    There was another thread on COD MW2. I wanted to know, what modern video cards compare to the consoles?

    Meaning, if the xbox has a ati Xenos with tri core cpu and the ps3 has 3.2mhz cpu with RSX gpu (???) then what does it take to run games like COD MW2 at the same resolution?

    Here is some information I found...

    Rsx pipelines
    -24 shader pipelines.
    -each pipeline produces 5.7 ops.{(shader opperations per second)
    -a total of 136 sops
    ATI pipelines
    -48 shader pipelines.
    -each pipeline produces 2 ops
    -a total of 96 sops.{(shader opperations per second)

    I am sure someone will chime in and say this has been discussed before and to move the thread.. I am fine with that. I am just curious as to what mainstream configurations will compare or beat the console configs for gaming. Thanks so much!
