Bullshit. They are just trying to raise hype. Seeing that 1070 costs like 500€ in my country and probably around the same in US, no way it will reach that in console.

Not at all.

The article only compares it to how Forza runs on a 1070. It's not really a genuine comparison.

Well, no shit, but it still doesn't mean they get those for free either.

I guess its possible then, but i still doubt it. 1060 is more believable.

a 1070 in isolation runs at approximately 6 teraflops which are the specs of the XB1 (1070 actually runs a little bit more, but not much more)

And I hate driving games as benchmarks because they're shitty benchmarks. they're by far the least graphically demanding type of game to make (not counting intentionally graphically-lite games) so driving games always look way more realistic than other titles that are released around the same time.

I'm not saying it's not impressive but Eurogamer is just randomly comparing it to a completely different Forza game that's on PC. Something like Gears 4 is probably a better comparison to make since that game has a really good PC port and it's the exact same game.

By XB1 you mean the Scorpio right? 6 teraflops is for the entire Scorpio system as far as I know.

Why is this?


A car's skeletal structure generally doesn't bend or deform--because if it does the car is no longer driveable. Unrealistic car accidents have been a long time criticism of racing games, and Next Car Game is effectively a tech demo on how to actually create realistic collision physics, and people have all kinds of crazy fun wrecking cars in the game to see what happens.

So with keeping in mind a very limited range of skeletal motion, and the fact that the environment itself has only minimal levels of interactivity, more time can be spent tricking out the textures and materials of the car and the road, or weather / lightning effects, because for the most part very little is being honestly animated in the same way that a character would be animated as he jumps or crouches or holds different weapons.

Maybe you remember a few years back some guys promised this amazing tech engine with hyper photorealistic graphics at no processor cost that never went anywhere? well guess why that was? if you rewatch the videos, you'll see that nothing is animated at all. It's just a camera checking static things out from different angles.

the engine was real, but there was no way to make a serious game out of it.

Because of the controlled environments.
It's very easy to optimize for.
However, that can't really be said for open world driving games.

Ya, I'm not sure. I've been somewhat out of the loop this gen.
Though I am downloading Apex right now. So I'll check that out if it lets me play it.
((I don't feel like making some account for it.))

Having said that, I'm not sure how people can be unsatisfied or really worry about the graphics of today.

Ummn, I'm not really arguing anything. TBH, I was thinking back to the Dreamcast days, and why its racing library is so good. As of this moment I am a PC gamer, as the consoles this gen don't do much for me.

The most popular graphics card on Steam for dedicated gamers (so not including an intel integrated card) is apparently the GTX 970. So yeah most are probably playing on high/ultra.

I'm just going to guess and go out on a limb here and say the average PC gamer is playing an MMO or a MOBA, OR CS:GO/TF2/Overwatch all with very low requirements and probably doesn't need an insanely powerful card and they likely don't play much else.

https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/04/valves-steam-survey-windows-10-is-popular-vr-is-not/
Whether it's a system playing predominately DirectX 10, 11 or 12 games, the end result is the same: NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 970 is the most popular GPU among enthusiast gamers. It's not the most common GPU across the whole platform - that's the HD 4000, the integrated GPU that shipped with Intel's Ivy Bridge CPUs around 2012 and early 2013. But for gamers who want something a bit more, the GTX 970 is the way to go. It's the top GPU amongst DX10, DX11 and DX12 systems, with the affordable GTX 960 runner up for older PCs.

For PCs on Windows 10 playing DX12 games, the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 have become the second and third most popular GPUs. The results are a good snapshot of what PCs use the further you go down the list: there are more people, for instance, running the mobile variant of the GTX 960 than the high-end GTX 1080. The GTX 970 is also the most popular GPU among Linux users, beating out the HD 4000 and HD 4400.

As for AMD's Polaris GPUs? The RX 480 is only used by 0.70% of respondents on Windows 10 PCs, and 0.81% of respondents on all variants on Windows. The real interesting part here is where the HD 7700, HD 7900 and HD 8800 GPUs, cards that are five and four years old respectively, was more commonplace in the survey than last year's RX 480. For PC gamers, that's a long time between upgrades.
