pc vs console?

Which do you think has better graphics, the pc or the 360/ps3?

I'm not too sure. The 360 has a 3.2Ghz graphics engine (one of the cores is dedicated to the gpu). However, computers have more required of them. Instead of the 30fps (TV) of the consoles, the pc has to go sixty at least 60fps for most gamers to be happy. Computers are also required to output higher resolutions than HD to please many gamers. Console games also have the graphics settings optimized for the console instead of cranked up like most pc gamers like. (i dont know much about the ps3)

The big thing that makes me unsure is that the new games seem to put a lot of work on powerful PCs. Consoles appear to be able to handle them though. Of course, some of what I said above could be in play.

What do you think is better, PC or console?

I high end built/bought P.C. still has better graphics. This type of question belongs in system wars where the console gamers can whine about how expensive P.C. gaming is and that they should not be compared.:roll:roulettethedog

Oh, I thought system wars excluded PCs. Sorry.

Well since console games are made for a console and not a PC which you have to upgrade I would say the 360 is better

Right now consoles offer better bang for buck. Later on PC's will be much better graphically.KirbyFan10101

True, I would have to spend $800 on a pc to be able to beat the consoles. You don't have to upgrade though. The consoles don't upgrade. The consoles graphic quality just goes down the older it gets (mainly fps lags).

I'll move it for ya... done, moved from PC Hardware to System WarsDirkVDV01

THANKS a bunch!

:?how did you do that?

This is why people think PC gamers are uppity, you never see console owners on the 360/PS3/Wii boards talking like that about PCs....

Anyway it's pretty much a draw.

For now, PC games look better, although it is pretty damn close. Close enough to call it a tie, for the time being.

Just give it a year, and you'll see how far PC Graphics will go ahead of consoles. As time progresses, the PC gets better and consoles stay the same :/

Pound for pound, I think you could make an argument for consoles. Then again, pound for pound ants are vastly more powerful than gorillas.

Absolutely speaking, a high-end gaming PC will blow anything any console does out of the water without a contest.

At this point, something is wrong with you if you don't know PC is better.

I wouldn't put it like that, as someone who owns a gaming worthy rig, 20 consoles and 8 handhelds, I can attest that each and every one has their pros and cons.

What is it with some of you people? HELLO...................WAKE UP AND JOIN THE REST OF US SHEEEEEESH. The PC already is better graphicly. Hell the PC was more powerful before the PS3 was even released. Only thing happening now, is that gap is gett bigger and bigger, because PC is getting better and better. All while the consoles stay the same.

I don't know what you mean by flaws. Those are the standard things that pcs are rated by: resolution, fps, and how close they can get to the highest quality. Computes are always held up to those standards on the Internet.

I can see that it is silly to compare pcs with consoles though. Unless you talk price of course.

After actually thinking about it, I have to agree with Grive.

lol, I was trying to test software while I wrote this. :lol: sorry. From the beginning I was speaking relatively. PCs are better but have more required, so when you play, which is smoother? A PC with high res and quality or a console. Modern PCs seem to have trouble running new games as well as consoles when the quality is turned up. That is what I ment.
