Imagine tearing through today's most advanced PC games with an unheard of 41 gigapixels per second of raw graphics performance, 5.2 teraflops of compute power, 96 pixel pipes, and an astounding 2 GB of on-board graphics memory. Nothing can stop you when you have this kind of hardware on your side.
Now imagine yourself doing all of this at extreme HD resolutions with everything turned on.
A Quad-SLI PC lets you run your favorite games at an unbelievably high resolution of 2560x1600 while maintaining silky smooth frame rates. In addition, support for a new 32x antialiasing mode and 16x anisotropic filtering enables stunning visuals.
You are going to wait one hell of a long time for that and who needs 32x aa? you can barely tell the difference between 6aa+8af and 6aa+16af, so 32 is just overkill. I don't mean i don't want that pc...
Oh come on. Sony and Microsoft are the bullshit kings. Do you honestly believe the Xbox360 and PS3 are more powerful than most high end desktop PCs? Plus, even with 4 7800 GTX 512s, you would not be able to run 32XAA at a resolution of 2560x1600.(On most games)
You still won't see the 32X and like you said 4 cards will still have shit running that AA. About the consoles: they can push their power further but the PC always wins in the end. PS2 graphics are still pretty incredible for a 333. I think this time the PC wins hands down, sony said that the ps3 will give 7800 performance so i think we win this round. However if killzone shows what it did i am likely to convert.
I think the PS3 and Xbox360 both have great graphics for a 400$ game console, but many [i]idiots[i] think they have or will have better graphics than the best PCs out. Look at the X1900; new hardware comes out every few months, making it impossible for a 400$ game console to keep up.
32xAA sounds pretty sweet but it comes with big price tag. I play BF2 with only 2xAA and everything else is max. It's good enough for me @ around 80Fps, 32xAA wow eye-chocolate-coated-candy. I wonder about the performance though in terms of frame rates? I favor on performance over quality.
