I don't think he's talking about a direct comparison between the Quake 4 versions, more of a general graphics comparison with some of the PC's best looking games.
I'd say the 360 either matches or exceeds the majority (all?) PC games in terms of graphics, although obviously this depends on the game. Take games like Just Cause, Dead Risng, GRAW, Splinter Cell:DA, Saints Row, Fight Night Rd 3 etc. When played in HD these are some of the best looking games i've ever seen. Easily matching the graphical heavyweights in PC gaming.

I was in awe of the Ice level of Splinter Cell.. how it compairs to a PC version remains to be seen but I would be supprised if it was as good (at decent frame rates..).. I would put my money on X360 wining this for now at least..

if you have 2X 7950GX2 in quad SLI and 2 gigs of RAM, I think it will beat the best the 360 has to offer but otherwise, yeah its 360 for now!!!

In the instance of Quake 4, it was a VERY bad port and was rushed to make the launch line up titles. It should have and could have been better.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

no it wouldnt for one simple fact with 2 of those you might get nice framerates and a high res but it cant produce better graphics that the 360 GPU simply because the xbox360 has better shaders etc etc. you buy two directx 9 gpus and theyre still just dx9 gpus with faster clocks improved cores. Also there's a major update coming to the 360 in november that also updates the graphics drivers on the console and from the poerpoint presentation microsoft game to devs which was leaked onto the net there's some meaty improvments coming that fix the tearing issues.
Quake 4 was a bad port because of open GL. Xbox360 is purely a dx based system so wrappers etc had to be written for opengl/doom engine to function corrently on the 360, so what ur really playing is quake4 emulated in a sense. Plus the doom3 engine at the time (not sure if it does now or not thru 3rd party modification) doesnt suppourt multicore'd multi threaded cpus thus limiting it further
