Hi all,
I thought I would let you know my humble opinion on the PC v PS3 v Xbox 360 topic.
My PS3 setup is on a 42" Pioneer Plasma using the Wheelstand Pro (would recommend to anyone) and use the Logitech Driving Force GT. I Decided to buy the PS3 version so I didn't have to upgrade my PC.
I love this setup but can't always get to the tv as the Mr's and kids watch the most of the time.
A few weeks ago I decided to buy a new PC anyway but not the top of the range by any means, as my daughter keeps hijacking the PC. She got my old one and I got a I5 Quad core 760 @ 2.80 overclocked to 4.02, 4Gb Ram, ATI 4850 GFX and Win 7 64.
It kept on bugging me that I should try F1 2010 on this PC but I wasn't sure if it would run well, plus all the issues and bugs that are around.
I finally decided to download the Steam version of F1 2010 to compare it to the PS3 Version. After battling my way through the GFWL setup, I finally managed to launch the game.
I installed the latest Logitech profiler software and pluged in the Logitech DFGT.
I set all the GFX options to high and 4xMSAA Fraps tells me It's averaging between 35-40FPS.
I noticed there was barley any FFB. I checked a couple of posts on the forum and adjusted a few settings in the profiler and ingame and was shocked at the difference. The PC FFB is amazing the car feels alive through the wheel. The graphics on the PC version are far clearer and polished the the PS3.
I think I'll be upgrading my GFX card in a few weeks time.
I think I will struggle to go back to the ps3 version although I had just got to Brazil in my 1st season. The PC version will rule from now on.
What I have noticed on both versions is that the AI don't always pit a 40% or 50% race and both have the ghosting through the pit entry/exit.
That's my take on it
