PC's will always have the best graphics- because they constantly evolve. Developers can put different quality settings for the various rigs out there. Not so true for consoles. Its just one configuration and just one setting. SO this comparison is silly. PC's will always rule high end graphics, HD consoles will always give you great graphics at a cheap price.

Your comparing consoles that were developed over 3 yrs ago. 3yrs is a lifetime In the PC graphics industry. would crysis run at 45-60 FPS @ 1080p on an athlon x2 with 2 gigs RAM and geforce 6 or maybe 7..

I didnt think so.

@vlad

Hd consoles: 360 core price at launch $ 299 vs $250 for the wii.. for 50 bucks you got a lot more visual juice.

Yeah and for you to get the 360 that was actually worth it it would cost a larger amount. Even MS is offering people a deals and ways to get more storage on their Arcades nowadays, meaning that a decently big sorage was necessary in the first place. My argument still stands, if anyone in this thread that has bitched about the cost of the PC and use that as their excuse as to why their HD console's graphics are worse than the PC, expect me to link this thread from now on. Any argument that goes against the Wii from the HD fanboys can go agaisnt them from the PC fanboys.

yea.. 399 for the HDD enabled xbox.. still cheaper than a PC. Your clearly missing the point of my argument. PC's ARE better graphically.because the hardware evolves every few months. As for crysis being all pretty. yes its awesome. But how powerful of a system do you need to play it at those beaut settings:

Here is a toms hardware article about building a "budget"gaming PC for a fairly cheap(for PC standards) $625.

How did crysis score at 1080P: around 20FPS(overclocked).. without AA

And a $1250+ PC ( thats the price of SIX XBOX 360 arcades):

Thats 30 FPS at 1080P

 

this is no excuse for consoles developed in 2005 to having "inferior" graphics.. if your gonna compare a 2005 BMW 5 series to a 2008 BMW M6 its common sense on which one is gonna trump at performance. But as the toms hardware article shows. even PC's above $1200 can barely manage to run crysis at those postcard perfect settings.

KZ2 looks quite nice and is comparable to crysis, although not the same level. Eventualy- atleast by the last year of PS3/360's life I would expect a title that would compare favourably with crysis. The current generation has another 3 yrs in it alteast. If you compare perfect dark with GOW2 you see a marked difference

Perfect dark zero (360 launch title)

Id say HD consoles are improving pretty well. Inspite of not having DX10 support or dollops of RAM.

 

 

Too bad those are only 720p (and some are less) and upscaled to 1080p,i know for a fact that the PC GPU can get about 30-40 fps with 720p upscaled to 1080p,and the consoles dont have REALY 1080p,they have upscaled because if they did have REAL 1080p they would get 10 fps while standing still...
