You got that reversed. The article even says its the 360 and all the preview pics are the 360 version

I was looking for more games that use it rahter than an explanation, lol...

+100!!! Awesome post.

Latency is hugely important when rendering in real time. A game rendered at 30fps only has about 3 miliseconds to render each frame.

@Squilliam That's some interesting arithemtic there. Which Algebraic Manifold are you operating on again?

That was in response to a guy who said MGS4 runs at a higher resolution than Gears

So once again you dont have a point

 Anti-aliasing
See Aliasing. Anti-aliasing is a single or multiple method of removing the noticeable effects of aliasing. These days it often just is called FSAA (Full Scene Anti-Aliasing) and various manufacturers have their own way of performing anti-aliasing. Texture aliasing is reduced by the process of texture filtering but for edges and lines, the two most popular methods are:

• Supersampling: there are various implementations of this method. One is where the graphics adapter renders the entire scene at an increased resolution into a non-visible buffer in the local memory. The adapter then samples this frame into the back buffer, and once complete it is flipped to the front buffer. Another method is to render several copies of the same frame over several passes, adjusting the geometry of each successive copy, and then sampling each stored frame into the back buffer. Both methods require lots of fill rate and memory bandwidth to be effective.
• Multisampling: the DirectX version of this anti-aliasing method is similar to the OpenGL multi-sampling anti-aliasing, but the term is used in various ways by different companies. Although it is described as being an example of FSAA, multisampling only affects the edges of the polygons within a frame; no texture detail is affected (unlike supersampling). This is done by testing the frame before it is textured; each pixel is checked and those at a visible polygon edge are then sampled into a new buffer. Once complete, the frame is updated within the pass by blended all of the samples from the various buffers into the back buffer. Multisampling requires lots of memory bandwidth to be effective but since pixel colours and operations are only performed once, this method is not as dependent on fill rate.

There are several other methods too, which each one having its good and bad points.

Ok not what you want but you made me look and then I realized that isn't what you want.

Lol again, I know whaw FSAA and MSAA are but I was looking for more games that trends to use motion blur to hide the lack of use of some form of AA, so far I can recall DMC4... Thanks...

@FJ-Warez Sorry misunderstanding. AA predates this decade in most PC games. Don't know about console games, there might not have been a point as you get free blur from a coax cable to a NTSC tv. I suspect most of the xbox and ps3 games all have some form of AA though, as I've noticed a dirge of voxel and nurb games lately.

The games don't show ANYTHING conclusively other than development issues...especially since PS3 exclusives are smokin'.   In my opinion, the small difference in GPUs doesn't counterbalance the better physics and AI capabilities, mandatory hard drive, and storage capacity of PS3.  Granted, it takes some effort to bring those first two differences out.  I usually buy console exclusives, though, and that's part of it.

I remember a developer saying early on that the systems would probably be about equivalent in terms of the "looks" of their graphical output, but that PS3 would end up being able to have more stuff going on onscreen at once.  I definitely think that things will turn out just about like that.

On another note: what site was doing 4-game on 4-game head-to-head comparisons...last I checked, PS3 was winning most of them.  CoD4 PS3 got the nod over CoD4 360, for instance, in part because online gameplay is smoother over the PSN.
