[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"][QUOTE="obamanian"]And a mid-high DX10 prototype is way better than a mid-high DX9 card
With the unified shaders they have reported utilization of near 90-100% of the GPU, than 50-60% in DX9 cards case
Sorry, but 360 has a mid-high end card, not a low end one and has features that PC cards do not have, like the EDRAM and special feature like MEMEXPORT to the CPU and unified RAM
In short 360 architecture in general is vastly different than a PC one, and can't be compared in the slightest

The probleme is.. you have a prototype Dx10. So it only does a few Dx10 features... While a single 8800GT has full features of Dx10 and performance better.
You can only compare with 2-3years PC tech...
Today's PC have easily surpassed console performance. So saying it will look like 99% of PC version is a joke at best. Every multiplat looked better on PC... GTA4 is a great example of latest games that show the difference in visual power.
It will look 99% same, that is a given, it may run higher AA, resolutions and frame rates on PC, but on 360 will look about same in 30fps and 720p, the difference on a 720p HDTV will be minimal, maybe in a 1080p panel would be a bit more noticable, but still small
How many games you think really utimize a 8800GTX fully today ? Crysis is one, and none other, that is the reality, you may try to compare Xenos to a 8800GTX but in reality you should just compare games, since no developer makes games only for 8800GTX, the extra power only helps in better frame rates and resolutions today, and very few games are scalable and take really advantage of that hardware, for example few PC games looks as good as Fable 2, Gears 2, banjo 3 etc, in fact no PC RPG looks anyhwere close to Fable 2
Same for Alan Wake, it is made with 360 in mind, and with a 8800GTX will gain better AA, resolutions, frame rates and LOD distance, but that is as far as it goes, will look a bit better on PC, that is all you get from such games
BTW, I said a 8800GT... also, forgot to mention, they have PhysiX which console don't have.
Better resolution, image filtering, frames per second, textures, draw distance... you name it. And even if you have a 1080p, this game won't be native 1080p for consoles. Also, mod add-ons... just like Crysis.
You haven't played Stalker : Clear Sky? And not to mention every other multiplate games that I want to play full settings including Dx10 @ 1200p will 16xAA or more.
It will look better, just like GTA4 does. Every multiplate have provent to run and look better on PC... there's nothing to argue here... it's proven.
There's a reason why COD4 or Halo 3 is lower then 720p natively...
