So the PS3 wins?
« on: May 30, 2009, 01:24:33 PM »
Right... I'm a tad confused. I have a high-end kind of PC which can play just about every game on max
with the exception of Crysis.... because that would be stupid!

I was really happy with my PC, then I went to a friend's house who has a PS3 and a TV with 1080i resolution
and an HDMI cable connection. He plugged it in and put Mirror's edge on. I'm pretty sure my PC couldn't run
a game at that resolution and that speed to be honest.

My question is... doesn't resolution greatly slow down a game? So why can an inferior PS3 run a game at such an
amazing resolution on that lovely TV? Is it worth me getting a 1080i PC screen, since I'm a complete PC game geek?

I'm so confused. I also feel a bit ripped off.

The PC is having to do other things which will slow it down. The PS3 can focus its power on one thing because it doesn't have any games.

Delete everything from your PC but the games. You'll get better resolution than the PS3.

As funny as that is, it is full of logical fail. XD

I'm just saying I genuinely reckon my PC couldn't run the stuff
going on in that PS3. Apparently, the 8800GT along with the rest
of my rig is nearly twice as powerful as a PS3!

Delete your mind.

It'll be faster than the PS3 that way.

theres nothing wrong with owning a ps3. theyre actually quite handy if you have a large hi-res screen.
My only complaint is that the high def sound on a ps3 is a bit lacking if you are looking to be an audiophile while you are gaming
