The PS5 will probably be the "exclusives machine" since I have Game Pass Ultimate subscription until like March 2022.Thanks for clearing that up.
In my mind I was definitely thinking PS5 at launch but those specs have made me think twice, especially now I know that if I bought Cyberpunk on the One X then I'll get the Series X version whenever its released.
The most common way to express teraflops for GPUs right now is single-precision. Imagine how awful it'd be if loads of Xbox Series X games had a 12 at the end of their name, like Halo 12 and Gears 12 because of teraflops, like Mario 64 and Goldeneye 64 did with bits.They've always been focused on this kind of stuff. Now it’s teraflops. And all it takes its a friend's groups early adopter making this decision before long the rest of that group follows him.I know the response it's about the games, games games, but this is only now because the tables are turned when it was the other way around it was all about how much better games were on ps4.Now those exclusives absolutely do matter but no one is taking into account the fact that Microsoft hasn't even began to show their hand in this regard and even if the PS4 had all the games you "had" to play it can easily change.I felt the same way about ps4 exclusives and still own a ps4 pro (and 0 Xbox) but go back a generation and I couldn't care less about Sony's exclusives and everything I wanted to play was on 360.Just keep all this in mind the Xbox being more powerful out the gate matters (it isn't insignificant its almost 33% more power) and though you say you don't care about high fidelity gaming that may be true today but 5 years from now you may not be so much.1080p is fine when all you know is 1080p but wait til you can't get a 1080p screen (1080p on a 4k screen leaves a lot to be desired).Every system has its exclusives and those maybe all some gamers care about but the casual "COD or NBA guys" could care less about them and they'll just go where everyone else is and those people will go where their early adopter friends go and if those early adopters go with the most powerful console (like they've done before).They have to be quite similar for dev to makes games on they are going to be power houses. My PS3 gets way more use than my PS4, but I got an XB1S when I learned they had back-compat all the way back to their original Xbox. The Series X, at 12TF, could well be more like 15/16TF if it was based on Polaris instead of RDNA2.Most instructions are FP32 but the Pro can handle FP16 instructions which effectively 'double' the amount of instructions a GPU can do so the Pro could be 8.4TF if only FP16 instructions are used.The calculation is quite basic.
Floating-point arithmetic is the common way to crunch numbers in game development. There are exceptions, but that's all they are. Will definitely flops.ps5 reigns supreme at 14 teraflops.word ☝ up son@M1359 Not really. ;~;The PS5 has always been 9.2 it may be able to boost to 10+ for a few milliseconds but it's been clear from the hardware presentation that around 9 was more realistic.The best offline multiplayer games on PlayStation 4Games As a Service Should Be Embraced, Not MisunderstoodMarvel's Avengers Launch Trailer Is Short But SweetFall Guys PS4 Patch 1.06 Available Now, Here's All the Patch NotesMafia Remake Will Offer an Update at Gamescom Opening Night Live The difference in performance here isn't NOT significant and during the early days of ps4 vs Xbox one the story was always about how much better ps4 ran x game or the fact that ps4 was at true 1080p while xbox one had to "settle" for 900p or even less.The point I'm making is the difference in power at that time was even less than what we have here and though you may tell yourself "oh I don't care I'll always be just as happy with 1080p".Well you may feel this way but those early reports and differences in performance are a bias that moves a lot of non "fanboy" types to wherever their games play best.360 lost tons of users during the transition because of this. I expect XSX games that run at 4K 120FPS to be 4K 60FPS or 1440p-1800p 120FPS on the PS5, and the PS5 will have, I dunno, one second loading times while the XSX has two second loading times.
