I disagree with that. Crysis is the most physics intense game I have ever played. Without the Cell there is no way any current gen console could immitate what you get on PC. |
The physics would run on the 360s cpu fine. The requirements call for the least a pentium 4 2.8ghz. Now the graphics card is what is going to bring the 360 and ps3 down when they try to run crysis. Yes it does have good physics , but people are more wowed by the graphics, and that is what makes it harder to run. I would say the 360 could run crysis low-med and the ps3 without using the cell could run it on low. THe ps3 using the cell could probaly run it on med at most.

That's if you want to run it at 640x480 at all low settings.
You make me laugh, "The ps3 without using the cell could run it on low", let me ask you this, why would anyone try to make a game for the PS3 that doesn't use the Cell? And you seem to have this idea that 360 is more powerful than the PS3, again I will ask you to stop commenting on the power consoles, not just the PS3, but any of them since you obviously know nothing about console workings.

I was talking about using it for graphics production the way therealmafoo said. If you knew anything about pc games you would know most of them rely on the gpu to produce graphics rather than the cpu. The cpu is for everything else in the game , and operating system. You also forget that consoles have very little ram. Crysis needs about 2gbs ram in total when you add in the vram. Yes the ps3 and 360 may not be running an operating system in the back round , but even if you take away the ram used in the operating system about 512mb you still don't have enough to produce high quality textures that crysis has at above 1080p resolutions. |
With absolutely nothing running on my computer I only have 1.3GB of free RAM out of 2GB. And you're wrong, PC games are developed to use the CPU as much as GPU, because most PCs have better CPUs than GPUs, although newer games are becoming GPU heavy. I'd like to see a single core processor run Crysis on maximum settings. What operating system are you using? Did you end all useless processes in task manager. I have vista and only use 512mbs of ram being used. And you're wrong, PC games are developed to use the CPU as much as GPU, because most PCs have better CPUs than GPUs, although newer games are becoming GPU heavy. I'd like to see a single core processor run Crysis on maximum settings. No you are wrong. The graphics processing unit produces the graphics while the central processing unit processes Ai,Physics, and other things non game related such as the Operating system , and backround processes. THe cpu may help with some things, but the overall graphics production is made by the gpu. But again, the PC version has nothing to do with how it would run on a console, if you don't understand that consoles are vastly different than PC's in the way they run games, that's not my problem. The only major difference is PC's have an operating system , and processes running while consoles don't. That is the only major difference.
Regarding the ram issue, the PS3's ram is faster than any PC Ram you'll find, so not as much is needed.
I beleive gddr4 and gddr5 ram is faster. The ps3 only has 256mbs of XDR(the ram you stated) , and 256mbs of Gddr3. Now like fazz said bandwidth also has to be tooken into consideration.
Just listen to what I said, you don't know enough about the consoles to be claiming how powerful they are, and comparing them with PC's just proves it. Read what I said earlier about this.
