Hi, I need to convince my brother to get a PC rather than a 360, because everyone knows Flight Sim isn't on Xbox.
I need a shot of what our proposed computer will do. If you have a similar computer to the one we might be getting (8800GT 512, core 2 Duo) please take a screenshot preferably not flight Sim, so i can compare that to a 360. (Please don't skimp on the quality.)

Maybe if you could take one on the highest settings, and one on the highest but still playable settings that would be great! I'm not sure if it will be better or not but there's no harm in trying.

I think he's into First person shooter (airborne, vegas2) and so on, so if you have those games or similar and the computer to match please sent your submissions to...nah just post'em here.

Thanks so much,

Nick

Nothing beats a PS3/360 for shooting games etc. The Graphics are superb!

I dont think a screenshot will help you. My System, not close to those standards (I have a good Graphics Card though, similar to that one)- I can set my card up to produce awesome quality etc, but my frame rates would be like 3 FPS, so you cant even play the game.

EDIT- For me, when playing the odd Racing Game, or GTA etc, my graphics and preformance own the equivilent in FS2004/X, which seems to be a very high demanding game (duhh)

Yeah, I don't have a single game on my PC, but heaps on the 360. It's just so much easier.
