This is the video card people talk about that's marginally better than what the PS3 is capable of. It costs $400 in a market more competitive than consoles. It might come down faster (not guarenteed), but even then it costs more than $200 to meet the rest of the requirements to play Crysis on the PC. Pretty expensive game there, even if you bought everything you needed last year except the video card.

And for that, it's not much better than what the Ps3 is doing. Heck, the quotes regarding the game indicate that if the PS3 had a hard drive in it, it might be able to play Crysis. Imagine that. So all they'd have to do is tell it how to use information off of the hard drive and it may be possible.

 

LOL, good job picking one of the most expensive 8800s. You can GTS models for sub 300, then again it seems like you dont know that much about PC gaming. For starters, you do know the RSX is a tweaked 7800, right? Just look at comparos between the 7800 v 8800 if you think the difference is "marginal" for gaming. 

Not to mention the RSX has a total of 32 shaders whereas the 128. Yeah, a difference of 96 more shaders units is a pretty marginal difference, especially when those shaders can do more ops per second and effects the PS3 can only dream of. You want to compare even more specs.

And no, the Triple can't do crysis like the PC. How many times do people have to mention memory before you realize how anemic split 512mb is?

The point of this thread is debunking a myth that the Triple will pull of graphics equal to PCs. That would have been true 2 years ago, but no its nothing more than a pipe dream. But hell, if you want to live in a fantasy world where the Cell is capable of magic, than go ahead. Oh, and make sure you ignore Intels 45nm CPU this winter, along with K8l.
