It's worth noting the Xbox is 3 years newer than Dreamcast in terms of hardware so naturally its more powerful, but DC was an absolute beast for its time and could hold its own against the PS2 graphically despite releasing 2 years earlier.

The DC couldn't really hold its own against the PS2 graphically, and it launched 1 year and 4 months earlier.

2 years. DC launched 1998 in Japan. Overall yes PS2 was a stronger machine but DC did do somethings better than PS2. Had better video memory and had much better textures than PS2. Grandia II one of the most famous examples. Looks worse on PS2. Ecco looks darker and more blurry on PS2. Dreamcast maxed at 3 million PPS with textures.lighting etc. Where a game like Racht and Clank was 6 million PPS and that was prob PS2 max with textures lighting etc.
