will my pc be grapically better than a ps3??

im getting

amd 6000+
seagate barracuda
ati radeon 4850
antec neoower psu

No. The PS3 is the ultimate gaming machine, surpassed by no other.
And Sony is the best company EVER!

*EDIT*
I apologize, I was temporarily possessed by a fanboy.
The answer was actually yes, but I would suggest doing a little more research to get the best quality components possible, within your budget.

the game looks better when you are playing it, im just talking graphics here, not controllers r anything

^+1 crap all over it, impossible to clean off

although i find it funny that consoles are labeled with "next-gen high def graphics" when pc have had much much more since the nvidia 7 series. i mean were in the GTX (10 series) now, waaay past a 7800GT.

Yes. It's been asked over 9000 times throughout the ages going way back at least 100 years ago.

You are right though, lots of PC games right now are lame console ports.

But not all hope is lost, Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 for PC was developed alongside the console, so it looks great on PC(Previous Capcom games where ported to PC by Ubisoft, and they where doing a **** job).

So there are some developers that care about the higher standards of the PC gaming community.

Yeah, the PS3 basically has a modified 7800 GTX with Rambus RAM for a GPU. The 1+ TFLOP number probably includes the triangle transformations rather than the raw shading power of the GPU. Not to mention the game systems are rather limited by the relatively small amount of RAM they have available.

We all remember that thread, I think the OP was run outta here on top of an old xbox, with the joy stick you know wheres

dagger, there ya go, usin up all of Toms BW again, heheh

Your computer will make a PS3 look like trash, at least in some games.

Not to mention EVERYTHING you're loading into memory comes off a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, rather than a faster transfer off a modern hard disk... Not like that matters as much when you're using old school hardware anyhow.

Cmon guys comparing a hd4850 to a 7800gtx thats like comparing a 4870x2 to a 9600gt at high res

Games, thats the real war between consoles resident you right. Lets go back to the xbox1 and ps2 era. The ps2 has loads of gigaflops enough to make todays processors blush but it sucks in the gpu department thats were the xbox1 stomp it. Just the fact that the ps2 had better games ppl consider it as the number one console.

Its just that every once in awhile, someone comes here and actually believes that consoles are superior in graphics, and it gets annoying, sorry for all the reactions, but if youre here long enough, youll see it again soon, and another round will have to go

They're probably running onboard gpu, like most computer illiterate people. So it actually would be better.

The people that play game with consoles would never play with PC.personally use my PC for gaming and I am prude of that.But do not close your eyes to the facts.the PS3 is much more powerful than what you call pc gaming,close your eyes to the names.If you have the money for buying 4870X2 in crossfire or 3way SLI go for it ,but if you dont have money like me,buy a PS3.

What do you mean the ps3 is more powerful then a pc ? Are you talking about the teraflops ? If so here you go http://www.gamersreports.com/forum [...] topic=7195

nba 2k9 on the ps3 is making me vomit everytime i see it. the jerseys, the floor, uh, its so so bland.

nba 2k9 on the PC on the otherhand is so worthwhile. i just got my 4850 this afternoon but i noticed that my 9600gt rendered 2k9 better than my 4850..im hoping a few driver tweaks can help me improve the image quality.

they actually ported crysis to the ps3?
one question: why bother?

LMAO.

[quotemsg=1885175,38,1667]Lion,

You don't know what you're talking about, and saying mouse vs joystick shows you don't know that you can use both on all 3 of the main solutions (PC, PS3, X360) you just need support from the game, not the hardware.............................

I thought the guys in tomshardware forum are professional, but I have to revival my opinion.First of all I never said that we tested the PS3 or 360 with a PC.And I never said that which one is better and just wrote my personal viewpoint.and as you said Whole of the games in the consoles do not support mouse and keyboard.
and at last I want to know that how many PCs did you setup and how many did you sell and how many did you test... so you attack persons opinion...

Dear TheGreatGrapeApe,

I think the gun is your hands, but the question is this : Do you have license?
you said : (posting that as either an ad or to add weight to your lack of strength in your words)
I say : We do not need to post in way that the guys in this forum think we are professional and we do not have any pretension.
We are talking about the electronic tools not about the guns and it is not the battlefield so be much more dispassionate and cool.
You did not help the poor guy who asked this question with your post.I did not see any weight words too like myself(as I said we do not have any pretension)

Hey TGGA you ok ?
12 Hours was long ago.

Sorry Mactronix, I forgot about it, and then most of my week was spent getting ready for the World Cup in Lake Louise (poor snow for the rest of us) so didn't really check back here much.

Lion, dude, I don't care man, and your PM'in me the same junk doesn't change that. Nor does my build/sell experience which simply equates you to that ASA seller or Best Buy employee, and doesn't lend any wieght to your statements, which are still myopic, even if you should know better.
