Computer Graphics or Console Graphics

BaRoN NiGhT · 03-04-2005, 05:27 PM

Just a simple question, which are better?I don't know whether I'm right or wrong but it seems that graphics between these two aren't much different but how come with a lower specification, console games (such as PS) run faster? Is it true that console graphics beats computer graphics? Thx

Because consoles dont need to run OSs unlike PCs which takes ALOT of power [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Which have the best graphics depends entirely on the specs of the computer and waht console you're comparing with.

No. Consoles graphics are pretty crap in comparison with today's latest graphics cards (full spec Doom III, name me one game which comes close on a console)

Also, the speed of loading times has a lot to do with your computer, good ones have very fast loading times, which easily beat consoles.

It all depends on your system.

Chronicles of Riddick on XBOX easy matches Doom III on full specs, though it is the only game that would get even close.

Simple. PC. XBOX can only do lower res textures, and the highest they can do is 256x256, and PC's can do anything as long as you have the ram on the card to buffer it! Same for PS2.

Anyway, the XBOX uses the Nvidia NV20, which is quite outdated now in terms of PC cards on the market these days.

You can upgrade PC video, you cannot on a console. PC is just better, and you really can't compare them.

Trust me, Chronicles of Riddick:Escape from butcher bay looks every bit as good as Doom III.

lol, I think RoSs was pointing out that Hive accidentally typed Doom II rather than Doom III at first.

I'll trust you that Chronicles of Riddick looks as good as Doom 3, but I'll assume that most titles look better than Doom 2 nowdays hehe.
