Title: Playstation 4 - brought to you by BFL Post by: Monster Tent on February 27, 2013, 07:06:09 AM http://www.pcworld.com/article/2029138/playstation-4-vs-pc-graphics-can-sony-even-compete-.html (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2029138/playstation-4-vs-pc-graphics-can-sony-even-compete-.html)
Quote it may very well be the first console announcement in history where the company failed to actually show the console itself. :D On a more serious note, it will have an amd radeon graphics card inside so no doubt someone might hack it to mine an alt coin ?

It has 18 Compute Units. A Radeon HD 7850 has 16 Compute Units, a HD 7870 has 20. So you probably get ~300 Mhash/s (or 0.0413 BTC / day) from a PS4.

Yes, because buying graphics cards built to play games was retarded as well.

Yeah lets pay 3x a PC for mining with a PS4, great logic Title: Re: Playstation 4 - brought to you by BFL Post by: debianlinux on March 01, 2013, 02:55:44 PM Buying a PS4 for mining is pretty much a retard.

Lots of people dropped $300-$500 on a single GPU to mine with. I seriously doubt PS4 will cost $900-$1500, in fact, I expect it will be $300-$500. The logic is a GPU can also game and therefore retains resale value. Guess what, the same logic applies to a PS4.

If you're serious that is :P Title: Re: Playstation 4 - brought to you by BFL Post by: DarkHyudrA on March 01, 2013, 08:43:24 PM Buying a PS4 for mining is pretty much a retard.

What is kind of wrong, I highly doubt that it, a new f*cking console, will cost the same as a 7000 series of ATI and being able to mine at least 90% of the speed.
