  • Um what the fuk has the gpu got to do with with video? This is the raw cpu power alone people. The 360 standard tri core wouldnt be able to handle this thats for sure.

  • IF you think that this is good than you should look at Demon Chaos...

  • HAHAHAHHHA I know its unfair but look at the new 3dmark11 benchmark the 'physics' aspect

  • i can do this on my shit laptop

  • @yoyoboy70 no you wont you dick head.

  • Why are people always arguing on videos like this?

  • @flubbeflabber because everyones an idiot nowadays. just play the games it doesn't matter what you play them on. used to be a fanboy... it sucks just wasting time argueing so i wuit and i just game now!

  • @EurZa I intend on playing more than solitaire on my gaming console.

  • @EurZa

    HAHAHA!

    Are you fucking kidding me you fucking moron!?

  • @puppett11 No, he isnt kidding. You wont get a gaming machine but you will get a good computer. My computer cost $400 three years ago, and can still play most games at mid settings at playable framerates. That suits allot of people. :)

  • To all the people saying

    "oooooh but PC is better"

    No shit its better, the PS3 is five fucking years old, what the hell is wrong with you people? People who say this is old news for PC, this is old news for PS3; look at the date of the video.

    The whole reason I never got into PC gaming is because of trolls like you people.

  • @StedySniper well then you certainly are a retard. What a stupid reason. Do you actually think anyone would give a shit if you didn't game on a pc? haha

  • @StedySniper

    in fact playstation3 had around 200 gflops of graphics power when it was released. Nvidia's (or ATI for the matter) high end cards were not as powerful back then. Even today many average pcs out there are less powerful than the play 3.

  • @pterodactilo It has more than 200 gigaflops.

    The Cell has a theoretical performance of ABOUT 218 gigaflops.

    But the Cell and the RSX together I think is about 2 teraflops.

  • @essboarder23 On the PS3, Cell has a peak performance of 179.2 GFLOPS (1 PPE + 6 SPEs * 25.6 GFLOPS), while RSX has a peak of 364 GFLOPS. Together, that's a maximum of 543.2 GigaFLOPS only.

    Your 2 TFLOPS figure is nothing but ridiculous.

  • @NewLynxChannel If you're true, then thanks for the correction.

    i' guess I'll have to recheck my sources

  • @essboarder23 But beware that Sony does advertise the PS3 as having 218 GFLOPS from Cell and 1.8 TFLOPS from RSX. I don't know what calculation Sony did to get those numbers, but they are definitely incorrect. Like I said, for Cell it's 7 * 25.6 = 179.2 GFLOPS. For RSX, to me it would be (27*24+10*8)*550 = 400.4 GFLOPS, but it seems that the consensual value around the web is 364. I don't know what calculation they did to get that number either...

  • @NewLynxChannel Did you do the calculations yourself? (I saw the ≈170 GFLOPS from wiki), or is there a source that you used as a reference to get your numbers? Because this is the first time I've heard those numbers for the FLOPs of the Cell/RSX with a logical example.

  • @essboarder23 Yes, of course. IBM documentation on Cell exaplains that the PPE, as well as each SPE, achieves a peak of 25.6 GFLOPS.

    As for RSX, I've seen a whitepaper comparing some of NVIDIA processors a while ago (don't remember where, sorry). The G70 chip RSX uses has 24 pixel shaders that make 27 FLOPS per cycle, 8 vertex shaders that make 10 FLOPS per cycle, and is clocked at 550 MHz (550 million cycles per second). That makes (24*27+8*10) * 550 MHz = 400400 MFLOPS or 400.4 GFLOPS.

  • @NewLynxChannel What about the Xbox 360 Xenon/Xenos?

  • @essboarder23 Xenon cores are based on the exact same unit as Cell's PPE, so since it has three cores, that's 3 * 25.6 GFLOPS = 76.8 GFLOPS. As for Xenos, the only source of information I have about its FLOPS performance is Wikipedia. According to it, it's 48 unified shaders * 10 FLOPS per cycle * 500 MHz = 240 GFLOPS.

  • @NewLynxChannel Is it possible Sony is doing 8*25.6?

