Nice ! Add 100$ more , i could buy an i5 laptop with a fast dedicated GPU
Well , if i got a discount , i could buy the same laptop for only 500$
To be fair its GPU performance will likely be similar to a 7800 series desktop graphics card or 7900 series mobile GPU. You would need a top of the line laptop (well over $1,000) to produce comparable performance. Desktops are another story though.

You must be kidding me
Xbox One GPU performance would be around AMD 7790 (close)
GT 750M : 80GB/sec memory bandwidth (also has GPU boost 2.0 -> higher memory bandwidth than the default 80GB/sec) , GDDR5 memory . GT 750M > GTX 660M , the GT 750M will shit on it
Edit : Oops, Just check on benchmark . GTX 670M can't beat 7790 . What the heck !

I'm accounting for the fact that game devs have access to a more optimal lower level API. This usually results in a 25-50% speedup at the minimum.
What about the ps4 then? According to
this article, it is 50% more powerful. I doubt 50 percent, but it looks like the PS4 will be more powerful by a pretty good margin.
GPU specs are similar to a 7850. Which means actual performance will be around a 7950. People grossly underestimate how much horsepower their PCs will need for next generation games. We already know for example that the next killzone game runs at 1080p 30 fps and BF4 will run at 720p 60fps on the ps4. This means you're going to need roughly twice that horsepower to run them on a PC with the same settings at 1080p 60 fps. The equivalent of dual 7950s is crossfire with perfect scaling. And yes I realize that killzone is never going to come to the PC I'm just using it as an example here since the resolution and framerate have already been confirmed.
So imagine how demanding things will get once devs start giving the PC versions higher settings. And how demanding a game that runs at 720p and 30fps on the consoles will be to run on a PC at 1080p 60 fps. And even worse. Think about what will happen when 120Hz and 4k resolutions become standard on PCs!
People who think that they won't need to upgrade their graphics card this generation because the next gen. consoles are "weak" are delusional.
Sorry about the rant it's just that I've been seeing this mentality a lot lately and it's bs.
Oh. So the pc I just built, although it's fine cpu wise... I'l have to buy a new gpu to keep up basically.
Eventually. I would advise waiting a bit before you buy a high end card.
Ok, thanks. I'l probably go with a gtx 770 or 780 for next springs upgrade, and a better psu.
At least wait for the 800 series. Maxwell is going to be a big jump. And at that point it will be just a few months away.
