Ps3 CPU is MUCH better than 360 game devs are to lazy to "use it all". The only games that almost use 3/4 of it is kilzone 3 uncharted 2&3 which means ps3 hasn't met its limit while 360 (with is xenon CPU) has met it's limit (gears of war and halo)
Don't forget that and most of ps3's games are ports so again it's CPU is just waiting to be put to its limits. Check out jon4lakers video on ps3 vs 360... And yes pc is better... Overall
why do you morons do these comparisons? what is the point? of cource a PC is better than a console cause you upgrade it over the years, spend money on RAM , CPU's Graphics cards , Bigger hard drives and so on... but a console is cheap, and it gives you at least 8 years of good gaming. Its pointless cause they're two different things. I prefer a console just because I'm sick of standing on a chair and upgrading my pc, and hackers, and space on the hdd .. plug and play, the rest is unnecesary crap
Ive seen 32 ram on a computer.. must be some pretty INTENSE games.. i think once you go that high your game slows down. Its like having a big map with a little places to go.
@beatalls true. But for someone like me who has 8GB of RAM, i can spare 1.5GB of RAM for my OS. And my RAM runs as 1600MHz, so its rather fast IMO. I will however, give credit to the speed of the PS3's RAM. It is very fast, but i still dont like that it has so little.
@andrewesquivel Oh and you should put some annotations saying that ram isn't the only thing that matters and that it's not the same type of ram. As you have built PC's for years you should know that it isn't possible to get that kind of preformance with a simple DDR ram of that size. The Xbox uses high speed bridges instead.
It's quite genious actually little ram preforms well. I'm not all that good on PC's though so I don't know why this isn't popular in the PC world.
@SnoweyMan111 Today, DDR3 RAM can achieve up to 57.6 GB/s (DDR3-2400 on triple-channel setups) and can be used in large ammounts, while GDDR5 memory setups used on graphics cards, rarely less than 1 GB, can easily surpass 100 GB/s.
Compared to that, I don't see how 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM at 22.4 GB/s as used on the Xbox 360 is "high speed".
@NewLynxChannel It was, now it's not though. He should point out the clockrates regardless, it's important.
GDDR5 wasn't in existence at the time. What you have to think about is that the "next gen" consoles were released a long time ago now. They were surprisingly efficient for their time. Of cause they diminish in performance over time.
I don't see how you can know so much and still don't get what I'm saying, if this didn't clear anything up, further discussion is pointless.
@SnoweyMan111 Despite choosing so, I don't need to use today's hardware to explain how it's not fast memory. GDDR3 setups from the time of the release of the Xbox 360 were already up to twice as fast as the memory the console used. For instance, the one on the 7800 GTX 512 (54.4 GB/s) and the one on the X1800 XT (48 GB/s). Also, before the release of the PS3, the X1950 XTX (64 GB/s, GDDR4) and the 8800 GTX (86.4 GB/s) were already available.
OMFG YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT!!!!!! First of all the Xbox360 has 512 MB GDDR3 RAM at 700mhz THAT IS SHARED!!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!!!!!!!!!! it has to share all of that ram to run the video processor smart one. So its only pushing about 256mb or ram just like the ps3. Second of all the ps3 has256MB XDR Main RAM @3.2GHz
256MB GDDR3 VRAM @700MHz=video ram The ps3s ram runs more than 4 times faster. Think before you post. :) EVERYONE GIVE ME THUMBS UP!!!!!
@MBJH17isbackonlyone - ha ha ha here you go tryin to find out the truth by watchin videos, why didnt you just watch the blackbustercritic video? because your a butthurt consolite fanboy who doesnt know anything about pc gaming nor can afford one so in turn you try to be cool and talk shit about it. but in all reality, your just a butthurt homo...lmao
@MBJH17isbackonlyone - too bad your still retarded.....you know why you didnt watch the featured video on my page??? CUZ YOUR BUTTHURT AND BROKE.....LOL now cry more lil baby consolite.....cry more......
@MBJH17isbackonlyone lol how do you know his pc is garbage? and lmfao pc gamers arent getting owned by apple fanboys, apple only has 4% of the computer market while microsoft has 95%. we are not afraid of apple. and pc getting owned by the ps3? lmfao. wow dude, your dumb. everyone knows the ps3 is the worst system you can buy
@MBJH17isbackonlyone i have never once got the blue screen of death in my 15 years of using windows, idk what porn sites youve been visiting. your not really making much sense, you did say were getting owned by the ps3. you never mentioned anything about a "jackass with an xbox" so i dont see how this would make me a stupid jackass. no apple fanboy has never stepped in my face before, its never gotten that intense. of course you would say not to reply back, because you knew you would get owned
@MBJH17isbackonlyone well yeah i mean you didnt even respond with a legittimate argument yo just said owned? laughed, and then that was it. so yeah until you can defend your statement, youve just been owned. i will not pray or obey apple fanboys, i dont have to? apple blows man, anything any apple fanboy has to say about windows ill always have worse things to say about apple, you make it sound like they constantly own us when in reality its the other way around lol
@MBJH17isbackonlyone - sing it with me....."Butthurt bay beeeee".....lmao my gaming pc smashes any console out at the moment. keep cryin faggot....i love your tears....
@MBJH17isbackonlyone - now you resorted to using my lines too? lmao and another thing, when did i ever claim my pc was the best? thats right bitch, cuz i never did. your dillusional fanboy mentality must of fabricated that one huh? all i said was my pc beats your ps3, wii, or even the 360.......maybe when you save enough allowance you can afford the beastly pleasures of a gaming pc....later faggot.
@mustang33192 PS3's XDR runs at 400 MHz, not 3.2 GHz. Also, it has a 25.6 GB/s bandwidth, compared to 22.4 GB/s for the 700 MHz GDDR3. Which means it's 12.5% faster only.
@mustang33192 the ps3 has XDR ram wich is 4 times faster (clockspeed) but the bandwidth is only as high as 800 MHz DDR 2 memory and the latency is a little higher then that, so all in all the XDR memory isn't all that much faster then the GDDR3 memory on the Xbox360. for the rest i agree with you that the maker of this video posted it before he got all his details right
@nelishoofd Actually, PS3's XDR is clocked at 400 MHz, just like DDR2-800 RAM. But since XDR transfers 8 bits per cycle and is set on a single-channel bus (64-bit = 8 bytes), the bandwidth is 400 * 8 * 8 = 25.6 GB/s, which is twice as much as dual-channel (128-bit = 16 bytes) DDR2-800, 400 * 2 * 16 = 12.8 GB/s.
@NewLynxChannel ah you are right, i confused the XDR in the PS3 with older XDR that had the same bandwith as DDR2 800. thanks for clearing that up mate.
@joseph971 Absolutely sure, that's not false at all and you can check it on RAMBUS' website. XDR memory runs at 400 MHz and tranfers 8 bits per cycle. That means it has a tranfer rate of 3.2 GT/s (gigatransfers per second), since 400 * 8 = 3200, but the frequency is still 400 MHz. The 3.2 GHz thing was a marketing gimmick from Sony.
