PS3 GPU equal to a 7800.

* PlayStation 3 GPU Less Powerful than GeForce 7800 (from TeamXbox.com)

The Inquirer reports that an nVIDIA spokesperson was quoted in the Official PlayStation Magazine saying that the RSX GPU is basically a slightly less powerful GeForce 7800.
That means that almost a year before launch, there’s a PC graphics chip that is more powerful than the RSX GPU found in the PlayStation 3. And make no mistake, this is not a crazy, speculative conclusion ; this comes straight from the company that makes both parts: the RSX and GeForce 7800 graphics processing units.

Those are the rumoured specs (and have been since E3 pretty much), but I'd raise the bullshit flag reading PS3 news from an XBOX site myself.

If it's OPM, that's interesting, but I read in Computer Gaming World that Sony's demos at E3 were being run by two 7800's in SLI mode.

I read in GamePro that the PS3's graphics were powered by the blood of the innocent children of the world.

It could just be a rumor, though.

I thought you meant an Atari 7800.

It's already been confirmed that it runs on the blood of pakistani virgins.

That's how you tell which region you have.

Asian = Virgins
North America = Innocent children

Nope. People at Beyond 3d are confirming it.

Meaningless. My Xbox is pathetic compared to my PC, yet it still cranks out awesome HD games that look spectacular at constant high framerates.

Meanwhile, I'm fighting with fucking network settings to get Dungeon Siege 2 working with my friends.

Show me the games mang.
