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

Xi6213d 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.

The Blood of Dawnwalker Trailer

The new trailer has dropped and looks interesting.

Have to say....the more I see of this game the less impressed i am unfortunately. The reveal trailer had me so interested, but the last 2 looks at the game have been underwhelming.

It seems that they are trying to do too much.
