Is there a proper, side by side, pc versus console comparison.

Hello, as per title, is there a site that compares games games on the 360 and ps3 with the pc version at the same res, eg. 1920x1080 or 1280x720 ?

I've got this mate and no matter what game I show him ( even with 16x AA and 16X AF) on my 1280x1024, he claims his 360's games look better on his normal non hd tv...

Gears of war looks FAR nicer to him on the 360 :confused:

. ( maxed on my pc 1280x1024)
Tdu looks a bit better on the console according to him. ( 1280x1024 maxed + 4x AA and HDR and 8x AF on my pc)
Grid doesn't look better on pc according to him.

Another mate claims Assasins creed on his hd ready (720p) tv looks better than on my pc @ 1280x1024, dx10, maxed, with 8x AA and 16X af :confused:

.

So does any site have proper side by side ''fair'' ( same res) pictures that compare ( up to date g80/g92 or ati equiv gaming) pc's to the outdated consoles with their outdated 7900's and x1800xt's ?

does it matter? they're obviously wrong. If they don't see it when looking at both games running they won't see it from comparison shots.

They're just saying stuff though because they are fanboi's and the placebo effect in their mind makes it look worse on the pc ( them being used to a gf 7300le and gf 6600 respectively).

I want to show them pics, instead of their imaginations of pc versus console, not some image they have in their mind to my pc...

isn't there a bug and aa doesn't work on assassins creed pc though?

Can't see any jaggies using the ingame max AA, which prolly is 8x, if not then it's 4x but I doubt it's less.
AF is forced in NV panel.

Instead of a direct comparison just show them Crysis.

He played Crysis with all on high in xp...
He said it was nice but thought other games on console looked better :confused:

Or he's the biggest console fanboy ever.

Probably, he absolutely loves his 360.

No doubt he'll say crysis warhead will look just as well on his 360 as on pc in the future

Yeah most of my ps3 mates first go on about ps3 looking nicer than on pc but they shut up when I tell them about a Geforce 8800GTS.
The 360 mates seem to go on saying blahblah '' but the game is made for hundreds of configs and the 360 version is perfectly optimized for the 360 so it looks better naturally ''

meh thats more a case of me being up since 7 am because I've got some crappy blinds on my window till my curtains come so it's bright in the morning. Can't sleep

np, I would do the same if I didn't have ie7pro's spell checker or use firefox's spell check

, I used to write terribly but since ie7pro's office style spell checker underlines everything I mistype in red I barely type any mistakes these days

.

As to not being able to sleep, just do the basic stuff:

Drink enough before sleeping so you don't awake due to thirst.
Go to the toilet before going to sleep.
Tell your parents/anyone else living with you to shut it tomorrow.
And turn your head towards a wall next to your bed for extra darkness.

I did all that and it made me sleep from 11.30 pm to 4.30 pm last night ( so 16 hours :eek:

).

If there's no reason to get up/alarm set, I always stay in bed untill I'm either: Too thirsty to stay in, too hungry to stay in, have to go to the toilet, or some loud noise from anywhere, usually my parents arguing. I love staying in bed

, but I hate going to bed
