Erm... your chart edit is very incorrect; the Playstation 4 has the equivalent of a Radeon HD 7850, not a Radeon RX 580.

As the HD 7850 is roughly only a third of the overall performance of the RX 580, you can see the optimisation hurdles that need overcoming. And that's not even considering there's only a total of 8GB RAM available - shared between OS, game, and GPU buffer - and an Intel i3 tier CPU for processing.

Meanwhile, the PS5 has the equivalent of a 5700 XT, not a 6700 XT.

Also, keep in mind the PS4 and PS5 are running an OS built on BSD Unix, so the OS overhead is much less than on a PC or Xbox, which means performance on the PlayStation systems tends to outstrip an equivalent PC or the same generation's Xbox system.

The promise of Vulkan is to remove this CPU bottleneck.

Ah yes, Vulkan. When is it coming to SC again?

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Thou shalt not criticize SC or CIG!

Also, bonus points for saying its the backer's fault instead of CIG's.

no one can can get a PS5! PC saved two times baby!

Mine arrived

No games worth playing though. I should have bought a few Cutlass reskins instead.

Who are you...and did you bring a note?

That's a Genuine Roberts Promise™, that will be retconned into never having been a promise when it isn't delivered.

I preemptively absolve Chris.

Not an MMO?

But this time Roberts didn't even invent Vulkan...

i was trying to let people know this really isnt an mmo, but they werent that interested

Are CIG still handing out silly bans for "too much killing"?

Fornite has changed a lot since i last played.

 

[LanceLord]

Insane. Period.

Not as much as it may seem. Especially when the likes of crypto & NFTs based games are giving SC faithful a run for their money

On it's way !

I got the PS4 wrong, didn't realise how old the PS4 was.

However so far as i can see all the results you found are measuring the GPU's in Compute Through Put, FP32 TFlops, which has no bearing what so ever on gaming performance.

For example the 3060TI has 16.2 TFlops FP32 Through Put
My 2070 Super has 9.06 TFlops FP32 Through Put, that's +78% to the 3060TI, and yet in gaming its only about 15% faster.

The 5700XT is RDNA1
The PS5 is RDNA2, like the 6700XT

The PS5 RDNA2 GPU runs at 2.23Ghz, vs the 5700XT at around 1.9Ghz.

The PS5 is not as fast as the 6700XT, i didn't say it was, it sits just below it, above the 5700XT.

Not on the roadmap for the coming year.

 

[Skizomeuh]

Everything is on its way

 

[VR Golgot]

Has been for a while, yep.

July 10 2020:

For core techs, they are a bunch of them actively worked and not on the roadmap too (Vulkan API, fire propagation, components, etc).
For the estimation to finish systems, I will respond you later.

July 24th 2020:

Vulkan is wip since 2 years, etc. Nothing in SC has been made in less than 3 months.

PS any news on that estimation?

(Or fire propagation and components for that matter )
