[QUOTE="marq4porsche"]Man said Uncharted 3 was graphics king. He opened himself up to PC ownage at that point. My card is no where near top of the line, heck it was midrange 2 years ago, but it can produce graphics that would burn both consoles. With that I'm running BF3 at mixed ultra through medium settings at over 30 fps, way higher than consoles can get. Even though the game does look great due to art design, technically speaking it is lacking in some areas. Textures are very flat for the geo their covering, the modeling while good could be more detailed. Rubble and stones look weird because there is no ambient occlusion to tie them properly into the environment. Overall the game needs better AA. That said Uncharted 3 does look gorgeous and I consider the series the only one I'm missing out on by not owning a PS3.

It is the graphics king,since when PC games get counted here as consoles ones,the problem i see is that PC gamers get offended by this,when sites actually give graphics awards to a console game was because it was impressive coming from a console,PC games are basically ignore,or not seen as impressive.?
A mid range card 2 years ago,is basically 2 or 3 generations ahead of what the PS3 and 360 had if not more.
The fact is that PC get not counte most of the time,because it gets new hardware all the time,you are not running BF3 on mid or max setting on a X1900 which is basically what the 360 has,you are running it on a far more advance GPU,even that it was mid range 2 years ago,and that is the reason PC games are not countend,and they probably never will.
I know the reasoning, but I believe that reasoning is flawed. If the game looks better it looks better. There is no denying that fact. PC games like BF3, TW2, C2 all came out this year and look better than anything on consoles. Just because the consoles have older hardware and are able to produce good but not great results doesn't mean they get the title of Graphics King. That title goes to the game that actually does improve and push the boundaries of gaming graphics overall. And that includes PC, consoles, handhelds, tablets, whatever. The way your logic goes means that we should consider 3DS games to be graphics king because they run on weaker hardware. Flawed logic huh.
