Sony PS3 vs. high-end PC graphics cards: Smoothing

Which is better PS3 vs PC vs Xbox360…. Answer is PC for the reason see if i have a core2 quad with nvidia gf100. Will some ps3 or xbox stand against it, absolutely not.

but less and less games are coming out for PC because of the piracy or games for example like MW2, I rather buy it on console because there are loads of hackers and cheaters. That just ruins the game.

i have never had a problem with hacker on any game i have ever played and of course there is piracy but games that run though steam do not usually get pirated and if they do there is no online so there is no point to piracy…

pc rocks!!!

Core i7 X4 3.66 GHZ Processor
Dual SLI Geforce GTX 480
1000 Watt power supply
8 gb Ram
Xfi Sound Card
Tornado Case W/ Side panel window w/ red LED lights

Built this rig over the course of 4 years with my part time job. Now I've got a rig thats 242424224090 times stronger, faster, and better than any Console for years to come. When I say years to come. I mean forever, cause I can just update the hardware when I need to.

nicely put.

Sure you can spend over $5000 odd dollars for that hardware and now you have to spend more for future upgrades compared to a console which hasn't even been pushed to its limits yet and outshines the PC in some games ie. FIFA 10, and other exclusives.

i find this artical slightly innacurate. pc graphics cards can easily outpower a playstation 3

ok people pc kicks ass in all aspects think about it people

ok omagen a pc with an
Intel Core i7 980X

12gb of ram – 2000mhz ddr3

4 ssd's in raid 0

ASUS Ares ATI Radeon 5870 X2 in CrossFireX

EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI Motherboard

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

Ultra X4 1600-Watt Modular Power Supply

and you have a PC that can kick the ps3s and xbox360's ass to the moon and back right people X-D

but that will run u like $10,000 or more ya probably more so ur just better off spending 300 or 400 dollars for a new ps3 or 360 its up to how much ur willing to shell out

$10,000 for that? no….
i got an pretty descent computer for $470
with 2.6ghtz intel core i5 processor with windows 7 and a really good graphics card.
it can play assasains creed 2 and COD: modern warfare 2 on the HIGHEST graphics possible. with no lag at all. i even checked the cpu usage meter while playing both these games and it only showed 68% cpu usage at the highest. and with the pricing?

have a look at this then

pc rocks..nothing like it..
2k10 rocks with core2quad processor
4 gig ram 1gig tornado vcard

this is complete biased bullshit. The xbox 360 gpu is alot more powerful than the ps3's and that has been a known fact for quite some time now. Its the cell processor that is more powerful than the 360's cpu. Ps3 graphics are outdated. Yeah maybe a high end gaming pc what 6 years ago but now anyone who is involved in pc gaming wouldn't even touch the hardware in that piece of shit machine same goes for xbox but xbox has 1 good thing going for it, the games and online.

Pirates have hacked the game to play online freely! But they use alterIWnet for matchmaking so they will not be able to join matches against legit players using the official IWnet matchmaking. And the anti cheat technologies on IWnet is INSANE! It WILL get you banned in the end. I have never seen a cheater on MW2! In fact, ive never seen a hacker on a cheat protected server!

PS3 cell is arguably more powerful than most computers out. Just look at God of war 3, uncharted 2, metal gear solid 4. That's the power of the PS3.

i can see argument for the cell processor but the gpraphics card cant run ut3 at 1080p… fail

GOD 3 MGS 4 Are not realesed on PC

i agree that pc can be better for graphics than the ps3 (and of course the Xfail 360), but that can only happen if you pay a lot for a high-end gaming pc, and keep changing hardware all the time so you can keep playing the latest games which btw are mostly ports from consoles given as left overs to the pc community, it is sad, i used to love pc gaming and still do, but you have to agree that for the graphics and quality and gaming experiences that the ps3 and xbo360 are providing, they are only OVERALL better than the pc, and not when it comes to specific gaming prefrences.

