can you guys reassure me?

I just need clarification that my PC is >> than my 360 graphically.

pc: 3.2ghz e6600 , ASUS ultimate gaming mobo, GTS 8800, Samsung 206bw 20" monitor, 2gb RAM,

360.....well is what it is :)

Its just when i play my 360 i feel like the graphics look better...it mite just be coz im playing it on a 32" HDTV, but then again, my 20" 206BW displays higher res than the 32" so thats that outta the window.

Why do i feel my 360 has superior graphics?

But technically - my PC is graphically more capable than my 360 right?

it's a very good machine, I think it's more powerful, should run gears at at least 360 res and most other 360 games at very high quality.nutcrackr

MY processsor is e6600 duo core ...whats the 360 @? And what does this really matter/mean?

"can you guys reassure me?"

I can give you a hug if you want... will that help?

lmao.. excellent

I believe the 360 has 4 cores (Yours has two) running at 3.6 GHZ.Phantsy16

The 360 has 3 cores.

And his e6600 is a better processor I believe. The architecture in the C2D's is more advanced then the 360s.

Seriously, what does it matter? Do you like playing PC games? If yes, then don't worry about it.. If no.. then just play your console..

I thought the 360 had a modified version of the 7900gt or something.

Huh? Thats the GPU, and the 360 has a modified X1900XT.

I think I do..Specs down here.

I aint no hardware guru, but that is utter BS imo.

A dual core is more than adequate, especially one running at 3.6GHz. This isnt about pride or anything and whats best, its just the 360s "4 cores" is a bit of a gimmick imo.

I mean, my Jeep is a 4.0 litre 6-cylinder but it would easily get smoked by a 1.6 litre 4-cylinder with a few minor upgrades. I guess my point is that believing in numbers is a logical fallacy.

And lets not forget about memory, TV vs PC monitor, video card, etc.

I to am a overclocker but no its not going to put out graphics as easly as a 360 will,even thow all your hardware is by far faster than the 360s PC games are coded and run in a manner that is a lot different than that of the 360.The 360s hardware works more as one big graphics processor where as in a pc your CPU,GPU,RAM,and HDD dont work together as well.Not ony that but PC games are coded to run on many different GPUs,CPUs were as every 360 has the same hardware,So no,If you get a 8800GTX and a Q6600 (and oc them) i would say that its safe to say that your PC is by far faster than a 360 or PS3 (as far as graphics go) but your PC can do a lot more things than the 360 or PS3 ever could and at a lot faster speed.

Ya, quality is a whole other part of the deal.

My roommate had to send FOUR (!!!) 360s back to the factory for refurbishing due to failure. The 360 was in an open, well-ventilated area too. Oh, and Oblivion and Gears of War crash like crazy, but thats only after stuttering for 20 minutes.

PC looks better imo, but that is hardly the reason why a PC is better than 360. My homebuilt rig (and I have only built one PC prior to my new one) has yet to crash on me due to hardware-related issues, and the only game with constant instability is Armed Assault.

Seriously, what does it matter? Do you like playing PC games? If yes, then don't worry about it.. If no.. then just play your console..

It matters because when bioshock releases i want to know which version to get...iv decided on the PC version. More so for the mods that will come out and the sheer replay factor that this will bring.

no... if you are happy with being on that side of the road thats fine....i on the other hand..... :)

Why do i feel my 360 has superior graphics?

But technically - my PC is graphically more capable than my 360 right?

Dude, that rig blows the XBOX 360 out of the water!!! Seriously, that's like an XBOX 360 on Steroids And Acid!

LOL......ok thanks man. i feel better now....not so much for the 360 with the "comedown" from its acid trip though :)

well guys look, Gamespot ran a test and said the 8800 has 2 times morepower than the ps3 grpahics, and im pretty sure the ps3 graphics are stronger than the 360's (even though it doesn't show that often).

so we can safely say our pcs are stronger than consoles

But anyway, yes TC's PC should be better than 360, traditionally the consoles have always had a lot worse textures than PC, not sure if that's the case with 360 tho. But when playing on a TV you're relatively far away from the screen and the differences are harder to spot, and the 360 can produce some great visuals as well, add to that the common poor optimization of PC games and the PC doesn't have such a huge advantage. The difference might be there but imo it's not good enough reason to choose the other version of for e.g. Bioshock. Better controls, mods and cheapers price are far better reasons imo.

Is the Cell as good as a c2d @ 3.4 ghz ?anshul89

well spec wise you're a little ahead, but when it comes down to actual game performance, and visual quality the 360's going to win out. There's alot of aspects in the 360's architecture that optimize it for games so in order to get the same visual quality you're going to need better specs.

Think of it this way you're pc is a mini van, and the 360 is a sports car. They might have the same horsepower, and 3.0 liter engines which to somebody who didn't know about cars would say hey they're just as fast. Of course we know the sports car is going to win out in a race, and PC is going to be easier to get grocieries with. Of course the PC isn't a one trick pony like the 360, and you can also add parts onto it so if you spend enough money (or wait a year or two) you can get a faster pc.

Note: Most developers program the 360's tri-core pretty much the same as a dual-core so there's no advantage to it's CPU. By the time they actually start making use of it PC will be on quad-cores.

IF I had a 360.. I would buy both.. why? So I could play with a friend.. while I'm on PC and he on console. Heck.. IF the game is good.. I would buy it on both just to support the game.. done it before.

yeah it is better, try DiRT on both and you'll see the better graphics on the PC...

guys, can you watch porn on your 360 or ps3? reason enough PCs are betterf575gtc

*I do not condone such actions, it is merely a thought*

*smirks*

Well I'll just put this out there because I didn't see anyone correct it through the first 3 pages.

THe 360 has 3 symetrical cores running at 3.2 ghz each.

well spec wise you're a little ahead, but when it comes down to actual game performance, and visual quality the 360's going to win out. There's alot of aspects in the 360's architecture that optimize it for games so in order to get the same visual quality you're going to need better specs.

Are you kidding me? Textures on the consoles are FAR lower then anything the PC puts out.. Do a side by side FEAR comparison which was considered a great port.. FEAR looks god awful on the Xbox360... Crysis any one? I am sorry but any one who thinks Xbox360 can compare toa pc of that calibre doesn't know what they are talking about. The 8800 series is much MUCh more powerful then any card in the console..

There are good looking games.. Hell even Bioshock looked great but if you look close its textures are ugly as hell.

CPU, 360. GPU, PC. But to be honest dont really care, think you just wanted to flash your PC specs.

BOTTOM LINE

Last year a friend of mine was running into financial problems, needed a new job and had some vehicle problems. He told me he had to sell something to get come money and asked my opinion on wether to sell his Xbox 360 or his $1100 PC. I put it plain and simple that as much as we love the 360, if he sold his PC he had great games to play. But if he sold his 360, he still have great games to play, plus the ability to look for a job online, post his resume, etc. Plus he'd be able to do research on his car, so when he got the money he could save more by repairing it himself.

CPU, Graphics, Memory is all irrellavent to having a reliable PC that is as future preventive as possible. Even simple things like Adobe Reader and YouTube can tax out older PC's.

If you have the cash, do both, if not, your PC is not only entertainment, but a tool. And with a 360 controller, steering wheel, Guitar Hero guitar and the many 360 ports on the PC. My PC is almost the same thing as a 360 minus some games and Xbox Live.

Before you flame me I'm not a fanboy by any means. I've been gaming for 26 years on everything and anything, but this is the reality check for those of us that like to live in unreal places for hours a day.
