Next Gen Consoles targeting more than 10.7 Tflops?

Interesting times. I'd like to know more about Google's server based gaming (or I suppose cloud-based is the term these days).

Is tflop performance completely independent of internet performance? or is some sort of throttle necessary to compensate for any lag? If so, claims of performance could be similar to service providers claims of performance and we'll have 'up to' inserted in small print at the bottom of the adverts.

Tflops is a measurement of the GPU power but it doesn't always translate directly to more FPS. There's other factors with architecture. 1 Tflop = 1 trillian floating-point operations per second. For example the Radeon VII has 13.8 TFLOPS and gets beat by the 1080TI for a lot of games in FPS. Drivers and API matter as well.

The Google Server spec for Stadia is 10.7 Tflops of power so it's close to a 1080TI which is 11.3 but since it's an AMD card on the server it's probably more like a 1080 in gaming performance. 

If you play a game on it, it can provide that kind of graphical fidelity. That's not accounting for the lag, Google hopes you forget about input lag.

yeah, I guess thinking about it, graphical power doesn't impact on lag unless it's being used to deliver a higher frame rate or higher resolution... then that in turn could be an issue for slower or laggy connections.

So, has 4k gaming been touted for Google Stadia? I'm guessing 30fps? or 25 for UK?

I updated my post to be more correct, I gave a quick explanation and it wasn't correct enough.

I would imagine 4k gaming is the goal with specs like that. 

I just found this -

Its very much doable even current  NVIDIA 1660ti has crossed it, its doing 11Tflops

Since its just $280 Card...cranking it in console no big deal at $450/500 release cost. 

ah there are those words.... up to ;)

Actually if they manage 4k 60fps on a 30Mbps connection, that's ok for a lot of people (depending on what their definition of no, or acceptable lag is).

I can imagine a few scenarios where dad starts watching Netflix and little Timmy gets fragged cos of an fps wobble.

Every1 need their own DSL lines then in each household...meh its pocket killing.

I couldn’t care less about Google or their crap but it’s good to hear some info about the new Xbox.

Did you put your hands on XB ONE X ( Now cheap as $382) ?

is it satisfying? Why Ms is not bringing VR to One X is elephant in the room question, when they already have WMR thing. Which in my opinion is way better to PSVR in tracking as on today.

Actually yes I do have a Xbox One X. Best console out there. Why they abandoned the Oculus project on it is beyond me as it is more than capable of doing so. Probably saving it as a selling point to the next Xbox.
