HarryTaco Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Okay, so now they are out. Can anyone tell me just how they rate vs a PC for gaming? What I am looking for is a kind of Equivalency so I know where they are. I know some of you LOVE Consoles and probably have both, otherwise why would you be here on these forums. Im sure some of you Tech Heads have asked and answered this question already. This post may not belong in this topic but I had a hard time trying to figure where it went.

bp9801 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 lol, I think it's just more the guys who have the new consoles haven't been on here yet. Give it some more time I say. I'll be picking up a PS4 before long. Nearly got one today at Walmart, but there aren't a ton of games I want to try out right now for it.

ir_cow Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 well the the newest generation both are using some custom AMD stuff but it's like the onboard FM1/2 chips . can play games at 1080p without AA/AF but the difference is now they have a ton of VRAM (8gb total for the system) Xbox = GeForce 3 Xbox 360 = X1950xt ps3= GeForce 7800gtx new generation = 5850?

WhenKittensATK Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I would honestly wait till next year when the big console games release. Nothing to play on next gen right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryTaco Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Well Actually my belief is that I have a plenty powerful enough system to run almost any game at High Rez and 60hz or more so why do I need a console. Besides for me I prefer my Stealth Merc keyboard with an integrated Claw set-up and a mouse. I was just very curious how far they had come in terms of Graphics Power... thank you for everyone with all your suggestions. I am enlightened once again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 I like consoles because of a few things . mainly I like knowing people aren't cheating and being able to pick up and play instead of having to install or reinstall stuff. I put the disc in and it works, no hassle . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 I swear I spend more time on Orgins and steam trying to get a game to work than playing it . a good example is metro 2033 . the physx crashes the game at start and the only fix if you run into this error is to uninstall the game . uninstall the GeForce drivers , install only the drivers and not the physx , than reinstall metro and use it's physx drivers that install with the game . spent more time messing with that than ever playi the game . I a list of games and i could go for a while. . instead playin console games save me headaches . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Nvidia problems In all seriousness, I guess I'll choose Metro 2033 as my next Desktop game so we'll see if I have the same problem(s) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUZi0N Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 There's certain games I'd rather play on PC and others I like to play on consoles. Bioshock/Metro for example I prefer PC but AC4/Watch Dogs I'll definitely be playing on my PS4.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