And XDR is faster than the Xbox 360's GDDR3, but only by 12.5% (25.6 GB/s vs. 22.4 GB/s).
u got poor experience from what i see :)) u know how fast that ps3 ram is? game developers had trouble with its sped at first,it doesn't really need more than 256mb
and u got it wrong dude..
it has 256 xdr ram at 3,2ghz and 256 gddr3 vram at 700mhz and the xbox360 has 512 mb that is used both for the system and as vram
360 only uses half its ram 256mb GPU 256mb CPU; although the CPU can borrow ram from the GPU if needed..
the ps3 having dedicated 256MB ram GPU and 256MB CPU, at better high quality super computer ram... But not being able to borrow,
its debatable!
Now, what I have heard is ps3 is better, because ps3 has 2 solid ram instead of borrowing, potentially is better because it dosnt slow your console down while it borrows and switches or w/e
i really do like the detail you put into these videos, but i have to call you out on something. just because the PlayStation 3 only has 256mb of ram, does not mean that it is being held back all that much. the ps3 uses XDR ram, which is hyper fast super computer ram, this allows the ps3 to use that small amount and still perform just as fast, and sometimes faster than the highest end desktop ram. the real weak point is that it only has 256mb of it. anyway thanks for listening. keep up.
console systems will always be the weaker performers simply because its the computer industry that drives the components within a console gaming system. As such, consoles will always trail behind by at least a few years in terms of performance.
From reading your comment you really need to take in abit of your own wisdom " Its better for people to think your an Idiot then Open your mouth and Prove them Right!"
just because my grammar & punctuation is rough around the edges don't mean im stupid.there's all forms of intelligence you close minded jackass.obviously you lack an important form of intelligence called common sense.
MY ignorance? Who's the one who spews nothing but shit he read off the internet and try to sound like a genius despite the fact that he can't even use proper grammar or punctuation?
there's plenty of technical feats ps3 has accomplished in gaming and more ps3 still can in many factors & fools like you over look or just deny all together.
it can match pc and has when it comes to gaming you obviously fooled yourself in believing ps3 can't still hold it own to pc gaming & don't know a thing about game design obviously.
playstation 3 is no lightweight in raw compuatation performance & was designed for home high definition multi media digital entertainment purpose & execute it quite efficiently & effectively.
Efficently and effectively... yeah... so why have such low ram, thats not efficent and not effective. Xbox 360 has more space for more game and a smooth gameplay
also factor in the cell processor's graphical rendering capabilities aside from doing calculations.also factor in what the xdr dram memory architecture & flexIO processor bus contributes to playstation 3's overall raw computational performance.
the only info i got form wiki was the definitions of the words. i have been building PC's for many years now, all the info was from years of experience.
The 360 has 512MB of ram thats shared between the CPU AND GPU. XDR ram is a new technology from Rambus that has clock speeds up to 8GHz at something like 16x the average data rate of DDR3, insane considering the fastest DDR3 stick of corsair I found was only 1.86GHz. PS4 sadly may not have XDR due to its price.
keeping in mind that consoles don't need quite as much ram as a pc, 256MB in a computer running any current OS would be very slow, but gaming consoles don't quite have so many processes to worry about and so don't require so much ram.
But having said that i still wonder how my PS3 is capable of HD video with only 256mb
Again... 8GB ram is useless in 32bit operating system that is the only system games are currently developed for. The next gen comes with Windows 7, 64bit versions. There will be DirectX11 and also, Intel works on Larrabee, new kind of graphics chip that will be able to produce the picture quality of what you see in Transformers for example. Called raytracing, that will be on, when game developers leaves the rasterization that is used in every gaming stuff now, even on consoles.
Xbox360 has a total of 512MB RAM Unified. However The Playstation 3 has 256mb of GDDR3 at 700mhz and 256Mb of XDR at 3.2ghz totaling the number to 512MB none Unified but its called Dedicated. More RAM does not mean a faster system it means more data can be stored in a fast access area. The PS3 has its RAM in two separate parts, 256MB for the RSX and 256MB that can be used be either the Cell or RSX.
If a 4 year old goes on and edits wrong information in there, it will get removed and put back the way it was. Almost everything on there is gathered from sources elsewhere.
It should be noted the PS3 has 512mb, not 256mb, of high performance XDR RAM, clocked at 800mhz, and set for 1066mhz in the future. Just putting it out there.
the ps3 has 512mb of shared ram, 256 GDDR3 and 256 XDR which can be applied to visuals. The full 512 mb can be applied to visuals, not a measly 256mb.
true, but if all 512 was used for visuals, then there would be no memory to function for essential info for the game. you wont see all of it go to VRAM.
Fair enough. It's possible?(not too computer savy) Anyway, I think the ps3 is made for the long run, seeing as blue-ray has max channel depth of 1440p etc. seeing as the console is fabled to last 10 years, and were seeing gt5 and killzone 2 trailers in 1440p. We could be playing ultra high definition in a few years time.
well, with a PC, ultra high def has already been done years ago. with monitors with a native resolution of 2560x1600, PC has surpassed1080p years before it ever became a tv standard for HD. for a PS3, however, im not sure it will get much higher than it already is. only time will tell.
it's just I don't see many of them around. I don't know anyone who uses such a high resolution. I'm looking forward to see how a ps3 will work with those new uhd tvs with built in cell processors.
Also, developers try to keep their potential market as wide as possible and cater for the majority, so it'll be quite a while until you see a game requiring atleast 4GB of RAM. Ironically, most of the games that require 2GB+ of RAM at the moment (save for Crysis) are the console ports.
The Cell with 7 SPUS all at 3.2 GHZ the games now use only about 40% of the capability from the SPUs.
A lot of people thought that the SPUS cant be used for graphic processing. But thats not true the Cell is more like a mix between GPU and CPU so the Gpu can give a lot of work to the SPUs. We will see the upcomig games. The Xbox360 is now at the peak of Graphicquality. The PS3 has a lot more way to go.
actually a core i7 is a quad core with 2 thread per core (which means 8 logical cores) so its some what like a psudo 8 core proc. and core i9 comes out in 2010 which will have 6 physical cores.
your ignirant fan boy . why is it cell micropresser is being used on words most powerful super computer , oh wait intel is not powerful enought to do the job , and its been proven that 1 cell is more powerful than 15 intel core 2 duals prosessors . well thruth is out there
