When will pc graphics start to really outpace console (this gen) graphics?

I can't believe you ppl are trying to compare Crysis to GT5... GT5 has barely ANY rendering to do besides the cars.. Have you actually looked at how bland the graphics are other than the cars? ITS HORRIBLE. Everything about Crysis is gorgeous.

Shoi is here basically raping all of you in this topic, yet you console fanbois are to blind to realize it, mainly because you are jealous you don't have a proper built pc. My 8800GTX still outplays my PS3, and I can notice it everyday I turn on a game.

I'll stick to L4D 1080p on my 50" plasma loaded from my PC anyday over the shitty ass port that was brought to 360.

I think your mistaking practicality for jealousy.  My main computer for instance (the one im typing on now) is a quad core with a 4890 that I primairly use for rendering I just got tired of DRM and installing crap and patching crap and my TV is better suited for the ps3 and 360 with a bunch of controllers than inviting a bunch of geeks over to huddle around my keyboard.  Honestly if I took my tower and brought it into the living room, my wife would declare me a lost cause and divorce my ass for lameness, we have a media center pc in there and she already thinks thats a bit over the geek line.  Crysis is actually the game that put the nail in PC gamings coffin for me, I was hyped..upgraded for it and found it to be nothing but eye candy as a game I can think of at least a dozen fps that are better story and gameplay wise.  I just dont get why pc gamers find it so hard to accept that others just dont care about pc gaming anymore...even more confounding is why when they are convinced they are superior, they still choose to go slumming on console sites to evangelize about why they think console gaming sucks, no one is going to change their mind, you will probably find most older console gamers are former PC gamers who just got tired of it and like the convenience of consoles even if the graphics "suck".