    Because there are 8 SPEs but only 6 is used for games and 1 is used for the XMB (so technically 7 SPEs)

    And there is also the PPE which can do 25.6 GFLOPS with single precision operations like the SPEs.

    So is it possible its

    (1 PPE+7 SPES)*25.6 GFLOPS= 204.8 GFLOPS.

    And 204 GFLOPS I've heard a lot on forums

  • @NewLynxChannel And I've been looking more into the GPU, it says it can do 5 ALU operations per pipeline, per cycle for the 24 pixel shader pipelines. And it can do 2 ALU operations per pipeline, per cycle for the 8 vertex pipelines. And THEN it says 27 flops per pipeline, PER CYLE for the pixel shader pipelines. And 10 flops per pipeline, PER CYCLE for the vertex pipelines.

  • @NewLynxChannel And continuing on the GPU, isn't the equation

    [(24 pixel shader pipelines*5 ALU operations*27 FLOPS)+(8 vertex pipelines*2 ALU operations*10 FLOPS)]*550 MHz= 1 870 000 MFLOPS ≈ 1.8 TFLOPS

  • @essboarder23 As for Cell, it is common to see the 204.8 GFLOPS number, but most people forget that one of the seven SPEs is reserved for XMB and therefore does not contribute to performance in games.

    As for the GPU, you should not multiply ALU operations and floating-point operations, they are not related that way. Each pixel shader either performs 27 floating-point operations OR operates as up to 5 ALUs.

    Now that you mentioned, though, it seems like Sony did do this.

  • @NewLynxChannel Just wondering, are do you know a LOT about 360 vs ps3 hardware?

  • @essboarder23 I'm amazed by how we can use simulate whole worlds with our computer hardware and I'm just curious about how it works, so I research quite a bit... But it's just a hobby though, I don't work with or study anything on that area.

  • @StedySniper The PS3 is still very powerful and you have still have to spend way more money to get the same graphics from a PC vs. the PS3

  • @FeeLtheHertZ Actually, a $80 graphics card (Radeon HD5670 or GeForce GT240) is already enough to get better graphics than a PS3.

  • @StedySniper

    you never got into enjoying high quality games because of what other people write? lol, dude......

  • @EurZa U know what? Fuck you! I just don't have the fucking money too spend on a 1000 dollar computer! So take your thousand dollar computer, and shove it.

  • @EurZa haha u dumbass. ;)

  • @amgl550 He is not. The PC creates your games!!. If you had a high end PC with a couple large 3D  monitor you would never touch your controller again. Pc and console are not in same category Sir.

  • power of the cell :D

  • STOP SPAMMING THE COMMENT SPACE YA DICKS!!!

  • wow....cubes

  • Consoles fail.... Computer win. This is uber old news for computers.

  • the PS3 has no games.

  • @1schwererziehbar1 your a little out of date if your saying that

  • @1schwererziehbar1 yeah, i think you missed pretty much all of E3

  • @1schwererziehbar1 umm yes it does, take killzone 2&3 witch are the best fps games well killzone 3 will be when it comes.

  • @enzo12ify1 They're colorless crap with crappy physics. Not the best FPS games, you're just too poor to buy a PC and play some nicer games.

  • @RaZoRFinnish thats funny cos im gonna get a tesla s1070 for my pc around august  next year so umm no im not poor!!

  • @enzo12ify1 Stop lying, kiddy. If you'd have the money you would understand how the things are. You're a hobo.

  • @RaZoRFinnish na im not lying and how would u no if im poor or not?....... u dont so shut up!!!! and if i were a hobo the..... how come i have a laptop?

  • @enzo12ify1

    He can tell by how you talk, elmo. He doesn't have to shut up. Is your laptop comparable to the hp pavilion zt1250?

  • @2BunnyReturns no i dont no what it is and well..... I DONT GIVE A FUCK!!! and he can tell by how i talk oi dumb shit it's a txt and on utube im not talking to him face 2 face am i? NO u mean the way i write!.... and yes he does go fuck ur bf in the ass u fag and yes i am getting a tesla! (well i hope i can) if not ill get a radon (i think thats how u spell it) lol

  • @enzo12ify1

    Once you learn how to speak english and get done speaking hobo elmo, we can help you, but until then, everybody is just gonna have to laugh at you, LOL!

