Default Nvidia GeForce 9600GT Vs. PS3

Hello,
I'm getting a gaming computer and it will have a GeForce 9600GT in it. Could you please tell me which would be better, an Nvidia GeForce 9600GT or a PS3?
Thanks

It mainly depends on what you like if you like console games more than PC games, the PS3 would be better, but it you prefer PC games, the PC would be better. And when you say you are "getting a gaming computer and it will have a GeForce 9600GT in it" it doesn't say anything about the rest of the PC which would contribute, if for example, you get a 9600GT and get a P4 CPU the P4 will be the bottleneck, but if you get a 9600GT with a Core 2 CPU, the 9600GT will be limiting. So if you are wanting to know which will play games better, post the rest of your specs, and which games you want to play, then we can try and decide which would play the games better. But the main factor is if you prefer PC or console games.

Thanks,
but what I meant was which is more powerful. here are my specs:
AMD Athlon 6400+ X2
2G of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
(Don't know the name of the motherboard, but it can easily handle the card)

Your welcome, you might want to wait a little for other people's opinions though before you go buy anything.

Hmmm I'm not so sure.

It really just depends on what sort of games you want to play - all games look equally good on the PS3 but as new games come out for PC they start not looking as good.

Have you bought the PC yet? How much do they want for it?

Generally speaking if you compare some guy with a PS3 and some guy with a 9600GT, the guy with the 9600GT is likely going to be on a higher resolution monitor than the average guy on a PS3 who may have a SD or 720p TV.

It depends more on the quality of your display than the quality of the system.

I got the 9600GT OC with a AMD 4600+ dualcore cpu and a PS3 in truth id say go for the PC,
I have Assassins creed and racedriver GRID for both pc and PS3 both on the same 40'' hitachi HD LCD tv running same resolution and the pc version looks more crisp and seems to have more deatail on it, plus the pc seems to load the game/next mission etc a lot faster too than the PS3 Only thing i seem to do is play them more on the PS as it more of a convenience not having to wait to boot the PC, lazy really.
