I'm sorry for the most part PC games don't look THAT much better than consoles..

Let me start off by saying that I don't have the most high-end PC.... I have Intel Extreme Core Duo overclocked too 3.6GHz... 4GB of Ram and a overclocked 8800Ultra... I have played Crysis maxed out with mods... There is no denying that game looks leaps and bounds better than any console game I've played which are most.

Last month I purchased a 50' Panasonic Plasma. The 3D version... Its one of the best TV's on the market... My rig bought in mid 2007 was purchased to have more or less the latest and greatest... For Crysis and too play WoW... I'm a avid WoW player.

So I did some testing of multiplatorm games.... Battlefield Bad Company 2, Assassins Creed 2, Fallout New Vegas, Call of Duty Black Ops... I bought Fallout New Vegas for the PC and rented the console version... I played the Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo back when it was running back in Feb... Assassins Creed 2 and Call of Duty Black Ops I used a friends Steam account to play on my rig...

Now I have to admit with the exception of Battlefield Bad Company 2 which ran hanky mainly cause my graphics card isnt the newest all the games looked better on the PC... Especially New Vegas looked a decent bit better... But I dont understand why people make it seem that PC games look drastically better than consoles games... Do they look better? Absolutely... Do they look as good as the hermits make them seem? No

From my experience there a few exception graphics showcases on the PC.... All the multiplatform games look better but not too the extreme of what I read on SW... Now this is personal preference I prefer to game on a couch with a controller in my hand on my huge TV.... So the slight downgrade isnt that big of a deal...

For me if it wasnt for my WoW addiction my PC would get no play.... I just want to know has anyone had any experiences like me... Not seeing this massive gap in graphics...

People do it alot. It seems odd that he can run crysis at max, but bc2 runs like crap.

:lol:

I feel like this is worth saying so:

Capability =/= reality

The argument here is that PC can be better in every way and its exclusive titles display that. As far as multiplats go it's a fairly small advantage that only hardcore gamers care about.

Bull shots..

I'm going to go with the TC is a lieing pos. I had a 8800gt with an intel core i7 920 with 8gb of ddr3 ram and I could get very close to maxing out the game (no AA and had to turn down things like shadows and I think textures, but I dont remember specifically). I installed some graphic mods as well and it became nearly unplayable. Bad company 2 on the otherhand I could easily max out with framerates constantly at 45 or higher.

My new gpu that I bought a couple of weeks ago (6870) can basically max out everything and is very nice.

BC2 runs like 120fps on my rig, Crysis runs like 30.JigglyWiggly_

I played on 1440x900 with everything turned on at around 25 to 30fps... Ur trying to disprove what im saying... But its not working... Look up some benchmarks... Im no PC expert... But I know what I played and what I saw and what my setting were...vistamanV5

Hold up... You playing in a mid res range (I do too at 1440x900 is a 19inch monitor) yet you are arguing so generally that PC gaming doesn't look that much better? Before anything continues, Have you ever played a PC game multiplatform on lets say a 1080p hdtv compared to a console game at 720p on the same tv? The difference even there is pretty big. Start to add in physics, textures, particle effects, glossy/smoothness, higher FPS, Directx10-11 and the difference can be astounding. That though all depends on developer.

Games such as Mafia 2, The Sabotuer, Just Casue 2, Bad Company 2 and even Lost Planet 2 comes to mind here.

1440x900 on a 50" TV? Hmmm. I suppose if I ran my games at 800x600 on my 19" (1440x900 native) LCD monitor, they'd look crappy too.

Yeah I don't get that.

Sort of on topic, TC, did you really max out Crysis and mod it with an 8800 Ultra? I'm surprised because when I had that card, I couldn't max it out at a decent frame rate, let alone with it modded on top of that. So overclocking really makes that much of a difference? If so, I might have my GTX260 and Core 2 Quad overclocked.

Not sure what you want me to say. I play my games maxed at 1920x1080 on my PC which is plugged into my TV, both of which are better then what you have listed and I see a pretty big gap.
