Let the hype begin! (PS3)

NVidia is working with Sony on the "RSX Reality Synthesizer" for the PS3. It will be able to produce "movie quality" graphics at 60 FPS.

Yeah right. I\'ll be samwise boytoy and lick his feet before I feed into the hype again.

I like it because it would fit in with the other components nicely.  I hate the way the PS2 is tiny.  It looks like shit in an entertainment center.  That thing shown above would look great.

agreed

I guess they wanted to totally do something different. Hey for all we know the controller could be awesome.

Even though it doesn\'t look like it. I am getting one regardless so meh........

Not sure if this has been posted before, but here\'s a direct feed off the Sony conference.

Killzone will absolutely blow your mind! Mark my words.

I would take ATI over nividia anyday. And nothing has been said concerning the ps3 gpu as of yet. So I guess we will just have to wait and see. But people are expecting these mind blowing specs.
The hype machine sure is going.

Maybe we will get toy story graphics after all.

Hi QuDDus !:)

The PS3 RSX seems more powerful than the XBox one with its 1.8 teraflop, but I should say, in general, that Nvidia and ATI  
are almost on par in PC market.....
both consoles are impressive , now let\'s wait and see for all the games!!!!;)

well my statements were confirmed. I knew ATI would make the better gpu.

Ati>>>>>Nividia

Um, how do you figure that? PS3 is claiming to be twice as powerful as Xbox 360.

50 million dot products vs. 9 million
100 million shader operations vs. 40-50-ish (don\'t remember exactly)

Unless Sony is hyping through the roof again (which is entirely possible ) then PS3 > Xbox 360 in terms of raw performance (including the GPU).

yeah, plus neither sony nor MS has given out the total details of what their respective GPUs can do yet....

but some fanboys love to jump the gun

Forget the tflop nonsense.

Simple facts:

- CELL has roughly double the floating point performance of Xbox360\'s 3-core setup.

- The PS3 has a much higher transistor count than Xbox360

- Yes, that also holds through when comparing both GPUs that Nvidia\'s part has more transistors and a higher clockspeed.

I am not sure yet, how different they are, the GPUs, but from what we know TODAY, it seems Nvidia\'s part is more "powerful" given its higher transitor budget coppled with the higher clock. The only thing that\'s not clear is the bandwidth advantage of ATi\'s part thanks to eDRAM.

Not sure though if the bus is 256GBytes/sec or indeed "only" 64GBytes. Unfortunately there are many sites that just can\'t get the little b for bits and the big B for bytes right. I\'m not sure, but I\'m assuming it\'s 64GBytes/sec. Note though that it\'s only 10 MB of eDram there that is just for the framebuffer. How this advantage turns out, we\'ll see in given time.

If you think ps3 is this huge monster your more of a sheep that I thought. And if you get past all the smoke the 360 gpu is slightly better than ps3. The ps3 has a faster cpu but that won\'t matter.

It would come down to who has the better system design. Because what under each system makes them almost dead even in terms of performance.

I am getting both but it cracks me up how much some people read into the hype.
