I just said it was a dumb one, I didn't say I hated it. There are good analogies and awful analogies. Yours just happened to fall in a the bad category. I didn't mean anything else by it. Don't take little things so seriously man.

Sorry if my honesty pisses some people off.

Hmm, thanks for that info.

I hate this GPU's architecture.

It's not a 2400 HD, but it's not quite an X1900.

its close to X1900 though. i know for a fact the RSX is 7800GT

my couzin thought the PS3 had a 8 core processor i was like no. it has a cell broadband processor

I got no clue what either one of them have. I just know I enjoy the Xbox 360 more then the PS3. Not saying the PS3 is bad, in fact with the price drop I think the PS3 is a great deal considering it has a blu ray player.

GT5 does not run 1080p. The only time GT5 runs 1080p is when you're in the trophy room and menus. When you select the "1080p" rendering thing, you don't get 1920x1080, you get 1280x1080 or whatever. Its better then the 1280x720 if you like less AA but, I personally don't consider it 1080p for real.

Very very few games do 1080p, and the ones that do such as Wipeout HD typically have dynamic frame buffers to them where they switch resolutions on the fly to keep performance at best, or are sports games. In fact, someone was telling me the other day that is dynamic frame buffer is in GT5 when its using that '1080p' rendering mode, but I don't know the truth behind that.

And yeah - the 600p crap with CoD4 and CoD:MW2 is absolutely horrible. It looks like turd on my 32" 1080p. I can't wait to get the PC version of MW2.

After 3000+ posts, you still haven't learned that there is an edit button in the lower right hand corner? Stop double posting, it's getting annoying.

Pertaining to the question:

With consoles, I think GPU matters less than with PC. The coding for that specific GPU is what is important. This is where the xbox has the upper hand. It is easier for developers to program games to run on the xbox than on the PS3, making it seem as though the xbox's graphics are better (while in fact they are, the PS3 can perform identically with the right software coding). I forget where I read this... I'll try to dig up a link to cite a valid source.

Comparing the GPU in a console to the GPU in a computer seems foolish. Console games are specifically designed to run on that set of components, and nothing else. PC games need to cover a broader spectrum, essentially reducing the efficiency at which the graphics/audio are reproduced.


EDIT: I was wrong. It's the xbox's CPU that's easier to program for. Source so far (5 minutes of searching).

I don't believe anyone is comparing a console GPU to a PC GPU, although I agree with your post completely.
When people say its 'comparable to a 7800GTX' or whatever, its simply a point of reference.

Although, I do disagree on the console GPU not matter that much. The GPU performance graphic quality wise is truly different from a PC GPU, but - the resolution it can output goes hand in hand with that so it does matter a lot.
