Console performance vs PCs over time

[MrRockliffe]

Hi all,

I remembered seeing a slide at some point that demonstrated how back in 2004, the original Xbox and PS2 made a big leap in performance vs PCs at the time, whereas current consoles are rather lacking in performance compared to PCs

I'd be immensely grateful if anyone that is familiar with such a slide/data sheet could post a link to it

Many thanks

No that's exactly it!

Genius!!!

Lol I literally searched for the same terms and it didn't show it

I don't remember the xbox 360 ever outperforming a good PC. The graphics quality was never anywhere near PC level.

According to the graph, it will have been around launch. I would imagine within a few months NVIDIA will have released a new GPU that was significantly more powerful than a 360.

The choice of a non linear logarithmic scale feels like its been designed to suggest PC graphics grunt hasn't moved on as much leaps as consoles.

The slide is from NVIDIA so not sure why they'd want to imply that

360 was launch in November 2005, just a few months after the 7 series of cards launched.

Nvidia didn’t release the superb 8 series for another year.

Interesting - perhaps they compared it to mid range 7 series?

ridiculous argument when a gaming monitor and GPU combined are like £1500 alone these days for something decent.

Ridiculous argument when you don't have to spend anywhere near that to get a good gaming experience