the cell isnt the main processor in those super comps. and its not one cell but a bunch of cell procs. its more like a co-processor in super computers.
its is what i heard and don't change facts , why folding home uses ps3's network ?? because amd or inter not powerful enough to simulate dna in real life yeah !!
there is have folding at home for PCs idiot. and if you allow the pcs GPU to do the folding then your score score at folding is going to be higher than the ps3 score.
actually we didnt have to catch up. console had to. your video card ( the rsx) is ONLY a 7800 from what nvidia said and that cant be refuted because it came STRAIGHT from nvidias mouth.
you mean crysis 2. crysis one is NOT for consoles. Cevat Yerli of crytek has already said that the pc version will be the best looking version. no to mention pc version will get the sandbox tool.
ah well about sand box , when it released we will see , how much you would have to spen your own cash just to buy graphics card ! ah i played hole orange box on xbox 360 , and i did never fought of bad controls . half life 2 on pc is no different
i have a 4870x2 i dont have to buy a graphics card anytime soon. if i buy one now it would be to only use DX11. any ways crytek never said that the console user were going to get sandbox. not to mention even if you did get sandbox it would suck if you dont have key board and mouse for it. and pc would have better functionality with sandbox because modders can use it to add new custom content that consoles cant get.
its just the way it is. usually the pc version of a game is usually the best version. best example of this is the half-life series, fallout 3 , and oblivion.
why cant your ps3 get better graphic then my pc tell me a straight answer and dont dodge it?, you have your specs we have ours ours is better no question about it, 256mb of ram pf, thats just patetic at 700mh, wow i have 6 gb of ram at 1666 mh, so eat it
in that super computer the cell is NOT the main processer. and in super comps that have the cell in them usually have a BUNCH of cell procs to be used as co- processors. the proc is prolly a amd cpu.
PC. Because have more adequate controller (the mouse) for FPS and RTS. And when you can buy Giant monitor and wireless keyboard the game experience is much better.
+1 PC. More/Better games. (better would be opinion) Better hardware. Upgradeable (other than harddrive). More future proof (to an extent). And 100 other reasons that all fall under hardware or opinion.
My PS3 isn't able to check my youtube mail anymore. Is that because of it's 256mb of ram? I don't know computer AT ALL. My PS3 is connected to the net by the ethernet wire { not wireless } So would ths lower ram on my PS3 have lower graphics compared to a X box? Could a PS3 be modded to have more RAM?
no, i dont think its because of a lack of RAM. and no, you can not mod the PS3 for more RAM. it wouldnt help anyway, seeing as games from the PS3 are only coded for up to a certain amount of RAM. as far as i know, the software wouldnt even realize there is more RAM to use. I feel the biggest factor in graphics is based on the GPU. both PS3 and 360 has similar graphics because their GPU's really arnt too different when it comes to the power they have.
Well if it isn't the ram that is causing my yuoutube failure with checking my youtube mail then what IS casing the failure? Also do you know why SONY won't let us UPLOAD any vidoes to youtube with our PS3's? I can put videos on my PS3 from my camcorder but I can't upload them. It makes me angry.
I personally like consoles more because of several reasons like; playing from couch, I like controller more than kb/m, and most importantly, I like more console games than PC games. But, I have to agree that PC had, has, and always will have more horse power(and I own a PS3). But it's not all about horse power to me, really, I like console atmosphere better than PC although I can't explain it very well...some of you may know what I'm talking about lol. Peace
this guy just talks about the amount of ram,not the speed...the speed counts way more,i had 2 gig of drr400 in my old pc and my mate had 1 gig ddr2 800 in his and they load at abt the same speed,even tho he had half what i had,ps3 has ram clocked at 3.2ghz,even tho its just a 256mb,it dominates because of its speed,so what this guy is saying is pretty useless
speed means nothing if you dont have enough room to move in. when loading an OS doesnt need more than 1GB. playing a video game take much more. if you have RAM running at 10000GHz but only have 256MB of it, then what good is it if a game needs at least 3GB to run? speed is one thing, but you need space to move in.
haha,no,doesnt work like that,i had a 512 mb gcard for example running at 800mhz,i upgraded 2 a 256 mb running at 1.6ghz,and the 256 whipped its ass so badly..its abt speed,trust..
tell that to all of those who play games at 2650x1600 resolution like me. 256MB is no where near enough VRAM to hold the massive textures. speed is great, but when you dont have enough room to run through, what good is it? Both speed and size of memory matter. too little of either is bad. 1.3Ghz in VRAM does great, 3.2GHz is pointless. 1GBVRAM @ 1.3GHz is better than 256MB VRAM at 3.2GHz. it has room for what 256MB doesnt.
haha,no,doesnt work like that...for example,i had a 512mb gcard at 800mhz,then i upgraded 2 a 256mb at 1.6ghz,and the 256 whipped its ass over and over,if u got ram at 10000ghz no game would require 3gb anyway,if u got that crysis would only require less than a 10000th of what it needs 2day,trust,its speed that counts,go 2 any pc expert and ask,theyll tell u the exact same thing
I'd like to see where you get your information from and what "expert" you talk to. Because nothing of which you have just said seams right at all. If you can back up your facts with solid proof, then i'll believe you. until then, i highly doubt any of your info is true.
that's what tried to tell him. I'd been building computer for many years now and his logic didn't make sense. I'm also in college because I am learning to become a video game designer so i know how software works and how it works with the hardware to calculate the game. The knowledge i know is what i share, what UsernameError69 "thinks" is not correct. there has to be a different reason other than what he thinks for the results his fiends had.
the consoles use RAM quite differently to pc's, they don't need as much to run smoothly. ps3 only has 256mb of RAM because thats all it needs, it also has 7 microprocessors each running at 3.2ghz simultainiously + 1 for OS.
my personal favorite is ps3 and 360, not pc since my pc is very weak and we don't have the money to go through new systems, cards, and upgrades just so i could play games but if i had a stronger pc, it would easily be on my list, hey but thats why we have opinions, it makes us different
ahh thanks please help me, i seen 2gb for 25$ so i was thinking of getting that and when im upgrading whats important to stop lag is it the RAM or processor?
Ps3 CPU is MUCH better than 360 game devs are to lazy to "use it all". The only games that almost use 3/4 of it is kilzone 3 uncharted 2&3 which means ps3 hasn't met its limit while 360 (with is xenon CPU) has met it's limit (gears of war and halo)
Don't forget that and most of ps3's games are ports so again it's CPU is just waiting to be put to its limits. Check out jon4lakers video on ps3 vs 360... And yes pc is better... Overall

