    Nope. They are usually around the same. Console ports look the same generally. The thing about computer games is you can play them in true full 1920x1080p, where you can't with PS3 or Xbox360. it's 720p, or 1080i. So you'd need something more like a GTX 460 and a non console port game to compare the differences.

    The PS3 has a chip based off of the GeForce 7800 and the Xbox has a custom ATI chip based off of the X1900. Theoretically, the GT 440 should be a bit better. However, Playstation and Xbox games have the advantage that they are made for only one set of hardware, which allows them to do optimizations that a PC game, which needs to run on a whole bunch of different graphics cards, can't do. It will probably be about the same.

    The Xbox 360 and PS3 are SIX YEARS OLD! A Nvidia GT440 is at least 4x better than the video card a PS3 has.
