Author Topic: IGN's 360 vs. PS3 Hardware Throwdown (Read 2019 times)

Wasn't the ps3 originally going to be released with lower powered graphics? It was supposed to be only Cell doing good graphics. Sony just added the graphics chip for developers to port games.

Dunno. But i do know that the ps3 lags a bit from all the havok physics in demons souls when the dragons like FIREBWAAAWWWHHH, Yes that's as far as i've gotten.

In my opinion, devs need to start using PhysX, it's free for the devs, and it works with the GPU.

But for ps3 you want something that works with the cpu not the gpu.

But if you're using the CPU more for graphics, you've freed up the GPU to be used as a PPU.

You can't draw everything on a cpu bro.

On another note i really hate the dogs down in that tunnel.

True. But nVidia's providing PhysX for free for devs, so they should use it.