You sir, are an idot. You clearly haven't recently played on MW2 on the PC.

somethings were said good and some weren't.PS3 has a good processor , Xbox a good video card,but the PC has a lot more.For normal people i would say a PC is great,the reason you see the games sometime(rarely) bad on PC is that the games are made with good codecs for PS3,Xbox and than for PC for some more money to be won.Conclusion: get a PC for a 1000$ – 2000$ and you can use it for a lot more than gaming.If you still want gaming than a PS3 is better:you get more exclusive and pay only for games, not like Xbox for live. And Sony cares about money ,so the games will always have the most important thing : a good story.

its know reason to go back and forth, i been gaming on pc for years… i brought a playstation3 and xbox and sold both of them for $200. ps3 and xbox try to keep up with pc thats why they overheat and break down like a ford. it must be kids writing these comments , know adult in thier right mind would say that… console games is better than pc

look guys for people like me, who cannot afford a pc with those i7, gtx580, 24 gigs of ram
blah blah blah
we are limited to ps3
which is about $500 we cannot waste that much money on a high end gaming pc!
which gets outdated in a few months…
i play both pc and ps3…for some games, pc is the best and for some ps3
depends on what type of gamer you are

and yes the pc graphic cards are more powerful than ps3
but think of your money

You are an idiot. The PS3 and xBox 360 have reduced resolutions, ex. 720p while this guys rig can probably utilize four screens running at high resolution with ease. The ps3 and 360 don’t have graphics settings, because the devs don’t want idiots complaining their games run laggy on the equivalent “max” settings on a pc. Have you idiots even looked at the specs on a 360 or ps3?

Oh my god. HOW does the PC get outdated? Just because new parts come out does NOT make the PC outdated.

I have an i7 and a HD5850 right now.. but my E8400 Dualcore and 4890's last year still spank ANY console out there graphically.

PC gaming is cheaper in the long run, cheaper games, cheaper everything.

You can buy a PC that out-powers a console for $600 and be good to go.

Who wants to play boring soccer games? It's worse than the actual sport itself.

You don't need all that hardware. For $500 you can have an AMD quadcore, HD 5770, 4 gigs ofDDR3, and all the other components you need. No need to spend more.

Of course overkill is wonderful. Not that people with a console would know anything about overkill…

Why get a quad? The tricore Athlon II's are still more then enough for most games out there, and their under 80$ for being clocked above 3.0GHz. The 5770's are a good card still, I have a Vapor-x model that overclocks well while staying around 48*C at idle with fan set at 40%. Ram has become cheap as well, I mean getting 4gb kits are far cheaper then buying 2gb sticks seperately. I was surprised when the cheapest 2gb sticks were about 15$ less then a cheap 4gb kit.

Or you could go with an i7 980x for 999$, with TriSli'd 580's, 3 1920×1200 monitors, a motherboard with 5 pci-e slots, and 24gb of DDR3 2000MHz RAM

Is some dude at Sony paying you off Mr. Chubb or are you accepting other sorts of "favors" for this article.

This has to be the biggest steaming pile of rubbish I've ever heard, and you basically invalidated anything you'll be trying to "review" from this point onward. Congrats.

This argument never gets old. You DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT NEED several thousand dollar computer to enjoy games on PC. But yes, only spend thousands of dollars on one if you want the ultimate gaming experience.

I built one myself about 3 years ago for what.. 600 dollars? E6600 quadcore, 2gb DDR2 ram and 8800GT and guess what? Most modern games run flawlessly at without absolutely any problems at all @1440×900 resolution (minus Metro2033 crysis with AA on.. C'mon, its CRYSIS!).

Those of you that say a console usually cost alot less than a gaming computer needs to straighten up your math. Here I got my rig for $600.. monitor and everything while you ladies spend like $200-300 on the console itself. Now that thing is useless without a HDTV which usually cost between $500 to several grand. Do the math people.

Also, I'd like to point out that the guy who wrote the ariticle obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. If you're comparing console specs to modern day hardware (2010) than PC wins, hands down.. then this is not even a contest.
Now the only reason why some games run like shit on PC is because they are lazy half-assed ports. Ports that the developers put little to no effort in.

