If your Xbox is even in the same league as your PC, it's because your PC sucks, not because the Xbox is good. This topic, even if it isn't true today, will be realized about a year after the PS3 hits. If you blink, you'll miss the time when consoles are equal to PCs in each generation.Quote:

Nothing at either of those links proves this isn't true, except for an old quote from an Nvidia guy, which gets cancelled out by this being a new quote from an Nvidia guy. Not that I'd be shocked to see it disproven, but since I don't even think they've manufactured an RSX yet, it's entirely believable they slightly downgraded the performance to save cost - it'd still be the most powerful GPU in any of the next generation consoles.Quote:

I said it once and I'll say it again. The difference graphically in all the next gen systems from each other will be about as different as they are now. Which is minimal.
The 360 could be twice as powerful as PS3 but all the games will look damn near the same.
When I see an unqualified "7800" I still think of the Atari variety, not GeForce
If they had a kickass PS3 version of Ballblazer I'd be all for it.Quote:

Pathetic!
Whatever the RSX turns out to be, without some major re-engineering on Nvidia's part, the 360 GPU will be better than the RSX, all of Nvidia's other GPUs, and even the next ATI GPU hands down (better than the RSX, though not necessarily faster). Having said that, I doubt the RSX will be a current Nvidia GPU, Sony isn't paying millions to license soon-to-be-old technology.
"update" a 7800gtx is not "as fast" as the rsx
PlayStation 3 GPU More Powerful than GeForce 7800!

NVIDIA contacted us today after we published the "PlayStation 3 GPU Less Powerful than GeForce 7800" story based on a report found at The Inquirer. Derek Perez, NVIDIA's Director of Public Relations, was kind enough to provide us the actual paragraph from the September issue of PSM. Here is the information from the blurb in question:
There's no doubting that NVIDIA's new 7800GTX is the ultimate in PC graphics technology. The card's G70 GPU, which is more than twice as powerful as two of NVIDIA's previous top-of-the-line 6800 boards, shares a lot of similar workings with the PS3's RSX chip - only it isn't as fast. Oh, and it retails for $599.
The article actually says the GeForce 7800 GTX is not as fast as the RSX graphics processing unit that NVIDIA developed for the PlayStation 3.
We apologize for any confusion and we'd like to thank NVIDIA for providing the exact info.
