(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Over the past few weeks Nvidia has been on the offensive against the PlayStation 4, saying its hardware is already outdated. AMD has since joined the fight, standing up for Sony and the PlayStation 4, saying that they gave it the hardware Nvidia couldn’t.

Now Nvidia appears to have come out on Sony’s side, for once. During a recent presentation of its high-end PC graphics card, Titan, they compared it not only to the PlayStation 4, but the Xbox 720 as well.

In the presentation slides, Nvidia compares console vs PC performance over a number of years. More interestingly, the presentation slides reveal Nvidia’s claims that its Titan is three times more powerful than the PlayStation 4 AMD GPU, and even more powerful than the Xbox 720 GPU (also rumored to be made by AMD).

It would appear that Nvidia has some inside information about the Xbox 720 hardware, as the console is represented on the graph. According to the slide (seen below), the PlayStation 4 GPU is rated about 2,500 GPU FLOPS higher than the Xbox 720 GPU.

It looks like the PlayStation 4 GPU is only marginally more powerful than the Xbox 720 — about 10%, according to Nvidia. We’ll have to wait until Microsoft reveals the full specs before we can compare, but we doubt there will be that much of performance difference between the two consoles.

Check out Nvidia’s presentation slide below, showing how the PlayStation 4 GPU is positioned just slightly above the Xbox 720 GPU.

:ha!: a xbox 720 wont be close to titan, you know how much money Nvidia would lose? microsoft would need to fatten up there wallets, and inb4 kids think because somthing has more cores that makes it more strong and same with ram

Hurah!
They both should allow users/buyers to install there own gpu cards on to consoles. Which I think would be awesome.

If people want that why not just get a gaming PC?
Consoles are meant for easy, and quick gaming, not as super graphically advanced machines.

With the difference being small it should be good to see what it means.
Why does Nvidia know this ?
nvidia is one of the biggest computer companies in the world who has their hands in dozens of projects , im pretty sure a company that does as much researching as they do to invent new ideas would be considered to design hardware for either company amd must have given something similar but cheaper is the only explanation, and technically ps3 and xbox360 had the same cpu 360 just had a weaker less modified version of it

No. They didn't have the same CPU.
PS3 used a CELL variant, and Xbox used an Xenon variant.

Well gaming pc is massive in size compared to a console. Also it does not justify paying £400+ for a console. It's a choice customers can make if console manufactures added gpu slot. The whole point of these consoles is to mimic a gaming pc in the first place.

Lol, I love hearing; omg 8gb of ram. Then it's like, how good is your graphics? What? How good is your graphics? Uh, HD 4000. Yea, thought so.

Aha.
