Pc vs Consoles- From Nvidia

For all those wondering why current consoles would not be able to handle games like crysis in all it's glory

---------------------------------------------------

"It's absolute nonsense to think that consoles are at the cutting edge," said Roy Taylor, vice president of content relations at Nvidia, the world's biggest manufacturer of graphics cards.

"As good as consoles are, they are so far behind the PC gaming experience that there is no comparison.

Nvidia's latest high-end graphics cards, the 8800 series, can easily produce graphical effects that tax the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, such as motion blur, depth of field and volumetric smoke.

Mr Taylor said: "Fog, smoke or mist in games until now have been flat and don't respond to objects. Volumetric effects mean they are dynamic - a helicopter can now displace cloud or smoke, or a character can step through the fog realistically."

Nvidia provides the graphics grunt for the PlayStation 3, while rival ATI provides the imaging hardware for the Xbox 360.

Mr Taylor points out that the latest graphics cards can draw twice as many pixels, twice the screen resolution, as a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

This is getting boring. Hermits has been fighting us with their hardware for a long time now. Show us some mods and video game play of games being played at high in. The talk about higher graphics and posting them have gotten sooo booooorrinnnnng. :P Videos of high end game play please?

Bit of a no brainer that an ULTRA kicks the Xenos and RSX's arse all over the place.sadikovic

The Ultra not only kicks them but it spits on them, laughs at them, stomps on them, throws them around, and even with one arm tied behind its back **** slaps them to the next dimension.

Why can't his card max out Crysis in DX10 at a consistant framerate.Pro_wrestler

Because the game is demanding... doesn't make your console any better either since its s***** :|

Well the ultra also cost more than the price of an entire gaming console, so yeah...catlin_czirr

PC vs Console is like a 1969 Dodge Charger vs Geo Metro. You can't beat a HEMI. The console can't stand the onslaught the PC delivers.

This is nothing new, of course consoles are behind PC´s in terms of performance, have always been like that. Just glad I own a high end PC :) When that PC can´t deliever what I want I just get a new graphics card and in extreme case a new CPU, though CPU´s last longer.

"The PC is finally back up where it belongs," said Mr Diemer.

He added: "The innovation is happening on the PC; but that's always been the case."

As much as I back up that statement but it also goes to Nintendo for inventing the motion controls.

Who said anything about consoles being "better." With its ultra-realism Crysis still will fail at being the most beautiful game this gen.

Funny, Halo 3 got a 9.5 because its a good game despite it having "Bad graphics"...not because its some glorified tech demo. IGN.AU seems to agree since their score is a whole point lower than IGN's score of 9.4 which actually praised its graphics. They seem to look past its pretty unobtainable visuals and recognize its shallow unimaginative universe for what it is and thats average at best.

Ironic that people will call other this and than go and complain about the fact that they have to turn down settings in Crysis to play...if you don't care about the graphics so much than the system requirments of Crysis really shouldn't be that much of a problem...and on the gameplay the department Crysis is as amazing as its graphics.

Have you played the game? The gameplay of Crysis is better than the gtaphics it offers. halo 3 was a linear piece of garbage like most other shooters. Half life 2 was save by the far better story.

Bit of confusion at that second to last statement; are you saying a PS3 has a Nvidia in it or are you saying that they would grunt or growl at the PS3?

it's a ridiculous point to make, especially considering that the Xbox 360 was released in 2005, at which point it WAS comparable to PC hardware.

So from now on SW should be called System & Card Wars. SCW.

A PC isn't superior without its advanced gaming card.

I think someone should tell this guy that the 8800ultra can't run over 30fps in Crysis in DX10 at max settings. :lol:

I think someone should tell you that Crysis can't run at all on consoles.

Console games on SDTVs are super impressive looking.
