Still with the 16bg? Nvidia is just too dominant, it's the only reason they can get away with this and the pricing.

ZycoFox167d ago

It's probably "good enough" for a few years, Nvidia have a habit of giving you just enough if anything below the very top card these days.

Jingsing166d ago

There literally isn't any future proofing an NVIDIA card, They just add new "must have" features that your previous gen card can't do.

PRIMORDUS166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

What can probably hurt Nvidia is that all the tech. youtubers, like Gamers Nexus, JayzTwoCents, etc. the ones that have millions of subs, just bash them and make you not want to buy their GPUs. To the point where Nvidia would really feel it. This should also spread to other sites like WCCFTECH, Tom's Hardware, TechPowerUp, PC World etc. This would put some hurt on Nvidia, and if they lost money good for them. They have enough, damn rich greedy fucks.

Jingsing166d ago

Those Youtubers were part of the problem for the longest time, they would keep making video pr0n from the free gpu's they would get sent without of real sense of the cost. Now you have a bunch of new upcoming ones who just use their adsense money to do it instead.

Furesis166d ago

Actually those help them lol, it's an add at the end of the day. For example i'm using youtube and i get recommended one of these videos. Before that i wasn't even thinking/cared of buying anything new but now i'm thinking about it, the seed has been planted, now im looking for a new GPU for example and i dont even realistically need one.

rakentaja167d ago (Edited 167d ago )

No competition. They even raise the price and give you the same amount of memory.
Be thankful that the card has 16GB instead of 12GB, with "HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" written underneath in small font.

FinalFantasyFanatic166d ago

12GB would just doom that card, games from more than a few years were already starting to use 12GB plus. This card isn't going to have many years of longevity before games start exceeding its 16GB limit.

Shiro173166d ago

Ya do understand is 16gb of gddr7 right?

cluclap166d ago

That's not the point. If I'm paying 1500+ for a gpu I would want it to have some sort of future proofing. There are already games on the market that hit the 16gb ceiling, I don't expect the card to run future ps6 games at high settings, but at that price point it would've been at least 24gb. This will give more overhead. It's 2025, if next gen starts in 2028 at the minimum those games are going to require 16-24 gb by that time. So you mean to tell me all I get out of a $1500-$2000 card is 3 years?

Shiro173165d ago

Current cards are GDDR6..... 16g of GDDR7 Is like having 28g to 32g of Gddr6....

lucasnooker166d ago

I’ve had my PC for 10 years. Bought a Titan X pascal in 2016 and on a i7 5930k. It’s lasted me all of this time but now I’m about to finally bite the bullet and get a 9800x3D and a 5090! :D

FinalFantasyFanatic166d ago

My PC is getting on in years too, I don't want to replace that 1080ti yet, especially with the price of GPUs, but I'll probably need that GPU upgrade within a few years. I think I'll replace my entire PC at the 10 year mark, or close enough to it.

lucasnooker166d ago

Well I just noticed I can’t play Indiana jones and this is the first game in history I haven’t physically been able to boot the game because of my hardware. It’s only going to get worse from here…. It’s time…

FinalFantasyFanatic163d ago

I'm not interested in Indiana Jones myself, but I'm normally 2 years behind when it comes to playing AAA games, but I am starting to bump up against the 1080ti's VRAM limits, I can probably hold off a little longer if I have to (just lower the details a little). Hopefully, GPU prices will be a bit more reasonable in 2 or 3 years.

DivineHand125166d ago

That looks to be a massive jump in performance. It is also the best type of upgrade where you will truly see the difference.

CDbiggen165d ago

Will definitely upgrade to a 9800x3D this year.

phatak166d ago

only ones to blame for amd and intel tbh, all they have to do is compete with a similar quality product at the top end, instead they have raised the white flag and said they simply wont compete at the high end, really sucks for anyone looking for the best of the best .

Killa78166d ago

To an extent... AMD had something at the top end this time, the 7900xtx, but also made it prohibitively expensive.

If they re-release that for half the price, they may be onto a winner.

XBManiac165d ago (Edited 165d ago )

Not really. AMD can launch right now, in Q1 2025, a 3nm updated RDNA4 hardware with chiplet design that will cost a fraction of a 7900XTX and 24GB of VRAM. I'd not be surprised if Radeon RX 9070XT is a 24GB, RDNA4 card with 2 slot design and the same raster performance of a Radeon 7900XT, but 4x the Ray Tracing, as well as added AI electronics, with some kind of next gen specs that will be a presentation of what AMD UDNA will be in 2026. Power consumption is one of my concerns with what NVIDIA will bring... and it can help AMD this time.

XBManiac165d ago

To compete at the high end, AMD'd need to sell a 2000$ card... Would you buy it, if you have an NVIDIA card at the same price? AMD needs to wait until UDNA is ready, with their chiplet design, new architecture, mature 3rd gen X3D and Unreal 6 already shown.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH166d ago

And this is why there can NEVER be only ONE console maker. Let this be a lesson to all the console fanboys who only want ONE console on the market. Nvidia has no competition and look how they treat their customers. Over priced cards that still rely on up scaling to get better performance/visuals. BTW I have $2500 saved for the 5090 smh lol

TheColbertinator166d ago

I think everybody would be a lot happier if only Microsoft was making consoles. Nintendo can become a 3rd party publisher and Sony would go back to making only TVs or something.

MDTunkown166d ago

You don’t like ps5 pro price ?

Their recent Playstation revenue is also more than Xbox and Switch combined, obviously in large part due to 3rd party sales.

