Default RSX = 7800 Rumor Debunked!

The thing is, if this was debunked months ago then why do the Xflops
keep harping on it?


All the xflop fanbitches have are their self-made and self-propagated
lies to keep them from slitting their wrists out of desperation, that
is why. This is straight from Nvidia about the new dual-GPU 7950 GX2,
which implies the RSX is more like it, although not exactly:

Nvidia Beefs Up Highest-End Video Cards

"Although the new 7950 may be using some of the same technology that
powers the Nvidia graphics of Sony's next-generation gaming console
PlayStation 3, the new high-end desktop graphics card is not the same
technology as the PS3 graphics silicon, according to Burke.

"This is a desktop GPU part, it's not part of what we're working on
with Sony on PS3," he said.

In addition to the twin GPUs running on one card, the 7950 GX2 also
features 48 pixel pipes, 16 vertical shaders, more bandwidth and
memory, and DVI support for widescreen flat panel displays and
resolution as great as 2,560 x 1,600."

THAT SAYS NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE RSX IN PLAYSTATION3,
you DUMB TROL.

the 48 pixel pipes in the 7950 are the pixel shader units, not pixel
pipelines.

the 7950 configuration has:
16 vertex shader units
48 pixel shader units
32 pixel pipelines (rops)

double everything from a G70 or G71

but this says ZIP about the RSX.

RSX most likely has:
6 vertex shaders (instead of 8)
12 to 20 pixel shaders (instead of 24)
confirmed 8 pixel pipelines/rops (instead of 16)
confirmed 128-bit bus (instead of 256-bit bus)

this puts RSX closer to the budget GPU: G73, aka GeForce 7600 GT

to be clear, RSX is not EXACTLY a G73 - GeForce 7600 GT. the RSX is
something between a 7600 GT and 7800 GTX, but NOT as powerful as the
7800 GTX.

lol you dozy ****, merk. if it says anything at all it says the 7950
is nothing like the RSX.

(apologies for replying to the wrong post, but it had to be said and
the dozy **** is in my killfile)

Air Raid hasath spokeneth theseth wordeths ofeth wisethdometh:



but this says ZIP about the RSX.

RSX most likely has:
6 vertex shaders (instead of 8)

Speculation

12 to 20 pixel shaders (instead of 24)

Speculation

confirmed 8 pixel pipelines/rops (instead of 16)

This doesn't mean anything, PS2 had 16 pixel pipelines

confirmed 128-bit bus (instead of 256-bit bus)

Not exactly, no.

You stil have it wrong. According to some developers at Beyond3D Sony
and Nvidia simply split the 256 bit bus into 2x 128 bit busses to give
the PS3 more flexibility. *One path goes to the Vram and the other back
to CELL. So stating that RSX only has 1x 128 bit bus is only a half
truth.

This breakup of the bandwidth also means CELL can aid RSX with
graphics. Just like the PS2's EE helped (did all the work) for the GS
chip. Except this time, the CELL has RSX to help out. In no way shape
or form with the Xbox360 be more powerful than the PS3.. well, except
for the Edram, and I'm not so sure that will even be much of an impact.
The 360 is already being forced to upconvert games to 720p.
