In fact, the PS2 was faster than a PC.

Oh god I'm dying over here

Yeah, I remember all those PS2 games in 2000 running 1024x768 at 60FPS with real time shadows and lighting.

Fun fact, Nvidia made the PS2's GPU, of course they would talk it up. Now that the tables have turned with AMD locking them out of the console business, they attempt to take advantage of the masses naivety and claim this time it's different.

Just say these new consoles are weak as dirt because they are, that's good enough without additional bullshit.

Fun fact: Nvidia never made the PS2's GPU.

Huh, you're right, no idea why I thought that... Still, even back in the day I remember it was a really fucking awful GPU that was only decent at poly pushing.

Funfact: The PS2 was more powerful than the dreamcast so it was not the "weakest" at that generation. The GPU wasn't that bad it was also okay at pushing out pixels too plus the most powerful part about the PS2 were it's vector units VU0 and VU1.


Both were incredibly weak compared to PC GPUs of the time, and just lol at the PS2 GPU even being okay at pushing pixels, even the weak as fuck two year older DC trashed it in that regard by a factor of 4 to 1, let alone the PC GPUs running unreal 1024x768 at 60fps.

Funfact: If you were willing to call the PS2's GPU shit then the powerVR CLX2 is abysmal lol. Dreamcast is just absolutely weak in almost every metric. BTW PS2 pixel fillrate was about a third of PS3's.
