Once you see what PCs can do with same multiplatform games, with DX11 and tasselation, MSAA stuff...consoles are equal tech wise.

Against the PC, I agree. Equal footing techwise.


techwise my GTX480 is estimated at being about 7 times as strong as the 7800gtx that RSX is based on. So PC obviously has a good advantage. Lets ignore the GTX590 which would probably be like 12 times? lol

I wonder when emulation for PS3 titles will be possible.. even a dual-CPU Core i7 Ivy Bridge would have issues doing so... I think another two CPU cycles? GPU is basically there, CPU is lagging behind.

You got me thinking and I figured I'd do a comparison.

PC version on 1900x1200 with:

  • 4x Anti-Aliasing
  • 16x Anisotropic Filtering
  • All settings maxed out
    •

Gets 224 frames per second running GTX590

PS360 versions at 1024x600 with none of those settings gets 60 fps or less.

I am aware its like comparing apples to oranges but in real world application like this, GTX590 is processing 13.8 X more pixels per second than PS360. And that is not counting the AA and AF and much better details that the PC version is pushing and fact that CPU is probably the bottleneck on the PC version at 224 FPS (SLI GTX590s run it at same fps count).

So its safe to say that the current best video cards get ~15X better performance in a real life application (not theoretical) than the 5 year old gaming consoles. And they say next console gen won't be as big of a leap in graphics as before...
