Ok xbox 360 has 512MB of total Ram including system and video ram.To get bioshock running on a PC with xbox 360 level of performance you need atleast 1256MB total Ram.You need 1GB system ram to max out the game in DX9 and 512Mb video ram for maximum settings.But 256MB VRAM and a good GPU will give you 360 level of performance.

Now guess what crysis only requires 1GB system ram to be maxed out in DX9.And some of the better 256MB cards can rune the game fine.It must be said though that IMO the ps3 and 360 GPU will be the limiting factor in crysis and not the processor or Ram.But since DX9 cards can run the game,then it can be done on the ps3 and 360.I dare anyone to prove me wrong and clearly crytek devs are lying about ram limitations or whatever.They should get an advice from 2K or something.This is the reason why i never take any devs word seriously.

It bothered me for some time that how come the 360 and ps3 have only 512MB of total Ram completely bottlenecking the systems.Well i guess the engineers at sony and MS knew more than me.

I'd seriously like to see somebody try that, FPS would be terrible if you could get in game at all. But seriously why should they get advice from 2k, do you actually think the levels in Bioshock and in Crysis are comparable?

What so wrong with that.Crytek and nvidia have an allaince and nvidia want to tell everybody that only their next $600 card will max out crysis.How can you expect crytek to say that game is possible on a console and ruining nvidia promotion of new cards.

The RAM on a console is shared between the CPU and the GPU, that's how they get such an efficient architecture. Thus, even without the OS RAM munch on a PC the total is still FAR above the consoles capablility.

I see even at the PC hardware discussion forum many people have misunderstanding about the ram needed in a gaming PC.

"We didn't experience any adverse affects from running our systems with 1GB of RAM aside from slightly longer load times. Frame rates didn't increase when we moved up the ladder to two and then three gigabytes of RAM."

if you need a 512mb gpu how could I can run it maxed out in dx9 on 7800gt? and the 360 version isn't as good as the pc version maxed out. did you miss the comparision?

At what resolution you running and how much AA.I dont think that you can surpass 360 performance with a 7800gt.And my bad you need 512MB ram to max out in DX10.

Your GPU is the limiting factor no matter what it is.

The ram is the problem, obviously to get the game looking its best you would need a more powerful gpu, but to make a decent port of crysis the only thing that really limits the 360 is ram.