  • @2BunnyReturns dude people must be shitting them selves laughing at YOU!! ''learn to speak english'' ?? ummmm im not speaking im writing!! and IT'S IN ENGLISH cos if it wasn't then how come you can understand what i am WRITING? and there is no such thing as '' speaking hobo''. help me with what? the only way u can help me is if u fuck off! and who the fuck is elmo??

  • @enzo12ify1 I can read, but i don't believe you, thief.

  • @enzo12ify1

    Elmo elmo elmo... Take five deep breaths and calm down. Having a temper tantrum at me or RazorFinish isn't going to make the situation any better. The phrase "once you learn how to speak english..." implies that what you write is so illegible, the only message you are coming accross with is, "IM A CRYBABY AND I NEED A DIAPER OR ATTENTION FROM SOME YOUTUBE USER PATIENT ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE DIMWITTED LIKE ME" is all RazorFinish or I hear/interperet, elmo.

    Just calm down ☺

  • @2BunnyReturns ur the1 who said i speak like a hobo&razorfinnish said i stole a laptop and a tesla and the only message he is getting across to me is im an ignorant ass hole who assumes everything&anything ur the1 who said 'he can tell be how i talk' no not talking its writing so u go back to school or go down a gradeor2 and learn to read and dumb shit its not elmo its enzo see u can't read! and wanting attention um im just making some letters bigger 4 u so u can read what im writing so thank me

  • @enzo12ify1

    We both know you're a hobo elmo, lets just calm down. You're the judge: Do hobos steal Telsas and Laptops? He got across his message very well (and the one about you being ignorant too). What's a "graedor02" anyway?

    Elmo, you should probably go to school and out of your house more often so that you can learn how to talk and communicate online. Oh, also, by the way, I thought it might be helpful for you to know that YT comments can't change the text size.

    Simmer down, elmo. ☺

  • @2BunnyReturns no they don't steal gpu's or laptops cos they have know need to! what's the point when someone could steal it off the hobo the only way it would help the is if they sell it 2 some1 but the person would know that they stole it cos a hobo with a laptop? no. i go out with my friends all day on weekends and i go to work so yer i get out of the house a lot and i never said utube change the text size i said it has a space count

  • @2BunnyReturns and just so u dont say i should go back 2 school i had to get rid of all the punctuation marks & and join words together so i could post the comment, as you may know youtube has a 500 space limit (letters,punctuation marks and spaces) and if you go above that it wont post your comment. even if i put a full stop at the end it wouldn't post it.

  • @enzo12ify1

    Elmo, if you would slow down and buy a keyboard without keys missing, we might be able to interpret your yacking as something other than, "IM A CRYBABY WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE WHO JUST SITS AT HOME ON A COMPUTER ALL DAY HAVING TEMPER TANTRUMS AT YOUTUBE USERS AND I WANT MY MOMMY TO TAKE ME TO SCHOOL BECAUSE IM TOO AFRAID TO WALK ALL BY MYSELF DOWN THE STREET".

    See how annoying it gets elmo? We love you and all, but maybe you should practice getting angry at a wall first.

  • @2BunnyReturns umm dumb shit i catch a train 2 work then a bus then i walk 2k so i think i can walk down the street by my self, once again you help my point that you can't read cos you keep saying ''elmo'' it's enzo your the one who is annoying cos u say elmo when it's enzo, u keep writing random shit and im not some fucking 5 year old so you can stop writing like that!! and haha no i don't have missing letters buy a keybord? if i didn't have 1 then how come we are having this convo?

  • @enzo12ify1 realy? id consider them some of the worst

  • @MikeDCrossley what a tesla s1070?

  • @enzo12ify1 You stole the laptop. And that "tesla s1070" is something produced by your very dirty thief mind.

  • @RaZoRFinnish yer i stole a laptop and a tesla s1070, IF you can read i said i hopeful getting it by next year and the laptop no not stolen i got it at the apple store! LEARN to read!!!

  • @enzo12ify1

    So that's why all the keys are falling out, its 'cuz you bought it at an Apple store. You should've told us this before elmo, or are you missing the "K", "E", "Y", "B", "O", "A", "R", and "D" buttons? LOL!

