up as I originally assumed, maybe the XB3 GPU isn't great shakes either.
I am not sure I trust these "sources" but I love a good detective hunt and all. For me the gold standard source is still lherre and he seems pretty bullish on next gen hardware.
Cape Verde also makes some sense in light of the 6670 allegations, since it's not that far from CV and perhaps MS recently upgraded.
Cape Verde at least looks good compared to 6670.
The other thing I keep coming back to is Epic's slide about 1.1 TF needed for UE4 at 720P. All along I've wondered why they would mention that info if perhaps not trying to tell us something? Could be nothing of course. It doesn't change the fact next gen games at 720P would be damn disappointing.
As I said though, I'm skeptical of all the above, but it's interesting to discuss anyway.
Coming back to it though, Cape Verde would still be highly disappointing. It barely trumps the exceedingly old 4890 from 2009 housed in my PC.
