By the end of the PS3 life cycle the PC will have games that make Crysis look like Mario64. 

No, $279, that's about the same as Wii. And the cheaper 8800 GT is coming in a week or two.  And considering most people already have a PC for everything else, you only need to put the card in and violá.

@ssj12: You got a 8400? As a stopgap I guess? Is it any good? :P

(and @ WEWdeadeye) 

There may not be a good reason to lock the fps, and while none of the other UT games  did so, this doesn't mean that they aren't:

From page 2, and I quote:

"There aren't a whole lot of options for graphics in the demo right now, but we did set the texture and world detail levels up to their peak at 5.  V-Sync was disabled though the game does have a 60 FPS lock on it so scores on the higher end cards are going to look closer than they might otherwise be. "

And WEWdeadeye, lol all you want, but bear in mind you are having a good old lol'ing at that site. That's all.

Myself, I'm waiting for the RV670 to come out, because I'll be damned if I crossfire two dustbuster 2900s in my whisper-quiet rig while consuming more electricity than a hair dryer. 

 Its a bit stronger then a 7600GT for quite a bit cheaper.

*pats on shoulder* ATI has become complete garbage just like AMD. They were both in the lead with their tech but now they suck and since they are the same company now they can drag eachother down. Intel QX9650 and Nvidia 9800GTX FTW!!!

You could've said the same about Intel when AMD were utterly destroying Intel with the Athlon series, or when ATI came out with the 9600.

This is technology, and they all have their ups and downs, but if the RV670 doesn't deliver, nor the 780, I will relegate my crossfire mb to home theater status and just get an SLI.

 Thanks for highlighting that, now I'll highlight the part you missed.  Isn't this fun!

I've already worked in Unreal 3 (not the demo) and the framerate wasn't locked. 

I agree with this, although i wouldn't put it that way.. I'll just say that of course the PS3 games will be looking better as time goes on, that happens with all consoles, but PCs will likewise continue to grow, but the difference is, PCs are without bounds as they can constantly be upgraded

 AMD has no chance in hell with the Phenom based Athlons and ATI disnt deliver with a single promiss with the HD2900XT and wont with the HD2900XTX or the R780 w/e that will really be called.