Christopher8h ago

I mean, if Sony is keeping third parties happy, kind of feels like a winning method.

IRetrouk4h ago

Kinda always been that way if you look at previous gens, exclusives are important but they aint the main revenue generator.

Reaper22_3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

.While that is impressive. Microsoft made 13 billion in one quarter. Making up facts doesn't make them true.

Mmmkay2h ago

microsoft is not xbox. a bot should know that by now. you have been told this bs 1000 times on this site alone.

OlderGamer1724m ago

Yeah Microsoft but Xbox on the other hand.....

thorstein58m ago

I prefer Playstation over Xbox when it comes to consoles but how does this news justify their layoffs?

Shane Kim32m ago

But the execs brother. You got to think about them. How could they otherwise buy yet another mansion and yacht?

MIDGETonSTILTS174h ago

And this is why the game output for ps5 has been a tad slower…

1) they needed to be… games take longer to develop, and they’d burn out their teams trying to maintain the same pace as ps3.

2) they can afford to… games cost more than ever to push boundaries, so Sony had to figure out a way to match Xbox’s clever profit strategies in order to afford to continue to innovate and take risks.

Reaper22_2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

@ s2killinit

Thats xbox which includes other services. The playstion division also includes other services as well. Its mostly playtion but not all playstation. What's up with all the double standards around here.

Chevalier2h ago

Yeah double standards like some idiots who got to talk about unrelated profits as a talking point. Wish those damn parrots could stay on topic with game related profits.

Next thing these idiots will talk about is something unrelated like Nintendo made more off the Mario movie than all of Xbox studios TV/movie endeavors combined you know?

@Chevalier

Mind you that’s only AFTER buying all those other companies adding them to the revenue. It was a LOT lower. This is Activision, Bethesda, and others COMBINED to get that number.

“The sales of windows professional on the other hand trounces god of war sales” 😂

Chevalier1h ago

"Mind you that’s only AFTER buying all those other companies adding them to the revenue. It was a LOT lower. This is Activision, Bethesda, and others COMBINED to get that number."

Guys we're off topic here you know? Can someone bring us back on topic and tell us how much revenue Xbox studios does for movies and TV? Pretty sure we should also discuss how much Nintendo stands to make at Universal studios on Nintendo land and the rides should be a hot ticket this summer.

"Ouch! hahaha no wonder reaper wanna hide behind profits made by windows XD"

Yeah idiots with some sort of inferiority complex needs to get their win somewhere though. But wait shouldn't we get back on topic guys? Like seriously how much money do you think Fallout Season 2 will bring in?!

Npugz72h ago

Only because of games prices otherwise it’s the worst generation in PlayStation history especially for games

Reaper22_2h ago

Thats true. The article did mention game and prices were a reason. Its also shows their greed is no different than Microsoft. Laying off all those people but yet bragging about profits and still tried to stop ABK deal. What the hell!

MatrixxGT1h ago

Closing studios, layoffs, leadership changes, PS plus increases, multiple game cancellations and delays, total flops like concord. Slowest release of first party games of any generation and they just shut down PS stars I guess because it was costing to much.
Yet they announce record profits…..the greed here is insane, MS and Nintendo too. All of them milking gamers and we just keep lapping it up like a blood hound for a meal.
Them tariffs are really hitting them hard I see.

Deathdeliverer1h ago

Well a part of running a business is a tight grip on that P&L sheet. In project management. It’s a known fact that the farther into a project you go, the more costly the corrections. Having something reach the definition of done, the end of the road, and it’s hated is a monumental loss of money. As games are usually made iteratively it’s like how was this not caught and course corrected several times before this point. Sony is definitely known as trusting and allows teams to make the games they want to make. They “trust the process”. The caveat to that big budget and freedom is if it bombs, especially if it’s your first game, you’re outta there. They have shareholders/stakeholders to keep happy. Where as normally a done game like Concord would give ROI as it was out in the wild. The cost of the project is recouped and turned into profit or delivered whatever value they wanted. If the game is now NOT coming out, how do they get that money back and stay profitable? By not paying wages for that team over a course of time that would have still been on payroll working on the next potential bomb, DLC for a dead game, and essentially costing more money.
It sadly isn’t greed, it’s business. They release these great profits because 1) it’s enticing for more stakeholders to invest, and 2) Despite failures they are still balancing the books and turning record setting profits.
How many live service games died at various stages of development? They are still this profitable? Imagine if the games came out and were hits to add onto the profits?

Vithar1h ago

where are the "Sony is in trouble" sayers? LOL

Chevalier1h ago

They're talking about Microsoft quarterly profits like any true gamer would be doing.

Probably best just cancel it. The game has flop written all over it.

-Foxtrot1d 19h ago

Yeah, you can delay it as much as you want but you ain’t gonna wash that stink off.

Killer2020UK1d 18h ago

It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.

RaidenBlack1d 16h ago

If you really gotta play ... play the better extraction shooter this year : ARC Raiders

ZeekQuattro1d 19h ago

Delaying the inevitable. Bungie hoping the negative publicity will blow over. 🙄

darthv721d 19h ago

They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.

ZeekQuattro1d 15h ago

I anxiously wait for that and a Marathon Secret Level episode.

GamingManiac1d 11h ago

$10 says it'll have the stolen artwork on it lolol

dveio1d 19h ago

If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.

So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.

Tacoboto1d 18h ago

"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"

They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...

RaidenBlack1d 15h ago

and N4G was littered with comments like : Marathon looks really good, maybe you're a hater and the likes blah blah ... especially under articles which compared it with Arc Raiders ....
