PS4 and Xbox Rumours

They'd have to otherwise it wouldnt work. They could overallocate one side or they might conflict. That would be one of the standard dev debugging tools. What is using how much memory.

Would it be better to have two separate rams one for gfx and one for system? I know the ram is fast but any time that the system and the gfx is using ram I.e in a game won't the latency increase and bandwidth for each of the system and gfx reduce significantly as both transfer over the bus at the sane time?

the ps4 setup is far more efficient, for example if you had 6GB graphics and 2GB system.

then the system could be limited in stuff that it can do, compared with having access of up to 8GB of RAM.

the store for example, i hate how long stuff takes to load, i hope the ps4 uses all 8GB when looking at the store and simple pre-loads items into RAM.

Nicely made fake, but the render is far too low quality for anything professional. Looks like a student knocked it up one afternoon in maya!

They tried that in the PS3, and the GPU was effectively crippled by the lack of ram. The PS3 had 512mb, split into 2 banks of 256mb. The GPU only had access to 1 bank.

We are excited to bring War Thunder to the leading next-generation platform, the PS4."

Well I sort of meant is it going to be a short one 4-5 years like Xbox > Xbox 360, a medium one of 7-8 years like 360 > Infinity or a long one, 10 years. But never mind. The answer cannot be given until 2020 or so. :D
