I'm literally dancing here because of the Kleegamefan christmas dump of awesomeness.
My decades long love for all things Gamefan has been repaid in full.

that is really per game, some games seem to perform pretty much the same in 1440p between both cards, if not ahead of the 2080 going by these results. its just many games are better optimized for NVidia.I think you need more than 12 Navi Tflops for 2080 performance. A 2100mhz 5700XT is still 10% below a 2080 and that's close to 11 Tflops.
They also overclocked the memory by 10%. It might still be bandwidth limited, not sure how much bandwidth Navi needs.Yes, it's going to be close. But that 5700XT is limited by its ram bandwidth. I expect more bandwidth for both consoles and I hope for about 11.3 tfops for both.
I don't know if it's the 2080FE. With GPU boost 3 I don't think it matters much because any decent AIB card boosts to the same or higher clocks as the FE anyway.that is really per game, some games seem to perform pretty much the same in 1440p between both cards, if not ahead of the 2080 going by these results. its just many games are better optimized for NVidia.
is this comparison between the normal 2080 or the 2080FE?
i dont think we will have a lot of RAM, i think that will be the compromise we will see, i expect 16GB GDDR6 and thats it, sony (based on flute) going with 8 (256bit) 2GB chips of 18gbps = 576GB/s bandwidth and MS (based on scarlett video) using 10 14gbps chips, 6 chips being 2GB, 4 chips being 1GB (320bit) = 560GB/s bandwidth.Zen2, 1080Ti-grade graphics, fast SSD and lots of RAM will enable devs to create really impressive games.
The only true roadblock will be crossgen games, they will limit the scope of ambitious games. We'll see if MS will force their crossgen approach for long, but for Sony I think they will go full force with nextgen-only titles from the start.
lol.Makes sense since they are both using Azure. Having Xbox servers that can be used for anything, then PS5 only for PS5 games, doesn't, make them compatible with each other, and the PS5 servers are basically Xbox servers, used for anything.

It's obvious why he's clinging to Matt's words, but why do you have a problem with that? You're pretty often in here looking to pick a fight. Get a life dude.
anexanhume has an avatar bet? With whom?I think anexanhume will win his avatar bet, the two consoles will probably be superior to 10 Tflops. My only concern is the PS5 level noise, out of this I hope Sony will have more titles for the first two years...
If the power difference is going to be negligible then it'll come down to any secret sauces either company can put into their boxes to get people talking. Yeah, there's the games and services too, but just talking about the boxes here.
No, I have an avatar bet with Xeontech and AegonSnake. Thus I asked because I would win all my bets if that info would be true.

Arent sony usually announcing PSX pretty randomly?With gamescom 2019 being just a few days away (20-24 August), we will soon have more information (ticket details) on Xbox X019 in November. There's also the Inside Xbox on August 19, at 5 p.m. CEST / 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT. And also the Opening Night presentation which may or may not feature something from Sony (PlayStation Experience 2019 announcement?).
Sony's FY2019 Q2 Earnings Announcement isn't until October 30 and with X019 being in November announcing PlayStation Experience in conjunction with the earnings release may provide too little time for the message to really reach a broader audience, at least if PlayStation Experience is also targeted for November.
I countered another poster's arguments as overly pessimistic and said I'd be willing to do an account ban if neither console reached 10TF. That poster never accepted (one other poster mockingly said I could just request a ban now without the showmanship). Once the mods announced they didn't endorse ban bets, I asked what my avatar should be in the event neither hits 10TF.
So, the new information we got from Klee is...
-Sony delaying the PS5's release from 2019 to 2020 back in 2017 due to BC issues
-The TF counts for both Sony and MS's machine are above 9.2
-The delta between the PS5 and Scarlett is minuscule, as most reasonable people should have expected
Am I missing anything?
I mean, with this kind of attitude, if I were an insider, I wouldn't tell you jack shit eitherI get that people are thirsty for new info, but man, this whole "insider" stuff is kind of ridiculous. Most of the time they don't tell us anything special and we either get:
1.) Extremely safe predictions ("Next-gen will be more than 9TF", "PS5 ray-tracing will be hardware", "PS4 BC is enhanced")
2.) Meaningless / vague info ("I saw a next-gen game and your eyes will melt!")
3.) Info that can't possibly be verified ("Sony delayed PS5 because of BC")
4.) Wrong info ("Things change!")
5.) Excuses when asked for specifics ("Can't tell more, need to protect sources", "I need to go", "NDA!")
Oh and of course this:
6.) Gets offended by critical questions
Why don't we ever hear any big, concrete info from those "insiders" like the exact memory amount, TF number and stuff like that (It's already out there)? Because they don't know, and it could easily be verified at some point. I honestly don't believe any of those insiders. Imo they mostly don't know anything and just enjoy the attention they get here.
And there is a reason why (good) journalists don't print this shit. Imo the only good info we will get is either from them or from official sources. I know the wait sucks, but that's how it is.
PS: Counting the seconds until someone posts "You are scaring the insiders off!! Dear @insider, I really want to apologize! We still love you!" - lol.

