So, months ago I had the theory that the then unnamed 5000 series would probably be pretty close to what ends up in both next gen consoles but I'd like to revise that to say .... it'll be the 6000 series instead. I feel we will see a 6700xt or 6700X-RT type card that uses the same type of chips (as a 5000 series) but just a tiny bit more efficient and coupled with some ray tracing hardware. I don't expect insane TF levels or even a giant chip for the same reasons as anyone else (heat dissipation and power usage mostly ) but it really feels like both new consoles are still over a year out at this point, why would they use 20 month old tech when they could get revised 7 month old tech made the most cutting edge ... if the option exists ?
Also , while I was really hoping next gen would finally return is to 60fps gaming .... based on the benchmarks from RDR2 PC I fear we're still going to be stuck at 30fps for a LOT of software. That game needs a 2070 super just to hit 60fps .... at 1080p. It's not even a next gen game yet either , just a souped Up PS4 title , so where does that leave actual ground up next gen titles ?
