I'd say my 7850 is from what I've saw of my stepsons xbox one
The 7850 is better than the Xbox one's.
The PS4 is running like a midway between a 7850 and 7870.

I am certain that for previous gens, there was a noticeable difference in favour of the consoles at launch and for a fair while after
Consoles are good for kids, they just turn them on and away they go, no faffing around with virus protection or problem games. If my kids were younger they would get one. Thank god they are old enough now to handle PC's.
Not saying consoles = kids, but from a parents point of view they are cheap and easy and that is also a big market.
It will be interesting in a few years with regards to what happens with the next gen consoles once 4k tv's are the norm.I think the biggest difference this generation is that the PS4 is targetting native 1080P, which is also the most common PC gaming resolution at this time and for the foreseeable future.
In the previous generation consoles targeted 640P to 720P even though PC's were already in the 1280x1024 to 1600x1200 region, so consoles were already lagging behind PC's at launch.
I think PS4 has closed the gap considerably on PC's but you will still get much better textures and details on PC, Xbox One is sort of half a generation behind PS4 in my view in that it's obviously way more powerful than 360/PS3 but still limited to 720P.

how long are these next gen consoles supposed to last? please tell me it's not another 8 years or they will hold gaming back again
That said, resolution wise it is probably the closest it has ever been, as two generations back consoles generally weren't hooked up to HDTVs. Also worth bearing in mind that according to the steam hardware survey last month, of single monitor users less than 40% run at 1080p or above.
well if your using loads of AA anyway the difference isn't that big imo at least for a lot of gamesThey'll probably just upscale to 4k for gaming.
People on these forums are saying they can't tell the difference between 720P and 1080P so I don't think MS/Sony will be in any hurry to rush new consoles out.
I guess the majority will be even more impressed by PS4 running in 1080P then.![]()
Yes they have.
the graphics aren't even that close compared to some of the exclusive pc games that actually make an effort.
the biggest jump is textures and AA everything else like the shadows and lighting doesn't look anything special and the FPS is not great from the limiting viewing of my stepson playing ryse at his mothers.
pc games at least the ones that make an effort look about the same if not slightly better overall and most of us are running them double the fps these console games are running at.
8 slow cores sure I'd love to see how they handle the cpu intensive games with tons of AI and stuff going on in the background that some pc games have whilst still maintaining the same graphics and a good fps
in my eyes they are barely next gen the jump in technology considering the 8 year gap between the xbox360 and xbox one is not exactly huge

But the PS4 cant even run BF4 at a native 1080p ( it is being upscaled from 900p) so even the PS4 is already pretty underpowered compared with a good PC with midrange cards in sli/xfire or a single 780/290.
