PS3's CPU can do either graphics and ram so that's why Sony didn't really put high ram and GPU.

ok. the guy in the video said that this was all created using just the cell processor? am i right? wow

Xi5883d ago

and any gpu can also do physics. Doesn't mean it's good at that.

Also, the raytracing video required 3 ps3 and an ibm blade.

The disagrees are probably because it's a PC tech article and you decided to bring the ps3 into it (obviously without reading any part of the article). It's a relevance thing ;)

Do you know what the function is of RAM? CPU's can't do RAM my friend.

The dedicated PC GPU will always be the best in terms of raw graphics and power for gaming.

I'm not too surprised - most games have been GPU-bottlenecked for a while, and most system builders tend to sink more of their money into the GPU than the CPU.

A GPU upgrade will always provide more bang for your buck.

100% agree! btw, love your avatar! :)

the E2160 overclocks to 3.0 GHz with the stock cooler and voltage, I wonder why they only pushed it to 2.3, then said that its speed was bottlenecking the budget CPU setup?

but the conclusion is valid - if you're building a gaming PC rig, overclock a cheap CPU and spend the money saved on a bad boy GPU.

a couple of 8800GTs in SLI would be a better way to spend the money than a 9800GTX though.

Let’s School review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."

I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.

"Can we get a redeploy option? Or a killzone?" Helldivers 2 players want this change

After being forced under the map with no way to escape, Helldivers 2 was an option added to force respawn so they can get back to action.