  • @2BunnyReturns wtf are u going on about? i just told u why one of my comments was so bad cos of the space limit when you are typing a comment only 500 spaces and why i tried to post it , it wouldn't so i had to join some words and shit so i could post it as i have already stated. the only thing you have done smart in you hole life was ' your missing the 'k','e','y','b','o','a','r' and 'd' buttons' and when i said gradeor2 i meant to say 'a grade or 2' cos as i said b4 i had 2 join word together

  • @enzo12ify1

    See elmo, that's the thing. If you'd just slow down and try being normal for a change and not getting all frustrated and angry, you wouldn't type all these extra letters, and in turn, we wouldn't have to deal with wondering what a "graedoar2" is.

  • @2BunnyReturns now lets stop this little utube fight and get on with our lives! cos you really need too, open your windows let fresh air come into you smelly dirty room let the sunshine into your dark room stretch your legs and go for a nice walk interact with people get in a nice convo and not on utube see what god wanted you to see and not just graphics on a computer! you have alienated your self from people from the world when was the last time you kissed a girl and i don't mean you mum?

  • @enzo12ify1

    I don't know about you, but I am using a shared computer in a properly ventilated home. Now, I don't know if your mom's musty basement is accessible from the outside world, but do try standing up and walking around, maybe even looking out a window once in a while. There are other things to life than your amazing laptop and stolen hobo goods, you know.

    At least I'm not the one refreshing a YouTube comments page every five seconds to rebuttleanother reply that made me look stupid.

  • @2BunnyReturns see you don't have anything.... you just take what i said and change it, why do you think i said for you to walk around out side? what i mean is i do all that and you don't hens why i said DO all of those things.... and refreshing a youtube a page thats funny cos i dont IT'S CALLED EMAIL!!. get a life really you need to. now can we both agree to stop this? cos it's using up my time.

  • @enzo12ify1

    Sorry Elmo, in your temper tantrum, I can't understand what it is you are trying to say. I see a vague collection of you refreshing your email all the time to subscribe to email alerts in YouTube comments (do they even do that??) and telling us about your hobo life.

    Elmo, just calm down, get out of the basement, walk back down Sesame Street back to the yellow giraffe's house and ask for some counceling.

    Thank goodness I'm not a hobo - I'd be stupid like elmo...

  • @2BunnyReturns man your so immature, do your self a good thing and get out of the house for once, live life don't wast it on a computer and drop the convo and act your age. once again you prove my point that you can't read by saying elmo. now if you can act your age lets stop this convo? really get a life! i have one. now to end this just don't reply back!!

  • @enzo12ify1

    Elmo, you make me laugh. I don't even remember what your temper tantrum was about anymore, could you remind me (in English, not Hobo English though please) again? See elmo, your poor social skills shine through if all you can do all the time is reply to a YouTube comment/argument about nothing. I see you took a 4 day vacation from the thread. I hope you went outside once, or at least up the stairs of your basement. I told you doing something with your legs would prove healthy. ☺

  • @2BunnyReturns umm i said for you to get out of the house first, i said for you to go for a nice long walk first, i told you to make some friends first and i asked you when was the last time you kissed a woman other then your mum and you never replied to that so it looks like to me you haven't gotten out of the house 4 a long time! and when u said '4 day vacation' i had the last comment and it said 4 u 2 shut up so we can stop this convo. now lets end it?

  • @enzo12ify1

    My silly little elmo, you need to start making some sense here. We're not in fairy tales anymore, you can't keep being a hobo. Maybe if you'd quit repeating everything I say and taking credit for it as your own, and on top of that lying, we might get somewhere.

    As they said in "Alice's Restaurant", "Just go down to the shrink wherever you are and say, you can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" (Arlo Guthrie).

    Maybe you should just plain stop at the psychiatrist... LOL!

  • @1schwererziehbar1 watch out for trolls!!!!!! :D

  • @gamersed94

    my success is astonishing even to me :)

  • PS3 sucks xbox 360 4 ever!!!!!

  • The Cell is the Terminator's CPU LOL

  • @TheDM75 That's what I was just thinking. LOL the PS3 will get us all killed!

  • @TheDM75 haha, so what will that make the ps4's cell?

  • @xenomorph856 The T1000 xD

  • Noob question from a Diehard ps3 fan ^^

    What is real time?

