XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra 768 MB or Playstation 3?

Also lets look at what your getting for your money here

8800 - Video card.....

PS3 - Blu-Ray drive, Cell Processor, Memory card readers, 60gb HDD, the guarentee to play any game that comes out in it's lifetime without worrying about obtimization, wireless Controller etc. it makes sence from a value standpoint as well.

[QUOTE="a_ratchet_fan"]Cobrax, what are your comp specs? I think I've got a damn good set-up, but it's certainly not the best. Still, I barely paid more than $1,500 so I'm happy.

The Specs:

-680i SLI ATX motherboard
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
-Xi-Fi 7.1-enabled Sound-Card
-8800 GTX 768 MB (plan to get another one, hence the SLI motherboard)
-Dual Channel 2GB RAM

-61" 1080p HDTV (no purchase necessary as I already had it) :D
-800W PSU (obviously I'm going to have to upgrade this if I want SLI)

few people buys these very high end cards....its more so that Nvidia can say there cards are curently the best on the market.

and dont lie to yourself...no game looks as good as Crysis...let alone 10....

second...those games you listed dont look better only because of higher res. and more AAA....games like Oblivion and Lost planet look noticably better even at the same resolution. these new high end cards havent even had any games designed for them yet....once they do....the gap between the consoles and the PC will be huge.

His point was go for hte GTX and not the Ultra, because the Ultra doesn't provide that much of a performance increase....

All the of the impressions of GeoW PC said it looks much better. Doom3?:lol: It looked like absolute CRAP compared to the PC version. 10x as much games? Didn't we already go over that the PC gets the most AAA/AA/A games every generation? Wait until the end of 08 and onwards. PC games will start to destroy consoles in terms of visuals. There aren't even any true DX10 games yet. Not even Crysis is a true DX10 game. It's DX9 with DX10 features.

I havent actually played it all that much...but I can run it at 1680 by 1050 without any major slowdowns...but for RTS....you can play with a low framerate without a problem....I havent actualy tried any huge battles yet...so it may lag more their.

I heard that the newest patch increased performence by a ton...so if you dont have the patch yet...get it.

I'd wait. Save your money then get a PS3 and NVIDIA's 9 series this Autumn.Einhanderkiller

None of those games look as good as Crysis, technically speaking. It's using the most advanced game engine out there. It could be your opinion that it looks better, but technically nothing beats Crysis as of yet. Just remember, it could be my opinion that Halo2 looks better than Halo3. It's my opinion afterall! But guess what? No one gives a crap about your opinions here in SW. You have to use facts. Sorry, that's the way it is.

What do you think? Sorry for my inglish because i'm from Argentina.

If you have an HDTV, go for the PS3. Mine sort of collected dust for a few months, I'll admit, but now I'm freaking addicted. There are enough games out right now to keep you glued to the TV, and just think about a couple months down the line when Lair, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk etc. are out. /droooool

I will be buying a DX10 card too, but if I were you, I'd hold off until there are games worth playing on it. I've heard whispers that Crysis has some framerate/stutter issues, and I'm not plunking down $600 for one game unless I know it's absolutely worth it. I advise you to wait a few months for worthwhile DX10 games and the card prices to drop.

Btw, Maradona PWNS. Gogo Argentina.

not really...the PS3 will become obsolete too...the difference is...you cant do anything about it.

Which do you want more? Crysis or MGS4? Also consider when both come out. Crysis is this September and MGS4 will be early 2008 (most likely March). I would think it would be simple to make another $600 in that time by getting the GPU now.foxhound_fox

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.

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

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.

the games....no action adventure, fighters, sports, platformers, RPGs are better on consoles .....worth a damn on PC

[QUOTE="EPaul"]PS3 did u see the MGS4 Demo vid?xjet039

hes asking for an 8800 ultra if he plays splinter cell or crysis on that itll blow away mgs4.

If you are a hermit, get the graphics card

If console gaming is your cup of tea, get teh Ps3

:shock:

Sell your Xbox360, then get both the graphics card and the PS3.

Geforce 8800 ultra- To play the superior versions of all the Xbox360's best games- Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Gears of War

PS3- To play all the best next generation games exclusive to Sony- Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4, FF13, R&C3, White Knight Story.

Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, MGS4, FF13, R&C3, GT5, Unfamous... all they are not even using up a half of PS3's power. The 8800 Ultra will be able to play Xbox 360's games with slightly smoother. Therefore, it can't compare with PS3. I'm waiting the 9800Ultra that is true competitor with PS3.
