dragon age origns pc or ps3?

i played biowares kotor on pc and playing both 10 times over, the problem now is that the recent mass effect played with terrible lag on medium settings forcing me to play it on terrible graphics that nearly ruined the whole game for me. Having a ps3 now, and pc specs: 2gb of ram, dual intel core at 2.66GHz and a Radeon X1300/1500 graphics card.

Will dragon run ok since the graphics dont look that demanding as mass effect or should i settle for the ps3 version?

ok i know i can answer this one pc since i don't know how the ps3 version works

you should get it on PC anyway, its a lot better than the PS3 version. i have a 2.6Ghz core 2 duo with 2GB of RAM and an ATI radeon HD 4830 and it runs perfectly. i dont have texture quality on high though because windows 7 eats a good chunk of my 2GB of RAM.Kaeladar

no its not demanding, maybe in some places if you completly zoom out because there is a lot of stuff on screen. but its still not so demanding and you dont even need to zoom out completly. here are my dragon age options: 1920x1200 graphics detail: very high texture detail: medium Anti-Aliasing: x8 i dont know well your graphics card. it seems a little older than mine so you may have to play on a lower resolution and maybe lower graphics detail or AA. but i am pretty sure the result will be better than the PS3 anyway. i heard PS3 had a few framerate issues and the gameplay is missing some features of the PC version.Kaeladar

You probably won´t max it,but even so,the PC version is a lot better.

The PC version is more chalenging,you can zoom the camera to give you a strategic overview in battles,the interface(action bar)is more intuitive than the radial menu on the consoles,etc...

Anyway,the console versions are decent,just not good enough if you have a PC able to run the game,wich is your case.

With that graphics card in your PC the game will look a lot worse and run a lot slower than the PS3 version. The PS3 has a roughly equivalent 7800GTX inside it, the Xbox 360 has the equivalent of a X1900 XT in it. So as you can see your graphics card is well below that of the consoles and you can expect worse visuals and frame rates compared to the consoles.

I say just get it for the PS3. It should look a little bit better then what your rig can dish out.

He has a Radeon X1300, which was a low end card even in it's day. I doubt the game will be playable.

The PS3 doesn't have fantastic hardware or anything, but it is equivalent to having a multicore CPU with a 7800GTX, which is much better than his PC.

I got the PS3 collector's edition on day 1 but now that I got a new rig for christmas I really regret not picking up the PC version. I would buy it now but that would be just wasting $75 I spent on the PS3 edition.

I think a some of the mods are pretty good and really enhance the gameplay. Pineapple's textures, instant shapeshifting, nohelmet, finishing move mods. I say PC then maybe go to fileplanet and check out the modpack.

With that rig, the PS3 version of the game will look better and run smoother.

Well the PC version on low settings still offers better gameplay than the PS3 version :P

[QUOTE="tony2077ca"] really i thought you guys would be condemning the console version since i see that often on heretony2077ca

The PC version has top down view , also the menus are easier to navigate, and the combat is smoother because of the ease of using different combat actions on the combat bar. The 360 and PS3 version are near identical save for graphical issues/bugs.

Your graphics card is, sorry to say it, horrible. It's gonna look like crap on the PC and it'll ruin your game experience. Get it for the PS3.

get the PS3 version.

Or upgrade your GPU, something better wouldn't be very expensive.

PC because of mods, the end.nutcrackr

PC, it's the only way to play this types of game. It's not a game that needs a high framerate. Lower settings/resolution if you need to. I have to say though, your graphics card is an antique :D You really need to upgrade, if you're on a bidget, you could get something like the 4670 for 60 quid, or you could sell your ps3 and get something better :D

Id say wait until you upgrade the pc, its just not the same game on console.
