More like 12.0X vs 12.X 👀

Pure speculation on my part.

we pretty much know that the Series X is not exactly 12.00TF, the options are:
60CU - 1.6GHZ - 12.28TF
56CU - 1.7GHZ - 12.18TF ⬅ most likely one
52CU - 1.8GHZ - 11.98TF

or they go with a more uneven clock speed to exactly hit 12TF but why would they do that? there's no real reason to it other than aesthetics

I live in NY. I will go to my local GameStop in a few since I have to pick my son up at school and see what they say.

Also, while it's a bit off-topic definitely make sure your store isn't closing. I haven't gone to my local one yet. Apparently they're closing on March 31st., but haven't called me officially yet to let me know about my existing pre-orders. Come to find out, anything existing by way of pre-orders will be moved to the next closest location. There's another one west of me which is closer, but not for where this closing gamestop is.

So yea....could be an absolute clusterfuck if they take next-gen pre-orders and suddenly decide to close the store. I think it's safe to say if they accept such pre-orders, they'll remain in business until at least the end of the year. Who knows though (I live in NY too).

They could go with 52 CUs and get the best result with clocks x wattage they can. Simple as that.

Fuck Gamestop, worse place to buy videogames. Opening games and selling it as new. Never any deals on new games.

It's true Osiris Black has send his own PS5 photos to mods here? If so then I guess he is a real deal and his 13TF prediction will end up correct.

But I just cant understand how sony could do it? I will probably still buy XSX just to play xbox one games in much better quality, but most people will probably not want to buy MS console if PS5 will run even multiplatform games better. Also 13TF suggest me really expensive console, so what casuals will say to lets say 599$ price point?

Well, I think if Sony was gonna drop a short-fuse bomb for tomorrow, it would have already happened.

Demo for FFVIIR, DS for PC...well, that's it so far..

Maybe they'll announce late in the day for a Thursday or Friday SoP. I don't see any reason they go toe-to-toe against Super Tuesday.
Sony is a Japanese company with worldwide branches, why would they care about political events on a single country?

In regards to Covid-19, I remember back when PS2 launched they had a shortage of units, something like 500K units in the US instead of the 1 million they had planned. If you didn't have a confirmed preorder or didn't wait outside all night, they were very difficult to get. I worked at Toys R Us at the time and we did $5-down preorders on like 14 units we had. I ended up with 2. :messenger_grinning_sweat: My bro and I picked it up at 5:30am, got blazed, and went to eat at IHOP. I was so nervous that it would be stolen that I ate with it in a chair next to me. I only relay that to say, it might not be easy to do preorder, especially if you're competing against employees and their friends. Might have to camp out. Regardless, Sony should say something if there's shortages like they did in 2000.

these could easily be screen space reflections... at that angle you wouldn't see a difference!
RAY TRACING UN-CONFIRMED!
Yeah I agree, and you could argue that the shadows also aren't ray-traced, they aren't really sharp when they are close to contact as they should. 😂😂

I'll be honest, my experiences have been super fine for the most part. Walk in, walk out within 5 minutes each time. But obviously can't speak for the other locations.

I'm going to help dig yourself out of this hole, remember when someone (I have no idea who) said they heard the machines were 11.6 and 12.4 sometime last year? That number was SPOT ON at that time with PSV having a slight lead but also having heat and sound issues. (Heat and sound are no longer issues) MS announces 12 TF hey look a .4 increase not bad at all they made it. BOTH are > 10 (said this last year) with PSV still having a slight advantage. (Said this last year also.) Both were aiming for a very high number (13) and from what I can gather one of them may have actually hit that number. (Its not MS) Either way BOTH consoles are stupidly powerful and still very close. 12 vs 12.4 or 13.2 (Within 1TF of the numbers with a . up in both cases not down) isn't bad at all.

This last part is completely my opinion
I think the main reason we arent hearing about Lockheart is because MS KNOW Sony is going all in for a premium console. Their is no PSV is the mid range system rhetoric to play at launching both simultaneously would cannibalize their XseX sales.

Thank you

Mine are fine.

I don’t go there anymore but when you’re only there to take advantage of system trade in promotions, it’s not so bad.

I think they are the only place left that takes them in.... maybe Best Buy still does.

on the other hand, trying to sell shit on Craigslist or Kijiji is a pain in the ass. You’ll eventually sell it but at a nickel dimed price two weeks later.

but back when I’d go there more and buy some used games or those trade2 or 3 get a new game, the upsells and listening to all the nerds talking to each other was a pain.

I like how your trying to buy your game (should be a quick transaction), but when you got random nerds talking to the clerk and the clerk being frazzled and suddenly ignore you while he does geek talk with them is dumb and a time waster.

chat after I’ve paid and left

As much as I would like to get PS5 day one, I must refrain because I'll probably get it from gray market, so no warranty. Better be sure about defect rate.
Also because it could not be necessarily the console the real problem, my d1 PS4 is fine but the controller... oh boi that wasn't fine at all.
I hope they don't throw too much shit in the new one and just get the job done with raw quality, things need to work first.

well yeah but again, that would be purely aesthetic and would not really be of any real world importance lol
or they go with a more uneven clock speed to exactly hit 12TF but why would they do that?
Yeah, they went with uneven clock speeds on all their current Xboxes:

Xbox One - 853 MHz
Xbox One S - 914 MHz
Xbox One X - 1172 MHz

I took inspiration from them and clocked my GTX 970 1503 MHz for exactly 5.00 TF lol.

EDIT: sorry for this new post and editing my earlier one.

if this is the case MS might try to sell xbsex at £50 below ps5

Yeah, I would chat about stuff in there, but there was never usually a line during the times I've been there, with the exception of a 9pm release.