  • @Silvester94T3 real time is when the actual animation is playing and has not been rendered into a video

  • That is a bad ass chip.

  • PS3 can over come physic complications if not for the cell chip. Its a very powerful machine and from reviews and countless video research on the new Cell Chip developed in Sony and Toshiba, its more superior to the Intel's and ADM Quad Core Processors (In Turbo Mode). The Gaming world has been set to a new level due to this chip. Thats why XBOX can't compete in raw power and performance that PS3 has brought to the table. ALONE it can process Graphics and Physics without a Graphics Card.

  • @ecclesiatesfour Cell isn't superior to Intel or AMD quad-cores. It isn't superior to their dual-cores either. It's a 2005 single-core chip based on IBM's long outdated Power Architecture. Its purpose was being used on servers and workstations, and the gaming world wasn't canged at all by this chip. Also, any CPU can process physics, and Cell can't process graphics without a graphics card, which is why Sony used a Cell and a RSX on the PS3 instead of two Cells (which would have been cheaper).

  • @mathhenr you sir are wrong....if you check the dev. diaries for Uncharted 2 they say that they used the cell to process motion blur,depth of field and some other things i cant remember(these are things a gpu normally does). This freed up some processing power from the rsx and allowed for higher quality models and such....so the cell CAN process graphics

  • @madlh24 Motion blur and depth of field are post-processing effects, not raster graphics. Those are simple operations the SPEs can do, since they are very similar to GPU shaders. For every other rendering process (rasterization, texturing, shading) you need a GPU because CPUs don't handle it.

  • I'd like to see a PS3 do this - watch?v=O63Y9E3VOQc

    I bet it would get 1 fps or less.

  • Well the TRUE HD is cleared up now.

    Yeah I've checked that out, who knows how something like that would work on the PS3, if it's programmed for PCs it probably won't run very well on a PS3, especially if it's like that.

    512 cores on the new Nvidia cards, just, WOW

    PS3 can do physics pretty well though.

  • I still don't think it would run as well on a PS3, even if it was coded correctly to run on a PS3.

    PS3's were powerful when they were released, but then the speed of both video cards and processors for PC's increased, so I believe PC has surpassed the power of a PS3, otherwise why would they choose not to have games take advantage of things such as Antialiasing higher than 2X, and Anisotropic FIltering higher than 4X's I believe.

    I mean if it's so powerful, why not, right?

  • Yeah I know, PS3s are from a while ago now, still good for most of the types of games they want to make though.

    I'd like some more AA sometimes though.

    I still wonder if it will be going strong until 2016 like some people have said.

    The PS2 is still going strong after ten years.

  • yeah, well I'm not saying that there isn't a market or anything for PS3, I'm just saying I personally think PC is better, that's all :-)

    you can get some pretty cool shit for PC, for example look up the "Cyborg R.A.T 7 Mouse"

    watch?v=P_qciGwhrD4

    watch?v=jQx-zx1v6gY

  • I have a Razer Death Adder gaming mouse, it's AWESOME, both really cool looking and good.

    I play Combat Arms with it and other stuff.

  • cool :-)

    I haven't really got myself more than a $10 mouse, so going from that to the one I want, the R.A.T 9 will be crazy, and I'll be getting a nice mouse pad too :-)

  • this must have been super hard to do, this physics test, considering nothing else has to be rendered, no textures, no environment, no soft shadows, etc.

    but hey, let's just say it's really hard to do this, when it's actually really simple, compared to what you can do with PC, and the new Fermi card.

    watch?v=O63Y9E3VOQc - ACCURATE representation of AMAZING real world physics.

    Consoles FAIL.

  • Fermi card costs about twice as much as a PS3...and can't do NEARLY as much as a PS3 can do.

  • well that's wrong, and can you play games in 3D? (already had it for like 4 years on PC) with a headtracker to be able to move your head, and have you character move accordingly in game? or be able to hook up 3 monitors, and have peripheral vision in your games? or how bout DX11? mod all your games?, play with 64 people online? watch a movie on one screen, while playing a game on another, while having a music program open on another?

    how about voice controlling ALL your games?

  • I think 3D is coming, and there's some stuff like MAG that has 256 players.

