lol well this video confirms cell's 3.2 ghz powerpc single core isnt as powerful as my 2.0 ghz athlon 64 single core. quake 2 wasnt using cell's SPE's it was only using the ppe, the framerate would of been higher if it was using the spe's also, but higher than my pc? i dunno.You must be doing something wrong, the cell can do over 9000 frames per second.

A new account for SW, so everyone's going to be on their guard.
As far as teh Cell, every year that goes by, it's going to seem less and less imppressive.
However, the current Console graphics king is KZ2, so the Cell is doing something right.
Sure, KZ2 is no CRYSIS, but for a console...wow, what a looker.
So, we're going the "console" graphics king route again? Cool...The 360 just gained a few more exclusives.A new account for SW, so everyone's going to be on their guard.

Seriously, dude...The PC isn't in a world of it's own. It's a gaming platform just like the consoles. The PS3 isn't king of anything, at the moment.
Fanboys, and I'm not saying you are one, love to say "console" gaphics king, or "console" exclusive because their so desperate for their console to mean something. Don't fall into that catagory.

But that's mainly do to the architecture of the Cell, the low amount of RAM and the fact it can't use the RSX. I'm sure if they made quake 2 for running on the Cell it would have reached a lot higher fps. In PS3 games the Cell is doing a lot more compared to your Athlon CPU running a game, so I would think it's the programming that is the issue here.You must be doing something wrong, the cell can do over 9000 frames per second.

That route never left SW. "The 360 just gained exclusives?" What does that have to do with anything? Add any current CONSOLE game you want, KZ2 graphically bests your game choice. You are going on a tangent.
BTW : PC RULES! That's that, got it?
----------------
Let me get us back on track :
This is just like when GeoW was proclaimed the console graphics king (And it was, and it deserved the recognition), and while I respect my PC, it's okay to have a console comparison for graphics. GeoW deserves it. KZ2 Deserves it.
As far as fanboys, I don't care what they are up to, just like I don't care what famous people do. That's just a blanket statement.
"Supervillians like to eat hotdogs, and I'm not saying you are a supervillain, but don't fall into the category of hotdog eaters, you may be labelled."
I'm not desperate for my 360's, PC's, PS3's, Wii's, DS's, or PSP's to mean anything. Yes, Plural, because I have multiple 360's, and all the other machines mentioned.
The only desperation, is the fanboy's that can't admit when something isn't going their way...Like when all the cows bashed GeoW and the Unreal engine two years ago.
Oh well, sucks to be a fanboy.
---------------
You do realize that you are in a thread bashing the PS3's cell, meanwhile I can go in the livingroom and play KZ2 tonight. Obviously, there has to be a way to let the TC know that KZ2 is ARGUABLY the best looking console game right now, using the "Horrible Cell".
Why would you jump in this thread to quote me, when clearly you have all kinds of broken logic to play with against the Topic Creator?
The TC is a guy who is comparing a GPU and CPU against a CPU. Why not go after that guy?
Hmmmm...

No, talking about a console comparison doesn't assume PC means nothing. You are assuming that.
You are using the PC to gimp any argument about anything else. It's a comparison, that's life. You might not like that the Oscars compare the movies for that year to each other, but that's how it's done. You might not like being compared to your father, your buddy, or whatever, but comparison's happen. Happens to me too. Who cares.
You should have tried to stop this console graphics king back in the PS2-GC-Xbox days, because that train left the station a long time ago, and now I got you in late 2009 trying to rewrite what I've known years here in SW.
No thanks, no offense, but you aren't the Prez of SW just yet.
Changing the topic to the EXCLUSIVE ARGUEMENT isn't going to prove anything. That's a whole different issue, but you should know better though.
As far as the TC, I'm actually not as worried for him as I am for the posters that read misinformation.
IT's all good man, you'll get the hang of this place. You have 3000 posts, I got ove r20,000, so obviously I've been around the block more than you. You have experience though, for sure, it's just not comparable.
I've dealt with this place, and these threads a lot longer. Just you wait for Halo Reach and GeoW3 to be shown off, you'll see.
there is no such think as a console graphics kingMortalDecayyes there is. the only reason lemmings stopped wanting to talk about it is because they finally got trounced.
You must be doing something wrong, the cell can do over 9000 frames per second.
emorainbo
WHAT? 9000? :shock:
[QUOTE="MortalDecay"]there is no such think as a console graphics kingJandurinyes there is. the only reason lemmings stopped wanting to talk about it is because they finally got trounced.
That's definately true.
Of course, you can expect a 180 shift in this movement once GeoW3 or Halo Reach is finally shown off.
It's all cyclical. :)
I can't wait for all the pretty screenshots in all those future threads.
You can brag about all the stuff you have til your face turns blue. That still doesn't take away from the fact that there is no such think as a console graphics king. This assumes that the PC means nothing. It's just like the whole console exclusives don't exist, because then people are ignoring the PC versions of the game. Sure, there's a lot of broken logic in this thread. Some of it lies in your post, as well. I am not attaching TC, because he's obviously a troll. Everyone knows the cell is an great processor that is capable of a lot. Why give him the time of day? You should know better, though.[QUOTE="MortalDecay"]

When you say, "console graphics king" what does that say for the PC? When you say "console exclusive" what does that say about the PC? They are both the same argument. They both say, "forget the PC, and let's focus on the console I like". This isn't CONSOLE WARS. It's System Wars. Just when you thought people would know better...haha, i hate picture comparison threads. I can never tell which is supposed to look better :PI can't wait for all the pretty screenshots in all those future threads.

