Tried a PS3 today. · DIGIT-ARC

So today I bought a cheap used Phat PS3 solely to play the exclusives
1) Uncharted Series.
2) Red Dead Redemption.
3) Legend of Heroes Sen no Kiseki.
4) God Of War series.
5) Last of Us.

Initial impression = Looks **** on a 1440p screen.

All hail the glory of the PC Master Race.

Some comparisons.

what do you expect from a console that was released in 2006?
it can display few games in 1080p and rest all on 720p @30fps

It would be stupid to even compared an old gen Console to a modern gaming rig and then crib about poor graphics.
It's obviously going to look like sh:t on a resolution it is not meant to process.

+1
Also, the 1440p res monitor would make everything blurry to add to the misery.
I suggest using a 720p tv or a 1080p TV for ps3

buying a PS4 would be a better choice now
and most of the PS3 exclusive are released as Enhanced edition packages for PS4

I don't really see the need.
PC's are getting a decent amount of good games at a relatively lower cost.
you cannot get 4k games on ps4 so if you are a graphics freak then the console is not for you.
But if you want hassle free gaming and exclusives then you can look for a console.

No No don't compare it with PC.
it was just meant for PS3 vs PS4 buying now
and OP bought PS3 to play Xclusive titles

I guess the Nvidia fanboy is trying hard to get into Nvidia.

Some comparisons.

How about you compare The Last of Us to a PC from 2006? That would be fair. I find it ridiculous that you could even assume that making a comparison between a PC that runs the Witcher 3 to a PS3 would make any sense.

I guess we should start comparing PS2 games to The Witcher 3 at 4K with an SLI Titan X

Witcher 3 is already at 1440p maxed out. I go even further, The last of us would probably get destroyed beyond recognition.

Picking on one of the Games of last gen and comparing it a modern pc is your idea of a joke? That's a pretty juvenile sense of humour you have there

Exactly my point (sarcasm). It's not a fair comparison.

Lol, why don't you compare Metal Gear Solid 3 to Metal Gear Solid V and laugh at it then

PS3 would get destroyed even if I compared MGSV on both.

But, we knew this already, genius

. Just like the PS4 destroys the PSone. There was no need to start a thread about it. But please, if stating the obvious is your thing, by all means, start another thread

yep. Witcher 3 1440p maxed out 50+ FPS.

That's pretty cool portable setup equivalent to a full fledged desktop.

Yeah, a brief tour in relevant section will be informative.

Basically that dock houses a desktop GPU of your choice or in his case a 980 Ti and whenever you dock the laptop to it you can drive a monitor connected to the GPU and use the laptop as a desktop
And that laptop plus dock only cost sth around 2000$
GPU is not included with the dock

Comes out cheaper than a similarly powered GTX 980Ti desktop.

[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] how do you take out the time to create these no use rant only threads?

- - - Updated - - -

@Mods: this is clearly a rant thread. no one in their right state of mind will compare a 2006, last gen console to a newer PC with 980ti.
I implore you all to move this to chit chat sub.

Buy the 12 GB version. It was going for 12-13k last time I checked for a deal, Add 1 TB 2.5" laptop hdd to it.

As for games, buy 2nd hand ones from ivg, etc.

Original games are so cheap anyways. I got the 80GB PS3 for 4k with 2 wireless controllers and added a 1TB HDD to it.

22k is too much. At that price, I can get a PS4.

I got the PS3 Phat lol. They're all the same hardware wise.

That's some niceee setup!! Same model for dual monitor setup is a must IMO. What makes the setup to look nice are screens!
So many screens!!! Run Matrix code screensaver on all of them and post again!

Awesome Setup [MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION]. The monitor on the top looks lonely though

Removed some posts. Let's not steer away too far.
[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] here is my brother's setup. Helped him assemble new PC.

I really like the monitor but I can't upgrade my setup now. Not for 1 year.

[MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION] , triple monitor Set-ups are awesome! Only problem is that you need a damn powerful graphic card to run them.
I limited myself to dual monitor at current situation. FHD+HD because of this. Have plans for Dual monitor (22+22) and a 40" HDTV on top of them next year.

Triple monitor breaks up the seamless experience. While the above posted ultrawide is just the right thing I am looking for. Imagine watching movies on it ? Or playing a game. It's simple to setup too.

Curved ultrawide monitors are even better.

I don't think movies are made to be viewed in the 16:10 Aspect Ratio.

Ultrawide is 21:9 not 16:10
Also watching movie is epic cause that's the aspect ratio of cinema

Where did you buy the monitor from and how much did it cost? I'm also thinking of going for a single ultrawide monitor. Multiple screens are a pain in the rear when switching between different PCs.

Not my system. Assembled for brother. He is not in India.

But you can see the listing of similar but not same model monitor on Amazon.in
