There is another 1 GB of "flexible memory" that can be used to boost games when not in use by the OS

 

oh dear, looks like X1 now has the RAM amount advantage


I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.

We foot will rebel one day.

"A new rumor suggests" opening line of the article. Take this with a grain of salt. I don't trust anything if it doesn't come from someone who DEFINATELY know what they are talking about. If this is true, then PS4 has a rediculous operating system.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

Its from Digital Foundry, all I know about them is that they do framerate and benchmarks tests and comparisons

Don't forget theres the background processors, video compression units, automatic game recording, etc. Its doing a lot so I wouldn't be surprised.

Actually, the opposite. People were stupid enough to think 7 gigs was for games when as mentioned above you have heavy multi-tasks operations going on like desktop computers have.

I'm assuming its fake.

I was busy attempting to digest Amdahl's Law to reply to your other post in a fashion worthy of your time, but this representation of 'moving goal posts' has clearly shown us what their intentions are for 1080p on next gen (supposing this is true). 

 

It makes sense to B-school folks, as the mass market will probably want what they will be doing with this withheld ram over what people like us will want them doing on screen. I still cannot get anyone I know to 'spot the jaggy' with AA enabled or disabled. Take away their cross game chat, and you have have a deal breaker.

Everyone knows Digital Foundry and their dumb followers are nothing but butthurt Microsoft fanboys.

 

Look at the nonsense they wrote about Wii U's CPU and GPU. Believe DF and you may aswel listen to a tramps end of the world date.

Its sad we have come to this point in gaming. 5.5GB isn't enough for developers to make an awesome game then they should find another day job. Wii U has 1(maybe in future 1.5) GB for games and look at titles like X and its massive open world. Publishers, developers, and gamers alike need to stop complaing and wanting to try and feed their desire for themost photorealistic games and enjoy what they have and make amazing games from that. Its just sad where we are at.

Considering the title says "REPORT" instead of "RUMOR From Digital Foundry: Then yeah, you very much made it sound confirmed.

 

Changing the thread title to reflect facts.

The post above was certified to be simply smashing by the Wii U Forum Staff.

Technically, rumor and report are similar, plus I was gonna change it to confirmed or false or whatever when the facts are set straight