MEH Everyone knows the PC has the best potential graphics, so there's really no reason to talk about it. It has graphics far more in its corner than even exclusives.When you say, "console graphics king" what does that say for the PC? When you say "console exclusive" what does that say about the PC?

What does it say for PC?
The PC is the almighty powerful super graphics machine. All hail the PC. That's what it says. If someone doesn't understand how amazing a PC is, that's on them.
You basically don't want to talk about graphics unless it's about PC? What's the point? No discussion.
I can' compare basketball to football, Ford to Chevy, and Consoles if I want.
As far as the word exclusive, again, that's a whole different topic. I've been there done that, and there is no need to even talk about that.
I even mentioned the awesomeness of PC in my post, yet you still quoted me...

If that's the case, then SW is so far gone from reality that it's pretty much hopeless. Anyone that uses "console" graphics king is only fooling them self.do you even know why the PC is put in a different category than the consoles? The PC sees upgrades annually (in most cases), while with consoles, whatever or however the company made the console, that's how it's going to be until the next iteration of that console is released (in which in most cases, can and will take up to 5 years and better). Yeah, it's a system and shouldn't be totally counted out in System Wars, but it's not the exact same as a console though now is it, and comparing a PC to a console in every comparison is somewhat unfair. When talking library, the PC shouldn't be left out for any reason whatsoever, but when talking graphics and visuals, i can honestly see why the PC is categorized. The PC comes out with more powerful video cards every year, while consoles doesn't. The PC have nearly unlimited upgrade to it, while the consoles don't. It's totally not outlawed for comparisons do be done with strictly consoles, especially when dealing with visuals.

I'll probably get modded for this but people that are on their high horse about those types of things are real douche bags. No offense. We all know that the PC will always trump consoles in terms of graphics by a substantial margin after a certain amount of time has gone by. There is no reason to not let people compare games that are actually able to be compared and afterwards coming to a conclusion that decides which one is better for the type of hardware that it is on.
\Yeah, bolded part, that's all I was trying to say. :P
Bottom line is the cell is underpowered and outtdated. If it or the PS3 was so great by now it would have many games that look MUCH better i'm talking at the time almost £200 better than the xbox360 and apart from killzone and maybe uncharted which im sorry the xbox will match or beat one day it's not very impressive to me, I may pick one up now it's cheaper but it will be for blu ray not for exclusives im interested in that I can count on one hand.

Who said no one can compare games? Just because the term people have been using doesn't make sense, and I point it out, all of a sudden I am not letting people compare games? Nice way to turn this debate into a childish argument. It's nice to know there's people that resort to name calling when they don't like someone's opinion. Grow up.The cell is very powerful and that's why it's widely used in the supercomputing world for massive processing. The most powerful computer in the world today uses cell among its components. When you talk about the Cell and the PS3 you are talking about two different things. PS3 clusters are also widely used in supercomputing applications.Bottom line is the cell is underpowered and outtdated.

ok most people think it's out of date but ok...
Either way out of the box the PS3 should have had better graphics than the 360. It cost more money came out about 2 years later and nothing it had came close. For an extra £200 I would like to see the differance.
For example dreamcast vs ps2 graphically was tighter than most people will give credit for had the dreamcast had the lifespan it would have been pretty tight but probably a close second. Then out of the box gamecube looked far better graphically than PS2 and Xbox looked dramatically better than both you could actually see what you were getting for your money but this gen thats just not so imo anyway.

The ps3 came out being only $100 more, with the $499 sku compared to the $399 elite, with the elite not having bluray, wifi, rechargeable controllers and on and on. Not because it had some magical componants in it lol. And it came out only 1 year later, since MS wanted to launch a broken console onto the market without testing first. Also Uncharted came out 1 year after launch, took the crown from Geow and never looked back. Then mgs4 took it from uncharted, while the ps3 also launched Gt5p prior to Mgs4. Then KZ2 finally taking the crown from mgs4, while Geow2 never even got a mention for graphics from GS in 08 in its awards. Oh not to mention 30vs30 in R2, or 16vs16 in KZ2 online and never losing quality in its graphics. While to this day people still complain about posting online pics of Geow lol. Sorry dude, the 360 has been out for basically 4 years now and since the ps3 has launched its quality of games seems to get over looked now, cause it actually has competition now. Move on your still trying to live in the hey day of the 360, back in 05 and 06, U2 launched in Nov of 07 :)Wouldn't that be crazy hard to program for? I'm only guessing as I have no idea about all this tehcnical stuff. From what I "understand," developers don't like teh Cell's asymmetric nature... 4 PPU's and 32 SPU wounds way worse! I guess if the ratio to PPU to SPU is constant then it would be the same? Blah, I dunno.PS4 with 4 PPU's and 32 SPU's would be godlike with 4 gigs of ram
Classic24
Obviously Quake 2 doesn't support multi-threading, let alone multi-core.
So, yes, the main PPE on the Cell isn't really that much more powerful than an Athlon 64 of equivelent speed, or a single core from the Xenon.

You have been trying to pass it off as fact but since it is now your opinion I guess from now on 'console graphics king' will be ok.
And as for the last sentence in what I bolded, indeed bro, indeed.
