OK! This isn't Metal Gear vs Crysis. I wanted to know exactly what a PS3 specs are compared to a PC.
Ex. the GPU on a XBOX is 'about' a hd 2600.
Btw I have to admit Metal Gear IS amazing. The visuals are GREAT and can be compared to Crysis and it runs on dated hardware unlike PC witch makes it more great. I still don't think it sould get a 10, I mean as much as the game is good, no game should get 10 because no game is perfect.

its a very tough question to answer really.
as an overall game performer...a good, solid core 2 duo, a geforce 8800GTS 512MB and 2GB of ram will run rings around the PS3. yes the cell has more threads but then the 8800 has way way more graphical grunt than the cell.
but trying to match it component for component is very difficult. the GPU is similar to a 7800GTX i think (with 256MB of its own ram). then the other 256MB of ram is XDR.
as for the cell....its hard to say really. theres nothing that can be directly compared to it. its made even harder to measure since the division of labour on a console os very different from a PC. on a PC its a case of "throw all graphics at the GPU and let the CPU do everything else" where as on consoles, the workload is shared...the CPU asists more with graphics.
but yeah....overall a good solid core 2 duo or quad, 2GB of ram and an 8800GTS 512MB will beat the PS3 in overall gaming performance.
