IS PS3 graphically more advanced?-I have facts and links to back this up

What I can't believe is that you 360 fanboys still praise microsoft after they push all this kinect crap. I mean disneyland, sesame street. They should have called it the F-BOX for... you know family box. The only game they showed at e3 was Gearsguitarrocker13

I do have a technical background and in that video and another video i had as a link they said PS3 has more potential but only first party devs can get that. Go to the PS3 confined to prosperous exclusives and watch that video.

"More potential" for basic ADD-MUL GFLOPs, but it doesn't factor in the complex fix functions instructions e.g. DX10/AMD Xenos's single cycle 3DC+ texture compression format decoding hardware.PS3's "more potential" gets wasted on RSX/G70's hardware caveats or limitations e.g. refer to to my NVIDIA RSX/G7X limitation post.

This is one reasons why Direct3D based GPU hardware gets upgraded i.e. gains additional hardware functions e.g. new texture compression formats such as BC6(HDR textures) and BC7(LDR textures), hull shaders and domain shaders (i.e. these are single pass steps for before and after tessellation stage).

SPE's insturction set is based on PowerPC's Altivec/VMX.

It appears the arguement you created this thread for has gone absolutely nowhere so now you're just lashing out at anything you can.

Here's a question for you since you dont want to keep your thread on topic. What has Sony done for you that you praise their products and feel the need to put down the oppositions products?.

I think you are talking about C2 The beginning of crysis 2 the graphics were awesome but it slowly got worse as it went on

Anyways, back in 2006 people ( like CNET) looked at both systems and said that ps3 was a bit more advanced graphically. All im saying is its easy to see what has more potential with a look under the hoodguitarrocker13

people on that forum are even laughing about how a few reviewers thought it was a new leader, and they compared it to quake 3

BTW here is kz3- which gameinformer said was the best graphically---

sorry, but crysis 2 on the 360 is now the best looking console game.

Eurogamer:
"But it is a world whose intricacy and realism will cause you to stop and stare long after the first drop of the jaw. The sway of tree-tops; the spray of a decorative fountain; the flames erupting from a burst gas pipe: incidental details that grab your attention for their quiet, shocking realism. Who knows how Crytek managed to squeeze Cry Engine 3 onto the consoles while maintaining such extraordinary level of detail? But this world sits next to Uncharted 2's as the most detailed and well-expressed yet seen on our TVs."

1up: Crysis 2 is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, even on PS3 and 360.
http://www.1up.com/reviews/crysis-2-review

gamezone: The game looks utterly stunning and is arguably one of the best-looking shooters on consoles. I'm still undecided whether Crysis 2 looks better than the original game, but the fact that there is a discussion about which looks better speaks volumes on what Crytek was able to accomplish with their engine.
http://xbox.gamezone.com/reviews/item/crysis_2/

videogamer: It might come up slightly short compared to Killzone 3 in raw mettle, with an occasionally inconsistent framerate on our PS3 version, but the game is leagues ahead in terms of artistic accomplishment.

strategyinformer: Crysis 2 is bloody gorgeous, and by far one of the most polished games we've ever played. Watching the cityscape come crashing down around you in all its HD glory is quite the sight, especially in some of the more open areas midway through the main campaign. Whether you've diving across rooftops or making your way into the heart of an alien hive, it's all jaw-dropping throughout.

gamerevolution: Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)

metro: Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.

There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small
but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches; especially outside of combat scenarios,
the game just seems to run that much more smoothly

The PS3 has the same graphics card as my 7 year old computer. I'm not even joking around. ModernSnivy

It has similar GPU as Geforce 7900M GTX (i.e. 500Mhz G71 with the same shader model) with 6 usable (for userland programs) SPEs which are based on PowerPC's Altivec instruction set. PS3 has Intel Atom like CPU core i.e. IBM PPE. Both SPE and PowerPC uses FMA3 format (3 operands).

AMD Bulldozer uses the superior FMA4 format (4 operands).

Unlike Geforce 7900M GTX, RSX's raster performance is on par with Geforce 7600/7700 e.g. 8 ROPs connected to 128bit GDDR3 external bus.

There's nothing magical about PS3.

