yea it's bad, but need to understand ps3 is a gimped piece of crap, and will never match xbox 360's power because of technical limitations.

It's not the CPU or GPU, it's the memory he's talking 'bout.

all, you need to know, XBOX360 CPU CAN USE 512 MB theroretically

PS3 CPU only has access to 256 mb.thereoretically

Why do you think fight night round 3 has 2d models on ps3 and 3d models on xbox 360? ps3 simply was gimped and ea had no choice but to take out 3d crowds and add some 2d to save memory because it needed more than 256 mb to handle all 3d crowds.

Ps3 will never ever beat, 360 in graphics i dont give a damn what anyones says i know it's technical problems, the casuals dont.

There is no use arguing with you. My 4 year old computer if this is true will be 5x as powerful as a ps3 because it's cpu has 1 gb ram.. It is the clocked speed that makes the ps3 so powerful.

I think the real question here is, why do care which one has better hardware? If you wanted to worry over that you should have become a PC gamer.

on my x1900xtx 512 mb video ram , and 1gb of  cpu main ram Quake 4 on ultra quality studders, if i add another 1gb for 2gb of main ram, the games butter smooth, main ram is just as important as video memory.

sorry bro, 360 later in future will be doing crap ps3 only dreamed of doing.

the arrows are a mess, but it's correct, CELL CAN ONLY ACCESS 256 MB OF IT'S DEDICATED XDR,

show me link proof anything cell can also access rsx's gddr3 for main memory.

ok better example, dreamcast 16 mb main ram, 8 mb video ram, ps2 4 mb video ram 32 mb main ram,

unreal tournament 1999 ran and looked better on ps2, why? because lack of main ram hurt dreamcast, they had to take out polygons and effects because it didnt have the main memory ps2 did, even with more video ram still had to be downgraded...so goes to show you main memory is more important than video memory basically.

[QUOTE="nextgengaming18"][QUOTE="MorisUkunRasik"][QUOTE="nextgengaming18"]There is no use arguing with you. My 4 year old computer if this is true will be 5x as powerful as a ps3 because it's cpu has 1 gb ram.. It is the clocked speed that makes the ps3 so powerful.bobobobodfwofof

my 3 year old setup is 10X better than a ps3 by those standards thats insan. Why did I buy a ps3 at all?!

He doesn't know what he is talking about. RAM for cpu is useless for videogames.. It isn't need for particle effects, animation, or physics.

LOL, BULLCRAP

on my x1900xtx 512 mb video ram , and 1gb of  cpu main ram Quake 4 on ultra quality studders, if i add another 1gb for 2gb of main ram, the games butter smooth, main ram is just as important as video memory.

You don't know what you are talking about.. Don't stae idiotic statements like this. If you upgrade 2gb main ram, you are also upgrading the speed. You don't need that much ram to play a game, higher ram will allow you to have more applications going on at the same time. It has no use at all for playing a game. THe gpu though will make a game look better if you upgrade it.

[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"]That picture is stupid, and just plain wrong. This is what happens when people who don't understand hardware use MS Paint.bobobobodfwofof

the arrows are a mess, but it's correct, CELL CAN ONLY ACCESS 256 MB OF IT'S DEDICATED XDR,

show me link proof anything cell can also access rsx's gddr3 for main memory.



Of course it can only directly access its own XDR RAM, that's not the point.  You don't need to directly access the GPU RAM, you just have the RSX read from the XDR (which it has plenty of bandwidth to) and then write to the GPU memory.  CPU's never have direct access to GPU memory, there's no reason for it to.  Even the Xenon in the 360 has to go through the Xenos to get to any memory, since the Xenos acts as a memory controller.

no, you dont know what you are talking about.

F.E.A.R ON MAX WITH 1GB OF RAM =STUDDERS WITH 2GB OF MAIN RAM, THE GAMES ALOT SMOOTHER, STUDDERS=WHEN YOU OPEN DOORS GAME FREEZES UP HAS TO LOAD STUFF FROM MEMORY.

im a pc gamer and done it all my life, i have ran f.e.a.r with 1gb of ram and 2gb, f.e.a.r and quake 4 on max with 1gb of system memory isnt even playable, 2gb of ram makes world of difference.

Oh well, Everyone said the same exact thing about the Saturn, because hardware-wise, it WAS more powerful than the PS1, but it had more than one processor, and most programmers are too lazy to try and work around it. Anyone who's seen the Shenmue developer user video on GS knows that had the time been invested to release this game on Saturn, it would've blown away anything PS1 could throw at it. But I can gladly say that I will beat anyone to the fact that yes, Saturn was a failure, but it also shows that any game system that has good developers working on it that know the architechture can make something brilliant. God of War 2? on wikipedia, it claims that it uses 99.3 percent utilization of the PS2's power, and I personally think that in time, when programmers get more familiarized with the PS3 hardware, the games are gonna be gorgeous, and I could care less what games look better on the 360, because it's not gonna make me sell my PS3 ever.

Consoles are very very very different from PC's.

ok better example, dreamcast 16 mb main ram, 8 mb video ram, ps2 4 mb video ram 32 mb main ram,

unreal tournament 1999 ran and looked better on ps2, why? because lack of main ram hurt dreamcast, they had to take out polygons and effects because it didnt have the main memory ps2 did, even with more video ram still had to be downgraded...so goes to show you main memory is more important than video memory basically.



The PS2 didn't have 4 MB of GPU RAM, it had 4 MB of embedded RAM in the GPU uses as a texture cache/framebuffer.  The 32 MB was shared between the CPU and GPU, giving it more total memory than the DC.Â