Same. If you have a sense of entitlement with regards to what other people do with their leisure time, a little self-examination is important.I mean, with this kind of attitude, if I were an insider, I wouldn't tell you jack shit either
It tickles me that we STILL don't have any meaningful new info.
Same. If you have a sense of entitlement with regards to what other people do with their leisure time, a little self-examination is important.
If the cycle and din without substantive updates is taxing, I'd advise just leaving the thread, if only for a few days. Any major news will break through and grab your attention via other means.
No need to be rude. We're all having fun here parsing out what we can regarding next-gen stuff.
I mean, with this kind of attitude, if I were an insider, I wouldn't tell you jack shit either
You mean the attitude of not blindly believing stuff from people I don't know?
Ha, if only. No, the attitude of being a jackass to someone who's kind enough to share info and doesn't owe you anything. You're free to have a fair share of skepticism, but acting like a dick about it frankly shows your immaturityYou mean the attitude of not blindly believing stuff from people I don't know?
I'd still rather he will go through a verification, just to have it more official with no reason to doubt what they say and to avoid further accusations from users.Kleegamefan's an ex-editor for a major videogame publication.
He has waaaaay more credibility that pastebin #929129829292, or "random reddit poster #1891818".
If you don't know who he is, read his posts and educate yourself.
Unlike other "so-called" insiders on Era, Kleegamefan has been very transparent about who he is. He's precisely the kind of person divulging information we should be putting a little more trust in.
I am not on the Kleegamefan hype train, so for me he needs not be verified. Just as always call me a Debby Downer ;)I'd still rather he will go through a verification, just to have it more official with no reason to doubt what they say and to avoid further accusations from users.
We are pulling hairs at this point. It's virtually a 2080.I think you need more than 12 Navi Tflops for 2080 performance. A 2100mhz 5700XT is still 10% below a 2080 and that's close to 11 Tflops.
They don't tell us anything specific, but they do help us set boundaries and not engage in needless speculation. Like thanks to insiders we know they will have hardware RT. We know they will be above 9.2TF.I get that people are thirsty for new info, but man, this whole "insider" stuff is kind of ridiculous. Most of the time they don't tell us anything special and we either get:

Not really, we just know its above 9.2 and its NOT 10.2. It could be under 10.2, no less than 9.2 or above 10.2.So now we in the ~11TF range. Imagine having the baseline for next gen being a 10-11TF console. It was a 1.31TF console for this gen and we got some pretty great stuff.
I don't think that's necessary. He's made it clear that people can believe him or not. If people choose not to, then they should just say they don't. N need to accuse or attack him for saying anything.I'd still rather he will go through a verification, just to have it more official with no reason to doubt what they say and to avoid further accusations from users.
I don't know about this but think of a third party developer. Imagine finding out that the hardware of both machines is extremely similar so you can actually get your heads down and code to the metal - doing effectively what a first party studio does.Makes sense since they are both using Azure. Having Xbox servers that can be used for anything, then PS5 only for PS5 games, doesn't, make them compatible with each other, and the PS5 servers are basically Xbox servers, used for anything.
So now we in the ~11TF range. Imagine having the baseline for next gen being a 10-11TF console. It was a 1.31TF console for this gen and we got some pretty great stuff.
why do you need verification on a speculation thread? You just apply whatever filter you deem fit to their comments. Personally he has history and I'm familiar with his posts for years so what he says has some weight to me personally.
That's not what I meant. I appreciate any amount of info anyone can manage to get us here. They're helpful setting some parameters for speculation.I don't have any reason to believe that Klee wasn't telling the truth about what he had heard from a developer friend back in June E3 time frame as he stated, but all that we really got was some possible insight into the journey of things along the way and the not the ultimate destination/outcome. A logical view of things though is that neither will have a significant raw power advantage over the other if releasing in 2020 at the same price point, but that doesn't tell the final story on real world performance in games either.
Anyone doubting Kleegamefan should knock it off. He predates RoboPlato and I - and we've been around the old forum since 2007. He's got quite a history of existing.
Most importantly he presented information in a non biased, succinct, and informative way. He genuinely thinks both machines will be fire. That's good enough for me.
But considering that devkits have been supposedly out in the wild for months now, it's genuinely shocking there has been no articles on leaked specs verified by any journalist.