@mustang33192 PS3's XDR runs at 400 MHz, not 3.2 GHz. Also, it has a 25.6 GB/s bandwidth, compared to 22.4 GB/s for the 700 MHz GDDR3. Which means it's 12.5% faster only.
NewLynxChannel 1 year ago
@mustang33192 the ps3 has XDR ram wich is 4 times faster (clockspeed) but the bandwidth is only as high as 800 MHz DDR 2 memory and the latency is a little higher then that, so all in all the XDR memory isn't all that much faster then the GDDR3 memory on the Xbox360. for the rest i agree with you that the maker of this video posted it before he got all his details right
nelishoofd 1 year ago
@nelishoofd Actually, PS3's XDR is clocked at 400 MHz, just like DDR2-800 RAM. But since XDR transfers 8 bits per cycle and is set on a single-channel bus (64-bit = 8 bytes), the bandwidth is 400 * 8 * 8 = 25.6 GB/s, which is twice as much as dual-channel (128-bit = 16 bytes) DDR2-800, 400 * 2 * 16 = 12.8 GB/s.
NewLynxChannel 1 year ago
@NewLynxChannel ah you are right, i confused the XDR in the PS3 with older XDR that had the same bandwith as DDR2 800. thanks for clearing that up mate.
nelishoofd 1 year ago
@NewLynxChannel What?.. Are you sure about that?. XDR on ps3 runs at 3.2GHZ.
Please read that thousand specs comparison of xbox 360 and ps3 on the net before you post this my friend.
I know console war will never end but man, please don't post false info like this, cause other people know it XDR is faster than that on 360
joseph971 1 year ago
@joseph971 Absolutely sure, that's not false at all and you can check it on RAMBUS' website. XDR memory runs at 400 MHz and tranfers 8 bits per cycle. That means it has a tranfer rate of 3.2 GT/s (gigatransfers per second), since 400 * 8 = 3200, but the frequency is still 400 MHz. The 3.2 GHz thing was a marketing gimmick from Sony.
And XDR is faster than the Xbox 360's GDDR3, but only by 12.5% (25.6 GB/s vs. 22.4 GB/s).

