"The fool doth thinks he is wise but the wise man knows himself to be a fool"
As for beyond3d, I read that forum too. Its run by actual industry professionals who know what they're talking about. Developers from some of the best games write on beyond3d because its a controlled environment that focuses on technical issues rather than brand alliances.
If you know someone who knocks it it's probably because they got banned for being raging fa...
Dude, I dont comment much on N4G but seriously give it a rest. No offense bro but your clearly way out of your league and talking about things you dont understand just yet.
Peace.
@Meatpopsicle
Dont knock b3d, man. Nowadays theyre pretty good about keeping fanboys from all sides out which is why actual developers post there.
You're saying we shouldn't think about yabout the sales numbers so why are you commenting on this article about sales numbers?
@atlys
You're right on bro. Windows 7 has severe driver issues with the Intel and Broadcom network cards being used.
It's a disgusting mess.
My clients are loosing money and their sleep because Microsoft can't put out a decent operating system.
and look how that turned out!
Two weeks ago I installed 7 professional for a medical practice and they've had regular problems that they never had with XP.
How many were replaced by extra warranties that you buy? Those all count as SALES.
Something to think about.
So why so many jaggy games? Cuz it was a pain to use. You had to set up the rendering in a certain order for it to work.
Games that used it looked phenomenal.
DLAA on Cell is more than twice as fast as Xenos because Lucasarts also said it was higher quality.
I dont know you can add that to your numbers but ill let you figure it out.
Sorry bro your some of your facts are wrong. You need to reread the article on Digital Foundry.
Also at 4xAA there are plenty of jaggies just not bad enough to cut your eye open.
Also your language and name-calling is not great.
@Raztad, one mistake bro there are many 4xMSAA games on 360 and PS3 that are HD.
Is not a new technique. They didnt have it b4 cuz old GPUS cant handle it. The new GPUs are better than the old ones. The best part is it its not a bandwidth hog like MSAA and it wont hog shaders as much as SSAA.
Thanks for posting those numbers from the developers of SWTFU2.
It's amazing that the Cell is that much faster at running shaders (a set of software instructions, which is used primarily to calculate rendering effects) than the 360's actual dedicated GPU!
Especially the fact that it came straight from the guys who made SW:TFU2, I mean, seriously, who are we to disagree?
They even provided actual numbers.
Wow.
...
Console implementations have shown far superior results.
I got your LODs right here. A lot of people convert these to mod other games.
Forza 3
LOD0: 172753 polys-selection screen only
LOD1: 45074 polys
LOD2: 21802 polys
LOD3: 13134 polys
LOD4: 6360 polys
LOD5: 2556 polys
Hi-res cockpit: 79845 polys
I want a TV without glasses.
Just what aspect of what I said "hinted at Sony fanboyism"?
YOUR the one even bringing Sony into this discussion yet your calling me a fanboy?
Seriously?
I dont mean to be harsh but the only fanboy here is you. You always saying how great Microsoft is and how everything else sucks.
Every time thats all you talk about. I dont post much but I watch everything so I know.
The ONLY reason I even bothered to post was because people were saying wrong things about cameras which are near and dear to me.
Bigpappy your talking about things you don't understand. Maybe you SHOULD have looked at Wiki.
CCD is not a "board" its a digital sensor called charged coupled device.
CMOS is like a cheap version of CMOS.
And yeah as Mnichlas said they both pick up infrared IF you switch filters which is very cheap to do. That video explains it right.
How do I know this? I'm a professional photographer (weddings, events, ...
That's like the only intelligent comment here.
Fanboys on both sides are gonna hate this. LOL!
You right. 100 Million projected install base is a lot but I think it will "Cell" even more. Thats because, like you said, Toshiba is putting it in a lot of their own devices. Its an awesome chip and so its good that its so successful.
@Mnichols did you get my PM?
Simulator: GT5 (realistic handling, photorealistic visuals, complex weather, real time day-night transitions so everything is dynamic rather than baked, double cars per race, etc)
Entertainment: Forza 3 (you can paint the cars, excellent online format, more cars with cockpit view)
