Well if ure gfx car is 2 yrs old i can assure you what your computer is outputting compared to the lastest is utter Gash mate plain and simple! 

That may be the case, but the graphics you can get from a 2 year old card are still leagues ahead of what any console is capable of producing (I know as my GTX 265 is still amazing me lol). I dont have a preference personally but I do know that I cant stand shootemups/anything where you have to direct a charicter on consoles (the control systems are not good enough using a pad for me) and that, without spending fortunes on an expensive steering wheel, consoles are better for driving games. My PC is by no means up to date but it still makes everything look much better than a current generation console will and it has the extra flexibility of letting me use CAD and all of the other tools I play around with, not to mention keeping me in the loop regarding the use of PC based software etc that can be used in the workplace. The bottom line for me is that some people just like consoles because they are easy to use and they will never fully utilise a PC so there is no reason for them to go that route, but for those of us who like to use our PC's more fully, both is a better strategy.

I wasnt saying my card is still as good a new cards today, that would obviously be stupid. I'm saying it is still capable of playing new games on top settings.

And you cant tell me it isn't as it does it every day  :wink:

This argument is a no brainer.

Modern PCs will always have better GFX as theyre always updating hardware. Xbox hardware is 6 years old now. I doubt a PC built on 6 year old hardware (which cost, say £200 6 years ago) would play any modern game  :tongue:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

My 2003 PC plays modern games still, it does however run with twin Geforce cards and have 8gb of paired corsair ram.......
My new PC cost me £380 with 21" HD screen, I have added an ATI card (£150) and overclocked the Quad processor.
I play graphic heavy online games at full speed with no issues, Consoles are best for gay point and shoot games like COD, hence I dont play them real man me......
