3DS/Vita graphics gap isnt as big as ds/psp gap

resident evil relevations look comparable to vitas graphics

please tell me you aren't serious, it doesn't come close to the Uncharted demo. 3DS is around PS2, Vita almost Ps3

There is a huge gap between those 2:

Well, technically the DS is a more powerful PS1 while the PSP is a gimped PS2. And 3DS is a enhanced GameCube while Vita is a gimped PS3. So there you have it.

Crushed by the first post , lol.

How about you use the machines' native resolutions intead of upscaled bullshots?

...well that came out weird.:?

Vita is still massively more powerful than the 3DS and can output far superior graphics but even if the gap isn't as big as last gens. Why does that matter? It would be a good thing that they are both fairly powerful.

Sorry but no. http://gamescom.gamespot.com/image_viewer/6329674/uncharted-golden-abyss-screens/1/?tag=thumbs_below%3Bthumb%3B1#site_navTheGuardian03

Wow I never knew how good Uncharted: GA looked until I saw thosel. The draw distance. :o

Certainly looks better than Uncharted 1. :)

3ds is weaker than iphone 4 while vita is 4 times as powerful as iphone 4

Imo it has less to do with graphics and more to do with the screens. PSV OLED is far superior to the 3ds screen. I think graphically they are close but its like playing an xbox on a standard television vs a ps3 on an HD tv. Even if they both had the same great looking games, better screen will always be superior.

3ds graphics are superficial. They look nice up close and in small quarters but bring it into wide open spaces and the environments are either boring and empty or pixelated and look messy.

3ds will never have anything at this level. Pretty big gap in my opinion.

The Vita has not yet released and 3DS is still in its early months thereby we have no knowledge of the true difference of these two handhelds in their maximum performance. Those who say Vita is way stronger than the 3DS, please remember how terrible the DS hardware was especially in its 3D graphics performance compared to PSP. That's why for the moment, i agree with the thread title.

Well, technically the DS is a more powerful PS1 while the PSP is a gimped PS2. And 3DS is a enhanced GameCube while Vita is a gimped PS3. So there you have it.

3DS's PICA200 GPU is not GameCube's Flipper GPU. PICA200 is like DX7 type GPU with support for fix function DX9 type effects and DX8 type vertex shader.

It's an alternative path from DX8 (programmable vertex/pixel shader) era Geforce 3/Radeon 8x00 development.

Sony Vita's PowerVR 543MP4 follows the PC way i.e. support for DX9+ with unified shaders, which is similar to Xbox 360's Xenos GPU design.You could say PowerVR 543MP4 is like a mini-Xenos.

Yeah the oversizing screens crap is definitely a trend these days.:roll: Just played the demo for this game on my 3DS and it is looking great.

The 3DS is probably a Generation Behind of Vita's.

DS - PS1 / 3DS - Gamecube

PSP - PS2 / Vita - PS3

Of course all 4 devices are no where near the actual Consoles, but they're pretty darn close.

Also in terms of Handhelds, Batter Life is Key and the 3DS is in the very Low Tier of that Devision.

Well actually the Screen shot is kinda on par with Mercs.

4X Intel GMA600 (scale PowerVR 535 @ 400Mhz four times for Sony Vita) vs Geforce 7900M GT (500Mhz G71, same shader config as 500Mhz RSX) says Hi.

PowerVR 543 has about twice the IPC over PowerVR 535, but Sony Vita's PowerVR 543MP4 (i.e. MP4 = four PowerVR 543 GPUs, at 200Mhz).

Vita games really do look like they could be PS3 games. The Vita's launch titles aren't going to look so inferior to titles later in the Vita's lifespan however like they do on the PS3. That being said, Uncharted Golden Abyss looks visually better than Drake's Fortune.

Actually the gap is about the same. The vita crushes the 3ds hardware wise.

In shader architecture design, Sony Vita's PowerVR 543 MP4 (in a 7 inch wide device) is closer to AMD Xenos GPU or Radeon HD 6250M (i.e. target for handheld size devices like 10 inch wide tablets).

On 3DMarks 2005, I estimate PowerVR 543 MP9 (9 PowerVR 543 GPUs) to equal Radeon HD 6250M(not AMD C-60's Radeon HD 6290M).

When you guys stop posting over-sized pictures maybe we can have real image comparisons.

There is a sizable gap, but we haven't rly seen what the 3DS can really do. All the games we've seen so far are 3D compatable so that kills any graphical headroom that would be possible.

mgs3 on 3ds looks nothing like that. Needs more n64 quality textures.

I'm not saying there isn't a graphical difference...I'm just saying you can't blow up images like that.

See how much better the images look when you don't distort them?

I agree. There is no doubt that the Vita is more powerful and can produce better looking games, but the difference is smaller because the 3DS is more capable with 3D.

Doesn't Work the way on my monitor(32" lcd) the vita pic is 10" diagonally and 3ds one is 6 1/2" the best you can do is post native resolution pics but games will obviously look different on a smaller screen at those resolution also have to take into account the superior oled screen of the psv which will outclass even high end hdtv in picture quality.

I know that, but I dont see what that has to do with the end result. Implementation is different, but end result will be nearly the same. TF2 is a good example. OSX uses OGL & Windows uses DX. Both look identical. Im not proposing that 3DS games will look identical to PSV games(thats ridiculous), what I'm saying is that if u take 3D out of the picture then the 3DS can produce relatively comparable graphics to the PSV regardless of the shader language and that gives the 3DS alot of graphical headroom.. 2D only allows for potentially 2x the polygon count. thats only one example.

Also on a side note, from what i've read devs can write shaders using the OpenGL ES 2.0 API & compile it for theMAESTRO-2G extension using DMP's own SDK. That route is obviously less efficient, but its still a viable option depending on how good their compiler is atm.

Looks like both of them are displaying mainly polygons now instead of sprites :P Vita clearly has the upper hand here but 3DS ain't bad either.

3ds version is iphone port. Ridge Racer 3DS is also a iphone port. Also tbh the vita version also looks like an upgraded port. Nothing impressive for both systems.

I agree actually (with the topic title that is). It's like comparing the Wii to PS3 gap, to the Nintendo 64 to PS2 gap. Both very big gaps, but I think last home console gen was when we first got truly decent 3D graphics.

The gap looks pretty big to me! 3DS seems close to Xbox graphics and Vita to 360/PS3 graphics.
