which gpu has equal performance of ps4

More about : ps4 equivalent gpu

January 22, 2014 9:25:37 PM

Probably like a 270.

The PS4 uses a "modified" HD 7870
Here's the proof: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/171375-reverse-engin...

So comparable to an NVidia GTX 580, 660, 660 Ti, according to Tom's Hardware:

Nice video . But it proved nothing .Even they couldnt tell which was better . Btw , the tests were superficial . They should have measured the frames per second .

I didn't see a video. I was only looking at the pics and analysis of the PS4 mainboard. Hardware- wise I think that proved quite a lot.

"Tests" and FPS would only be a very general performance comparison. Any PS4 games will my optimized for PS4 before they are released.

maybe , somewhere in between HD 7790 and HD 7850 .
Get R9 270 it is an awesome video card.Or better.

not even close, more like a r9 240, its just optimized to play games better. If you want similar preformance in a pc get a 270x. it will be able to play BF4 on high setting at 900p at a constant 60fps, wich is what he ps4 plays it on. (the 270x will only sometimes go below 40 on these settings)

Thats bullsht, my gtx 770 doesn't even get 60fps constantly on ultra settings 900p.
In larger battles, fps drop to 45 is very common.

There is no exact GPU for the PS4. It runs BF4 at 30-45fps at 900p at high-settings equivalent.

I'm not going to continue arguing about FPS. My R9 270X, with a little OC, runs BF4 1080p Ultra Settings at 60-70FPS. At worst it drops to low 50s. At high it stays around high 80s. I tested it with FRAPS a dozen times.

Don't trust everything you read on the internet, buy the cards and try it yourself and you will realize how silly PC gaming really is. I have a gtx 770 as well, it also drops to 40 fps frequently in BF4 and other games.

Your problem is within your software. It's likely that only setting up the whole system from 0 again will improve your pc.
I 1. had a single 270x and it could run at max above 60fps but sometimes there were framedrops. Now i have a 270x cf pc and this can easily take everything above 80fps.
You guys with the 770 and the 290 not keeping above 60fps at 900p. There is something wrong, if it's the powersupply or software, but your system isn't running on full throttle!

I just solved my own problem!!! Turns out FX 8350 must be paired with dual channel ram. I switched my 1 stick 8gb ram to 2 stick 4gb ram and my BF4 fps went from 30~45 in DX11 to 55~80 now! Even watch dogs runs at least 15~20 fps higher.

Regardless of the GPU, you will need to also remember that the PS4 uses its GPU much more efficiently than a PC does. If you want to get exactly the same performance then you will need to go a tier above what everyone has mentioned above.

I use to have a 760 and it was quite a bit better than what my ps4 can do. According to tests done on the 750ti, it can perform equivalent to slightly better than the ps4. I know nothing of the AMD side, so I wont comment on that.

They bring in the far clipping plane significantly for console titles. On the PC with a 270 with the clipping plane as short as it is on the PS4/XB1 the fps would probably be in excess of 120fps.

The PS4 uses a redacted 7870 GPU core with unified memory (like a tablet). This is why a PC with a 7870 outperforms the PS4 & XB1 and the R9 270X is an overclocked 7870. This is also why it is possible that the next iPad will outperform the "next gen" consoles.

No it doesn't. This is the first set of consoles in the history of gaming where they are selling the console hardware at a profit.

The unified memory architecture creates a bottleneck of contention where every GPU core and every CPU core are in competition to access RAM. They also put in low speed 1.75/1.6 GHz CPU cores whereas PC CPUs are now running at 3.3GHz. This was again a decision based on cost to keep them cheap (like a tablet) and means they don't need a significant cooling system (again like a tablet).

An actual 7870 has 20 compute units but the PS4 & XB1 have 18 &12 (respectively). That reduction combined with the memory contention means the PS4 & XB1 will never outperform a low-end PC. The technology they used in these "next gen" consoles is obsolete in PC terms. nVidia has since launch a budget card for $150 that outperforms the consoles and an i5 processor will deliver a bigger punch than the tablet cores of the consoles.

If that wasn't bad enough the XB1 uses system-grade DDR3 RAM for everything. That's like having an *integrated* graphics card. At least the PS4 has GDDR5, GPU-grade memory even if it is still shared.

The XB1 hardware is obsolete across the board and the PS4 hardware would be great if it were handheld. This failure to deliver might usher in a second gaming depression not seen since the release of ET. These consoles are fucking terrible and the denialism is only going to last so long before the people that bought them feel scammed and stop using them. How can you have fun when you know you got ripped off and your girlfriends new iPad has cooler shit on it?

To get comparable performance on a PC you have to *step down* the graphics card and disable CPU cores.

I could not wait for the PS4 release, I wanted them to shutup and take my money ... and they managed to do such a shitty job of it they beat me away as a customer.

Most of the time the difference in people arguing about frames in BF4 pc is the rez scale Ultra preset actually has it pretty low most people turn it up(make the game look tons better) but cost a fair amount of frames. Found people saying they are getting high frames with weaker cards have it turned down below 120 and awesome GPU's running lower frames running 170+. Personally I prefer 45 min FPS and a high rez scale over turning it down to gain frames. As long as I stay over 45 Im fine.

Guys, the GTX 980 just launched for $550, and the 970 for $330. Both will handle the game at highest settings at 2560 x 1440, all while being far more power efficient than even the old 680's. Beast of a card, massive deal on the price. No reason to not spend a few hundred dollars more than a console, and get an experience many orders of magnitude better.

It doesn't actually prove that, it just says it's for yield reasons, as in 18 compute units are used but the unit has 20 like the 7870 for redundancy so that they have 2 spare units. Essentially the chances of getting a higher yield of working 18 unit APU's is higher if they make 20 unit ones, the extra 2 even if they work will be disabled. 7850 is closer to the mark tho, mind you a 7850 is still theoretically higher than the theoretical performance claims of the PS4 APU if AMD and Sony's claims are anything to go by. I'd say midway between a 7790 and 7850. Mind you if it's anything like the Kaveri compute units, 8 of those are the CPU ones with only 10 being the GPU ones, as the A10-7850K has 12 compute units, 4 cpu 8 gpu.

An R9 270 with an i3 3220 or a quad core AMD CPU/APU or better would give the same or better results than a PS4 (the top A10 APU's which are somewhat faster than the PS4 APU on the CPU front are comparable to a mid level i3 on the cpu front)

Mind you the AMD A10's are not far off, give it a year or so and they will be on a par with the consoles as they can play most current games on medium-high settings at 720p already at playable frame rates, a few more GPU units and they will be there.
