Technology PS3 Console Images

Actually looking at it now, I see why the PS3 GPU, the RSX has more flops than the 360 GPU R500 by ATI. The R500 is clearly a generation ahead of RSX, and doesn't work in the same fashion.

Think of it this way.

Up front, it seems the R500 is twice as efficient as the RSX.

So the RSX requires twice the amount of silicon to get the same job done. But since you have more transistors, you can hype more flops.

R500 gets a much lower flops rating, because it's much more efficient.

at the sony press conference they showed a demo of Unreal 2007 on the Unreal Engine 3 and the guy came out and was like yea, we did this in just 2 months......it's very easy to write for the ps3, it's very compatible with pc hardward.

THe XNA code is almost the same if not the same as PC code, it will be much easier to program for, MS will see to that.

Theres no way in hell Sony can match MS when it comes to software or programming code, thats just a given.

The ATI GPU is stronger, they have the eDDRAM.

how can the ati gpu be stronger ?

ati gpu

* 10 MB of embedded DRAM
* 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines
* Unified shader architecture

nvidia RSX

550MHz
1.8 TFLOPS floating point performance
Full HD (up to 1080p) x 2 channels
Multi-way programmable parallel floating point shader pipelines

Flops dont mean shit.

Read above and read up on both cards from independent PC sources.

ATI Technology > nVidia Technology

Ugly ass controller, looks like a boomeran dildo.

A girl throws it in the air and it flies right back into her coocha. lol

ATI Technology > nVidia Technology

lmao that doesnt make it more powerful..

the co founder of nividia just said on that press conference also
that the nividia rsx was twice as powerful as the the most powerful radeon cpu in the latest pcs, i cant remember what model he said.. watch the conference videos

 

[PaulyPac]

aight im off to watch the xbox conference

 

[KDeezy]

ok........... ummm dude the FULL HD support doesnt really mean anything PERFORMANCE wise.


Also i am confused why they chose to have it support 7 controllers....... i mean wouldnt 6 or 8 make MORE sense.

Overall the system is one hell of a performer but the design isnt sitting well with me , but neither did Xbox 2's design ...... but it did grow on me.


The controller is meh .

And as for all the performence crap....... honestly systems are HYPED up beyond belief before the are actually released so arguing about that is pointless.

 

[PaulyPac]

The controller is meh .

its a prototype

Oh wow the nVidia boss said his product was more powerful, what did you expect him to say?

The R500 is more powerful than the current top of the line PC chips too, (its more powerful than the R520 and R800 dont be fooled by the name).

Infact, the PC market wont see anything like the R500 until late 2007/early 2008.

Imo

ATi has always shitted on nVidia in power. More pipelines, more bilions of pixels and is more compatible with any system. Only reason why ppl shit themselves when it comes to nVidia is because of the commercialism surrounding it. Most amateur PC gamers will take an nVidia card over a ATi cause they dunno better. Also the fact that years ago Nvidia bought Voodoo, that created hype cause Voodoo used to be one of the tops gunners back in the days.

This is all PC wise though, so whatever is going on with the consoles, well, that's a whole different story.

watch the conference videos man, they sum up everything

 

[Kryogenikz]

true^^^ the Sony Press Conference is really informative and they break almost every aspect down and gives u a clearer idea on how they compare to other systems. It's 1 hr and 50 mins though....so make sure u got time.

To get back on topic, the more I look at the PS3 the more I dont like it. It looks like a damn kitchen grill or something, the thing is big too. The Sony guy had to lift it with two hands! The controller is ugly and big too (stop saying its a prototype that doesnt matter Im commenting on the images.)

Its going to be interesting to see how the Jap market takes on to it, seeing as they hated the Xbox because it was too big and the controller was too bulky for their smaller hands, now the shoe seems to be on the other foot I wonder if they will bitch.

Me I dont care if its big just like I didnt care the Xbox was big so eh, Japs are weird when it comes to stuff like that though.

 

[Kryogenikz]

saw a couple of guys commenting on the XBOX and said it's bigger than it looks. Yea alot slimmer but it's mostly cuz people usually have the original XBOX console in mind and how big that was. still sexy though

 

[Salar]

I dont like the look of it nor the controller (don't care if it's a prototype). but WOW to the specs. This should be awesome.

 

[ARon]

I wonder what the PS is going to do with 6 or 7 controllers? Any ideas? I can see it working for sports games, but can you imagine a FPS split screen with 6 or 7 players?

You can play it on 2 tv's at once, mtv news just said that.

 

[Rukas]

^^ That would be pretty sweet.

LOL peep this, Im not hating, Ill buy one, but this was just so funny cause its true .

 

[bigmack]

^^hahhaa lmfao

who cares if nvidia or ati is better,it all comes down to when these things are released,then we can judge them. these numbers are so close that it really doesnt make sense to argue.

and about the ps3 controller,who cares if its ugly,im sure they put a shitload of research to find something comfortable.also,if u dont like the controller,im sure the market will be flooded with 3rd party accessories that are different.

in the end,it all comes down to preference,u like xbox 360,good, u like ps3 better,then get that, u a rich mf and want both,then get both.

also depends on the games. if u got a nice piece of hardware but shit software then u got shit.software has to utilize the hardware properly

 

[one mc on dj]

yep they sure look sexy
