When High End Gaming Machines Fight

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pc-as-a-console dept.

mikemuch writes "Games for Windows Magazine and ExtremeTech teamed up to determine which prebuilt high-end PC delivers the ultimate game performance in terms of frame-rate and ability to yield the highest game quality settings on large displays. The winner, VoodooPC's Omen, features an Intel Core 2 Duo QX6800 processor and two Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX's in SLI configuration. It delivers over 15,000 3DMarks (as do a few of the other contestants), but 'only' costs $5,700 — in contrast with some of the other machines that go for close to eight grand."

    Umm PS3 cant hit 15000 3dmarks for life. Its roughly 1/8th in power of such PC (without nitpicking on the fact that there is no 3dmark for ps3)

    Yeah, but is it powerful enough to run Vista?
