PC GPUs will catch and and spank the PS3 in folding at home soon.

Why Care? A single GPU costs almost as much as a PS3. And you still need a full computer around that, so at least the price of ANOTHER PS3, probably the cost of two PS3s if you build a solid machine around it. So I guess for hte cost of 3 Ps3's I could get 4 times the Ps3....

Actually, you can get a GPU which supports folding@home for $100. You can get a GPU which runs Crysis on high settings for a little bit more than that (less than $200 for sure).

Why did you build a post around BS numbers you pulled out of your ass?

 

 

Im sorry, I got a GeForce 8800 GT which is by far not a top of the line card and it was slightly over 200 dollars. I seriously doubt that cards less then 8800, like 8600s or lower are going to be doing much over the PS3 in folding operations, which I guess I could be wrong about, I seriously dont care about this enough to check.

However, he also brings up the new cards (4850/70), being what? 400 dollars minimum?

Either which way, I dont care. Really, only fanboys would care if PC's are able to out perform a console. Seriously, its been that way since the beginning. Who cares? Apparently you.

It's fantastic... One day, I get called a Wii fanboy, the other day a 360 fanboy, now I'm getting called a PC fanboy? And why, simply because I debunked your BS, which apparently even you were aware of. See the difference between your two posts in this thread, and how GPUs got much cheaper from one post to the other.

If you're going to post something like that, at least search for the benchmarks and prices. If you don't want to make the post accurate, why bother posting at all? You're misinforming everyone.

 

 

Im not calling you a fanboy, I just said apparently you care that the PC is more powerful than a console, you made the jump. Newsflash, my Home Stereo system is more powerful then my MP3 player.

Wait, check it out, my PS3 is more powerful than my PSP!!! Wait, my car is more powerful than my Bicycle.

Welcome to the world of obvious. Should I make a thread about each of those and post the mad statz?

The PC has been, and will almost certainly always be more powerful then consoles.

As for prices and benchmarks? Why do you feel the urge to point out something as insignicant as the fact that I picked the 9000 series of GeForce cards as my starting price point (300+ typically) to say that if you are building a computer to run that card you are spending 3 times as much as if you were to just buy a PS3. Which is the reason people buy Consoles, pay less and have a standardized platform for a long period of time.

Im still missing where what I said was so grossly innapropiate that you felt the need to attack me. The biggest point of my post, and the next post and THIS post is that THE PC HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE POWERFUL THEN HOME CONSOLES!
