Witcher 3 Dev promises only 30fps on consoles

Oh look, yet further proof of console's giant pile of shit status

They're not weak sauce. they're just pushing a stupid ton of AA.

It's not a stupid ton of AA, standing at a Wii U stand I wonder why they didn't reduce shaders to push more AA since it looks really jaggy.

Also they are fairly decent with 8x1.8 Ghz CPU core that Turbo Boost decently.

And the 1.84 Gigahertz GPU ain't too shabby , Just it really would perform so much better with HSA so all the GPU instructions don't need to be push from the CPU

The Witcher series are a beast to run. The game really puts a strain on my system. Considering this game will be an Open World bonanza with the beautiful graphics the Witcher has shown us before, i'll be amazed if they can run 30 fps on lowest possible settings.

This pleases GabeN

So nice to see the dirty filth covered peasants getting what they deserve.

Brilliant marketing move, giving people what they want.

PC gamers: ha, look at consoles and their pathetic 30fps.

console gamers: ha, look at PC's and their excessive 60+fps.

The 8 Jaguar cores run at 1.6GHz in the PS4 and 1.75GHz in the Xbox One. Those are the base clocks, so they may run higher under certain conditions, but to what frequency, I don't know. 

 

The GPU in the PS4 runs at 800mhz and has 1152 shaders. The Xbox One GPU has 768 shaders and runs at 853mhz. Both GPU's are based on the same GCN architecture. Because the PS4 uses 8GB GDDR5 RAM at 5500mhz, it actually has pretty respectable performance for it's price point. The Xbox, on the other hand, is pretty weak because of the much slower DDR3 RAM and cut-down GPU. 

 

But again, (this is not directed at you, @Kingofpants), my beef with the Xbox One and PS4 is not with the hardware. Just look at the Wii U. It's specs are even weaker, yet there are quite a few really cool, fun games (IMO) being released for it this year and next. Game consoles should be all about the games, not the hardware. Just my two cents...

That's why I love my PC since I prefer true 1080p at a buttery smooth 60 fps since 30 fps looks disgusting.
