Graphics comparison of recently announced PS4 and nVidia's 8800 GPU for PC released in 2007. Either Sony picked up a wrong tech demo or PS4 is really not that powerful. What are your thoughts?

consoles have always been behind, way behind.

Six years old GPU can't render this in-game. It's just a technology demo. I don't think Nvidia 8800 could render this much of details:

 

 

 

New GPUs can do this obviously but 8800 couldn't.

 

In case anyone wondering. These screenshots are from Killzone Shadow, a PS4 game.

The image for PS4 looks alot blurrier then it did on the video. So it looks better then it looks on the image.

Consoles hardware is always behind PC hardware.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I damn near pissed myself when I saw that it said it was running on an 8800 from 2007. Did that come straight out of somebodies ass? Yes, the software that reads the hyper-compressed meshes is compatible with it, but mind you this software won't be out for many more years to come. I didn't hear them say what they were actually running it on. Just as well, that's not a good picture of the tech demo for PS4, nor is the demo super awesome in itself. Look at games like Crysis 3 and Beyond: Two Souls for PS3. They did an outstanding job for a piece of hardware from 06. Also, why the fuck would people take a picture of the frame right after they turned the lighting all the way up? Any good photographer knows that it's never good to have light blasting off of the subject during the shoot. http://assets1.ignim.../frame_0001.jpg

Ah yes, but you see the hardware isn't the only thing that makes the graphics better. Consoles are known to have way faster software, higher quality and ratio of compressed files, and more effective processing paths than PC. Yes, they need to be updated every once in a while. Yes the developers have to be creative with the data processing, but all at the cost of having the same graphics as high end PC's when the console first comes out.
