Haha, necro much? :). I’m too crook to play faster-paced console games now, so almost entirely play strategy games on PC, but a couple of years ago I was gaming a PC with a core i7 and a GTX 660 (similar GPU and significantly inferior CPU to the current consoles) and a PS4, and the PS4 was capable of better visuals at a given framerate. There wasn’t much in it though, deffo nothing to get excited about, although I’d expect another couple of years of optimisation would have made the gap a little larger. There is, of course, also optimisation for PC games but the return on optimisation is far greater for consoles because of the fixed platform, so historically there’s always* (on average, across the platform – there are still individual console games that are optimised terribly) been greater optimisation on console.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t play and enjoy older PC games, particularly given the more gentle curve in hardware improvements these days (11 years ago, an 11-year old card wouldn’t have been good for contemporary games, but the improvement in hardware capability over the last 11 years has been a good deal slower). That said, for modern ‘AAA’ games, an 11-year old card may struggle – Dishonored 2 has a min spec of a GTX 660, and that’s only a five year old card – to play with an 11-year old card you’d want something pretty impressive from way back when.

* Well, back to the early 1980s, I can’t do console/computer comparisons earlier than that :P.

and where did you get this info axe? funny i watched youtube videos of pc gamers that say there is optimization (which there is) hence why i have this 11 year old graphics card and im still playing the games i love.

Beyond the fact that the consoles still have a few hardware advantages (unified memory, for example), you still get the optimisations for console you don’t get for PC – PC hardware is incredibly varied, and it just isn’t cost-effective for PC versions of games (which generally make less money in total than their console releases) to optimise for literally hundreds of different hardware combinations. On console, on the other hand, they have to optimise literally for two, fixed hardware combinations, and can re-use those optimisations over half a decade or more.

Look at Shadow of Mordor – it’s a great game visually on PC, but you get very close to high-end PC performance on console for a fraction of the price, and without any of the tech headaches that often come with PC gaming. And this is all in the first year – give it another couple of years and both the XB1 and PS4 will be pulling off things their ‘base’ GPU/CPU combination in a comparable PC couldn’t dream of (not unlike how the original Xbox, a veritable PC-in-a-box, achieved over a decade ago).

Prior generations that was true but both PS$ and Xbone both share x86 architecture like pc’s and similar gpu structure coding for them is nearly identical now so the Metro comments and 360 references no longer apply

7770, the 90 bit on the end usually referred to a dual gpu on AMD’s old naming scheme

true…also need to keep in mind both console had wide different in performance..especially the gpu…
ps4 gpu was hd7850 while xboxone gpu 7790
is funny because now not like ps3 and 360 anymore which is both had on par performance
this is worst build i ever seen…not only worst..also seems outdated
