My GPU server runs at 90tflops. 12 tflops is like a 2070 Super.
And how many people have setups like that, let alone even have one high end card like that, with a high end PC good enough to play everything with the eye candy turned up?
And you're probably using that server from cryptomining, not gaming, so not really the same thing.
But after reading your whole post, I think you're full of it. I don't believe you have a server with that, or that you would have the knowledge to build one like that.
QuoteAll gaming consoles are already outdated before they ever got released.
That's because they're designed with the best at a specific moment in time. Tech doesn't stand still, but the devs also have a consistent platform to optimize the game to look as good as they possibly can. Plus there will be driver upgrades, firmware upgrades, etc, that will help as time goes along.
There will likely be a "pro" refresh halfway thru that'll improve things too.
I may have bought my PS4 when it first came out years ago, but it's not like I've been wanting for graphics or anything in game play.
QuoteI seriously doubt manufacturers are going to be able to offer better games on them, than on PC.[/quote[
You must be a troll. Most AAA games are available on all 3 major platforms (PS4, Xbox, PC). In many cases, the PC version comes later. In a lot of cases, those games play better on the consoles than the PC as they don't get the resource the consoles did.
Some games play better on PC - FPS IMO do.
Bottom line is the devs are going to offer the games where it'll make them the most money.
QuoteThey're going to sell very few consoles, and the consoles will be discontinued before anyone ever can buy more than a handful of games on them.
You're clueless. Consoles outsell gaming PCs by far.
Devs wouldn't even bother developing for a console if it wasn't going to sell.
QuoteNot worth investing in. What Nintendo, MS, Sony should bring out is a console with 4x the graphics horsepower (8k) to be competitive.
Sadly, by the time they do, PC gamers will have even higher gear available (think pcie 4.0 GPUs that are fast like RTX Titans).
Your ignorance shows.
First off, 8K TVs barely exist, and few have them. Developing at that level would be utterly pointless as it's not worth the money for them.
NO ONE - AMD or Nvidia - has a chip capable of pushing 8k right now, and can barely push 4k at consistently playable rates - and not with all the eye candy turned up.
Titans are not meant for gaming. They're more for GPU apps, cryptomining, and rendering.
PCIe 4.0 means nothing - PCIe 5.0 will supplant it quickly, but it has little to with performance. Even the current top line cards from AMD and Nvidia can't utilize all a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can offer.
And as I said, if things do improve where more performance is called for, Xbox and PS5 will see a refresh with better specs.
If the gaming industry listened to you, they'd be broke within a year. It's not about what's "the best", it's about what will sell the most. A great game that requires the insane amount of hardware you suggest wouldn't sell much as the vast majority of people wouldn't have hardware and couldn't afford it. The vast majority of gamers have something in the middle.
And like you said, tech becomes obsolete quick. Today's high end is tomorrow's midrange. It's often cheaper and better to regularly buy a midrange than buy a high end and keep it longer.
Who's going to pay $2500 for a console - the price of 1 Titan RTX?
