Nvidia says Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are great news for gaming PCs

[Godlygamer23]

I dunno we are about to hit another generation gap where if game makers want to make absolutely the best looking games possible they will want it on 4k, and consoles are damn sure not going to be pushing that. Previous generation consoles fell into a reasonably safe new 1080p market.

Though after years, it wasn't really 1080p. Not even 720p for most games. In fact Black Ops II is rendered at a resolution below the Retina display at 30 or less FPS.

lol wut? I find it funny that speed test says: "Slower than 93% of GB" just to make you feel even worse! xD I feel you man, I once had 3G internet and it was worse than that.

 that is my 3g wifi dongle but the data  costs loads and it has a very unstable ping.

Meanwhile in the 240p land of my house 

B*tch please! Our's is a little slower in the third world. This is my connection that I've used day to day that's why I never stop complaining about the XBOne. They don't know the horror of the connection in the third world.

Well, that's not as slow as mine was. Still, if that is the best you can get were you live in that is really sad. The UK isn't that big as well, compared to Canada and the US for example, so there should be no excuse...

I would agree with you about the US (large country, crappy infrastructure), but the UK (small country, good infrastructure)?

If you can stream 720p in real-time (without buffering), you can stream games since that's basically all it would be (from my understanding of it at least). I can stream 1080p with a 375KB/s download speed (barely), so I think 720p should be easy.

@JAKEBAB,

While 1080p is easy to stream, I completely doubt the infrastructure for even modern countries could handle streaming 4K. That's at least 1.25 MB/s download speeds (at the VERY least) which is 10 Mb/s which I can't have where I live (Texas).

well i have 20mb down and that is in most places in australia and i think its crap i wish i had 100mb down or 1gb down which i will hopfully have in a couple years.

375KB/s is just 3 Megabits/s.

It's .. horrible. So horrible.

I'm confused. You're making it sound like in two years, consoles will do better than PC.

no, consoles in 2 years time will pull down graphics cause they cant keep up, thus pulling down pc cause game developers are restricted again slowing graphics progress

Worst of all, those consoles may have a 10yr. lifetime which is the worst situation we could imagine. Last-gen consoles have 7yrs. lifetime. I wish this wouldn't happened.
