RSX = 7800 Rumor Debunked!

It says that the RSX has many similarities to the G70 (or whatever their new card is), but it's much faster than the G70." Posted by a mod/operator of teamxbox.com of all places. 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: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/50939.html 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." http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q2...2/7950-gx2.jpg 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. |
