Ps3 is faster than any pc...

[Tefal]

well we know that a ps3 uses the 7800GTX chip...any PC with a modern dual/quad core CPU and 4GB ram with a 9800 or newer is always going to beat the PS3...

force the ps3 to do 720p in the tougher games, then we shall see who laughs

i own a PS3 and a Quad core PC with 8800GT btw so im hardly a fanboy either way.

although the cell has the potential (i say potential as it's going to take some time for anyone to write the code to exploit it)for very good physics and AI calculating poer, something which the pc cpu is not good at.

however steps are being taken to use GPU's for these purposes as they as well are excellent at the task.


Pc's will always win out through customizability and power.

however console will always win at performance per £ due to the shear amount of optimization that goes into their games, something that cannot happen on the pc ironically due to their asset of being customizable

There was a demo for Cell back in 2005 where it decoded 48-streams of SDTV at once.

I believe there was also a similar event where it decoded 16-streams of full quality HDTV at once also.

I can't think of a desktop CPU which could achieve the same feat, though I am entirely open to being proved wrong.

that's because it is nothing like a desktop cpu.

It is more like a hybrid GPU/CPU type chip.

This thread has gone a little off topic go back to kicking the consoles please

This... My pc is used mainly for music, internet and movies. I do a bit of photo editing, gaming and encoding too.

PC wins for overall as it can do everything

The only thing I must say that console has the edge in and will always have, is the fact every game made for it works out of the box to the best of its ability. Whereas on a PC, trying to run that game requires certain spec of hardware and to run it smooth may also require an upgrade which can cost as much as a Console. As a PC gamer that annoys me very much.

lol at the hardcore pc fanboys.

Consoles can be seen as "trouble free gaming" PCs often have very biased games such as the onces that have physX and don't like ATI much, which is unfair.

for sheer gaming power, and compatibility(to upgrade etc) PC will win

 

[CrispyOtter]

Wow... these four random guys must be right... time to bin my rig and go buy a wii

No one should feel the need to defend the PC as a gaming platform. It's bullet proof. People were talking about this 10 yrs ago (including me, I was wrong ). Nothings changed. PC has outlasted all other platforms and always will. Reason being, is that it's not really a fixed platform per say, more a collection of hardware and an OS - it can evolve.

mine has a shift key

Well without a GFX card then yes it would be more powerful

Not to mention it CPU would out perform your i7 at a program like folding at home where it's chip is more suited to the work.

of course you're would out perform it at other apps.

Hehe well yeah. But with a graphics card, the PC will overtake it.

Try dropping it, the PC is faster then.

Someone doesn't understand physics

pfft buy a mac! we all know
mac > ps3 > pc

I'm in to two types of gaming - fun and 'serious'.

I have a Wii and a high (ish) end PC and no PS3/360 for those reasons. Can't see the point when I'm playing at 1080p with AA and the PS3 sometime has to scale up just to hit 720p.

I sit about 8ft from a 46" TV and I've seen a 360 plugged into it... didn't look great The consoles have their place but if you've got the money and technical interest the PC games are untouchable

Come on you PC fanboys tell the truth for a change...

You all know that the PS3 can run games at twice the speed of what a 5970 can and you just won't accept it......




(P.S..........also everyone knows that a xbox360 can run games three times faster then a 5970 can)

Indeed. Better put off spending my £1,300 soon to instead buy a Xbox 360.
