Well, those pic\'s are from the developer "Inevitable" who are also developing for the PS2. We will hopefully see both PS2 AND Xbox screens and then we will really see.

I have no doubt the Xbox\'s graphics will be sa-weet, but I do have some reservations about the Xbox having pixel shading and all that. If it\'s a standard for Nvida I guess it will, but if it costs more to integrate maybe it won\'t. I have no clue. It would be nice to get conformation on the exact preformance of the GS that will be in the Xbox, and not just Nvida\'s specs alone, especially since according to the official xbox site the GS is said to be a "joint" Nvidia/MS chip. That could mean certain specs or features are altered or even omitted to keep costs down.

wow FF Thirteen - whoo hooo - j/k

i know you meant VIII instead of XIII

i think that those pictures are pretty nice looking - and it seems that PC once again will make a leap ahead of consoles

The card itself is $600. It comes out for the Mac first, and if you want best performance get the 733G4 model. So, over $3,000.

I don\'t see the need to get one, i\'ll buy a Geforce 3 when the power will actually ne used. And I don\'t believe for a split second x-box will look as good as that, keep dreaming.

Xbox will look even better than this!


Hmmm seing that the Card in the X Box will not be a Ge force 3 it\'s hard to see why the screens on  it will look as good as them if not better.

Also seeing that the ge force 3 will be out for Apple mac first, will kind of put a dammper on this seeing there fealings on Microsoft.

and yeah  Living-In-Clip your right.

$600 for the card ?

whats the X box going to be launched at :rolleyes:.

plus there is the added fact there Microsoft have already chosen there Card for the X box :rolleyes:.

Ummm my fellow PSX2central poster

The NVidia chipset in the XBox is a generation ahead of the the Geforce3. Xbox games will look better than this

I can not believe the huge denial factor some of you guys have. I\'m starting to wonder if you all just hope they don\'t look this good, so it makes it easier to resist buying one.

No Xbox game is runing off final dev kits and the screens from CES we\'re on par or better then any current PS2 game


as for the price, MS will take a huge loss on every unit. I don\'t think MS even cares if they make a profit at all this generation because they are trying to get there foot in the door. ALso a PIII is dirt cheap compared to the EE, the NVidia GPU is being R+D with MS money in advance so MS will get them at cost while NVidia makes profit on PC cards, Harddrives are dirt cheap when you buy a few million as is 64mb of mem chips


Not to mention Mexican and Hungarian Production plants which reduces production costs.


Believe it people Xbox will easily be no more than $300,  and more then likely on par with the PS2


MS\'s Gamestock is March 13 and they\'ll show off about a 12 games so more info will be avaialble soon.

ddaryl, you have become a MS fanboy
even defending them in the IGN ps2 forum,
of which people flammed you
you gave no good reasons why it would be 300 dollars.. I have lot all respect in you and thats why i\'m leaving this forum... thanks for nothing

for anybody that cares to see what ddaryl has become...
http://boards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=3128606&replies=42

BTW, ddaryl
MS is all about money
if they don\'t make money, their stock plunders
they are spending 500 million on advertising
gamespot said the geforce 3 is hard and expensive to produce... the x-box won\'t be cheap
MS HAS to make money... thats how it works, its really sad what you have become

I can\'t say the character models are very impressive. The realtime shadow projection is nice tho\'. but whats really amazing is the bump-mapped,per pixelized, shading anti-aliased, geomodded, textures on the wings. They almost look like a real copper sheet, with realistic folds, and wrinkles and what not.  

I might just buy one of these for my 90 mhz compaq pc. :D

You guys need to attend business school!

1. the chip in the Xbox is one generation ahead of the NV20!
   Learn about it before you speak! Your so damn blind
   from false propoganda that you don\'t even bother to
   research the **** you talk about!

2. When you order 20-30 million of the GPU\'s from Nvidia
   it tends to lower the price a JUST A LITTLE BIT.
   Oh yeah throw in a cool 200 million in cash that they
   paid for in advance! Which is explained in MS\'s 4th
   quarter financial report!

3. Oh yeah do you guys know what the word subsidize means?
   Come back here and let me know if you do because Sony
   also does it on every single PS2 made to bring it to
   market at a resonable price!

4. DDaryl isn\'t a fanboy  and neither am I! He is just
   unbiased! I have a PS2 and have alot of fun with it but
   Xbox is going to be a great machine and there is
   nothing you can say or do about it. **** man grow up!

5. Damn all that schooling and not one bad word about PS2!
   Very amusing guys...very amusing!
