Difference?

Okay i am going to get a X1650pro AGP graphics card next week with 256mb memory. I just wanted to know, how would this card compare to the Xbox 360 graphics??

Worse, although its hard to compare the architechture of the 360 and its pc counterparts its basically a baby R500/R600 crossbreed and is more equivalent to the power of an X1900.

more equivalent to the power of an X1800.

lol

Can't really call it equivalent, I doubt a X1800 could run Gears Of War at the same detail the 360 does.

Considering it's only 720p, low resolution textures, low or no levels of AA and no AF I disagree.

Same can be said for the vast majority of Xbox 360 games.

You make it sound far worse than what it actually is, it's easily up there with the top PC games even today. (Excluding ones that aren't out)

No I don't, I simply explain it as it is. In fact, despite the lack of actual eye candy I think that the current generation of console games really look very nice. It's just that from a technical point of view console games are unimpressive.

It's all down to optimisation, low quality displays and graphical "tricks" for console games that's all.

Get Gears Of War on the PC, add higher resolutions and higher levels of AA/AF and higher quality textures, then it will stress an X1800 while looking a lot better than its Xbox 360 version. Sorry but it's just facts.

Can't see that happening, maybe UT3 will be a good way to see how the 360 measures up to the X1800 then.