360 only uses half its ram 256mb GPU 256mb CPU; although the CPU can borrow ram from the GPU if needed..
the ps3 having dedicated 256MB ram GPU and 256MB CPU, at better high quality super computer ram... But not being able to borrow,
its debatable!
Now, what I have heard is ps3 is better, because ps3 has 2 solid ram instead of borrowing, potentially is better because it dosnt slow your console down while it borrows and switches or w/e

Actually, the xbox 360 has 512MB of memory, but half of that is used as VRAM.
GarrettBMXes 1 year ago
i really do like the detail you put into these videos, but i have to call you out on something. just because the PlayStation 3 only has 256mb of ram, does not mean that it is being held back all that much. the ps3 uses XDR ram, which is hyper fast super computer ram, this allows the ps3 to use that small amount and still perform just as fast, and sometimes faster than the highest end desktop ram. the real weak point is that it only has 256mb of it. anyway thanks for listening. keep up.

how much video ram does the xbox 360 have?
dooshtoomun 2 years ago
The 360 has 512MB of ram thats shared between the CPU AND GPU. XDR ram is a new technology from Rambus that has clock speeds up to 8GHz at something like 16x the average data rate of DDR3, insane considering the fastest DDR3 stick of corsair I found was only 1.86GHz. PS4 sadly may not have XDR due to its price.
guyverman 2 years ago

