thsoundman sends in a blog post from Rahul Sood, CTO of HP's gaming business, who claims there was once a project in development at Microsoft to let Xbox users compete against PC users playing the same game. According to Sood, the project was killed because the console players kept getting destroyed by their PC counterparts. He wrote, "Those of us who have been in the gaming business for over a decade know the real deal. You simply don't get the same level of detail or control as you do with a PC over a console. It's a real shame that Microsoft killed this mdash; because had they kept it alive it might have actually increased the desire of game developers and gamers alike to continue developing and playing rich experiences on the PC, which would trickle down to the console as it has in the past."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F07%2F23%2F2127253%2FPC-Gamers-Too-Good-For-Consoles-Gamers" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=PC+Gamers+Too+Good+For+Consoles+Gamers%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F9ZR88o" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/07/23/2127253/PC-Gamers-Too-Good-For-Consoles-Gamers?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1730536amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframe pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/msyM1mmH3k4" height="1" width="1"/

Vigile writes "Few people will doubt that PC gaming is in need of a significant shot in the arm with the consistent encroachment of consoles and their dominating hold on developers. Today AMD is releasing the Radeon HD 5870 graphics card based on the Evergreen-series of GPUs first demonstrated in June. Besides offering best-in-class performance for a single-GPU graphics board, the new card is easily the most power efficient in terms of idle power consumption and performance per watt. Not only that, but AMD has introduced new features that could help keep PC gaming in the spotlight, including the first DirectX 11 implementation and a very impressive multi-monitor gaming technology, Eyefinity, which we discussed earlier this month. The review at PC Perspective includes the full gamut of gaming benchmarks in both single- and dual-GPU configurations as well as videos of Eyefinity running on three 30" displays."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/09/23/1530251/AMD-Radeon-HD-5870-Adds-DX11-Multi-Monitor-Gaming?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/09/23/1530251"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/09/23/1530251/AMD-Radeon-HD-5870-Adds-DX11-Multi-Monitor-Gaming?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5siHlX19un4RQnQHey0Pf2O8xoI/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5siHlX19un4RQnQHey0Pf2O8xoI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5siHlX19un4RQnQHey0Pf2O8xoI/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5siHlX19un4RQnQHey0Pf2O8xoI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/EjizF_Y2ui4" height="1" width="1"/
