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

Mr Fancy Pants6515d ago

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

Xi6515d 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.

funkeystu6515d ago

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.

Capcom Says Pragmata Sold 1 Million Copies in 2 Days

Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced.

Capcom is the best developer of all time. Consistent hit over many years .

DivineHand1251h ago

I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.

Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.

Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.

The_Hooligan33m ago

Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol

The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌

CD is so big I’ll play it all year and squeeze shorter games inbetween

jznrpg30m ago

I preordered it long ago. Going to start it later this evening

solideagle, maybe the article is wrong but it mentions BG3 as the other.

CrimsonWing691h ago

It’s good, but I’m getting tired of seeing how overrated it’s getting.

andy854m ago

It just wasn't for you in that way i guess. Can't really argue with it when it wins all the awards and it's the highest rating by players of all time