    By the way, I just meant that a $300 PS3 versus a $600-$700 Card, and you just hook both up to a home theater you're going to get quite a lot more done with the PS3, with blue ray, hard drive, internet, RAM, CPU, controller.

    I don't really care about most of that, but yeah they have a lot of new technology out these days.

  • MAG is the only exception (for having lots of players)

    on a PC I can do lots of things at the SAME TIME.

    also, with your BluRay player on a console, you can't get True Hi Def sound, but with PC, I can buy a sound card that will let me do that.

    and I still consider all those other features I mentioned before worthy of the price increase.

    and lets be fair, the price you can pay today for a nice gaming rig, just a few short years ago was the price of your average PC (About $1,500)

  • I just think PC brings a lot more to the table.

    there's no way anyone should expect the price to be the same as a console, that's ignorant.

    PC is really in it's own category, PC is for people that want to do more, and have more immersion in games.

  • Actually the PS3 is fully Dolby True HD and DTS HD capable.

    Yeah PCs really have gotten to be way better for the price. I'm kinda sad how much PC gaming is neglected these days though. It is a pain gotta admit though.

    I like how much the PS3 can do for being so small and inexpensive, but yeah PCs can do a lot.

  • no it's not, watch this.. (He explains it near the middle of the video I believe)

    watch?v=4rtOJ3n1fws

    I agree PS3's can do a fair bit for how much they cost, it's just for people that wanna do more, and don't mind spending a bit more money, they will probably end up getting a nice gaming PC.

  • I don't know, it has it written on the box and everything, some site said that it already unzips it so that it is the same HD sound but it won't say it is, that it'll send it as LPCM.

    I don't even have an HD reciever, I just do Dolby DX 7.1, seems good.

    I like how my laptop has full HD capabilites too, I did HDMI straight to a TV that had built in speakers and played games through it, and other stuff.

    Is deep color being used these days? Only newer movies use it? Can you see it?

  • Hey wait a minute, that video is from August! The PS3 slim is new, and I think it might bitstream just fine.

    If it does, cool, every HD feature except for some of the 1.4 features which don't really matter to most people.

  • and I'm not sure if the PS3 slim does output True HD or not.

  • Sounds like the PS3 does.

    Uh, deep color is part of HDMI 1.3, I have no idea what it's deal is.

  • I don't think it does, I think the PS3 outputting TRUE HD is just a misconception, people hear the letters "HD" and assume that's the best you can get, then when you mention True HD, people are like "Yep, it's got HD"

    it may have HD, but not TRUE HD.

  • lol, nevermind it can, my bad :-)

  • I don't know what Deep Color is.

  • he says it at 4:28 in that video.

  • fuck pc gamers fo real

  • anyone know were i can download these for my ps3 i love physics

  • try lbp that is as close as u will get or a game with a map editior i think farcry 2 has one

  • how do i get this or something on the ps3 that will do this i love physics

  • me too:) on lbp i just make big towers of differing materials and watch it come crashing down

  • @ImpureHacker

    You cant. Buy a PC and get crysis.

  • for what

  • If you want LBP physics fun in 3D, get crysis. lol.

  • get little big plannet

  • how and where do you get this..?

  • 1 PS3 = 2,5 Xbox's 360 (Last model)

    1 PS3 = 12 Wii's

  • @borlling look up the differences in GPUs and architecture, the xbox 360, on paper, has higher graphical capabilities, which is really what it is going to boil down to. we're seeing an influx in popularity in the ps3 currently, but i think towards the end of this generation of consoles lifespan the 360 will be more dominant because of the extra 50 MHz, free antialiasing, and potential ~200MB of GPU power it has over the ps3. it's win win though, because by then everyone will have both consoles.

  • The cell's architexture allows the SPE to be able to carry out graphical processes, some thing the xbox's is NOT able to do... and where do you get the extra 50 MHz from? The cell has 1 main core at 3.2 GHz, and then 7 "Subcores" running at 3.2 GHz... The xbox has 3 cores at 3.2 GHZ

  • @andrewneedsalawn ps3 gpu-256 mb, xbox 360-512 mb. that is a big difference. hopefully the next gen has at least 1 gb or 2 gb like modern day gpu's

  • hold on, your wrong, i dont remember the exact #'s but i do remember that ps3 has way more GPU then xbox

  • no im not wrong, and u cannot have more gpu.

