Except almost all memory in any middle-andabove-end video card, of course.
Sure, consoles are quite different on certain aspects to PCs, but the most limiting factor on how would Crysis perform on consoles, this is memory bandwidth and size of it, is the easiest thing to compare between PCs and consoles. Don't forget that Crysis not only asks for 2GB of system memory, it asks for at least 256MB of dedicated video memory. AT LEAST. Not to mention the thing I mentioned about speed. A GeForce 8800GTX has a bandwidth of over 80GB/s. That's almost 400% the bandwidth of the memories of 360/PS3, be them video or main. And even in that case it struggles. And no, I'm not saying that it couldn't be done on consoles. |
The PS3's 256MB of ram runs at 3.2GHz please show me a stick of ram I can use in my computer that runs at that speed.... I would love it!
|
Yeah, 3.2Ghz at 8 bit bandwidth, that puts it at around 20GB/s again.
And sure, with DDR2 you can only get around 16GB/s bandwidth on PC for system RAM, but 5GB/s is a much lesser difference compared to a 100GB/s difference, comparing any RAM on console to video RAM on PC. |
I would like to add that he is wrong about it being the fastest in clock speed too. The fastest ram is GDDR5 clocked at 6GHZ.

Like I said, hit me up with a link so I can buy it for my PC. |
Ok, this memory kit provides your PC with 2GB of DDR3 system RAM at 25.6GB/s... exactly the same bandwidth of the PS3's XDR RAM ^_^
This has got too much out of topic I think.
