It is much easier to program for the 360. That's all there is too it. Devs don't spend the extra time to get more out of the ps3 because why should they? It looks relatively the same to the naked eye, the only difference you see is when there is a screenshot comparison like the one here. I too believe that exclusives are the only way to compare console to another. Sure it's a lot harder to do that but it gives a much better representation of what each console is capable of. I own both an Xbox 360 and a Playstation 3. A good friend of mine broke down all the tech details in a YouTube video for those of you interested. Watch all of the rounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fARdxkovMhQ
Just play the game. Yes graphics are pretty, but it's the actual game that counts. Tetris, Pacman, and Super Mario are all still fun to this very day..and guess what? 2d graphics. I agree that the PC graphics are the best but then again you have to pay around $2000 just to get a good gaming rig that will max all your games out. As for the PS3, I've played Fallout 3 and GTA4 and they don't look quite as bad as they do on here.. Especially GTA4. The 360 looks about right though. I own both consoles and a pretty decent gaming rig (Q6600 3.0ghz, 8800gt OC, 4gb Corsair DDR2 ram, X2 10,000rpm 160gb SATA hardrives, Nvidia 790i sli mobo, and a Rosewell 550watt PSU.) And I believe that some games are better for PC and some are better for consoles. Doesn't really matter to me =]
tra003, I dont think that Dell case would provide enough room for that card because it has the extra vents above the DVI/VGA hook-ups. I had a Dell Dimension E510 and I tried getting the same exact card and It didn't work out for me so I got the Nvidia 8600GTS and after replacing my PSU, It worked fine. I can play any game you can think of, Maxed out. I would reccomend that card. But if you are still going to stick with the 1950XT, Then I suggest you upgrade your PSU and get a bigger case. Because that card won't fit in the E520 Case. Sorry =/
Hey guys. For those of you who have been wondering about the 8600... I have a dual-core processor and a crappy 1gb of RAM. I use windows XP so I don't have any DX10 info..BUT . Here are the games that I can run maxed out on my system with the 8600GTS.. Call of Duty 2, Battlefield2142, Bioshock, Medal of Honor: Airborn (not maxed but high settings), FEAR, Quake 4, Oblivion, Dark Mesiah, and some other games that I can't remember right now, but all the games above are run on maxed settings except for MOD:Airborn with an average of 30fps. I run them on a resolution of 1024X786 because i have small monitor. But I hope that helps some of you who were wondering what the card could do with a low-spec system like mine. =D
coeboznia, Yes that card will work with a 350w PSU...My buddy has the card and he has a 305w PSU and his works fine... I just purchased that card as well. It shoots out some serious fps, man. Awesome card.