  • yea your wrong, i used to do alot of research about this kinda stuff when i was into the console war bullshit & xbox has 512mb but ps3 has 2 sets of memory, each with 256mb. 256+256=512(there equal)

  • yeah i just looked it up. but they are seperate, so there is more bottle necking

  • that may be but remember the ps3's cell processor works with the GPU better then on xbox, and with 8 cores the most games if made the right way can be great

  • Yea, but you forget one thing.... the cell is the powerhouse in the ps3, coupled with the xdr ram that runs at the same clock speed as the spus and main powerpc processor. this creates a very high polygon output compared to traditional means... check out the new GOWIII goeff keighley interview if you wanna see the results.

  • your really clueless about ps3

  • @borlling The PS3 Cell has an advantage over the Xbox 360 CPU in many cases (Not all cases), but the ATI video card in the 360 is better than the Nvidia in the PS3, especially considering that it came out over a year earlier. The memory design in the PS3 is also stupid. It should have been unified, or much bigger!

  • I try to use physics on Far Cry 2 and I get 2 Frames Per Second. wtf -_-

  • I think thats just how the game is optimized for the ps3.

  • @chadheck96 physics takes a lot of processing power..which is why when you see people on youtube doing crysis demos...they actually use special parameters to render each frame and then turn those frames into an actual video...processing one frame at time and playing it back at 30 or 60 fps will make it look as if it were real time...2fps is pretty average lol....i get about 6-10 fps with a core i7 and 6 gb of ram

  • @sgtGrif

    Yeah that pre rendered crap this ps3 is real time

  • @sgtGrif, not to sound like an ass, but you have 6gb with a core i7? strange because i play on my buddies computer, and he built it himself around the core i7 and has it OC with 4gb of tri channel ram, and an ati radeon 5770 2gb gddr3. and crysis on full blast, does nothing what so ever to the computer, we average 30-40 fps on it. strange you only get 6-10 fps.

  • lol you get 6-10 fps after spawning 24460 red drum cans and trying to blow them up at the same time...playing the game normally it averages about 50-90 fps ...now i have 12 gb of ram >_>

  • i did the same thing, the spu's are not being used

  • stop arguing all oof u. this vid is about the ps3. if u dont have one go cry somewhere else.

  • Grant it pc is upgradable which allows for the games to run extra smoother and look extra smoother but it's not a big noticeable difference from the consoles capabilities to run games smooth and look smooth.You don't nessarly need to own the other gaming platforms to know what your talking about that's a misguided view on your part nikndyay.

  • A PS3 can't even stack boxes properly?

  • so i wouldn't be selling the ps3 short becuase it still has alot of untapped protential still before it's all said & done.

  • well given the fact that the ps3's rsx gpu is technically a beefed up geforce 7800gtx that iid say is still a pretty powerful gpu.then throw in the cell processor which is beast of a cpu alone & the fact it functions has powerful gpu as well without the assistance of a actual gpu.

  • I'm pretty sure anyone who says PCs kill Consoles for playing games are retarded. Not through graphics, but the fact that many developers just don't make games for PC because of piracy. Thus, a PC can't kill anything if it doesn't have any games.

  • I'm pretty sure there's more games for the PC than the xbox lol! ^^

    My point is that you probably don't own a good computer so you don't even bother looking for games for it.. :) correct me if im wrong ^^

    (most fan boys complain about things they don't even have...)

  • And yes i also have a ps3 and xbox 360 so i know what im talking about :)

  • that's not true, more and more companies are releasing games for PC on something called "Steam" which basically prevents piracy, or at the very least makes it very hard. There still are many people supporting the gaming industry for PC, and many games that are released on Console are released on PC, and Vice Versa. Even some games ppl said wouldn't be on PC.

    someone told me that PC sucks cuz it aint getting Resident Evil 5, Splinter Cell Conviction, or Modern Warfare 2, lol

  • zweg2 get off your high horse because console gaming can hold it's own against pc gaming and great graphics isn't always about the most realistic it's about art direction,gameplay,audio,solid controls,entertainment value and personal preferenc.

