    The reality is that until established and successful franchises come, visual fidelity takes precedence when making the decision to adopt early. The first generation of games will be comparable to Crysis 3 at high settings with maaa. Those looking to buy a PS4 need to ask themselves if Crysis 3 at high is the 'generational leap' they've been hoping Reply +1

    The reality is that we have a system that with the right optimisations can maintain 30fps on high settings in Crysis 3 with aa. The first generation of games will only match the visual quality of crysis 3 at high settings, so those possibly buying at launch need to ask themselves if that is enough to entice them; is that the 'generational leap' they expected? Until well established and successful franchises come to the table, graphocal Reply 0

    @riseer AMD Driver support has improved a lot, but is still some way behind the ease and consistency of Nvidia. My general rule of thumb is AMd for single gpu or NVIDIA if you plan to use SLI in the future. Crossfire is just not up to scratch at the minute. Reply +1

    @riseer It's a difficult one to call, but if developers are going to be working with 8 core Jaguars CPUs then this can only benefit those with AMD chips. It'll do wonders as well for keeping AMD competitive in the high end CPU space. Whether it will topple the single threaded grunt of Intel is hard to predict. Regardless, we all need competition to reap the rewards. Reply 0

    @Yautja_Warrior I agree with what you say to an extent, but I sincerely hope the nextbox isn't the prime development platform. The work sony has done with the ps4 will hopefully ensure it as the lead platform. If the nextbox is identified as an inferior platform to develop for then i say shame on microsoft for not competing. You guys want better pc ports? Support the ps4 over the nextbox. All shall be revealed by the end of the month! Reply 0

    As an owner of a 7950 and pc enthusiast the 7950 would be the ideal upgrade to ensure superior gaming from next gen console ports. Pair with an i5 quadcore and you should be set. The purported specs of both consoles all but confirm in my mind the ps4 is still firmly rooted as a games console as priority. The nextbox however has veered towards being a multipurpose device.
