Why do gaming pc's with better hardware than ps3...

Why do gaming PCs with better hardware than PS3 or 360 have games that run so bad, and look even worse at 720p? I mean UC3 looks so crisp compared to my crysis or gta4 on pc. I mean even with a $1000 pc, games don't look as good as UC3 without a performance hit. Why is that? I'm just wondering....not hating.

Are you talking about Vanilla GTA you must be :)

No dude don't try to take on pc graphics man just don't you'll get beaten to death with our pics

Compared to Crysis??? hmm... yeah..themyth01

Crytek is not very good at optimization and crysis is there worst optimized game especially in dx10. Modders have made config files tiny kilobyte text files that tweak the game settings to perform better while looking far better then vanilla settings but that being said what are the specs of this $1000 pc? The below video is crysis running smoothly at 1920x1080(ignore quad HD did it for the hits) on a PC with a 5770 1gb,Quad core + 3gb ram using one of those config files.

[QUOTE="UNcartMe"]on a 42 inch hdtv, uc3 looks and performs better than crysis on a $1000 pc. i mean it looks good, but once all the settings are turned up, it takes a hit and just doesn't run smooth. i set my setting to 720p, because at 1080p it performs horrid. but at 720p, it doesn't look crisp and idk why. i guess uc3 is just optimized so wellUNcartMe

Some developers dont put enough love into PC versions of games. GTA 4 is and EXCELLENT example of that, the game runs terrible even on modern systems. Batman Arkham City is another example of a PC version that isnt very optimized, the DX11 mode is broken for one thing.

I have a $1,400 dlls PC and totally and completely destroy the PS3 in graphics, By a far margin. I prefer playing in a console though

Crysis 1 looks much better than Uncharted 3 and I am only using a video card I bought for 75USD to play it. I even recorded some gameplay footage. Make sure to watch it in "Original" resolution mode which is above 1080P. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLkg97aDr9kwhat settings are you running that at? and what are your specs? i mean the graphics are better than ps3, but the screen tearing and all that looks bad to me, especially when using a mouse! Heck I was more impressed with the PC version of Sonic Generations than Uncharted 3. Another video recorded by me that should be watched in "Original" 1200P resolution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz9myMkO9lkRyviusARC

what are your specs? and to me that doesn't look too good. i mean the textures and effects kill ps3, but it seems laggy and has a lot of screen tearing and stuff! ugh i hate the way it looks when moving the camera with a mouse.UNcartMe

idk man uc3 just looks so good, especially in low light settings. that video of crysis looks great and all, but idk it just lacks somethingUNcartMe

i give those screens above a big fat "meh"

[QUOTE="themyth01"][QUOTE="UNcartMe"]well i didn't really buy it for gaming, because those cost a butt load. also it has turbo boost or something like that. and i'm pretty sure they are better than ps3 hardware. i think it's because they weren't optimized for my processor. do you know what games run well on i7 and 540m?

UNcartMe

No, you clearly DON'T know about hardware as your post reeks of it. As such, you would know that running ANY game on NON-NATIVE resolution greatly distorts the image quality (IQ). So when you run crysis at "720p" (People that know hardware do not use those terms btw) then you are greatly distorting the image because laptop LCD only runs best at native resolution. Secondly, if you know hardware, you know that an i7 is amazing for gaming and that almost all games are GPU limited and therefore your bottleneck would CLEARLY be your mid-range NOTEBOOK GPU. Finally, you would know that while your specs are better than "PS3 quality" (Whatever that really means), PC's require more hardware as there is no real common denominator as they have to be optimized with many different CPU/GPU/RAM/Motherboard configurations. Therefore it takes more to get a game running smoothly.

Based on those things alone, it does NOT surprise me that you think Uncharted is the bees knees for gaming IQ. You probably don't fine tune your graphics settings as you don't really understand how each setting affects the CPU/GPU and therefore don't get things set up. This is most evident in that you don't run native. A game running medium settings at native will look BETTER than running High on "720p." Most console games are just upconverted games running at "640p." Yawn....

This thread just fails. This guy doesn't know much about hardware (doesn't even know what TurboBoost is, not that it really does anything that helps enough to care). Mobile GPUs are just... not good.

What on earth?? Uncharted3 looks better then Cryis on pc? haha

Dude I own a ps3 and NO PS3 game looks half as good as the top 5 best looking pc games.

i just made crysis run and look well on my laptop/hdtv. on the res i put 1176x664 which my tv upscaled to 1280x720! i put 1280x720 setting, but my tv says not supported for some reason. next i made sure that my laptop was plugged in, then i closed the lid of my laptop and put it on full screen.

I have everything on high except medium shadow, medium physics, low post processing, medium water quality, and medium motion blur. vsync off, aa off as well. it runs super smooth with slight screen tearing and looks very good!

Exactly... Those are old GPUs just as the PS3 and the 360 have old GPUs (and hardware overall). I had a 7800 GTX and then a 8800 GTX (thing was a beast) back in those days, when they were still amazing, but now, they are just... not good, as I said in my first reply.

That's a mobile GPU.. My laptop has a GTX560 and game run/look a hell of a lot better than they do on consoles.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] Not really, no. You have a laptop that was not meant for gaming.ferret-gamer

I have a 555m and it does pretty well for most games. A few poorly optimized ones chug with high settings, though.

I usually run games at 720p over my native 900p. i don't notice a difference and it allows other settings to be higher and run smooth. Crysis was maxed out on this laptop I'm typing on. It's an older game, so that was to be expected.

Looks average.
