For all the years I've been gaming, all I cared about was that my console plays games.
Now in this gen, there's all this tech talk that the devs talk and users talk about regarding the PS3, X360, PC, etc and I want to know what they're talking about. But the thing is, I know NOTHING about Console Tech so I have no clue what they say.
So if you know a lot of this stuff, could you help me out by answering my questions? Here are some of my questions below:
What is 30 fps vs 60 fps? Why does framerate matter when it comes to graphics? I hear devs talk how games will look better at 30 fps than 60 fps. For example, John Carmack said that Rage runs at 60 fps but Doom 4 will look much better because it's 30 fps.
I don't know how high PC game framerates can go but I hear that 120 fps is possible? Why can't Consoles have the same tech as PCs?
What's a CPU and GPU?
What's the Cell in the PS3?
What's the difference between pre rendered and in game scenes?
These might seem simple questions but I don't know anything about this stuff. Like literally nothing. I may not be a dumbass when it comes to general knowledge, academics, etc but I've just never been able to find out what all this console tech stuff is.
So if you could help me out, it'll be greatly apprciated
