[QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"][QUOTE="HeavenlySword75"]Why do most PS3 games have farther Draw Distances? And why does Gears of War choke on Cut Scenes and have horrible Draw Distance, same with Oblivion. These are Ram related. Why does GT:HD and F1 Championship and Motorstorm look so great? PS3 has 512 Ram and it has XDR ram that 360 does not have.HeavenlySword75The 360 has the MUCH better gpu and internal architecture. The XDR memory doesn't mean much if alot of the info is in a pagefile because the RAM is being used for the OS. Pagefiles are pathetically slow btw. The 360 uses patented procedural synthesis techniques to fit gigs worth of info into its RAM, which is much faster. Plus, this adds an extra bonus. Since the bandwidth is so large between the gpu and cpu, and since the cpu is feeding the gpu so much of its info, the Xenos stays almost 100% fed at all times... So far it does not show in the Games. Were looking at the games here and im not seeing any superiority in the GPU. Or is Xenon bottlenecking Xenos. Either way I havent see anything like F1 or GT:HD on 360 yet and its been out over 1 year. Gears of War is nothing special because of the horrible draw distance. Those games use real pictures as textures, which is the only reason that they look good. But walls, floors, and most other surfaces in PS3 games consist of flat planes with blurry textures attached. 360 LAUNCH games on the other hand had tiny little 3d details on every surface.
