Thread: What GPU Will The New PlayStation 4 Have?

What GPU will the new ps4 have? The ps3 had an RSX in it which was comparable to a 8800 geforce card. My guess is that the ps4 will have something like a modified nvidia 480 gtx. This is currently the most powerful card in the computer market with the exception of the ATI 5970. If it takes 2 years to develop the system it makes sense that they would go with one of these two cards. However, the 5970 is too expensive and goes for about $700. The 480 GTX goes for about $499 so perhaps it will be something cheaper in the range of a 470 gtx or 460 which are somewhat cheaper.

To give an idea of what kind of power a 480 GTX has I will provide an example. Crysis for PC can run at over 80 fps with a 2560 X 1600 resolution, 4X anti-aliasing and full tesselation with a 480 gtx. That is crazy resolution and you would need a damn projector to make use of it. Bump this down to 1080p, which will likely be standard in ps4, and you get an idea of how good the graphics could be on a new console.
