Can 7900gtx & x1900xtx graphics beat xbox 360 & ps3 graphics with a dual core processor?
 
Beat as in ? They have totally diff API. Xbox 360's Xenos though has next generation features like unified shaders, etc. PS3 has G70 derivative. The only plus point the consoles have are they are very cheap compared to gaming rigs.

i'am talking about graphical details.
 
I would say PC for its raw power. But then again I dont thnk games have yet harnessed Xenos power yet. Chaos will be able to shed more light on the same.
 
The PS3 Graphics are 6800 Derived.

The XBox 360 are r420 derived.

Go figure :).

The 7900/x1900's can do much better Graphics for sure.

Plus, the Physics Engine which nVidia are releasing. No console will ever even catch up with the PC.
 
^^The Xenos is NOT an R420 derivative! You have some reading up to catch up on.

To quote B3d

So, Why Not Now for the PC?

The most immediate question that comes to mind is if all the graphics elements that are seen within the XBOX 360 are so good, why aren't we seeing it in the PC space yet?

Xenos's particular range of features are going into a closed box environment, hence the API can be tailored to expose all of the features of the chip, however on the PC space graphics processors really need to be tailored to the capabilities of the current DirectX release. This is where Xenos has an issue in that its features and capabilities are clearly beyond the current Shader Model 3.0 DirectX9 specification while it lacks features that are expected to be a requirement for WGF2.0.

The Xenos in terms of pure tech is the best gpu currently available. However its designed to run only at 720p so is no match in terms of either memory bandwidth or pixel pushing power to the current crop of GPUs. The next gen of PC gpus will be even faster. About the PS3 gpu, the less said the better :P. Its just a castrated G70 derivative.
 
When the best looking X360 game right now is a 2 year old PC game that looks/runs excellent on 9700 Pro's, I think you'll be significantly overshooting the goal with that config.

Get a WoW subscription and play that. It's only requires a mouse most of the time and will keep the anxiety away...
 
Well..

Whatever :P.. I didnt really read up much about the x360, since is sucked :).

I only read up on the PS3. Which i know is a 6800 Derivative, but with the Unified Shader.

Its a G70 derivative aka Geforce 7 series, and it doesnt have unified shaders AFAIK.
 
lol goldy you made two significant breakthroughs today :P

Firstly that the Xenos is r420 based :P and the RSX makes a unified shader approach :rofl:

Sadly both are wrong :P

@udit: The current cards i.e. 7900gt and x1900xt though faster than whats inside the ps3 and x360, a console is a very different beast. You really cannot compare it as such.
 
Just one thing: all PCs use "primitive", highly "inferior" x86 processors. the PS3 will use the Cell processor. So, even if the PS3 has an inferior graphics subsystem, I think it will have its share of advantages over the PC.