yellowmadness54 2 years ago
keeping in mind that consoles don't need quite as much ram as a pc, 256MB in a computer running any current OS would be very slow, but gaming consoles don't quite have so many processes to worry about and so don't require so much ram.
But having said that i still wonder how my PS3 is capable of HD video with only 256mb

dooshtoomun 2 years ago
Again... 8GB ram is useless in 32bit operating system that is the only system games are currently developed for. The next gen comes with Windows 7, 64bit versions. There will be DirectX11 and also, Intel works on Larrabee, new kind of graphics chip that will be able to produce the picture quality of what you see in Transformers for example. Called raytracing, that will be on, when game developers leaves the rasterization that is used in every gaming stuff now, even on consoles.
theturtlebee 2 years ago
Xbox360 has a total of 512MB RAM Unified. However The Playstation 3 has 256mb of GDDR3 at 700mhz and 256Mb of XDR at 3.2ghz totaling the number to 512MB none Unified but its called Dedicated. More RAM does not mean a faster system it means more data can be stored in a fast access area. The PS3 has its RAM in two separate parts, 256MB for the RSX and 256MB that can be used be either the Cell or RSX.

true, but if all 512 was used for visuals, then there would be no memory to function for essential info for the game. you wont see all of it go to VRAM.
andrewesquivel 2 years ago
Fair enough. It's possible?(not too computer savy) Anyway, I think the ps3 is made for the long run, seeing as blue-ray has max channel depth of 1440p etc. seeing as the console is fabled to last 10 years, and were seeing gt5 and killzone 2 trailers in 1440p. We could be playing ultra high definition in a few years time.
solidsnackumzzz 2 years ago
well, with a PC, ultra high def has already been done years ago. with monitors with a native resolution of 2560x1600, PC has surpassed1080p years before it ever became a tv standard for HD. for a PS3, however, im not sure it will get much higher than it already is. only time will tell.
andrewesquivel 2 years ago
it's just I don't see many of them around. I don't know anyone who uses such a high resolution. I'm looking forward to see how a ps3 will work with those new uhd tvs with built in cell processors.

