exclusively like they did in the 8800 series G80 cards. Combining vertex and pixel pipelines allows easier workload for constant varied scenes (whether pixel heavy or vertices (geometry) heavy) all they way to "sampling" pixels in AA modes. Programmers have asked for this for a long time, allowing many amazing thins to be done in shaders. The huge switch will become very apparent as that is the main focus of DX10 for Windows Vista. 16multisampling AA for example takes 16 samples...
LOL thanks for the compliment
Glad to know I'm aging gracefully, although I'm far from right out of high school, let me see that was before the Army, before College, and before full-time jobs, yes I do in fact remember high school way back when. So, poor child try arguing the points. Yes, I'm sure you were using fiber optics on the old machines, for online gaming, lol. Wow, Kung Fu side scroller action was a little after Karate, and was a fun arcade game, trying to make it to the top ...
It just takes some time to write a researched piece and not throw out blatantly wrong, and fanboyish comments. GPU wise the RSX is severely out-preformed by the Xenos. CPU wise is a different story with the cell much more capable (depending on program than the 3 core CPU for 360). At least I know which fan boy is taking my bubbles this week.
"You're showing your lack of knowledge here. Xenos either does all or nothing with the EDRAM. If you go outside of it, you take a performance hit, since many of those "free" effects that the 360 has aren't "free" anymore, and the system costs skyrocket. Furthermore, its entirely possible you CAN'T go outside of it since all the ROPS are in there as well as where all the completed pixels are put together. You have to create pieces of the framebuffer at a time (called t...
Great to be a gamer (period), rock on all consoles, we are in for a great fews years!
Well stated article. Picture quality more to do with your source and TV than with cables in the digital era (when speaking of the same connection type of course).
This would imply almost a straight copy, while it is far from that. Even Oblivion for PS3 versus the 360, is not a "port". The game will have three new levels. It will feature enhanced graphics. It will be installable (not sure how that makes a crap of difference). It will feature 60 FPS (enhanced graphically).
It will be good for Sony fans who have not tread the microsoft waters, but is it 90% the same as the first? Yes. Is it worth picking up by someone who h...
"The figures are correct, but there's a lot of fallacies in there, not to mention the articles you're quoting are mostly "best guess" about the RSX, a chip which is essentially closer to a G71 than a G70 LOL."
Actually those numbers like you say are correct, just because you disagree with something doesn't make it a fallacy. The only guess work done in the article is how Sony makes higher claims about how the RSX is more powerful than a 7800GTX, both of whi...
I've been playing fighting games since Karate was new and high tech so don't give me your blatant fanboy crap. Gee, your buddy plays DOA4 (I'm sure), if you have a host who can follow bandwidth recommendations these will be no noticable lag, skill will still win. The fights between non-host combatants (which in the case of DOA4 is almost all fights) are equal, which is what on-line gaming should be about equality. As for your old @ss fighter examples, let me guess you playing on 56k dialup ...
These are parts of greatly informative articles where I draw information from in comparing the two GPU's for the systems, do the reading and you may learn something, if not may explain potentials minus the CPU's of course.
As for Xenos:
"... ATI's Xbox 360 GPU (codenamed Xenos) is quite interesting. The part itself is made up of two physically distinct silicon ICs. One IC is the GPU itself, which houses all the shader hardware and most of the processing power. The s...

I think VF5 has some nicer (more realistic) character models, while DOA4's are a completely different art style but equally compelling. The background and arenas go hands down to DOA4. But I don't think these are a valid comparison. It comes down more to development time than anything else.
You are comparing graphics in a game that premiered one month after the release of a system in development under 2 years to a game that has come out almost half a year after PS3 release, ...
This is not about another damn flame war between you fan boys. If you truely want to do some good with all this technology we have when you are not using it for gaming, then by all means save some lives. These programs have been available on the PC for a few years now and I will include some links if anyone would like to donate computer time. I think its truely great that the PS3 can be used to these ends as well.
For PC the programs you can Help with include SETI (Search fo...

360 sold 20,000 units less than expected and ps3 sold 70,000 less than expected, with no AAA games be released, can't say I'm astounded. Also, comparing these titles to older generations is foolish, because even with inflation these consoles are vastly more expensive than previous consoles. Guess what here will be a market analysis for March console sales: THEY WILL SUCK AS WELL! March is historically not a huge selling month.
Another analysis: They need to drop 360 and PS...
