Average GPU is 4 times more powerfull than the Ps3.

By the info from this site:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats

Is easy to determine that the average Nvidia GPU doing folding is about 3.9 more powerfull than the Ps3.

13,324 GPUs give 1466 Tflops.

40,286 Ps3s give 1136 Tflops.

yea us pc gamers always seem to gett the best stuff. :)blackdreamhunk

What about those of us who have PC's AND Consoles? We put hermits to shame. :P

I don't understand your point. If Consoles were upgradable thise argument would be completely useless.Cedmln

I agree. All that power, and you still can't get ahold of mgs4 and littlebigplanet, i don't play my ps3 for stats, i play it for games.

:P

PC is the full package. Best controls (KB/Mouse), best online, best graphics, largest library, variety, highest # of good exclusives, everything.

This isn't a surprise in the least. GPU's are very cheap nowadays and even the older ones tend to outperform the consoles on a massive scale.

If a console was upgradable it would be a PC...The point is Cows go on and on about the stupid cell processor thinking it is the greatest thing ever when an Intel or AMD processor can outperform it day in and day out.

Alot of what your stating is opinion, personally I prefer the controller over a keyboard and mouse even if it is slower, also consoles online play has started to develop a very vast community that I would argue is even greater then the PCs free online community.

The cell processor is the real gimmick.. People keep on going on about the Wii's motion controls being gimmicky.. But some games they run brilliant on and have changed the way we controled games before... The Cell on the other hand has done nothing, and other then overhyped preview screens, it is neck and neck with the supposedly inferior hardware of the Xbox360.

Consoles dont require this type of raw power to run heavy games.So far every game coming on both the next gen consoles are pretty good.They mostly require optimization and they are good to go.Besides if they followed your advice and replaced that "So-called" weak GPU with your requirements.The manufacturing cost would be A LOT !

Their aim is NOT TO ACHIEVE HIGH FRAME RATES but to make the game look as good as the PC version.Which so far they are achieving.

That's great and all but what PC games are really taking advantage of that? Crysis, maybe. All this bragging about graphical capabilities is pointless. As far as quality games go the PC certainly hasn't had an advantage over consoles in the last year. espoac

That's fine. Of course i'm stating opinion. What else would i be stating? I don't have facts to support it...but largest library and best graphics is Fact. Also, KB/Mouse = Faster play and incredibly Precise so, for me, hands down better than anything. Plus I'm very good. :) Best online...well, i guess that's opinion. Frankly, if you have ever played any Steam game online on PC you'd realize the community for PC is so much better in terms of support, people, and amounts of servers. Personally i don't see how anyone can consider PC online inferior to any online but w/e, to each his own.

The Average GPU is probably a Intel XMA or whatever they're called.

You should of said the Average NVidia GPU owned by people who use Folding @ Home.

Greater than free pc community? What? Try and give one reason why.

No matter how you spin it, the PC still has the most highly rated AAA's and AA's of any 2 consoles combined.

I have a gaming PC and a 360 and for games I'll take my 360 over the crap that's been hitting the PCFFXIII360

lesner87

kinda an interesting statement given that all console ports look way better on a pc and run at higher frame rates...

Crysis MP sucked and the game was fun until the end

If Crysis is your main reason for PC gaming that's pretty sad

So, let me get this straight... You think an expansion pack makes the PC's lineup better than 360 or PS3's?espoac

I just don't understand why people have this argument in here. I mean a pc you can upgrade and a console you can not. I dont understand why people even bother arguing about this anymore. Its really beating a dead horse to the extent of not even worth commenting about.

Has nothing to do with being "old" :|. Its the fact that PC's are unlimted as far as implemented and designing a game. Consoles are limited because they are not upgradable and they come as they are.

check out this game dev had to say about the consoles

just keep watching and he will say it.

I don't understand your point. If Consoles were upgradable thise argument would be completely useless.Cedmln

hey lets look at what pc gamers are ready for, are console even ready yet a nope

This not done on a console is it! ;) oh snap!

You say that, but its actually the controls that put me off PC gaming. Im aware im missing out on a great libray, but when it comes to anything other than RTS i hate KB/M.
