PC graphics vs Console graphics

ok, fine a bit of hyperbole there. Crashes do happen to everyone, regardless of tech savvyness but it's certainly not nigh unplayable or as big of a problem as many console enthusiasts like to paint it as. For the most part I haven't had any game with significant stability issues since Half Life 2 back in the day, and then I learned it was just some patch that valve released that actually screwed something up for me. I don't even have a good rig by todays standards and I still run games like bioshock just fine and better looking than on PS3 or 360.

I don't PC game anymore but I hang with a bunch of people who do. One of my friends last updated his rig in 2007 (a mild update from a 2006 rig) and the visuals on L4D, Bioshock, CoD4, etc. absolutely blow the PS3/360 out of the water.

It's not even funny. The differences are painfully obvious within seconds.

Really, some people should actually try their hand at PC gaming for a few years, learn the ins and outs of it, and read up on how to build a nice computer on a budget before spouting off this inane tripe.

 

Right on the money!

If you get the right gear after doing your research - I don't mean a few hours I mean real reaearch, so you innately know what to look for not just some benchmarks. You can get a beast of a setup minus a monitor for the price of a little bit more than a PS3....

You will have to build it yourself though.
