Yeah it's old news, the RAM in the PS3 is started to be used in AMD graphics card. It's not how fast your car can go, it's how good you are behind the wheel.

I would blame the developer. They coded it poorly. Amateur coders is more like it. Want proof of PS3's superiority? Play PS3 exclusives especially the Uncharted series.

xbox360's ram is better because it's unified makes a bigger difference than a tiny bit more bandwidth.

They both have 512MB RAM

PS3 is split into 2 sections

360 isn't

PS3 is super fast RAM (and super fast bus)

360 is slow RAM (and slow bus)

360 OS takes up less RAM leaving more for games

PS3 OS takes up more RAM leaving less for games

As to Skyrim problems on PS3, it's a sloppy port, period. Bethesda didn't respect PS3 owners enough to do a good job, they used an old engine, slapped it together and sold it.

You don't play Bethesda games on anything but a PC if you want a good experience.

The PS3 has faster ram, but it's still limited by the amount of ram--which is lacking comparative to the Xbox 360 since the ram isn't unified between the two.

1) Its RAM is Partitioned 2) Only 1 pool is faster 3) Fast =/= Better 4) 360 Still has more 5) 360 RAM is unified, which is better for consoles since they have super low RAM anyway 6) Its still up to the GPU what to store in that VRAM

Yeah, that's an IGN article alright. If the PS3's memory is so superior, why do most multiplatform games look and perform worse on the PS3? Memory pools are fixed, system uses more memory than the 360, and its GPU lacks the crazy fast eDRAM of the 360.

Because you're a noob lol. It runs almost solid 30 fps for me. Occasional dips. But it's very minor and short. Hardly unnoticeable.

They look and perform better on the ps3, actually. The screen tearing on 360 multiplat games is abysmal.

Well, PS3's technology is far ahead of 360's (CELL processor, etc), so developers are right amateurs when it comes to PS3. Naughty Dog is one of the 'true' PS3 developers.

No one said the PS3 had poor RAM :?

They said because it was split it causes problems. If you have tons of RAM like a PC, you can split it all over the place, it doesn't really matter, but in a console with already small quantity, it would be inevitable down the line that it would cause problems. Combined with the OSs problems.

It's so easy to blame devs. Poor coders ect. But why should devs have to put up with this extra rubbish of low resources, complicated architechures and so on.

What's the point of having one component faster, when it's harder to make use of? That split memory and bulkier OS doesn't help devs any.

No one here is a dev so I don't believe most thins people say about systems on here. What most people on here seem to do is post BS links that agree with their argument, well I hate to break it to those people but no one buys it. I see so many people say things and seem to have no idea what they are talking about, like some people will say "this version of the game has better AA (anti aliasing)" but when you ask them what that means you'll get a thousand "definations" from people, which leads me to believe that everyone is talking out their ass.

I don't know how much RAM the PS3 has and I don't care, most devs don't seem to have an issue with it or the PS3 in general. I also don't see a difference between PS3 and 360 multiplats in almost all cases, they literally look the same to me. I can't tell if one is "better" than the other, some people on here say otherwise but that's because they are desperate fanboys. And I still don't have any performance issues with Skyrim, the issue isn't universal like Lems think it is and the last update fixed it for my friends who were having it.
