Ignore the 94p. :p

Cheapest possible rig I could make with GTX Titan SLI, which will actually work

No bottlenecking whatsoever will occur. The A4 APU is at least twice as powerful as the 3970X.

Just think of the money you will save --> Buy a PS4. :D

Just Cause dev claims “PS4 will out-power most PCs for years-

PS4 will out-power PCs for years to come

Blomberg talked about the PS4 hardware and focussed upon the 8GB of GDDR5 RAM the machine will be equipped with as standard “It’s a perfect fit for the types of games we do, and we are confident that we’ll bring open-world gaming to a whole new level because of it. I’m glad Sony decided to go with 8GB RAM because it means that the PS4 will out-power most PCs for years to come”.
