Black Ops plays @ 1,024 x 600 on consoles compared to 2560x1600 on PC

Consoles = 1,024 x 600

PC = 2560x1600 on my monitor

Ouch....

GTX 580 can play Black Ops @ 1280x1024 with an average of 236 FPS. What fps would consoles get at the resolution? Not even 30?? :o

I think it might be time for an update for the consoles. No?

i thought we all new the PC version would be better technically?

Call of Duty has always been a good deal better on PC. Glad some are finally noticing this. :P

I don't think so. Consoles have always been like this compared to PC.

Yay for pointing out the obvious.

It started as a PC franchise and to me these games were always meant for PC.

I just must be ignorant. I thought xbox360 and PS3 played their games at 1080 or atleast 720. They are like the wii. They are not even HD. I play my games at 2560x1600. HD was like year 2000 lol. Its 2010 people...

I think i be more worried if it didnt ran that good on the PC.... its not like COD is know for its amazing graphics.

So..?

While most PC gamers play at resolutions higher than 1024x600, something like 2560x1600 is definitely in the extreme minority. Consoles are designed to be mainstream, they don't have to be technically cutting edge. That's what gaming PCs are for.

Pointless thread.

Its not a pointless thread. I think it points out the huge gap between the PC and consoles that is getting ridiculous. Next generation consoles are not going to be out for years yet, which is going to widen the gap even further. To be quite honest I am getting sick and tired of consoles dragging down the games I play on my PC. How bout you keep your exclusives and we will keep ours mmmk thanks.

COD4 is way better on the PC than it is on the consoles.... plus the mods are great as well.

Yay resolution, Easily the best way to make a game awesome...some how a higher resolution changes things...

Now I dislike Call of Duty something fierce, but pompous PC fanboys are the worst of the worst. I personally have an Xclio Windtunnel as my case...so I can naturally fit a LOT more hardware into it. If my PC were the size of my 360S (!) there is no way it would be getting the same kind of output. FYI the 360S is about 12-13in tall and about 1-2in thick at its skinniest point. My PC also doesn't have 5 year old tech inside of it...except for maybe the motherboard.

As for resolution everyone is different, my Asus monitor only goes up to 1920x1080

Since the performance gap is so wide, then why isn't Gamespot reviewing PC versions of games? They are focused on consoles too much imo. Bioshock 2 and Gothic 4 still don't have a PC review.:?

OR how about taking off your "PCgoggles" and just play the darn games? Just a thought...You do know that there is very little difference in PC and CONSOLE games right? I have never in my life heard so much complaining over some flippin resolution in my life..Please just stop and go play your TRUE HD graphics and enjoy..

Yeah, just look at Infamous. The Resolution and lack of AA make the game look atrocious. Not too mention the horrible Pop in. If the game were on PC, it would actually look pretty good.

Demon's Souls too actually. It doesn't have much pop in, but the lack of AA and the low res make it look like garbage when it would look great otherwise.

The hardware inside current generation consoles is way behind what computers are reaching right now. That's undeniable. However, some people just prefer the console experience (cheap, simple in many ways, and fairly hassle free with limited customization and great optimization), or would rather not deal with the sometimes-complex process of putting together and maintaining their own stable and reliable gaming rig. And pre-built rigs? Not even going to go into that.

probably, but playing online games (especially fps) is very bad on pc.Online FPS isabout community, pc fps has no good community so all they can talk is hardware.

On console, the only differences are monitor and internet connection, everything else is same among all console gamers.

On PC, everyone gets different hardare and accessories. Someone might have super fast pc with gaming mouse, that basically gives them a big advantage on other players. Therefore, PC's online FPS is not as fair as console, not even mentioning pc gamers tend to cheat more. btw mod kills balance and orignal ideal, once someone plays it with mod, then the game is pretty much doomed, like cheat code on single players.

As the result, on youtube, those prestige COD gamers usually play on console, not pc. PC youtube video are usually bunch of mod or hack footage.

I have a PC that plays MW2 at like 90+ FPS IIRC. My mouse and keyboard combined cost about $10. I still win the majority of my matches.

You havent played many mods have you?

and to tc, you just noticed now that pc was superior to 5 year old hardware? although I do say, what they can get out of that hardware is pretty impressive.
