C1 and X1800XT

ATI and/or MS was quick to point out the Xenos was capable of 1080p but that Xbox only output 1080i (or was it that it output 720p but most HDTV sets would upscale to 1080i?).

1080p is more pixels than 1600x1200.


AFAIK

Xenos can output whatever you want it to but a seperate output chip scaler (designed by the WebTV/M3 team) purposely limits it to 1080i and any resolutions below (user choice)

Im sure that would depend on the game (even if it could render at that resolution at all).

However just because crazy resolutions would bring the R520 to its knees, how does it follow that Xenos is thus faster!?!
I was being facetious. I doubt any screens even support that resolution. It was to illustrate that saying C1 is slower at framerates that televisions don't support anyways is moot.