[QUOTE="PAL360"]

Overhype is never a good thing! Remember when only PS3 was able to handle Uncharted 2 graphics....or handle 16 cars on track with GT5 graphics? cof cof gears 3 cof forza 4 cof... :P

gamecubepad

Let's go back even further. "360 could never handle MGS4":shock:

i remember "360 could never handle ghostbusters." and then it went multiplat :lol:

[QUOTE="1stPlaceWinner"][QUOTE="kalipekona"]

Actually devs have not said this. Basically first party Sony devs have said this. Other than that there have been a few devs that have said the 360 was more powerful and a few that said the PS3 was, but the vast majority of devs have said that they are essentially extremely close in overall power.

kalipekona

Actually, if you had any technical background and understood what Carmack actually said you would know that it is exactly the opposite. He plainly believes that the 360 is more powerful in the real world. He makes it quite clear that the 360 wins in many key areas such as GPU and memory, and that the PS3 only theoretically wins in the CPU. He emphasized that there is a big difference between what's possible in theory and what's possible in reality. Given an infinite amount of time the PS3's CPU has a higher theoretical peak performance, but given a finite amount of time even in the area of CPU the 360 gives better results. Remember, development time is NEVER infinite.

Many developers have expressed frustration with even getting the PS3 versions of their games on par with the 360 versions.

No he said it's more owerful as far as raw power goes

What I can't believe is that you 360 fanboys still praise microsoft after they push all this kinect crap. I mean disneyland, sesame street. They should have called it the F-BOX for... you know family box. The only game they showed at e3 was Gearsguitarrocker13

What does MS moves and kinect have to do with 360 and PS3 capabilities?

wahhhh!! how dare people like teh xbox!! don't they care about how i feel!??! :cry:

[QUOTE="casharmy"]

GOW 3 is still the best looking game on consoles not Crysis 2 (sub-hd and full of grpahical and proformance defects) or UC2 despite how good it looks. All talk about UC3 and Gears 3 is desperation becaues neither of those games are out.

Fact is GOW3 still hasn't been surpassed for it's amazing graphics on consoles and it's is a PS3 exclusive. fact is crysis 2 and Killzone 3 are about on par as far as graphics are concerned but Crysis 2 has far more graphical problems than KZ3 does which is amusing seeing all these people trying so hard to get othersto accept it as the best graphical game. lol what's the agenda?

kalipekona

What's your agenda in trying to get people to believe that God of War 3 is the best looking console game? I flat out don't agree with that. I have beat GOW3 and got most of the trophies for it, but I never thought it was even the best looking PS3 game, let alone the best looking game on consoles. Uncharted 2 was easily the more visually impressive game to me.

God of War 3 has many low res textures, non-coherent lighting, and fixed camera angles that prevent you from getting up close to the textures and also reduce the amount of geometry that has to be rendered. A good deal of what makes that game visually enjoyable is the art direction.

why you jumpin all on me bro? it's my opinion.

UC2 isn't better it looks great but don't top GOW3 and nothing else dose either. I aint got no agenda bud it's pretty easy to tell I was compairing Crysis 2 to KZ3. What looks BETTER than GOW3 on consoles--lol Crysis with it's graphical glitches and sub-hd resolution?

The fact that one of the reviewers said it looks as good as crysis is funny, also most of them said it one of the better looking games. Also lots of reviewers said the same thing about KZ3guitarrocker13

lets not make stuff up now, friend. ;) at least post some links to back up your claim.

i'm not sure why you keep saying that reviewers said the same thing about kz3, considering that cyrsis 2 got a lot more acclaims for top console graphics, and it came out AFTER kz3.

here, let me make this easier to understand. when game B comes out after game A and takes the title of console graphics king from game A, then game A is no longer considered the console graphics king.

get it? :lol:

Here is another link about ps3's graphics http://gamer.blorge.com/2010/01/05/ps3-smoothing-beyond-that-of-high-end-pc-graphics-card/

DF said the cell can do things high end pc's can't do.

I love how his first link contradicts his title. Carmack says Sony went for peak performance but made it practically less optimal, he literally says "Sony made a mistake" regarding the Cell architecture. Oh SW, always good for a laugh. themyth01

this is not the first time this happened :lol:

if the 360 visually looks better than thats what it is na mean........that dont mean tha ps3 is weak, they exclusives just look better

[QUOTE="guitarrocker13"]if you read the whole thing it says 360 can do 4x AA while PS3 can do over 16x MSAAFizzman

lmao.

nuff said

AA is good for taking pretty screenshot's about it, it's not something u want enabled during competitive online play.HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

Also in the article----- the Cell processor is cutting edge stuff. The Cell in conjunction with the GPU is capable of squeezing out 2.0 trillion floating point operations per second on the fly, which is super-computer worthy and out performs the Xbox 360’s 355 billion floating operation points/second. This is the type of tech running on the latest IBM Blades residing in our maximum security data centers near DC.

I didn't think there were this many Fakeboys in SW , the things the "cows" are saying in this thread just shows why there the most despised group. So rediculous to the point they must be fakeboys, just embarrasing.

You dont have a PS3 also if you read the article it says PS3 can do more advanced AA then a high end pcguitarrocker13