  • if everyone was thinking like you whe would still be playing tetris or pacman, so shut up, its ALL about grapics and physics... they MAKE that great gameplay actualy worth playing

  • and thats why we have uncharted 2 and gow 3

  • according to what sony told gamespot way back towards luanch time that the rsx gpu inside ps3 was more powerful then two geforce 6800 ultras and slightly more powerful then a single geforce 7800gtx as i can recall.

  • wrong they never released rsxs finallized specs, ps3 could run a movie in realtime without rsx

  • wow, just going to post that. like i said gamepro bugger off and watch another shitty ps3 video to wank off to

  • You DO know a Radeon 2000/3000 card isent that good...My laptop came with an ATI radeon 3100 and it was only $475.

    Sorta sad.

  • laptop versions of video cards are shit, but ye 2000/3000 series are old

  • The laptop versions arent shit.

    Im playing Burnout: Paradise the ultimate box On highest settings, 1080x800, highest shadows, details exc and Im getting 25-35 FPS on Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Meaning the RSX isent bad...Never said it was though....

    COD4 plays in medium-high at 40-60 FPS.

    My CPU is AMD Athlon X2 (~2 CPUS) @ 2.0ghz.

  • gamepro127onpsn, dude, shut the hell up. have pie's logic is solid, motherfucker.

  • cell is ment for supercomputing not the best CPU around. the cell does things differently, for example, it can act like a gpu and assist the gpu in rendering graphics..... i'd much rather have my graphics card render the graphics than the cell.

    look at what cevat yerli said regarding the ps3 "the console version of the game (crysis 2) will be scaled down..." the PC will always be the best gaming platform. just look at the ati tech demo with the 20000 ping pong balls all processed by the pehnom

  • wow awesome! PS3 rocks

  • wow pretty fuckin sweet

  • Thus, a 32-core Larrabee (coming early 2010) will have TEN TIMES the single precision floating point performance of PS3 CELL.

  • But isn't the Larabee a GPU?

    The cell is a CPU.

  • Larabee is a 32-core cpu, the ps3 has 8 core, running at 3.2 ghz per core, which is great, however the gpu is a nvidia rsx, which is a piece of junk by today's standards, so it basically limits the ps3's power by ALOT.

  • havepie

    Larabee is a GPGPU. A GPGPU is not a CPU.

    RSX + Cell = great graphics (Look at the games)

  • but the RSX doesnt need to be that good does it? the cell does the lighting, physics draw distance and stuff right, but i heard that the RSX only does the colours

  • Yes, Of course it does, The RSX is the Graphics card, The graphics card handles the graphics, and since it is very old and is written in open gl, its difficult to design with and very limited.

  • sooo...is that a yes to rsx handling physics lighting and stuff, or a yes to the cell doing the psysics and lighting?

  • LMFAO dude the RSX owns Xbox 360s Xeon,

    In terms of PC, the RSX is equal to TWO (2) Nvidia 7900 ULTRAS. The xbox 360s Xeon is equal to ONE 7900GT.

    Ps3's Cell processor just pwns 360's CPU. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

  • LMFAO, DON"T YOU JUST LOVE RIGHTING IN ALL CAPS AND MISSSSPELLING SHITT AND RIGHTING FALSE INFO, END OF STORY, Anyway, now that I'm done laughing at you, If you have 2 nvidia 7900 ULTRAS big fucking whoop, two cards in SLI wow, maybe a 3 fps jump, so congrads, you've made an ass out of yourself and made yourself look like an idiot. RAISING YOUR VOICE, The next best thing to being right.

  • No DUDE what I fucking said was the RSX is the same as two 7900 ultras...Faggot.

    3 fps jump? NO! WAAAAAAAAAY More, dumbass.

    Your the one who just made a ass out of themselves and cant spell worth shit if their life depended on it.

  • Wow, the fact that I wrote "AND MISSSSPELLING SHIT" didn't give you any type of clue at all, I guess I was just acting above a 3rd grade level, my bad, Alright, I admit it, a 3 fps jump is a little bit exaggerated, but not by much, Maximum 20 fps jump, not to mention those things are already heavily outdated.

  • Which makes the Xbox 360's Xeon even MORE outdated, since its based on ONE 7900GT.

    LOL