Also, developers try to keep their potential market as wide as possible and cater for the majority, so it'll be quite a while until you see a game requiring atleast 4GB of RAM. Ironically, most of the games that require 2GB+ of RAM at the moment (save for Crysis) are the console ports.

The Cell with 7 SPUS all at 3.2 GHZ the games now use only about 40% of the capability from the SPUs.
A lot of people thought that the SPUS cant be used for graphic processing. But thats not true the Cell is more like a mix between GPU and CPU so the Gpu can give a lot of work to the SPUs. We will see the upcomig games. The Xbox360 is now at the peak of Graphicquality. The PS3 has a lot more way to go.

GranFury440 2 years ago
no, i dont think its because of a lack of RAM. and no, you can not mod the PS3 for more RAM. it wouldnt help anyway, seeing as games from the PS3 are only coded for up to a certain amount of RAM. as far as i know, the software wouldnt even realize there is more RAM to use. I feel the biggest factor in graphics is based on the GPU. both PS3 and 360 has similar graphics because their GPU's really arnt too different when it comes to the power they have.

UsernameError69 3 years ago
speed means nothing if you dont have enough room to move in. when loading an OS doesnt need more than 1GB. playing a video game take much more. if you have RAM running at 10000GHz but only have 256MB of it, then what good is it if a game needs at least 3GB to run? speed is one thing, but you need space to move in.
andrewesquivel 3 years ago
haha,no,doesnt work like that,i had a 512 mb gcard for example running at 800mhz,i upgraded 2 a 256 mb running at 1.6ghz,and the 256 whipped its ass so badly..its abt speed,trust..
UsernameError69 3 years ago
tell that to all of those who play games at 2650x1600 resolution like me. 256MB is no where near enough VRAM to hold the massive textures. speed is great, but when you dont have enough room to run through, what good is it? Both speed and size of memory matter. too little of either is bad. 1.3Ghz in VRAM does great, 3.2GHz is pointless. 1GBVRAM @ 1.3GHz is better than 256MB VRAM at 3.2GHz. it has room for what 256MB doesnt.

haha,no,doesnt work like that...for example,i had a 512mb gcard at 800mhz,then i upgraded 2 a 256mb at 1.6ghz,and the 256 whipped its ass over and over,if u got ram at 10000ghz no game would require 3gb anyway,if u got that crysis would only require less than a 10000th of what it needs 2day,trust,its speed that counts,go 2 any pc expert and ask,theyll tell u the exact same thing

I'd like to see where you get your information from and what "expert" you talk to. Because nothing of which you have just said seams right at all. If you can back up your facts with solid proof, then i'll believe you. until then, i highly doubt any of your info is true.

userbname error your info is incorrect. i work for tech team that works on corporate pc and thats false. more ram always beats faster ram.

that's what tried to tell him. I'd been building computer for many years now and his logic didn't make sense. I'm also in college because I am learning to become a video game designer so i know how software works and how it works with the hardware to calculate the game. The knowledge i know is what i share, what UsernameError69 "thinks" is not correct. there has to be a different reason other than what he thinks for the results his fiends had.

loading depends on your processor.

Agreeing with the user below me. The ps3's beastly cell processor, still actually computes the data faster and thus does not need as much.

the consoles use RAM quite differently to pc's, they don't need as much to run smoothly. ps3 only has 256mb of RAM because thats all it needs, it also has 7 microprocessors each running at 3.2ghz simultainiously + 1 for OS.

can i replace the 256 mb ram to 1 or 2 gb ram in ps3?
rebellionknight 3 years ago
no. and even if you could the game developers would only code up to 512MB for the PS3 anyway.

my personal favorite is ps3 and 360, not pc since my pc is very weak and we don't have the money to go through new systems, cards, and upgrades just so i could play games but if i had a stronger pc, it would easily be on my list, hey but thats why we have opinions, it makes us different
