XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra 768 MB or Playstation 3?

I have a Xbox 360 and a Pc with Core 2 duo, 2 GB ram, 160 GB hard drive and a Geforce 7300 GT and i thinking to buy a XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra for Crysis(and for another games)or Playstation 3 for Metal Gear 4 (and for another games). What do you think? Sorry for my inglish because i'm from Argentina.

Get an awesomley cool 8800 ultra.

PS3 is a way better deal.

Only if you have absolutely no clue that PC gaming exists and is superior in almost every way to consoles.

Your CPU's good enough, TC. Get that powerful video card so you can be ready for those sweet upcoming DX10 games, which will blow away anything on either the PS3 or 360. I have an 8800 GTX and that thing owns souls.

i have the best solution for you

sell the xbox360 and buy a ps3 and that videocard problem solved

95% of those xbox360 end up on pc anyway unless you are a halo fan ofcourse...

ps3 is in a really bad position for the future

pc will always have a future

8800ultra with ur specs blow away the ps3

thats a strong PC.....but your GPU is holding you back....upgrade now.cobrax25

You are aware of the fact that the least good core 2 duos aren't very good at all?.. Well cheap. but nothing "strong"....

Hey buddy! Thanks for YOUR opinion. I'm a PC gamer, and it is most definitely NOT superior in every way in my opinion.

This is sad but true, and I'm a 360/PC gamer, though I got the 360 several months beforehand. It's true that if you have a high-end PC or will have one soon, then yeah, the PS3 is probably a better alternative than 360. But ONLY because like he said, most 360 games do/will end up on PC, and usually (but not always) in superior form.

Get a GeForce 8800 GTX, bank the difference between the Ultra and the GTX, and get a PS3 in early 08.

Then again, this might be your only chance to get the EE in the PS3, so that's a consideration.

You'll probably need a new power supply, too. The Corsair ones listed above are great choices.

In what way are consoles superior than a high-end PC, pray tell? The price? You can do everything on a PC than you can do on a console, right down to hooking it up to an HDTV w/ surround and an Xbox 360 controller and sitting on your couch, gaming. A high-end PC is just a vastly superior and versatile piece of equipment. It just is. That's also why I've said in the past that while I understand the whole "multi-platform" deal and the PC being a platform, it still doesn't really belong in System Wars. I made the analogy oncethat it's like introducing a spaceship into an argument about the nicest car, and I think that fits.

Take the 8800.. Why? If he is interested in Crysis and company, get it! Cause that 7300 is bottlenecking your system like mad.Smakkjoo

thats what I was thinking.....The problem with his current system is the GPU...everything else is perfect.

take the 8800 but don't go with the ultra its kind of a rip off if you playing under 1900x1200 then just buy a 8800gts 640mb its way cheaper and not that much worse

I'd get a PS3 because other than crysis, what is there? Consoles give you more variety.MGS9150

That would just be mean. Crysis is more than enough for proper ownage, which is funny, since it's only one game. And since that's all that's needed around here, that's all they think the PC's got. Hilarious.

Superior how? The games.. simple as that in my case. You might not like them, but I happen to love console games. And I wasn't refering to the Hardware, of course PC hardware is superior - that doesn't matter to me, 360 and PS3 are very powerful console fully capable of delivering for years. My PC is around for more than gaming, so, I'll always have one... but the gaming on PC will never reach the consoles in terms of sales, and IMO quantity and quality.

Don't get me wrong however - Crysis is one of my most anticipated games, without a doubt.

Get the 9800 this fall.DarkBunnie

uhhhhhhh you mean the 8900?

get the gpu...but get the gtx version and OC to ultra speeds, to save money.

The 8800. Except, get a GTX instead, the ultra is far pricier but it has only a 10% boost in performance which you can squeeze out of any GTX with a little bit of overclocking. Or wait for the 9800 to be released this fall. :)Core0

got there before me...>:l
