This is why my PC is better than xbone and ps4.
This is what I have : AMD FX 8350 4.0 eight core
xbone/ps4 - eight core 1.0
Me video - 770 GTX 2gb DDR5
xbone - 560 GTX 2gb DDR3
ps4 - 660GTX 2gb DDR5
me RAM - 8 gigs super overclocked at 1866mhz
xbone/ps4 - 8 gigs standard 1333mhz
Me hdd - 1 terabyte
xbone/ps4 - 500gigs
motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Number of Memory Slots: 4

The cpu is unlocked turbo boost to 4.5 and the 770 is a EVGA super over clocked.
I took it from both wikapedia sites for PS4 and XBONE
You need to upgrade soon. The consoles have integrated flux capacitors and high end super conducting fibre data links. Your computer doesn't.

I was just asking cuz people were saying that my rig is WORSE than the next gen consoles.
Only 1 person said it was better.
Okay whatever, I'm wrong about the specs, who cares. My question is , am I doing better than next gen consoles or do I need to upgrade?
People have been telling me my rig is worse than the next gen consoles.
They upgraded to fibre data links? OMG

Oh its just a cable. For faster data travel.
I thought it was some supercomputers dream.
Seems from the artical, nobody hardly uses them anymore and the next, "NEW" ones arent coming till 2015.
Your looking at it the wrong way.
At day 1 those console specs are locked. Computers in general will get better and better.
If anything consoles will need to be upgraded to be on par with the latest computer graphics.

I would upgrade ASAP. Today if possible.
Otherwise you run the risk of being " behind" the curve on console players. And all those games that are console / PC cross platform you will be far far behind.
As a PC gamer we all know how important it is to be "equal" or superior to our lowly console playing brethren. Cant let those low brows get ahead and make the master race look bad.
So get on the ball, hop to it, order a new PC TODAY. We after all cant have console players saying your system isnt up to snuff. Makes us all look bad.
More seriously, the only real performance advantage that consoles have over your computer is shared memory for the CPU and GPU. This allows two things:
1) A game can use massive amounts of video memory. If they want to use 4 GB of video memory for ultra high resolution textures, they can. On your PC, they can't.
2) The CPU and GPU can pass massive amounts of data back and forth. In a typical PC with a discrete GPU, the way that the graphics pipeline has to go is that the CPU does some computations, passes a little bit of data to the GPU, the GPU does some computations, and produces the final image for that frame. Shared memory means that you can have the CPU do some computations, pass a ton of data to the GPU, have the GPU do some computations, pass data back to the CPU, have the CPU do more computations, pass it back to the GPU, and so forth. The most obvious thing that that opens up is far more complex physics computations than can be done in a PC today, but I wouldn't be surprised to see games find creative uses for it in coming years.
But it's important to realize that even if your PC could do those things, the games to take advantage of it mostly aren't there. Making ultra high resolution textures so that the few people with 4 GB of video memory can take advantage of them is a waste on a PC right now because so few people have that much video memory.
The only PCs with shared memory are lower end models running integrated graphics. AMD might well change that with their next major architecture revision (Excavator is going to be a relatively minor revision of Steamroller), but that's about two years away.
Ultimately, you buy a gaming PC for PC games that actually exist. So there's no sense in worrying too much about how the specs compare to consoles unless the disparity is so huge that one side is obviously crippled--such as the PS3 and Xbox 360 are by today's standards.
HA HA HA (sarcasm)
I'm not putting myself above anybody yo'. I have a PS4. It just looks really close to what I have in a PC. See I just got my PC a month ago(my very first) and i'm trying to take my hobby seriously.
AWESOME! Thanks dude!
