MHB430 Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I duno about PC looking better...than xbox yet i dont want to judge xbox either. But after seeing DOA3 anything can happen. But i wll get it on XBOX because its main function is to play games so a console will always be better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norin Radd Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Well let's see, the XBOX specs are as follows: CPU: 733 MHz chip crafted by Intel Graphics Processor: 250MHz custom chip named XGPU, developed by Microsoft and nVIDIA Total Memory: The RAM in the Xbox will be supplied by Micron, it will be 64 MB running at 200MHz DDR (Double-Data-Rate) Memory Bandwidth: 6.4 GB/sec Polygon Performance: 125 M/sec Sustained Polygon Performance: 100+ M/sec (transformed and lit polygons per second) Micropolygons/particles per second: 125 M/sec Particle Performance: 125 M/sec Simultaneous Textures: 4 Pixel Fill Rate - No Texture: 4.0 G/Sec (anti-aliased) Pixel Fill Rate - 1 Texture: 4.0 G/Sec (anti-aliased) Compressed Textures: Yes (6:1) Full Scene Anti-Alias: Yes Micro Polygon Support: Yes Storage Medium: 2-5x DVD, 10GB hard disk, 8MB memory card I/0: 2-5x DVD, 10GB hard disk, 8MB memory card Audio Channels:64 (up to 256 stereo voices) 3D Audio Support: Yes MIDI DLS2 Support: Yes AC3 Encoded Game Audio: Yes Broadband Enabled: Yes Modem Enabled: No DVD Movie Playback: Remote control package required Maximum Resolution: 1920x1080 Maximum Resolution (2x32bpp frame buffers +Z): 1920x1080 HDTV Support: Yes Controller Ports: 4 USB Ports My Computer at the moment : Pentium III 601 Mhz processor(that is the way my computer reads it. Strange). 512MB SD RAM NVIDIA GeForce 2MMX 64MB Video Card Creative Labs Soundblaster Live Value 5.1 Sound Card. 40 GB Hard Drive 2 USB Ports Fastlink Ethernet Adapter DVD-ROM CD-RW So, it looks like overall my system is beneath the XBOX in terms of performance. The XBOX video card is a GeForce 3. However, my Jedi Master system will be built this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 the xbox gpu is faster than a GeForce 3, and is somewhere between it and a GeForce 4... plus, the fact that the xbox has an integrated driver/direct x system make it MUCH faster than any pc with much higher specs... why ? because pcs have to be compatible with millions of possible components... the pc's gpu talks though the driver with direct x, whcih contacts the game.... much slower...

Norin Radd Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Interesting. Plus, you don't get crashes with console games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 don't say that.... my ps2 had quite some crashes... at least on the old tv, seems solved now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norin Radd Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Really? You probably got a PS2 when it was first released. Many of the first 200,000 or so had some problems with crashing and overheating. They had solved these problems by the time the second shipment of consoles left the factory. The only problem I ever had with mine was a PS1 game, Metal Gear Solid locked up on me once. No other problems. No crashes or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covenant_bad Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I think the xbox version will be cool, coz u can sit back on your couch in complete comfort while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baku Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Originally posted by jingato Also, aside from the comfort of your couch, many people such as my self have large screen HDTV's, which gives an excellent picture. And I'd rather use a controller. I too have a HDTV as well as a first class home theatre system with Dolby Digital encoding. Because of these feature my Xbox Far out weights my PC. The Xbox has been nothing short of pure gaming pleasure. THis system is finially going to make huge strides this Fall and KOTOR will be leading the way!
