As many have pointed out before. The PS3's memory architecture is the issue. it has only 256mb available to the CPU and 256mb available to GPU.
Niether can borrow from each other. Whereas a PC has alot more available. And the Cell is a long way behind current CPU's.

dood..... the system can use the XDR for graphics, just not the GDDR3 for the system, you've obviously read or remembered wrong.
|
There hasn't been a thread with essentially negative PS3 news in a while. He was just lurking in the shadows and pounced at the soonest opportunity to make the system not seem as good as it is lol
|
So answering his question with truth, is lurking ok.
Of course the PS3 version is gonna struggle next to the PC version.
PC architecture is far more advanced than PS3 4 years into PS3 life in 'all' areas.
I merely helped him to understand it's the lack of memory options on the console which is the issue.
Dont start a flamewar.

but cell dusn't give more memory?
|
CPUs by themselves usually don't have much memory.
|
ok got it. I thought sony sed ps3 was like a super computr. But they didnt put in enuf RAM
|
Ram is the main issue with the PS3, it's able to offset the older video chipset with the processing power that the Cell is able to excel in to provide good graphics with the RSX and good physics, but it would have been a much more powerful machine had they put in more memory for it. It's really just wasted power if you ask me, consoles have always been bottlenecked by memory, it's quiet retarded considering how cheap memory was even 5 years ago.
|
but PS3 was itslef expensive so more ram would have costed even more
and the games are still excelling
and do you have any idea how fast SSD's are compared to RAM?
|
Yes and no. If they would have ditched the XDR and went GDDR only, they could have included more total RAM at no additional cost.
|
yes but then what would have been there for the CPU
