well since this is a video card based site, i was wondering if any of u guys have an idea of what graphics chip each console is usin(ex. a custom made graphics chip based on a 1300xt-1600xt or 7300GT - 7600GT). XBOX 360 is usin a ATi chip and PS3 is usin a nVIDIA, but im just wonderin..... would be kinda embarrasing if a console has a stronger video chip than yours...... thnx(i know i havent post on this site for a long time because well im livin the working life right now)....I'm happy to be back tho!

Well not much is known abt the console's graphics card(s).

Xbox 360:
- An un-named graphics chip @ 500Mhz
- Unified shaders
- 512Mb of GDDR3 @ 1400Mhz (unified memory)
- According to every major site, it has 48,000,000,000 shader operations per second. Quad-SLI has 48,000, but dosent have unified shaders.

Total floating point performance for the system - 1 TFlops.

PS3:
- RSX graphics chip @ 550Mhz (1.8 TFlops)
- More to come.. Nov 17th

Total floating point performance for the system - 2 TFlops.


Now u can get a little over 1 TFlops with SLI in PCs, so i have to give it to that in-human RSX graphics chip.

No, hes wrong.

Today's graphics cards are nothing compared to the PS3's insane RSX graphics chip wich can output 1.8TFlops, while the highest end card today can only output around 500TFlops.

Not to mention that its a console, so for the same hardware it has a lot more game performance than a PC.

Read what i wrote if u want to understand. Dont submit stupid posts that give no evidence. Obviously PCs are much more expensive, and yeh the GX2 dosent compare to the Xenon or RSX, if thats too hard for u to believe then just dont think abt it, but ur going to have to accept it.

Wow, that was so fun to read! I love it when PC are better then consoles.
Got anymore articles?

As for the argument.. idk wich is more powerfull, a PC with a 7900 GTX or an Xbox 360. For the price, the Xbox 360 wins it hands down, but i would have thought that the Xbox 360 was more powerfull. These tests dont mean that the Xbox 360 is weaker then a PC, there could be many reasons why these games dont look as good on the 360, even though they were created for the 360 (Oblivion for instence run so badly on the PC because it was created for the Xbox 360), but i guess these pictures speak for themselves.
