movies look better on my ps3?

[driverdj2000]

i recently just put together a new build.
i didnt buy a high end graphic card (sapphire radeon hd 4650 ultimate edition) as i dont game but watch blurays etc on it.
the thing is i tested a bluray on both a ps3 and my pc and the picture honestly looks sharper and crisper on the ps3.
not much better but better all the same.
why is this? would a more expensive graphics card give a better picture.
im using a 32" hdtv

I have an htpc with a 128 bit 4650 and its plenty even for 1080p upconverting. How is it connected to the tv? HDMI?

Also, what player are you using? I'd download ffdshow here and follow the guide. Then, I'd install mediaportal and streamedmp from here. Also, they say EVR video rendering is better but I find VMR9 with gaussian quad filtering to be better.

for bluray im using power dvd 9 and for playing movie files vlc.
