Unreal 3 Engine at E3 video.
Cool video taken by a member at nvnews.net. It show's the next unreal running on a dual 6800 ultra setup. It also shows what the guys at Epic are doing with the Aegia PPU. Amazing physics engine. http://www.nvnews.net/articles/e3_20...alengine3.html There is a picture here of the PPU at E3. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...&highlight=ppu

I'll probably buy a PPU when it comes out. It may be that upgrading your CPU for games will become mute if your computer is equipped with a PPU and a GPU.

Is anyone even going to upgrade their computer to get top of the line graphics anymore? I mean after seeing all the next generation console games who is stupid enough to spend $400 for a pc graphic card now? Maybe the grahpic artists, but seriously, what pc game can even compare to the stuff at e3. I'd probably wait until the pc can have an advantage again to upgrade anything.

There is nothing quite like having the freedom of internet gaming.. well, the consoles do have this feature now, but not nearly as good as the pc.. Especially if you have to use a controller instead of keyboard and mouse ![]() I have only just made my own setup and it cost somewhere in the range of £1400 and even more now because i have to buy some memory that got stolen . Incase you were wondering, that is well over 2 grand in dollars

I also hear that these next gen consoles will allow you to use your computer keyboard and mouse with them. Hence why these new consoles have USB ports as standard.

The thing that sucks (for our wallets) is that, PC will soon catch up and surpass the next-gen consoles and they are going to be *expensive*. basic gamer's setup: $200+ CPU $300+ GPU $250+ PPU $100+ RAM $100+ Mobo $50+ PSU $150+ etc.

The best looking stuff at E3 this year will be released on both PCs and next gen consoles. Such Alan Wake and Unreal Engine 3 games.

http://www.gdhardware.com/files/agei...de_by_side.wmv A small marketing demo for the PPU. Looks interesting even if it might be a bit exagerated.

I’m wondering if patches for already released games will be made to take advantage of this. Like Far cry and AMD 64.

It may help increase performance for the ragdoll effects in most of the older games, but not much else. HL2 with it's Havoc Physics engine may benefit from a PPU enabled patch though. With these next gen console's being such physics powerhouses, PC gamer's are definately going to need a PPU to have the same kind of things on their end.

>You sir, are an idiot.. Every real gamer knows nothing can beat the PC in terms of playability/lastability.. and especially graphics, the new cards coming out towards the end of this year will see to what the next-gen consoles have. As are you 'sir'. This generation is already lightyears ahead of what we've seen from twin linked 6800Us. Looking further down your post at: >I have only just made my own setup and it cost somewhere in the range of £1400 and even more now because i have to buy some memory that got stolen . Incase you were wondering, that is well over 2 grand in dollars ![]() That explains why PCs are in trouble. £1k for a top end PC (At chrimbo I bought a top end PC for 1.1K for a friend of mine) with good graphics as developers work for the lowest common denominator, or ~£300 for a brand new console with spoogeworthy graphics blowing away what the PC is showing. As the consoles age, they will become more attractive as developers better get to gips with them showing of further graphical splendour and the prices fall. There is something to be said for the console way:

I am going to have to type differently after this, people are getting offended by my posts.. :-p I do agree that consoles are very good for the price, just simply saying the PC has the whole multimedia aspect.. Whether things will change is yet to be seen, hopefuly the PPU's will be released.. if they dont fail that is.. the only problem with another addon is that cash is once again put into the equation. I also agree that graphics cards are too expensive, and has anyone noticed here that when doom 3 came out.. it wasnt totally smooth running? even when i had bought the 6800 ultra that is in my other setup the game was not without its jerkiness. I think maybe they are not developing the cards good enough for the software made for it, otherwise every new game released should run full speed without any slow down. I hope things will change when new cards are released.

I hope things will change when new cards are released. Actualy the problem is that developers are either developing games for the lowest common denominator, making it look crap and not perform excessively well on newer HW (given that SM2.0 and SM3.0 added faster shader rendering along with the image quality increase), or games are developed for hardware that doiesn't exist, like in the case of Doom 3

I think that eventually consoles and PC's are just going to merge into a multimedai center, both platforms are heading that way, I'm telling you, you'll have your "computer" to surf the internet and do office work, and you'll have your mulitmedia center which will play games, music, movies, control your tv subscription (i.e. cable, sattilite, attenna), as well as some other minor things.