Feel free to disagree

Not true, PC wins PS3 in everything, you want to use mGS4, Uncharted 2?
PC has STARCRAFT 2 and many other exclusives. Most computers out today can easily whack the PS3's system specs in the ass, and there are many PC mods and BETTER online systems.

The PS3 is of course more powerful than the PC. I say this with full confidence because PC can't handle the graphics of Uncharted 2 or Heavy Rain which PS3 simply can. But the only problem in a PS3 is that the games are far more expensive than the PC. Anyway I'm gonna get a PS3 because watching GOW III just kicked my mind.

you can get a 500 dlrs pc for 500-600 dlrs that overkills any console 10X over

YOU ARE WRONG
pc can own a ps3.
5870 owns ps3

You said it man Ps3 runs on a 8 core processor by IBM with HDMI and blu -ray Pc faces a tough competition.In Carnegie Melon they are trying to build a supercomputer just out Ps3 chips.Pc are built for multitasking while Ps3 xbox are gaming machines.Just because something branded and expensive doesn't mean its top notch

I just got a stock fujitsu Esprimo
i5 processor @ 3.20ghz (4 cpus)
6 gb ram
ati radeon 5670
and it runs everything a bloody dream and all i will have to do to future proof is swap around chips as i go on. Incidently I just sold my xbox….. which i found bloody frustrating after being a pc gamer for so long.
CONSOLES YOU FAIL!

Listen, the sad fact is (which I am a PC gamer btw and don't own the PS3 or Xbox) is that due to the popularity of consoles versus PC gaming, games for the next while will be capped in terms of graphics according to what consoles can handle (there aren't very many PC exclusives out there.) So it doesn't really matter if buddy here has octo-core bulldozer processor with 3 way sli 580s, because the games, in general, will only be as good as the lowest console (Xbox).

A good point for consoles, though, is they have some wicked exclusive titles which I wish were available for PC.

you are all ignorant. Consoles dont have direct X 11 and tesselation. You all fail to compare the vividnes of pc gaming thru dx11 and teslation which ps3 cant produce.

Trolololoooool!!1!1!111

What an arrogant steaming pile this article is! I hate to break it down to you, but just one of my (3 cards tri-fired)Sapphire 5870 2Gb Eyefinity’s nearly doubles the Teraflops of your entire laughable console performance. Try 2.72 Tflp/s x3 gpu’s for a grand mal total of 8.16 Teraflops/second.

I won’t even bother adding the rest of the specs so you may avoid further embarrassment. Stupid console peasant.

Clearly, you do not understand the PS3 at all. The Cell IS NOT an 8 CORE processor. It is a SINGLE CORE processor with 8 SPE's (1 reserved for the OS). These SPE's are NOWHERE NEAR as powerful as a Core itself. What makes the Cell good and help to produce better graphics than a more powerful graphics card in the 360, is that the Cell can handle some of the graphical calculations, meaning the graphics card isn't as stressed and can prioritise, producing better graphics.

Compared to a PC, the PS3 has one 3.2Ghz core, vs a PC i7 extreme with 6 Cores @ 4.5Ghz. Graphics cards…nuff said.

Actually pc is much more powerful than ps3. Most of the games works only on Windows OS, and Microsoft with its DirectX lets games to use only about 20 – 50 % of GPU and CPU resources while PS3 with X360 use all 100%. And that's why stuff like RRoD and YLOD happens…

Pc is 100% powerful than ps3, ps 3 just 7800GT graphic card and pc already GTX580….ps 3 just handle to playing game .pc handle alot. but can't compare like this cause 2 are different..ps 3 design for playing game….but unlucky a lot of great game not come out on pc and only on ps3…like ff13, metal gear solid 4….ps 3 blur ray with 1080p LCD OR LED will have great graphic…

The PS3′s 2.0 trillion floating-point operations per second capability is the exact same figure as the ATI 6990′s 2.0 trillion floating-point operations per second (more or less), so the PS3 is no slouch.
