What does the PS3 match up to against a Pc or MAC?

Question

comparing to the graphics to a computer or a apple? how much money would u invest to achieve the same graphics from a PS@ on a PC or a MAC?

Answer 1

Probably about the same as the console itself, maybe even less depending on how you build or buy the system.

It's hard to judge though, without playing consoles on small/high resolution screens like CRT/LCD monitors. So it's hard to gauge console graphics versus PC/Mac graphics without a testing environment.

Answer 2

Well, probably not alot compared to what graphics processors are out there on the market. If you take a regular desktop PC, for example and modify it with Intel Duo core 2 processors and put the ATI Readon graphics cards, I would say you would get the same power as you would get on a desktop PC. However, the cost is much lower for a computer, but the whole reason why the PS3 is expensive is becuase it has the good graphics and it has the internet browser built-in to it. Personally, I would get a MAC or PC speaking from experience and sensibility.

Answer 3

after windows vista comes out, and more importantly, direct x 10 with it, there will no comparison between pc graphics vs mac or ps3. Although a good gaming computer will cost you more than a ps3 would. The latest top end direct x10 compatable video cards out now are $599, less if you find a deal, but for the graphics quality will blow away anything out there. Just be patient and upgrade this spring.

Answer 4

Wait till DX 10 comes out Computers will blow the PS3 away graphically

youll spend more on a computer but whens the last time you payed your bills,chatted with your mom,downloaded recipes for your girl and check your email with a PS3?

Answer 5

The major difference is that you don't have the overhead of the os on a PS3 that you do with a PC.
