no you dont know what your talking about, the ps3 GPU is just as good as the 360's GPU, UT3 started on the ps3 then is expected to be ported to the 360, you have to be blind to think that the 360 version will look almost the same. Im sorry but I have to say UT3 $hits on gears of war in the graphics department, and its the best looking ps3 game for this year, if not THE best looking game on any platform.

A major reason why gears and UT3 look so damn good is intensive use of pixel shaders. The 360 can use all of its 48 shaders as pixel shaders. The RSX in the PS3 is limited to 28 pixel shaders. Simple math would tell you that UT3 has the potential to look better on the 360 since Epic can do more of what makes the game look good. The common concensus is that the Xenos is better than the RSX. And its not as good as the 360 via its PC shoehorned into a console design, whereas the 360s GPU was custom designed for the console from the start.

Cliffy B said that if Epic were to do a second gears of war, then it would look noticibly better than the first.
